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.

    Hazard + Rooney > KDB + Firmino?

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      100% yes.

      1. Fpldonny
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yes but with Silva or Sterling

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Already own Sterling

  5. Rash
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Amazing how much my interest in the game fizzled out once salah left the field

  6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho benched at the weekend after 90 mins today? Mané starting instead alongside Firmino/Salah?

    1. willl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      More like moved back into midfield and Ox benched imo.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        His hamstring will snap like a piece of string if he plays again so soon

      2. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ox is locked in. No benching him now. Has been excellent these last few games.

        1. willl
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          So has Coutinho...

  7. XabiAlonso
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kane to firmino hokee cokee switcharoo sound like a plan?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        My strike force is Kane gray and ayew. Kind of got no strikers next week

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

      I’m considering it.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Bad idea confirmed.

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

          Ouch. Where did that come from 😀

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I would have said that to anyone, don't worry. 😀

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

          Harsh 🙂

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely - Firmino is legendary

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

      Leave Kane alone. Such pointless 1 week move

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

        For me it would be like this:

        Kane > Firmino

        And then

        Morata > Kane + Richarlison > Son

        No hits. Would only lose 0.1 for Kane as well.

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

          Dumb. I'll just bench Kane and wait a week

    6. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  8. Lone Wolf FPL

    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Rich>Lingard -4 paid off. Lucky sub appearance

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      How many points did Lingard get? Rich got 5 plus the hit so you started at -9. Plus Rich has Swans next

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

        Couple of goals and bonus

  10. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Which one for DGW.
    Lloris, Son/Eriksen and Kane
    Son, Eriksen and Kane.

  11. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years

    They should just relegate Swansea now

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Not yet...Kane and the gang are going to be let loose against them soon.
