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.

    Anyone else being spammed by pop ups on this site? On my iPhone (amazon prize pop up)

      yeah keep getting 90 with 4 to go any good?

      Not me (on PC).

      Think the site is under an attack of some sort. Maybe Mark and the moderators need to be aware!

        They are - see my post a couple of pages back.

      I am too. I also had a Wordpress hack alert which I posted here two days ago and alerted Jonty to with no response. Pretty poor TBH and quite worrying.

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

        I had the same email from Wordpress too

          I'm no IT expert, but I want to know if it's anything to be worried about. Silence doesn't help anyone.

            Hi RedArrows. I saw your comment yesterday. Can you drop me a line so I get Mat and Ed to take look and come back to you on it.

    Best replacement for Gomez? 5.0 to spend.

    Third week in a row with 80+ points. Finally rising up the rankings.

    Thanks to everyone apart from Hazard and Jones who have been beyond awful the last few weeks.

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

      Hazard has actually been playing unbelievable football. But I know what you mean. Frustratingly bringing in no points for me too. He has one more week for me before switching to Alli/Son/Eriksen.

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah same here - will ditch for a Spurs mid for the double.

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I’ve captained Kane more than any other player (5 times). Not today though...

    1. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      5 times for me too - today was the first time he’s got me more than 4 points as captain.

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

      Ouch! Why didn’t you?

  5. eazy

    What are your opinions on Kane TC on double?

    1. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Good shout on current form. Great fixtures too.

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

      I think it's a good option. TC's are often a risk because the player may get rotated during fixture congestion - unlikely with Kane. Two good fixtures as well.

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

      reckon 90% of the tc remainers will do it if they have him

    4. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      The question is will Kane play those 2 game (within 3 days span if I'm not mistaken)

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yes as they have a blank 21 which means he gets a rest.

        Pouch can then rest him in the cup after the double gameweek too.

        1. Pooodle
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Can’t see they really have an option to rest him.

          1. Pooodle
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            In the league I mean.

          2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Exactly. Sitting in 5th they will want all the points they can get!

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

      yes..

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

    DDG
    Ota Christ Jones
    Haz Salah Sterling Rich
    Kane Firmino DCL

    Jones + Rich to 5.2mil + Arnautovic next week for the double? Yes or No?

  7. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kinda hoping of a Sterling no show eventhough I would be having Carroll off the bench because I need him to start next game. Does that make any sense ?

    1. The Son Haz got Atsu on
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      yep same with kun

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      no

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

    Best one week Kane replacement?
    2 ft but 0 itb
    Have Firmino and 3 City already so Kane for...
    a) Morata
    b) Lukaku
    c) someone else
    d) bench Kane and keep 2 ft for DGW

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      D

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

      D

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

      D and maybe use a FT this week if it means you beat the price rises: Adrian/Ogbonna/Arnautovic.

    Everyone complaining about popups: there's an easy solution to this. Get yourself an adblocker.

    1. The Son Haz got Atsu on
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      or a proper phone

    2. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      this

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

      It’s not an add. It’s fake spam. Likely through the ad banner

    4. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That punishes the website costing them revenue.

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

        The site is not on its knees. It's an affiliate to the official FPL game. Me not seeing some gambling ads is hardly going to punish it.

    5. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 9 Years

      The popups seem to be on phone. There are no add-ons in the mobile phone version of Chrome.

    RP
    The average no. of players played is currently 6.8, does that mean that the 4.2 others include players that still need to be substituted out?

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

      Think so.

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Includes players that still need to be subbed in (ie. some on bench where points not yet added).

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

      Mustafi is likely to start on Thursday, right?

      1. George James
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Bloody hope so.

    5. Aston-villain

      Hazard to KDB/Sterling or keep and swap for a spurs player after blank???

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

        Wait for him to play Stoke first

        1. Kun Tozser

          This

      2. The Son Haz got Atsu on
        • 8 Years

        Brentford playing well

      Mark and Mods

      Think the site is under a cyber attack of sorts?
      Multiple users being bombarded with fake pop ups. Likely happening though the advertising banner from my experiences

      1. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        What phone are you using?

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

          iPhone. Always have really. It’s only happened once before last year. It isn’t legitimate adds.

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

        I have adblocker. I just get forwarded to Google via m43p.callitagain malware thing.

        Android, Chrome browser.

      I wanted to see if I should transfer in Ogbonna next week.

      Instead, one pop up and I’ve enlarged my “member” for £20!

      Scout Picks did really well this week.

      2 DFs scored a goal
      2 MFs got a brace and 1 MF earned 2 assists
      1 FWs got hat-trick and another got a goal

      Hope Otamendi, KDB, and Sterling follow the samples with goal, 2 assists, and a brace respectively.

      1. df34
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Was just looking at that too Natster. Could do with Otamendi doing me a favour

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

        Same. No problems here, except I transfered christensen in this week

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

      Chances Cout gets rested? If he, could be worthwhile taking him out to fund Firmino, and then get back for either of Alli/Eriksen in GW23.

    11. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years

      Captain fail. Salah over Kane 🙁

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

        Only an 8 point fail as you have both

      Early ask. Vardy > Firmino and roll the free? 0.2 ITB 2 FT

      Pickford (Elliot)
      Alonso Otamendi Ogbonna
      Salah Sterling Hazard RLC
      Vardy Kane DLC

      (Gross, Mee, Dunk)

    15. THFC4LIFE

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Kane Ali Son enough for the dgw? Don’t fancy taking a -8 for a West Ham defender/keeper. Midfield will be

      Sterling Alli Salah Son RLC

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

        Plenty

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Might do Kane Son Lanzini undecided lol

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

        Would get Arnie over Son.

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Really?

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

            On form, and I think more nailed than Son. And may be kept after DGW, with Hammers good run of fixtures, so saving you an FT.

    16. Aston-villain
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why is everyone here so sure that Coutinho will be rested next GW??

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

        Not 100% but he played 90 mins. Not a complete indicator as he's pretty much played the same minutes as Firmino over the last two but lets see

      2. The Son Haz got Atsu on
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        played 90 mane is rested, makes sense

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

        Want us to not but him.

        They are Couts.

      5. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I think it’s likely Mane will start in his place as part of front 3.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years

        I'd say so, on balance

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

          obviously depends how he performs in the first game

      Today has been a painful day.... 🙁
      Pre deadline today, plan was to possibly do Fab/Hazard/Vardy to Adrian/Arnie/Kane(c) for a -8....
      http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/12/26/spot-the-differential-gameweek-20-4/?hc_page=5#hc_comment_17308034

      ...... I decided to stick..... Fab(1)/Hazard(3)/Vardy(2)....= 6pts

      Would have been Adrian(3)/Arnie(15)/Kane cap(34) ....minus 8 = 48pts

      Got 40 points from other other 6, but Morata(c) 12 would have been 6=34pts

      Therefore I could have been on 82 pts with Ota/Sterling to go, if only I had the cojones to take the -8 🙁

      1. Bleach †

        Instead I have 46 points.... 36 point deficit.... YUCK.

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

        don't be worried about hits, i took probably 40-50 points last year and finished 220 in the world

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

          That's the thing, I don't usually care as I've already taken 22 hits this season.... but I was unlucky on the big hit weeks and lost a lot on OR. Ive been trying to not be too kneejerky.... I had Kane up to 3 wks ago, but I took him out for the power 5 midfield.....including Hazard...
