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 + RLC to Son + Arnautovic for the DGW

      No brainer?

        1. Tcheco
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Correct, after this week obviously

      3. NATSTER

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I'm keeping, looking to get Smalling out.

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Keep

      3. Taking the Mkhitaryan

        Nothing

      4. Carpe Diem

        Keep for the CS on Saturday.

      5. NATSTER
        • 15 Years

        That sounds pretty confident. Hope he will recover in time.

    9. Foozeball
      • 9 Years

      Transferring in Jones might've been a big mistake 🙁
      I hope they can turn it around and get a clean sheet against Southampton

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

        Took out Kola, got Small in for Lei game then took him out for Christensen. Feel so sick

    10. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Do you think Lingard play 30th Dec AND 1st Jan?

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

        no

    11. Flush_Fraser
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Woohoo, 103 points today (though did use my TC chip on Kane). Should also get max BP's for him, Pickford and Arnautovic as well as a token something for Alonso and Mahrez.

      I'm not gloating, I just need to tell someone and the only alternatives are the girlfriend or the cat.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        That's a good TC result. Well played

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Monster score. Well done.

      3. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years

        2 million OR tho

          Don't matter at a night like this.

          Well played sir. Would have called you crazy for going TC Kane before but genius.....

        2. J T
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Mate shut up.

          Congratulations mate

        3. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years

          Hahaha, let the guy have his time to shine

      4. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Well played. Many usually wait for dgw which can often fail.

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

        My girlfriend is sick of hearing about Fantasy Football. 96 points today (including bonus points to come) with Sterling to go for me. Delighted.. not gloating, just getting it out there. Trip captain saved for Kane’s DGW.

      6. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Well done mate. Big greenie.

      7. gunner 2727
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Awesome!!! Well played

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

        Thanks all! Figured with the goal record in sight the whole team would be busting a gut to get Kane his goal(s) so was worth the TC punt! An Otamendi goal tomorrow would be the cherry on top 🙂

    12. Sancidino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino to get all 3 bonus? Or do you think Cout's winning goal will edge it?

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

        It's final.

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

        Looks confirmed now. Firm 3. Cout & TAA 2.

      3. BbBb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yes

      4. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 14 Years

        Firms easily

      5. Flush_Fraser
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I would imagine Firm is nailed. Certainly top of the BP rankings for that game as it stands. Personally a bit miffed Azpi is getting all 3 and Alonso just 2 seeing how he got a goal.

    13. Ode
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Best Abraham replacement for 5.9m below? Wilson?

      1. Mackans
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        DCL

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

      What is everyone thinking bringing in Kane?! They're messing up with my plan to sell and buy back after I specifically saved 2 FTs!

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Just keep.

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

          Will be a good chance to bring in Firmino though. My 2 up top are Kane and Jesus, so I want to play Jesus and Firmino this week, then sell Jesus for Kane next.

          1. Ambrosiana Inter
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Will I still have enough money though?

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

              Yeah easily, Kane and Firmino are cheaper than Kane and Jesus. Just annoying to have to buy him back more expensive.

      2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I'm holding kane now. Changed my mind.

    15. Sid07

      Morata to firmino or stick
      Have haz

      1. Ha.

      2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Get rid of Haz... get cheaper to save $... maybe keep Mor and Firm

        1. Sid07
          • 11 Years

          Haz to

      Pope Speroni
      Otamendi Christensen Kabasele Mee Dunk
      Salah Hazard Sterling Richarlison RLC
      Kane Morata Quaner

      2 FT
      A) Kabasele > Kenny
      B) Morata > Firmino

      Then use 2 ft next week for Hazard > Spurs mid and then a small upgrade

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Would you not prep for DGW?

        Bring in WHU and Spurs players for the bench.

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

      Surely TAA should play against Leicester after that performance.

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

        Need more defence vs Leicester.

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years

        Once the magic bean is planted, it begins to grow

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

        More defensive Gomez probably gets the nod to deal with Vahrez & Gray.

      4. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Should I play him just in case? 😉

      5. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Nope... he is a teenager... Klopp will keep rotating... it is Klopp

      6. BbBb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Hope not, I'm relying on Gomez to start with 3 blank players

    18. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A) Otamendi
      B) RLC + 3 pts

      My cup game, I'm A.

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

        A

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

        hmm, close. Think B is more likely

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

          I've got
          Ota+KDB+Sterling+ 2 points
          vs his
          Silva+Walker
          Should be alright, but you never know

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

            You're cruising

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        B unfortunately. City will concede.

    19. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Priority number 1 is to ditch that trailer load of turds that is Hazard.

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

        Wait a gw dude

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years

      4. J T

        He’s class, haul coming

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

      Surely Kane can't rise with no game in gw21, surely not

      1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Only he could.

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

        he will rise... 40 k casuals already bought him

      3. BbBb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ofc he will

    21. Taff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Any Everton fans out there, how secure is Holgate? Very tempted at that price.

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

        Short term only, not sure if he plays when Baines Coleman and Jags are healthy

        1. Taff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          That’s helpful. Thanks

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

      (Elliot, Mee, Mariappa, Kane)

      B) Hazard -> Coutinho (-4 next GW)

      68 pts with Ota & Sterling to go.
      Defensive nightmare Zanka, DDG & Ogbonna(off bench for Christensen)

    25. LIARS POKER
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Just did De Gea -> Pickford before Pickford price rise

      Stupid or decent long term move? Had 2ft so will still have 2ft going into the dgw and extra £1m allows me to upgrade one of my defenders to Alonso

      United been conceding too many chances for my liking, team is a shambles

      Pope to Pickford turned out to be a great move. +8 points immediate gain!
