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.

    Vardy + Chalobah + Pogba to DLC + Lingard + Coutinho for a -4?

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

    Yes Coutinho and Salah! Would Coutinho be considered a differential?

      Not really.12.8%

    Colgate should sponsor Firmino. Those white teeth could really increase sales.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Will he score more goals then?

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

        IDK, but I would buy more Colgate

    Looks very promising for a lot of Liverpool goals...keep 'em coming

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

      hopefully Kane captainers are hiding behind the sofa by half time

  7. Jafooli

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      It’s anyone’s guess really.

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

      Coutinho took last one and scored

  8. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    This could be a cricket score.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      They’re not far from it to be fair

  12. Jafooli

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He did well for a bench fodder

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

        True should be happy with the 5, just gutting to see points snatched from under you like that!

    2. Tired and weary

  14. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I have hazard and morata is it time to dump hazard?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think so. I’m keeping next GW then switching to Eriksen or Son for the double

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

      I'm holding for Stoke and then out for Spurs mid if he doesn't haul

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Think I'll do the same maybe get arnie in

  15. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea questions:
    Do I need to think about Azpi > Alonso?
    And is Hazard worth keeping; Maybe > KDB?

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

      No, keep Azpil, Sell Hazard.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, asked the question before I saw Azpi's performance.

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard > Silva then another defender to Alonso

      Double up is the way!

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

      Azpi's on for 3 BPS. With Morata back I think there'll be more assists. As for Hazard I reckon you should keep him for one more GW

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

    Double Liverpool essential?

    1. FootballFanatic365

    2. LarryDuff

      cout and salah me thinks

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

        Yep. Firmino too inconsistent

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Salah chance created +BPS

  18. FootballFanatic365

    pogba keepers?

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

      yeah hi

    2. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Lingard seems a better pick

      1. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Only because he scored twice today. Long term pick.. Pogba is far better.

  19. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Why isn't there a huge cout wagon? He's scoring every game basically

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Salah

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

      fair of rotation i guess

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

        fare*

        1. La Roja

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

      People keep expecting rotation I guess

    4. Hotdogs for Tea

      Can’t have them all

    5. Coaly

      Great for me, enjoying his points and the gains

    DDG

      LoL

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

      Very attacking midfield for PTB strategy

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        True. Might sell that lot for Barry, Kante, Matic & Henderson.

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

          That is what I call Burnley 2.0

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling in the middle? Mee at LWB?! What a joke

      😛

  21. Bring the Cavalry

    Quaner was on 3 Baps and now on 0? Haha that’s a big jump

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

      He must have said something about fpl towers in the post match interview.

      Towers doesn't take kindly to bad press.

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

        lot of pissed off Depoitre owners at FPL towers

  22. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    How’s this front six look for the double gwk? Or would you have Coutinho in there?

    Sterling/KDB/Arnautovic/Son/Salah
    Kane

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

      Very nice

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going to have
      Salah Eriksen Coutinho Sterling Son
      Kane

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

      Nice! I'm looking at
      Salah • Alli/Son • Coutinho • Sterling • Arnautovic

  23. GXNG
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I wonder what Mane’s thinking right now. Must be really frustrated sitting on bench this often but he doesn’t look anywhere as sharp as he did last season when he’s given a chance

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t think Klopp is overly keen on him now. Maybe an attitude thing.

    2. dark91
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He is behaving very arrogantly recently tbh which is something no manager would accept let alone Klopp

  24. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard dropping quicker than a lead balloon - followed closely by Rooney ... things change so quickly

    1. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I’m tempted to ship and double up on defence

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

      As always with this game, early sellers get stung

      Hazard great captain pick next week

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

        Then you gonna ship?

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

    Lukaku > Morata for free lads?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hell yes.

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

        Lol

    2. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Post haste.

  26. southernpacific
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Richarlison> Lingard?

    Or Lowton > Alonso
    Hazard > Lingard for a hit

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

      B

  27. AnderEstimatedHerrera
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Does current squad mean that Cout or Salah will be dropped against Leicester?

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

      Wait to see who's subbed off early

  28. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    So, my plan is....

    2FTs
    Pope > Lloris this week. Play Elliot.

    And then;
    Hazard > Alli
    Richarlison > Arnie for the DGW.

    Means I’ll have 5 DGW players. And Arnie and Alli are looking well.

    Not sure about losing Hazard though, but he is so frustrating.

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

      Same plan here, thinking on Haz+Richa+Pope/Elliot to Eriksen/Son+Arni+Adrian

      Hazard is just awful.

  29. SuperDan
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is Long nailed?

  30. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I will cry for days if Coutinho leaves! We need more creative players like him in the midfield to feed Salah,Mane,etc. Look at City - Without KDB and Silva they'd struggle to create anything. Lemar would be great addition
