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.

    Sanchez > Mane or Hazard?

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

      Wait for the FA Cup results.

      If Burnley get knocked out, get Mane.
      If Chelsea get knocked out, consider Hazard.

        Good shout. I can live with the price rise/decreases.

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

      Haz

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hazard. Mane may blank week 26 also if Leicester draw with Millwall

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Where is this idea coming from? Replays will be in the midweek after gw26

      Sanchez is essential

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I know Sanchez blanks but I'm keeping. He's just too good and would struggle to get him back in.

        He could get a decent return v Liverpool also.

        I'm binning Ibra has he doesn't return enough for me to justify his price. He plays deeper now too lessening his appeal somewhat when there are much cheaper options returning decent hauls.

        Some prob won't agree with me but having a midfielder playing as a striker in Sanchez who can potentially explode at any time is priceless.

        I'll just have to stomach any price falls Sanchez gets but oh well he's worth it

  2. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Well that all went a bit flat after a good start. Roll on tomorrow.

  3. OneDennisBergkamp

    Its a total disgrace if McAuley is given that goal. the 5 above me in my very tight mini league have him and I have Brunt. Its practically ruined the game for me. Could take it if it wasn't so blatant!

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

      I concur.

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

      Why is it a disgrace that the player that got the last touch is awarded the goal.

      Sky, BBC, Opta have all credited McAuley

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can you convincingly say having watched the footage that McAuley got a touch? There's a stronger argument that Evans was the last person to touch the ball.

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

          Doesn't matter what I think, all the official sources obviously seen something to suggest it was his

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

            They would have a lot more camera angles to watch it from

          2. JoeJitzu +42
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I can't for the life of me see the touch! Hope they super slo-mo it!

          3. Digital-Real
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            People are voicing their frustrations having watched the footage. I know we can't reverse the decision, despite it being a farcical decision by Opta to award McAuley the goal.

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

        BBC did say Evans, they changed it.
        (I have McAuley)

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

        I see you have mcauley coming off your bench. Wonder if you would be here saying this had you not?

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

          Haha, if Sky, BBC & Opta feel the need to go and change it, there's obviously something in it

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

            It's a very odd decision. If I had owned mcauley I'd be smug as hell. But I don't so I hate it and I feel robbed. regardless i think all the folks at FPL and Prem central should all face firing squad

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

              When I first seen I thought it was 100% an Evans goal.

              All I'm saying is there must be an angle that makes it clear cut. Maybe match of the day might shed some light

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

                or maybe you're just talking s*** because it benefits you

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

      just take it and move on, season has 13 more games left

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

        This. Although, I played Brunt over him. Hope Stanislas doesn't play on Monday...

        1. niko mate
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Are you in top 10? I just saw one guy in top 10 that played Brunt and benched McAley, and also have Stanislas.

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

        easy to say if it hasn't affected the work you have put in the past 25 weeks

  4. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT's for the next GW worth doing Ibra & Sanchez > Kane & Mane albeit just for one game or just Ibra > Kane?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra Costa

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not sounding snobby here but I I already own Costa & Hazard too just for the record.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane has been so awful the last 3 games, would not consider him at all, Costa seems to be the obvious replacement. I would bench Sanchez and carry 1 FT over but your call, Mane looks a good buy.

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already own Costa so wouldn't need to replace him but Spurs have Stoke at home next surely due a goal there? I might bench Sanchez too only one blank fixture at the moment with the potential for two.

  5. 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

    Don't want to ditch both Eriksen and Kane as they have really good upcoming fixtures.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

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

      Should I consider getting in Sigurdsson?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. Swansea could well be that team that goes on one of them miracle runs away from the drop zone and Siggy is integral in their plans.

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

    56 with siggy and Hazard to go.
    Thank God for Sanchez.

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years

      Nice!

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

      Good score.

  7. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Surely we shouldn't transfer until up gains as will want to keep players from teams who suffer shock cup defeat ? Eg Spurs reserves lose to Fulham

    1. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      'Until after'

      1. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
        • 13 Years

        'Until after games' !

      2. willgriggsonfire

        Looks unlikely...

  8. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance Jesus doesn't play? Got Sanch with the VC armband. 😎

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

      NO chance. Lol

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

      Wouldn't be surprised to see Kun start, it is Pep after all.

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

      Yeah, cue Kun hattrick!

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Should get a cameo at the very least.-

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Potential to get more

    6. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think he will get minutes even he started on the bench. 🙂

    7. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ah, well. Yeah. I think we all feel he'll have some role greater than riding the pine. A hat trick could happen, so I'll keep hope alive!

  9. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years

    Can't wait for a surprising knock out of one the bigger pl teams in the FA cup to upset early sellers this week

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

      Spurs the only team I see with a chance of going out so I dont agree 😛

      1. Dr Dream

    how many % of fpl managers captained Sanchez?

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

      Overall - live teams Sanchez 24.5% Zlatan 20% Costa 13% Lukaku 8% Jesus 8% Hazard 6% Kane 6%

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years

      25% of active teams

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

        what do u mean by active/live teams?

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

          Teams that are still actually playing ie making transfers

  12. Ballistics

    Liverpool almost back to their strongest 11 is it time to throw a player into my team and forget about him?

  13. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Took a -4 to get Alonso back in for this GW after stupidly dropping weeks ago. Don't ask. Turns out he replaced Yoshida (cleanie) and I had Chambers (cleanie) on the bench. So, guess I got a little deserved comeuppance for taking a hit for a defender.

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bringing Lukaku in was the other part of that move. Yep. That's how awesome I am at this game right now. 🙄

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not your best move amigo

      Alonso Hatty tomorrow

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Will gladly take that! What about Pedro? All 3 assists? (yes, I have Pedro. I know. Silliness, but maybe he'll give me a parting gift this GW)

  14. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years

    After 4 weeks red arrow.Got Lucky with Sanchez(c) and McAuley goal.63 with Siggy Alonso Costa to go.Can i hope for green?

    1. Epic Fail

      You can hope for anything you want.

      Sky's the limit.

    2. George James

      You know it will be green buddy

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years

      You certainly did get lucky. About 20 of them shouldn't have counted but nice score..I'd be taking them too

    4. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah.Been awful last 4 week.

  15. Mookty
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who should we sell Ibrahimovic for tonight to play alongside Lukaku given the blank GW26 and most likely blank GW28?

    1. Kane
    2. Costa
    3. Defoe
    4. Carroll
    5. Llorente
    6. Rondon
    7. Hold for now

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights

      I'd just wait

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This

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

        I bet that guy who kept going on about captaining gabbiadini in the fpl chat is looking forward to your next stream

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

      Definitely wait

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The best options have games to play.

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

      Oooh! Look at your all. Consensus! Great. I'll sleep easy for now. Saying that I sold Sanchez today cos I'm betting on a tricky Liverpool fixture and blank GW28. Fingers crossed that one pays out!

  16. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So deflated with my score today 39 (-4)

    Need a big show from Alonso, siggy and Costa, also do we think Francis will play?

    🙁

  18. Rainer

    Who's been more accurate this season on price changes, FFF or FPLStats? Time to focus it.

    1. Espen8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both sh*t

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      FFF lately

      1. Rainer

  19. Espen8
    • 9 Years

    Eriksen going down tonight, but Im definitely keeping him.

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

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

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

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A for now

  21. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Given the ownership of McAuley and my rival also has him, should I get him instead of Brunt to neutralise the damage ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ignore what players other people have.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So, are you suggesting Brunt ?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd prefer Brunt, but not based on other people or ownership.

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks. I was set to bring him this week until I have seen he got nothing for 3 weeks in a row.

    2. Smarty Pants
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yeah, the man is going for the golden boot

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is Mark your rival?

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        His rival seem to be increasing today. 🙂

  22. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rondon will be in GW26 Scout Picks

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Lukaku guaranteed. Rondon not so much.

    A) Chances of hazard rise / Sanchez fall tonight?

    B) which budget defender to exchange for stones?

    C) Phillips out for Morrison so I can afford alonso?

    Still a little annoyed I missed the deadline to swap Kun + Amat >> Kane and Coleman -4

      Why to keep it late ?

      It might turn good if Kun started and scored a few on MNF though.

        Left it till this morning because Kane dropped last night.

        Then didn't realise match was 12.30 am.

        Can't see him starting though.

      He's falling tonight too, I'm gna ship him out for Markovic. Ballsy!

      I was close to playing Allen over Philips. Sigh.

      He has singlehandedly ruined my season and now he has those fixtures everyone has been holding him for. Yay!
