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.

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years

      Yep, definitely save.

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      yes

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years

        Cheers

    For the first time ever, I have two transfers and have no idea what to do. The blank is really causing issues... I would love to bring in Alonso but that would require two transfers and I want two FTs for next week's DGW moves. Contemplating something stupid like Richarlison > Lingard or downgrading DDG. Any ideas?

    1.0 ITB

    DDG
    Otamendi Kenny Christensen Mee
    Salah Sterling Haz Richarlison
    Firmino DCL

    RLC Kane Masuaku

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Same. Feeling a bit snookered, as stuff that makes sense (spurs/arnie) means no bench for gw21

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, "snookered" is a very good way of putting it. Can't see a shot to play.

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I didn't think it through properly (have Kane/Masuaku like you).

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I saw the problem with RLC having a tough fixture but feel he is a good long term option.

            1. MTPockets
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Thinking KDB/RLC to Silva/Arnie atm. Risk of no bench but otherwise have to waste transfer on Naughton to another cheapie.

    2. C_G
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      save

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I have two already...

        1. C_G
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          well you'll have 3 prior to the DGW then

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Not sure if serious...

    3. Taff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      You could afford Arnie for Rich in preparation for the double and then play RLC to cover the blank

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, I have been considering it, but a) I could easily see Richarlison outscoring RLC by 4 points b) shows my hand to ML opponents a week early.

        1. Taff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Both fair points but that’s the only way I can see you not losing a free transfer and preparing for the double. Arnie’s also now a keeper with change in formation to make him the fulcrum.

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            It does sound like a cunning plan my lord...

            1. Taff
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Why thank you. As cunning as tears in rain Roy?

              1. Art Vandelay
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                Indeed, or tears without Kane.

                1. Taff
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 17 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  Ha! Not sure that made the director’s cut…

                  1. Art Vandelay
                    • 15 Years
                    8 years, 6 months ago

                    There are an awful lot of cuts of Blade Runner and I have seen them all, but I can confirm none reference the Spurs man. However, interestingly, Roy Batty was named after the combative Leeds midfielder David Batty

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Ddg > pickford maybe?

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Looked at that too (I think I have looked at every move) but don't really fancy doubling on Everton defence with their fixture getting trickier. Maybe DDG > Courtois?

    5. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Similar position.

      Elliot to Adrian (with a view to downgrade DDG after the DGW)?

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        That is an interesting thought. I have Myhill as my second keeper so could just to cheeky upgrade. Not sure about doubling up on West Ham defence though, DGW or not.

  3. C_G
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Elliot Pope

    Mee Azpi Masuaku Jones Kenny

    Haz Richarlison Salah Sterling Surman

    Kane Firmino RLC

    Thinking I'll save my next 2 FTs, then do Haz & Richarlison----> Alli & Son for DGW

    Thoughts?

  4. Claudio555

    Best three WHU-players for dgw?

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't have three. To be honest, if I didn't already have a defender I wouldn't bother. Arnie looks the best option.

      1. Midlands Saint73

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years

        It's a prediction.

  6. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    66 after bonus with RLC and Sterling to go. Solid.

    1. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      91 with RLC Speroni Otamendi and Sterling- not too shabby...

        Sweet jesus

  7. raoulduke71

    Worth ditching Kane for 1 week? my only other striker is DCL?!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much need an instant result or you waste 2 FTs.

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      oh common give it a rest

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        transfers are valueble

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

      Depends on if you lose his price Rise

    4. klavan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      keep him...he will rise in price

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

      Sell him, he is too expensive. Think how much better your team overall could be by reinvesting those funds

  8. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 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!

      Slim pickings. Lingard I guess, but could eventually get benched again
