Gameweek 22 gets underway this Saturday lunchtime as Liverpool welcome basement-dwellers Swansea City to Anfield at 12.30pm.

Subject to more transfers in than any midfielder in FPL last week, Philippe Coutinho is handed a first league start since Gameweek 13.

The Brazilian has three double-figure hauls in his last five home starts and faces up to a defence that’s conceded at least three goals in seven of the previous nine Gameweeks.

Adam Lallana, with a goal or assist in six of his seven home starts, is another one to watch, though Coutinho’s return could also spark Roberto Firmino back into life. The latter bagged a goal and assist against the Swans earlier in the season and is set to return to the “false 9” role against Paul Clement’s strugglers.

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

    Firmino owners coming out the woodwork 😀

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They had to re-activate their accounts, been a while

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Some forgotten ghost teams will do well

  2. The Wise Owl

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino did the dead fish celebration 😆

    Thrilled for Firmino owners but let's not pretend a brace justifies nine blanks in eleven games

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years

      LMAO!

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      This

  4. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Why did I choose Coutinho over Firmino?!

  5. Vatroslav
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Should I keep Firmino now, or is this the perfect goodbye gift?

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      with coutinho back,he will score,keep

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep players when they score 2

  6. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Very poor defending on that. But that take and strike from Firmino was a beaut

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It was a briliant finish. As good as Lewandowski's last night at the Schwarzwald.

  7. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    That was a wijnaldum handball

  8. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    just how bad was Coutinho? Time to sell, again?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's getting back to full match fitness. I thought he was pretty good and threatening. Keep.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He wasn't bad, probably needs more time until he can play 90mins

    3. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Is this a joke?

  9. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This is a JOKE! All four ML Rivals ahead of me have Firmino, one of them just bought him. 1 goal in 10 games and and now he gets a brace?!

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not really. Logic = points. good fixture and moved into central role

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Tell that to Kane at home to Burnley and Hull when I captained. Or all the other 'obvious' picks this season that have failed.

    2. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Did you think he'd never score again?

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It's the ridiculously lucky convenience my league leader has had this entire season.

  10. Tangerine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Wonder if origi was about to come on for firminho before that goal?

  12. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    There's no winning with these Liverpool mids

  13. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Flabby handski never fails.

  14. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This is why I kept hold of Firmino all this time 😀

    ** Tears streaming down my face **

  15. Deulofail

    9 years, 2 months ago

    I wish Arsenal had this sense of urgency at 65 mins. We don't have this Liverpool's kind of intensity when behind until 90 mins.
