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.

      More context required.

              Alright tough guy. Think that's enough. Go take your weird self elsewhere please. And maybe learn how to write better while you're at it. You're not making the best sense all around.

    Amongst the top 10k at the start of this GW, ownership of next week’s blanking teams is on average 2.79 players. Ownership of those teams definitely playing in GW28 currently sits at 5.18 players.

      Where did you get the stats from?

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

        Using the FPL Discovery top 10k ownership spreadsheet and a sumif formula you can get the ownership levels for each team.

          Fair enough. Thought you saw it posted somewhere.

      Among the HoF what is it? That's more relevant as it's what you're showing us ...

  5. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with Phillips?

    Shame to waste transfer to get some other WBA mid. But he may won't even start next match.

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

      Keeping, would rather get Hazard in for Sanchez for his potential score than Snoddy or Chadli...

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why won't he start?

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

        Cos he didn't get fpl points

        LOL

        Some people on here are dillusional.

    3. NestorC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why Phill wont start next match?

    4. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I probably missed something, but why will he not start?

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would keep. Not much in that price range and Bournemouth palace up next

    6. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Because he was pretty bad recently?

    7. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As soon as he stops playing, kick him as far into touch as is humanly possible and forget he ever existed.

    8. Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He has come close to goals the last couple of weeks

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    ADVICE: 1 free transfer

    Team: Heaton (Grant)
    Baines Brunt Alonso Coleman Mee
    Alli Siggy Morrison Snoddy (Sanchez)
    Lukaku (Jesus Ibra)

    A) Leave it as it is
    B) Kane in for Ibra
    C) Costa in for Ibra
    D) Mane in for Sanchez
    E) Mane and Costa in for Sanchez and Ibra

    Any other suggestions?

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

      C looks good.

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanch to Haz

  7. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Should I keep faith in Alli? Will he end this recent drought?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on how many you have playing? If free transfer going then might be time to get rid

  8. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Replacement for stanislas?

    McAuley has been a real fecker this season. Fair play to owners.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I had Brunt and McAuley starting then I benched McAuley for Zaha, so frustrating.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      And big thanks to mark

        grow up

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      what about an owner who played Brunt instead of McAuley?

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

      I sold Macauley. Don't regret it.

  10. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Those McAuley points look even better knowing how he got the goal.

  11. Zlat-man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez > Mane or Siggy?

    Siggy has one more game than Mane in next 5 gw.
    But Mane can outscore Siggh even with one less game.

    Thoughts?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mane

  12. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking about Sanchez, Pieters > Hazard, Brunt (-4) this week. Is it wise to accept mistake on Holgate and also switch to Funes Mori for a further (-4)?

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

      I would do it

  13. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How the hell was Mc Auley awarded with the goal? Last time I checked the clips here it was an obvious Evans goal!

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

      I guess it was slowed down and analysed. It must have skimmed mcauleys head as it went in.

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely riddiculous! Where is the evidence?

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't think it was obvious at all to be honest. One of the clips here has a very good replay, looked like both Evans and McAuley made contact. I assume they decided it was Evans who drove it forward and McAuley's head that redirected it.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'll be honest, i have seen the replay and i can't see how they can give it as a mcauley goal

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mcauley owner here

    4. Digital-Real

      can you kindly post the clip here please. The Youtube footage is poor quality.

          Thanks BC. That's just dreadful!! We Brunt owners have been robbed.

            • 10 Years

            Of 3 points? Season changer

      Some people think this is the reason

    6. Toby Lerone

      Shambles that. Do they not realise there is money riding on mini leagues

  14. thorvaldsson
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So...they really aren't going to give me my Brunt assist? There would be no header goal dispute if Brunt didn't slide in that tasty flighted cross. FPL we got beef!

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My freeze frame shows they both made contact at the same time, I'd give Evans the goal and McAauley the assist. Brunt massively unlucky, didnt FPL used to have a rule that 2 assists could be awarded in exceptional circumstances?

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

    If I was running a ml. I'd literally take off the mcauley points from anyone who had him this gw. I'm that petty

  16. willgriggsonfire
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all!
    Had pretty average last few GWs.
    This GW it was.
    Grant
    Alonso Brunt Baines
    San(c)hez Eriksen Philips Snodgrass Stanislas
    Kane Lukaku
    Heaton McAuley Gray Jones

    I always wanted one Spurs attacker but switched Hazard to Eriksen.
    Again, just want one of them two in the team. Eriksen does not look good, but without Rose, Vertonghen, Spurs just not the same.
    Don't want to ditch both as they have really good upcoming fixtures.
    Any suggestions kindly appreciated guys.

  17. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cedric, Sanchez, Ibra, Phillips, Lallana.

    2 ft. What's the priority?

    Sanchez would free up so much cash, but thinking Cedric and Lala have to go.

    But then Phillips is offering nothing.

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

      I'd keep Cedric and Lallana for now. Only transfer Ibra.

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

        I meant Philips instead of Lallana.

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

      Morrison to Phillips frees up 1m.

  18. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2FTs
    Just do Ibra to Costa for next week, then have 2FTs for after the BGW???

    Pickford Grant
    Coleman Pieters Holebas Amat McAuley
    Alli Sanchez Eriksen Phillips Capoue
    Ibra Benteke Lukaku

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would prefer Sanchez to hazard? Keep ibra for Bournemouth. Any cash to upgrade Amat? Will need to do that at some point

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thought you might have mcauley 😉

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

      Sanchez > Hazard
      Pieters/Holebas/Amat > Brunt or Funes/Baines?
      Ibra could be a gold pick GW27. Arsenal will likely be burnt by Liverpool...

  19. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mane looking like a classic jerk, pretty dire fixtures coming up and having been a happy owner in the past, he's going to share his points with the samba twins...

  20. McQueen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wow, 10 players played. 9 players together had 8 less points than my C.

    Lucky C points today also.

  21. Sarnab
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    FPL robbed us. Shameful. Disgrace.

    10 point swing will see me losing my cash ML. So Casual.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They wouldn't pick Mc for the sake of it, it does look like it comes off the top of his head

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

      You can't make up ten points ? Don't deserve to win 🙂

      1. Sarnab
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        At the end when I lose by 10 points this will hit me.

        Point 'swing' I said.

  22. Stimps

    I can't believe they awarded McAuley with the goal, absolute joke FPL

    Sanchez -> Haz now or wait till tomorrow? Bought him for 11.8 so fairly aware of price drops

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

      Or Mane?

    2. Lovejoy

    Heaton

    Alonso - Baines - Nyom - Anyone
    Hazard - Sigurdsson - Antonio - Phillips - 7.3 M ?
    Lukaku - Kane

    Should I get a midfielder or a defender for next week as I am benching ibra. De roon, amat, pieters also on my bench.

      If you have just him from Spurs' attack, then keep.

      Lukaku does that all the time, claiming he touched the ball when he's nowhere near it, should all Everton goals be written to Lukaku just because of celebrations?

    Brought Sanchez at 11m
    Can sell for 11.4m
    He's worth 11.8m
    Will he drop to 11.4-11.5m?

    Or should I just bench

      Kind of banking on him dropping 0.3 by the time GW26 rolls around, so a biased yes.

    Is Sanchez + Eriksen --> Hazard + Mané (-4) a good move?
