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

    Stuck with Firmino for 7 blanks in 8 fixtures, then got rid for Coutinho

  10. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Frustrated as f*** because of coutinho

  11. stachman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Wow... I had so many other things to do that I was forced to leave Firmino in my team... Maybe it's payback time...

    1. RamaJama

      -8 to get him in a week to early for full fitness

  12. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So glad I didn't captain Cout.

        I'm inside the top 10k so I'll not worry too much about one player not delivering.

  13. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE

    This Llorente double has shades of Gestede's for Villa at Anfield last season

  14. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard to Dele almost confirmed now 😀

    Hoping that convinces people to sell Coutinho so he drops

  16. Tommy J

    Just looked at my mini leader's team-he took out Pogba and brought in Coutinho......looked good on paper.

    This Liverpool game has been a prime example of Martin Olsson. It's been the same all the while he's played for us.

    + Great going forward, pace to get forward and back
    - shocking in the air and awareness of opposition

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He was aware
      FIrmino pushed him

      1. Trading Bear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        You could compile a series of highlights with the goals we've conceeded just like the one he did.

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wasn't sure why they bought him tbh, it certainly wasn't for his experience in avoiding relegation 😉

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

      Was very impressed with that pass to Carroll though

  19. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    This Swansea side look great. Can't wait til Amat gets his place back, one less def to worry about.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He won't.

    Oh. Just when I thought luck was changing.

    Always go with your gut, I fancied Firmino over Coutinho. Asked for advice, literally everybody said Coutinho. Doh.

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

      It's your team, no one else to blame surely?

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Go away

      1. Blanka
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Encouraging people to go with their gut, calm down. You a Liverpool fan I take it.

    Klavan should be off. Filthy.

  25. Ógie

  26. Syd.

    Another pish poor refereeing decision

  27. Wouter

    Why couldn't Siggy be involved. 🙁 At least Firmino is keeping my squad proud

  28. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Coutinho in for a -4

    Great start to the GW
