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.

        Precisely. He's a top player in good form with good fixtures

      Too much emphasis on fixtures over form.

      Coutinho and King are better to have then some of these double gameweekers.

      King

    DGW is a scam

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      It's a conspiracy cunningly devised by FPL sponsors. Completely ridiculous. A bit like porridge.

  22. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Was just playing around how to get Couthino in fo GW38 when he scored the brace 🙂 Now, do I ship Hazard or Eriksen for him?

    Despite this avalanche of points for certain players the average today is stupidly low.

    10K avg 2.1 pts
    Overall 6.8 pts

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

      Because nobody owns these crappy SGW players

  26. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years

  29. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    In second in one of my cash mini leagues, he was 125 pts ahead 3 weeks ago, managed to close the gap to 50 yesterday and with a better overall squad for next 2, who's his main diff?...Coutinho!!...over the moon.

  30. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Coutinho > Hazard for a hit paid off big time!
