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

      See if Pool had signed him a couple of seasons ago, like I said they should, then he wouldn't have been able to score a brace against them. #foresight.

        Good point.

          I'm sitting beside the phone awaiting a call for the Director of Football job 😉

    How on earth is that not another yellow

    Disgraceful

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

      Because Llorente took a dive perhaps?

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

        Yeah....no

  3. The Bandit

    People are getting a bit over sensitive imo, lolling at an important player being subbed for 1pt is hardly lolling at someones broken leg

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

      Agreed

      Who got subbed with a broken leg?!?!

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nobody 😀

      It's not even lol worthy he was never ever ever going to get more than 50-70mins with the cup tie wed and coming back from injury and people are acting surprised! There were people even talking of hits for him

    7. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Just think it's pretty pathetic tbh WR. Pretty shallow people if they feel the need to post nonsense of that nature.

  4. TheTinman

    Lucky Klavan

  5. Henry_555

    Perfect way to start your wildcarded gameweek is coutinho and lovren getting 1 point each. Never trust Liverpool

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Should've never got Lovren on WC. Coutinho will give. Maybe Later.

      1. Henry_555
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        he didnt impress me at all in his 55 mins, firmino much more of a treath

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

    Clyne equaliser needed, winner would be nice too!

  7. Crow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    And lorente -- negredo 2 gw's ago backfires again. Fluk...

    1. stuarto
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He had a knock tho... understandable

  8. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Need a lovren goal

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

    Sturridge with a splitting pass

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

      Come on 😉

    Cant wait to see what Klopp says about the officiating.

  11. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Still think Swans need to switch Siggy in behind Llorente. Olsson needs defensive help in front of him. Get on Fulton for Fer.

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

    Would it be allowed in the rules for Coutinho to be subbed back on?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Once you've been subbed off, you're out.

    2. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not gonna happen bro

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

      Klopp used that tactic with Aubameyang for Dortmund when he wasn't fully fit.

    4. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      no

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

        No worries, just wishful thinking haha!

  13. Fowler23
    • 10 Years

    Disgusting from Llorente.

  14. Number Four

    Picking ex-La Liga players always paid off.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Iago Aspas.

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

        Did he even play over 300 mins at Liverpool?

        4th best top scorer currently at La Liga.

        1. XabiAlonso

  19. Rainer

    Clyne > Baines the obvious transfer if he starts?

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

      Clyne > Coleman.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      If you have nothing else to do, it's a good move

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Tom Carroll.

        Might go back to 3-4-3 or even 4-3-3

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Milner appears better Liverpool value till Mané returns.

  22. Ógie

    Origi coming on for who Firminho?

    1. Chris_White

    Opta Joe

    Liverpool are the first PL team score 50 goals this season, while Swansea are the first to concede 50.

  24. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Hope Baines doesn't play

  25. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

  27. Dimen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I sincerely cannot believe it. I finally find the space to get rid of Llorente after 6 weeks of crap and he does this.

  28. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Oh my.

  29. diesel001
