In the first of two Easter Sunday fixtures, we drop by the Hawthorns at 1.30pm as West Bromwich Albion entertain Liverpool.

Unsurprisingly, Jurgen Klopp recalls both Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino after both emerged from the bench to grab a goal apiece in the 2-1 win at Stoke last weekend.

Coutinho’s strike – his third in as many matches – made him the sixth most transferred in player for Gameweek 33, with over 89,000 new owners.

In light of the Brazilian’s recent output, it’s no surprise to learn that the he is the most captained player for today’s early kick-off, with 77,887 FPL managers handing him the armband.

As the only team without a Gameweek 34 fixture, sales of the Baggies main men are likely to escalate over the next few days.

Indeed, both Ben Foster and Gareth McAuley are the top-ranked keeper and defender for transfers out since yesterday, with over 8,000 FPL managers already ditching the latter.

After being withdrawn before the hour-mark in each of the last two league fixtures, the McAuley exodus was well underway last week, with over 44,000 FPL managers drafting out the centre-half ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

    Take Ibra out for Tekkers?

    Mourinho just put out a team with a ready made excuse. And then if they manage to pull off a result, he can be smug about it.

      Good move by Mourinho, attack with speed on the Wings to nullify Chelsea wingbacks

        8 years, 11 months ago

        Really? I do see where he's coming from with the team, but it's extreme to say the least.

        Lingard and Young are crap in 1 v 1 situations

      3. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        The speed of Lingard and young ?

    Glad Ive not bought Ibra for the DGW, Tekkers is the man to buy.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Liverpool and Totenham? He might score v Liverpool but he will struggle v Spurs. Not worth it.

  4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Think I might just do Sterling to Coutinho for free and skip the double game week. There is no value other than Middlesbough defense.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You have Firmino?

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Kaku -> Ibra (C) locked in!

  6. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Hopefully Ibra's NTI slows down now, might get the chance to wait until after EL to make a decision on him

    Jose watched Moneyball on Sky movies last night? Next thing he'll be trading Ibra for Gestede or something.

      Great movie.

      He sorts his lineup by FPL Value.

  8. :
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So, now that Mourinho has decided that he is happy not for his team not to score any goals today, Chelsea to win to nil at around 3/1 is quite an enticing wager.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Rashford will pop up with something IMO

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

  12. Frank Koscielny
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which option is best?

    1. Lukaku > Ibra
    2. Origi > Benteke
    3. Origi + Lukaku + Siggy > Benteke + Ibra + Tadic

    Already have Zaha

    Cheers!

    1. Ginola14

      mou saying he would play a full strength team was always going to be nonsense
