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After being withdrawn before the hour-mark in each of the last two league fixtures, the McAuley exodus was well underway last week, with over 44,000 FPL managers drafting out the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

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Llorente to Negredo? Can't afford Benteke. Looks good for the dgw.

      1. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

      2. My Name Is Pepu

        8 years, 11 months ago

        Nothing with Negredo would look good, even with the double gameweek.

    6. Syd.

      My only player in this game gets injured

      3. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

      4. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Calm down, he's going for his pre-game number 2

    11. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      So it makes Ibra a no-go for the DGW?
      I think I'll go with Benteke instead in that case and just keep Lukaku

      Alonso injured deliberately so they can play a more defensive full-back.
