Liverpool’s top four ambitions come under scrutiny in Sunday’s next encounter, as Jurgen Klopp’s charges make their way to the London Stadium to face a buoyant West Ham United.

Boosted by last Friday’s 1-0 victory over London rivals Spurs, Slaven Bilic’s side will provide a stern test of Liverpool’s credentials; the Hammers have kept three successive clean sheets heading into this match.

The Reds will surely look to Philippe Coutinho for inspiration.

The Brazilian is comfortably the top owned asset on show in this afternoon kick-off, with the midfielder still part of 18.8% of squads.

He has suffered from significant recent sales, however: more than 221,000 managers have moved Coutinho out of their squads over the previous two Gameweeks. A modest 14-point return over his last four Gameweeks, featuring just a single goal, proved damaging.

Coutinho’s profit from this match is likely to have the main impact on our Gameweeks, then, with only minor interest elsewhere.

Roberto Firmino – part of 10.5% of squads – misses out, while Daniel Sturridge earns a rare start, his first since Gameweek 20.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    West Ham in meltdown. Someone's pulled the fire alarm.

    Get Sturridge off FFS

    There has got to be a Coutinho triple capper somewhere.

    Sold Coutinho for a hit on friday. Too much emphasis on double gameweek players.

        Not really. Don't play fantasy for OR. Have already won my money mini league. Don't care about overall ranking.

  6. Differentiator

    A couple more shots of target and Coutinho will be falling down the baps order

    Sold Coutinho for Ramsey. Maverick move backfired big time.

      Oh Lord.

      1. Dreams

        It's okay. I'm happy Liverpool are winning. Hope they do against Boro also.

      There's maverick and there's...

        Stupidity. I know.

    3. Arctic monkeys

      Ramsey could still brace midweek, don't loose hope

      1. Dreams

        Hope so.

  8. AA33

      Ditched Coutinho on WC 🙁

      Guess I am not the only one here.

      Sunday may be Hebknut's lucky day. Triple Spurs and captain coming up.

      grrrr

    • sunzip14

      If Liverpool get a Pen, Coutinho to take right? 😛

    • Ziro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      West Ham deserve to be in the league less than Hull.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Agree. Their players' attitude sucks. People like Kouyate, Ayew, Lanzini etc - don't show enough fight for the whole season IMO.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Agree, rare flashes of desire but mostly just a bunch of overhyped sods.

          Good enough for their knacker fans though.

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Stoke and Palace are the same IMO. Shaqiri, Arnie, Townsend, Zaha. Lots of players who believe they are great and should play for Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea etc, but really are not that good.

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'd personally miss the 6 points a season were they to be relegated.

      3. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        They are so joyless, perfect fit for that mausoleum.

    • MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Any chance of another 4-0? 30 points to catch with Sanchez Kane x2 Eriksen x2 v Jesus Pedro Sane the main battle

    • barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Will Walker play his last game for Spurs on Thursday?

      1. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Not for my team at least. 😉

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I think he won't be involved in the last match at Hull (#statement).

    • Weasel51
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Any saints fans tell me how likely Gabbi is to play next game?

    • Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Hammers have been dire. Pool haven't looked like they're even playing 50% of what they're capable of but really could be 8/9-0 up.

    • EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Arsenal's most realistic hope of getting top 4 is for City to lose away at watford. Arsenal need to get their GD up. Hopefully this will mean Sanchez plays through the pain against Sunderland

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Arsenal just need to win the last 2 matches and pray someone does them a favour.

      2. acidicleo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        city are 3 points and 5 goals ahead...
        so their best hope is pools dropping points vs boro..

    • Reed_Rothchild
      • 16 Years

      Have one free transfer next week I will use for Hazard to Countinho and will captain Coutinho.

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

      Gabbiadini+Sane to Sturridge+T.Caroll? (-4)

      Will have a front 7 of

      Sanchez,Hazard,Coutinho,King
      Kane,Jesus,Sturridge

      for gw38

    • Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Well upset with Sturr and coutinho I wanted them to be under the radar for my transfers next week. Looks like my rival will do the same moves.

      Thinking

      Sane Costa Out
      Coutinho Sturr in for free
      I have the correct money for both transfer then possibly a minus 4 do Monreal to John Terry

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Sturridge will still be now

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sturridge off

      Fail

    • Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Are you serious???! Ville Ronka, god amongst FPL men, captained Coutinho over Sanchez....

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        No he didn't

      2. MTPockets
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Don't think he did.

        • Sims
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Troll

        • Pompel
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          no kidding 😮 ?

        • barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          He captained Lukaku 😀

        • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Of course he didn't

        • vectorman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          He might not make the top 10k for the first time ever?. Well maybe

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

        Lucas coming on, not over yet.

        Sturridge OFF

      4. KUNingas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        How is this looking for GW38?

        Caballero
        Alonso, Ake
        Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Sane, King
        Kane, Jesus, Llorente

        1. Reed_Rothchild
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Has for Cout

          1. KUNingas
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Could do that

        2. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Ake won't play - I don't think so.

          1. KUNingas
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            I think he could play

      5. Ben the Mee
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Today we have a little lesson of quality over quantity. But tbf, Pool have hardly been quality the last few gameweeks.

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            It'll be the same again next year.

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

            Nah, I could see the case for going without Coutinho even without the DGW.

            1. Gudjohnsen
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              I agree with NIEMI, hindsight is alway easy but I had kept faith with Coutinho for 4 points in two gameweeks and decided to go with a double gameweel player. I also though West Ham would be diffiuclt ala Spurs game 9 days ago.

        • Cak Juris
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Gabbiandini to who?
          A. Origi
          B. Lllorente
          C. Vokes
          D. Austin

          1. Dreams
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            C

          2. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Tough, Definitely not C or D imo... Don't really like any of those options, but B if forced

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

          Do we reckon Haz will play the last game of the season?

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            You just said you're transferring him out. Why not just wait and see what happens Monday night. You're not gonna be priced outta Haz to Cout

          2. Stinglikeabee
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Unlikely. I'm getting rid as I don't need to hassle. Coutinho or Sanchez coming in

          3. Laurel and Vardy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Probably won't start so just do the knee-jerk move Haz->Cout 🙂

            1. Stinglikeabee
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Ha ha

        • Stinglikeabee
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I want Coutinho back.
