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After being withdrawn before the hour-mark in each of the last two league fixtures, the McAuley exodus was well underway last week, with over 44,000 FPL managers drafting out the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

    you know what, if alonso is out for a significant amount of time, i could make so many things work for the dgws

    finanacially a FPL blessing might just double up on spurs

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      exactly, good news

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

      Was always worried of selling, this would help.

      I might actually have a use for the AOA chip

      If he's out only a couple of weeks, it's a mess really. You may be tempted to get Zouma in only for Alonso to come back during the DGWs.

      I shipped on Thursday, the money is so plentiful.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I don't understand why you benched him in the first place, bit of a ridiculous decision

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He will be in team next week

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Phew

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

    5. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

  9. MTPockets
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Unbelievable. McAuley 3rd time in.

      1. QueefParkRangers
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Always something

    • Blu82
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Wait, didnt Zouma get his season long injury in the same fixture?

    • Cojiro
      • 11 Years

    • QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      What's the chances of Valencia playing both DGW games? 50%?

    • Arteta
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      **** jammy autosubs!

    • EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years

      Will Chelsea switch formation ?

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Same formation. Azpi will move to wing back with Zouma slotting into the back 3 beside Dave and Cahill

    • Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      OFFICIAL: Marcos Alonso is out of the game vs. Man Utd after picking up an injury warming up.

      Kurt Zouma replaces him in the starting XI.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Just in case nobody knew

    • The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alonso can just f*** off .
      Started him ahead of Maguire

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Templates are breaking apart.

    • Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Need another Chelsea defender in stubb his toe then Ake will become an option

    • Thiga
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Jammy holebas off the bench 😉

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

    • ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Half points for autosubs petition needed.

      1. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Mark wouldn't allow it

      2. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Why?

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

        Half of zero is? That's all I ever get.

      4. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I once said on here that I was in favour of that idea, but everyone came up with 'squad depth' as an excuse.

      5. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Na
        Its part of the game you need a bench especially at this part of the season

      6. Konig Luther
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        nope

    • Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Come on Valencia. I would take a 0-0 or a goal. Anything really!

    • Coen bros.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bailly instead of Alonso, so i need Uniteds' cleanheet ;D

    • Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alonso is lining up to start

      If he can make to the first turn then he should be ok

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Gearbox trouble in the formation lap.

    • Moose™
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Siggy Ibra --> Hazard Benteke

      Do it?

    • Trae44
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Probably been asked a million times but how many DGW players are everyone looking to have this week? 🙂

    • Scratch
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      2 Mawson points in for Alonso. Whoopdy doo

    • EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      This super Sunday has effected so much. Will Ibra play Burnley? How long is Alonso out for? Is Foster essential as one of our 3 man forward line?
