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.

    Firmino has more points in the last 3 GWs than Mane has in the last 17

    1. Pocky
      • 16 Years

      Thinking of binning for Crouchie (have Firm & Kane) & upgrade cheapo def to Alonso #kneejerk

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

      Selling.

      Was going to do this week but thought Rooney v WBA would soften Firmino’s poss haul v Swansea.

      How wrong was I...,

        It's little funny now yes 😀 I was not sure about Jay's moves when he made them but huge respect for the man and really like the bold play style

          I displayed a quiet, understated and dignified neutrality.

      • Carpe Diem
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        To be fair Kane had 34 points in the 9 preceding Gameweeks before Burnley. That's poor value for a 4.5m defender let alone a 13m striker. Then he goes and gets the same amount of points in 2 Gameweeks.

      Can't think of a worser transfer i have made in fpl than selling Coutinho for Sane before the arsenal game

      Absolute shocker

      1. Sims

        What about Kane > Lukaku before the Burnley game?

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

          I didn't make that move though

          1. Visionaries
            • 9 Years

            I did..

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Spurs team, Coutinho possibly.

    13. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      1 player in the PL that you think is overrated and gets away with being in a good team

      Otamendi for me, IMO

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

        Sterling

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

          Ah yes, an excellent shout

      2. FantasyNik123
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Otamendi and Alonso (because of his positioning). Cant complain though as I have both lol

      3. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ota

      4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years

        Alonso

      5. ZeBestee

        He has improved a lot this season Ota tbf.

      6. Goalosaurus
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

    14. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Kane captain was good but the rest was a bit disappointing today tbh :/

    15. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      DDG
      Otamendi, Christensen, Kenny
      Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Mahrez, RLC
      Firmino, DCL

      (Elliot, Mee, Mariappa, Kane)

      A) Save FT, Hazard & RLC -> Son & Arnie next week for free
      B) Hazard -> Coutinho (-4 next GW)

      Cheers

      Just logged on again - Salah (C) wasn't a disaster then after the Kane hat-trick, 8 points in it.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years

          Yes, 8 points in it after bonuses.

      2. Sylas
        • 10 Years

        34-18=16

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Wrong - It's 34 + 9 = 43 for Kane (C).
          And 18 + 17 = 35 for Salah (C)

          43-35=8
