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After being withdrawn before the hour-mark in each of the last two league fixtures, the McAuley exodus was well underway last week, with over 44,000 FPL managers drafting out the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

    What is the rationale for Ibrahimovic being on the bench?

    Scenario 1) He's tired. Not sure he can be tired after his recent ban but, why have him on the bench at all?

    Scenario 2) He's being rested for Anderlecht. If he's being rested, why have him on the bench at all?

    Scenario 3) He's going to come on for 15 minutes at the end with United losing 2-0 and won't change the game as Fellaini's mop gets in the way so, why have him on the bench at all?

      Rested for EL but on bench because of his quality if needed.

      The manager pretty clearly criticized the attackers, so I think he is trying to shake things up. Not happy about it, but I understand the desire to send a message.

    4. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Reading between the lines, are you suggesting he shouldn't be on the bench at all?

  7. tm245

    Looks like I have found my dgw37 GK.

      It's tempting, good chance of baps as well with any clean sheets

    Mourinho obviously prioritising EL. If Ibra doesn't play at home to Chelsea after a EL game I can't see him starting at Burnley after one especially with City soon after.

    1. RED PILL

      Soon as Ibra said hes tired was thinking im not bringing him in, now benched i can only see him playing in City game.

    Poor decision of Moreno.

    Can should keep the ball instead of poor attacking pass in the last few minutes.

    If it was 1:1, nobody to blame.

    Shocking Moreno open goal no keeper he put it wide, sums him up perfect. RUBBISH

    Never wanted a 0-0 so bad

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Valencia and Alonso to share 3 baps each = 18

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

        Alonso never gets baps, even when scoring 🙁

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

        THIS!

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

        That would be even better

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why not a hattrick each? 🙂

    So, Brunt and Yoshida with 1 point apiece, King, Siggy and Zaha with 2 apiece, looks like my AOA has worked!

    (I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely happy it's gained me a point because it lost me points last year!)

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gained 1 point 🙂

    2. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      🙂 I used it and ended up with a 343 formation 2 seasons in a row (had a non playing attacker both times)
