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.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Leaving him. Won't lose much value.

      Guess how many saves Forster has this season?

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Teahupo'o
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Heaton 80
          Pickford 73
          Foster 64
          ...
          Forster 27

      2. Teahupo'o
        • 14 Years

    Wally -> Lallana this week

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

  11. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    RP. choose one:

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

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Same here.

    2. sminkypinky

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

      Small calf injury.

  16. Donster
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Keep Mane atleast another week he's dominating

    2. Donster
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

  18. Top 210 Club

    Time to give Mane a little rest. Come on Klop

    1. Lawrø
      • 13 Years

      AFCON coming up, no rest needed 😉

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years

  19. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    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...

  20. Sif
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Peiters, Lalanna, Origi & a 7 game accy 😀

    1. Count of Monte Hristo

  21. tm245
    • 14 Years

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

    1. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      ^This

      Origi for the assist too for errrrrmm harmony

  23. Somalion
    • 15 Years

    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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Chambers

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

    3. Sif
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. riskywhat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        They've looked decent in the games I've watched. Got good fixtures coming up too.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Get an attacker from the top scoring team in the league 😉

    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?
