Gameweek 30 begins in a cauldron of a Merseyside derby.
Anfield provides the venue as Liverpool host Everton, providing Fantasy managers with an opening fixture of huge significance.
Romelu Lukaku heads into this contest as the top owned asset in Fantasy Premier League, as part of 47.2% of squads. The Belgian has nine goals in his last six and has scored in each of his last four – irresistible form that will surely stretch a Liverpool defence that has rarely looked assured this season.
But Jurgen Klopp’s charges have their own key Fantasy assets on show.
The Premier League’s top scorers with 61, they were boosted by the recent transfer traffic ahead of Gameweek 28, with the Reds attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho still established as hugely popular figures.
Owned by 17.7% of FPL managers, Coutinho has proved a bitter disappointment of late, with just a single goal from his last 11 Premier League outings. Meanwhile, Firmino has rewarded his 9.9% ownership with just one goal in six. That leaves Mane carrying the major expectations as Liverpool’s top scoring FPL asset – he has produced three goals in his last five Gameweeks and is backed by 23.6% ahead of today’s clash.
