Saturday’s action concludes at Anfield with Liverpool attempting to halt a wretched run in 2017 with victory over fellow title hopefuls Spurs.

From a Fantasy perspective, our focus will mainly be with the visitors, with Dele Alli and Kyle Walker boasting 27.2% and 36.2% ownership respectively. Harry Kane (19%) and Christian Eriksen (15.9%) also go into the tea-time kick-off heavily backed, despite suffering significant sales: Kane was shown the exit by more than 127,000, second only to Liverpool’s Adam Lallana ahead of Gameweek 25.

Jurgen Klopp’s assets have slumped, both in terms of output and popularity with Philippe Coutinho (17.4%) and Lallana (16%) still the top owned on show. The latter is without a goal or an assist in his last five Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      You wanna have someone's babies who didn't score a goal?

    2. Royal5

      Easy on the pepsi. Could still be removed.

    4. Tansey

      Just sleep with Jonny evens and Gareth will sneak in for the last touch

      1. Ziro

    Aguero(C)+15 vs Walker+Coutinho+Costa
    Who to win?

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

      I'd have them 3 over 15 points.

  15. Conk

    Mcauley is sitting on my bench, take the goal off him for god sake

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Heh same here. This game certainly takes you to places you didn't think existed.

  16. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    It can't be a Brunt assist and McAuley goal lol. Evans clearly got a touch. Either Brunt assist and Evans goal or Evans assist and GMac goal.

  17. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If Mcauley gets that goal this game has gone down the pan. Wrong decisions like that can cost people 100s in cash leagues

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      There was a post last page on how Opta guys shouldn't have an FPL team as players cant take part in betting

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

        Fully agree.
        If it doesnt get changed theres something very wrong

    2. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agree, total madness

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not if the various angles do show it hit Mcauley last

    4. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. There must be 0 mistaked like that, but sometimes they just let them be. I remember I was robbed a Silva goal GW1 in 2015. It was later given to him officially, but FPL didn't bother.

  18. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Honest answer guys.
    was it an Evans goal or not?

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

      Of course. Watch the replay

      1. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Evans goal, Brunt assist

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

      Should be evans goal but think fpl will leave it on mcauley

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Very hard to tell

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If its hard to see then they should give it to a player that actually headed the ball and not trying to be clever idiots

        1. Mark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 19 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Because it's the last touch.

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'm still pretty sure that was Evans'.

            *cmon Mark I need that Brunt assist*

          2. walkman666
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Very equivocal though, with zero impact on the shot. It seems far more controversial to award goal to the iffy glance than the shot taker.

          3. JJO
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Could McCauley score that goal from that position with back of his head if there was no Evans hittiing the ball behind him
            Ofcourse he couldnt...so all this is BS..its Evans goal and only an idiot would considered anything different

            1. Mark
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 19 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              That's not how it works with any deflected goal. Also, it's even possible that Evan's effort is not on target before it deflects off McAuley.

            2. Jazz!
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              That's a ridiculous comment lol. If McAuley touched it last, it's his goal.

              1. JJO
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                But you cant be sure he touched it,there is no direction change
                If there is a camera view that clearly says he touched it than give the goal to McCauley
                But from all those angles I saw it its Evans header and no change of direction until it hits the net

    4. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It was Evans goal
      It maybe touched the end of McCauleys fluff but even Lukaku wouldnt claim this goal his

  19. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Expect Lallana to get goal and assist

  20. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The camera angle is terrible.

  21. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Its like the camera is on top of a sky scraper

  22. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do we actually believe ownership of players plays a part in borderline decisions in awarding points?

    All seems a bit conspiracy theory like. Although from memory, highly owned players do seem to get the benefit of the doubt more often than not. (lost on old article)

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, its just a convinient excuse for those that dont get the points they want

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks andy for convincing me that an early kick off isn't reason enough to not pick Alexis as captain. Got me an extra 15 points.

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Excellent 🙂

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I agree, I can only recall two other examples. In each case the more highly owned player got the points against what I saw in video footage, but touches can be so feint it's impossible to tell in most camera angles. In the current system any touch equals points (even the tips of somebodies hair it seems), which seems pretty unfair when it doesn't alter the flight of the ball in any way whatsoever... but those are the rules. Lukaku/Bolasie was similar at the start of this season.

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mayb slightly. If it was too random Swansea defenders doubt it'd get any attention.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So it isn't a conspiracy theory lol

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think anyone can say FPL are not swayed by such things . Or are they just totally incompetent..

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's not their call

    5. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jeez...I'll say again, FPL have zero influence on goal decisions.

      Why do folk believe that a Fantasy Football game decide goalscorers?

      Data handlers (Opta) and PL Match Centre will make the decision. FPL are waiting on it.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I always assumed... (that is was Opta at least, no idea who PL Match Centre are or what they do!)

        1. Mark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 19 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          They are dubious goals which now happens on matchday rather than days later.

  23. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not changing now I think
    Don't they normally post something saying they are looking at it

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They tweeted to say they're looking at it

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I really should look at Twitter now I follow them

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

      They did

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All on twitter now.

      Last update was 35 mins ago was:

      SCOUT: West Brom's second goal is currently under review by the @premierleague Match Centre

    4. Oi! Shadders!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      FPL twitter 'scout' said it's being reviewed.

    5. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Match Centre are waiting on further angles for review.

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    That Brunt assist if it is one could be crucial in my head to head this week. This is important stuff.

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have Brunt, and my rival has Mcauely in H2H....

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same here
      I got brunt..he has McAuley

  25. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So if West brom given it to Evans what happens now. Let me guess..it stays on FPL?

  26. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is it possible for McAuley goal to be Evans goal?

  27. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just got back from futsal and didn't check the score yet.
    Ibra pulled a hattie, didn't he?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3 goals + 3 assists

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years

      He sure did
      .

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      A hattie of hatties: 3 goals, 3 assists, 3 OGs

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah he was outstanding.

  28. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Everton vs SUN tot WBA HULL

    Baines + Lukaku owner

    Ibra + Jones >> Costa + Coleman (2 FT)

    Yay or Nay?

  29. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance it can be a McAuley goal & Brunt assist? 😉

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

      And Mata goal and Ibra assist?

  30. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    PVA trying his best to be as useless as Daniels was for me. 2 points in 2 gameweeks. I can't believe I paid 5m for a Palace defender, what was I thinking...
