A breathless day ends at Anfield, with Fantasy managers doubtless expecting another glut of goals and points as a rampant Liverpool take on bottom club Swansea City.

The scene is set for Mohamed Salah to bookend Harry Kane’s 17-point haul that started proceedings in the early kick-off. The Egyptian has fallen behind the Spurs striker in the Golden Boot race but boasts an incredible 11 goals and three assists from his previous 11 Gameweek outings. Like Kane, he’s backed by 1.1 million captaincies.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino picked up over 244,000 new owners ahead of this evening’s clash, having produced double figures in successive matches and three times over his previous five Gameweeks.

Jurgen Klopp’s rotation policy is eased as Firmino starts with Philippe Coutinho in what appears to be a front three for Liverpool. Sadio Mane is again the fall-guy as he drops to the bench. The changes are mainly limited to the defence, as Joel Matip returns from injury to oust Dejan Lovren, while Trent Alexander-Arnold starts at right-back for Joe Gomez. Both drop to the bench.

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

    Lads,

    In addition to Kane, would you also get in Alli or Eriksen for the DGW?

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      who wouldn't

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sorely tempted. Probably Eriksen of the two

        Cheers

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Alli a good differential

        Cheers

    4. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season rc…
      • 16 Years

      Son seems better value

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure he'll play both DGW games..

    5. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't. Not worth the extra over city mids

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I'd lose Hazard and have Sane and Sterling 😉

      2. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure he'll play both DGW games..

    6. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son for me I think

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure he'll play both DGW games though with Lamela also back?

    7. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Haz -> either of Alli or Eriksen

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, same, but which one though..

  2. Scholsey
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Firminho or Alonso who is going to score more points till the end of the season?

    1. Jar Jar Winks
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      alonso

  3. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    So was on a plane and landed to hear Kane scored a hattrick who I sold last week. Luckily I brought in firmino+alonso so the damage is minimal

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I have Kane C back to back and Alonso. You're missing out

  4. Jeremy Corbyn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Scout picks were pretty great this week, >100 points at least

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Assuming Kane (c) yeah

  5. banskt
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Too many points all around. Even 60 points will be good for a red arrow. Wish I had anyone other than Hazard.

  6. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    christensen, richa, depoitre > holgate, lingard, firmino -4? exact funds.

    Crazy?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      High Risk. Christensen was ill.

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    That Morata suspension made me get Firmino prior to GW19 and I used the extra funds to get Alonso in this week 😀

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nice. Might do Alonso in for Jones 🙂 already got DDG

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If I had Firm over Morata around that period, I would have had enough funds to get Sterling without needing to to Kane > Aguero

      I'm not even going to begin to work out the loss so far. A lot depends on tomorrow's city game of course.

  8. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    If Coutinho plays full 90mins, reckon he'll be rested next game?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He is gonna play full 90.

      Hard to know

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hope they're not selling him and getting the last drop of effort out of him. League needs his quality.

  9. PL Ball
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Some help please!

    1) Must play WC before GW 21 deadline, Correct?

    2) When playing WC.. you do transfers as normal first through out the week (for risers, fallers etc) and then hit WC at the end?

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, No just hit it at the start in case you forget.

    2. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      DDG
      Azpi Christensen Kenny Schindler
      Salah Sterling Coutinho Richa
      Morata DCL

      Speroni RLC (Kane Ogbonna)

      2 FTs 0.1 ITB

      Kane to Firmino this week and then next gw Morata to Kane and Richarlison to Son for the double? No hits.

      Make sense?

    3. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sell Morata for Firmino?
      Or Haz for City/Pool mid?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        "Your comment has been marked for review. It'll be published shortly."

        The clean version:

        Morata > Firm, give NICE MAN Hazard one last NICE chance.

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Can we assume Salah, Firmino & Robertson all start vs. Leicster after being benched early?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully

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

        We can.

      3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Probs, but no guarantees

      4. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        No

    5. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Only have 10 starters:

      A) Mariappa -> Kenny
      B) Mariappa + Austin -> Otamendi + Quarner (-4)
      C) Hazard + Austin -> Lingard + Firmino (-4)

    6. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Any Liverpool fans to shed light on Klavan/Lovren/Matip moving forward?

      1. GAMBIT
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        It will be Matip and Van Dijk 😉

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yes but until they get VanD? Klavan or Lovren?

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Liverpool 2 CS in 10 away games. Don't bother

    14. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Having my hand forced on Morata > Firmino was excellent timing.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Same 🙂

        1. Optic1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Spending the spare cash on RLC > Pogba is yet to pay off mind!

      2. Clifford☯
        • 9 Years

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        1. Optic1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I'm thinking on Hazard > KDB and Richarlison > Arnautovic for free once the double rolls round.

    15. HALFSPACE
      • 8 Years

      lukaku to firmino for free or keep for SOU (H)

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hmmm... Why dont people wait for the gw to end before they make transfers. Now they Maby force ME to do early transfers.
