Gameweek 18 rolls on this evening as Liverpool welcome Stoke to Anfield in a 5.15pm kick-off.

Owned by over 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Sadio Mane’s home form suggests he’s the man most likely to wreak havoc against the Potters – the Senegal international has scored or assisted in six of seven Anfield appearances since arriving from Southampton over the summer.

Divock Origi, with goals in all but one of the last five Gameweeks, retains his starting berth, with Jurgen Klopp set to unleash Daniel Sturridge from the bench once again.

Roberto Firmino also keeps his place as he attempts to end a run of six straight blanks.

For the Potters, Joe Allen is the form player – he’s bagged a goal and assist in the last three Gameweeks as he prepares to face his former club for the first time since moving to the bet365.

Between the posts, Lee Grant has produced at least one save point in each of the last four and should be kept busy again as the hosts look for the win that would see them leapfrog Man City into second.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    What are Pickford owners planning on doing?

    I'm tempted by upgrading to Forster, Saints have great fixtures.

      Leaving him. Won't lose much value.

      Guess how many saves Forster has this season?

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No idea...? I know he is like 5th out of the keepers based on value over the season.

        1. Teahupo'o
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Heaton 80
          Pickford 73
          Foster 64
          ...
          Forster 27

      2. Teahupo'o

        Wow. Unbelievably low.

    Wally -> Lallana this week

    Can + Carroll-> Cabaye & Rondon (-4) for gw 20.

    Good plan?

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    RP. choose one:

    a) Moses + Ibra
    b) Lallana/Sterling + Costa for -4

  6. The Bandit

    Starting Grant over Foster is not going well. Better than owning Pickford though, thankful for small mercies 🙂

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same here.

    happy holidays all, first time on here over the festive period, and I just wanted to know what happened to Theo Walcott yesterday?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Minor calf injury

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      Small calf injury.

  10. Donster
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you guys do this?

    Out: Mane, Hazard, Origi

    In: Aguero, Lallana, 6,2 mid

    Have 2 free trades to do so -4

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Mane atleast another week he's dominating

    2. Donster
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Need the cash for aguero, I'm in top 5 in my league and have to do something to get ahead

  13. Postman Ty

    Firmino is such a wank. Lallana gets accidentally tapped in the face by a HAND and he runs straight to the ref saying someone threw an intentional elbow...

  14. Sif
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Peiters, Lalanna, Origi & a 7 game accy 😀

    1. Count of Monte Hristo

      How much for the acca?

  15. tm245

    Liverpool need to get Mane the goal he deserves in order to preserve harmony and team chemistry.

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ^This

      Origi for the assist too for errrrrmm harmony

    I'm going to upgrade Joe Allen to Lallana which means I need to downgrade Vertonghen. I was thinking a Middlesbrough defender.

    Who is the best Middlesbrough defender to go for? 4.6m to spend.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chambers

    2. Mull

    3. Sif

      Watched the whole Burnley game, Boro defence were shoddy, we justed lacked the quality to score more.

    Firmino -> Lallana(FT) to free up funds or keep the Brazilian?

    Do you think Glenn Whelan's wife/GF is happy about being with a PL first teamer, or unhappy about that PL first teamer being Glenn Whelan in a Stoke midfield?

    Going for the Ibra, Costa, Aguero power front line and fairly certain about it but I'm open to suggestions.

    Transfers this gameweek: Costa for Kane (Know he has Watford but a potential price drop makes a Coutinho transfer even more difficult) and Lallana for Eriksen before he price rises. -4 (May do Ake in for Pieters to prepare for a potential Coutinho transfer (0.1m off atm).

    Transfers next gameweek: Aguero in for Defoe, Phillips in for Hazard -4 (have a point 6.2 budget).

    What do you think guys and girls? Need to pull the trigger asap if so.

    1. Donster
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking of doing something similar.

      Aguero will do more than Hazard

  29. Lawrø

    Lallana --> Emre Can
