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.

    Arnautovic 107.2 on fplstatistics, faith in humanity temporarily lost.

    Regretting fabianski over Elliot big time here

    1. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Why? Elliot is going to concede about 5 against city anyway, it’s a lose lose

    Did azpi and richarlison to pogba and Christensen for - 4... Kill me..

    1. Fpldonny
      • 9 Years

      Ooh thats gotta hurt man 🙁

    2. Barnsley FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Did Alonso and Loftus to Ogbonna (0) and Pogba. I feel your pain.

    Considering I wasn't planning to captain Kane this week, instead going Hazard, my moves - Kane and Smalling > Morata and Alonso kind of paid off..

    Kane(17) + Smalling(would have transferred in jones on a free so (1)) = 18

    Morata (6) + Alonso (14) = 20

    Plus I now have both for a favourable home fixture vs Stoke.

    Bitterly disappointed to miss out on the Kane haul and captain though.

    Big red arrow this week.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Why on Earth would you sell Kane after a hattrick you muppet. He's the definition of confidence player.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Ya can’t justify selling Kane after a hat trick, nice effort though.

  6. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

    Oxlade-Chamberlain fits right in amongst this Swansea side

  7. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Defense dilemma. Mbemba to 4.5. Who? Already have Ogbonna and Mee. Want to burn one 1 FT. Also I prefer not to play Tarroll coming week. The new defender will be on my bench most weeks but I want someone with good CS chance this week.
    (1) Kenny
    (2) Lowe
    (3) klavan (nailed?)
    (4) any?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Kenny anyday. Everton look golden

      1. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        How long is he nailed for? Till Coleman is back?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Longer, I hope.

    2. GAMBIT

    3. Bring the Cavalry

    Anyone owns Alonso? Tearing up your ML?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Its going alright but main rival has Christensen to cover him so nothing major 😉

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Literally got him in with Wilson for rooney & Kolasinac 2 minutes before the gameweek deadline.

      Lucky!

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Smalling to Alonso yesterday. Feels good

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Daniels > Alonso yesterday. Immediate reward!

  9. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    a) 3 West Ham clean sheets in a row
    b) I buy West Ham defender
    c) concede 3 goals in consecutive games

    Oh the joy

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      I doubled up on them, simply lovely

      This

  10. Patch

    8 years, 20 days ago

    What is the earliest that Cout may disappear from PL?

    No point bringing him in now right...

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      No he will be sold to Barca next week so that he can't play champs league again this season don't buy

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Are you saying don't buy Cout??

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      July 1st. Can't see Barca wanting him in January with a big points lead in the league and because he's cup-tied in UCL.

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        So in summary I can transfer him in for Hazard this week and still benefit for many GWs to come...

  11. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Coutinho needs to stop it with these crazy shots. They're never going to go in.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      High off that first one

    2. Differentiator

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      nah, you'll want him back and price will go against you

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Probably not, in this form.

    3. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah

    4. SkeletONv01
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Find another way to get Alli in if you want him.

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        I can't.. .if I want to get alli or erik I have to lose salah or cout ...

        So prob not worth it...

        1. SkeletONv01
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Son?

          1. Flynny
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

    5. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      No

    7. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Not worth it

  15. southernpacific
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Ditch hazard to double up on Chelsea defence with Alonso?

    1. LIARS POKER
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      That's my plan

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 9 Years

        After next week*

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Thinking this. Alonso comfortably outscoring Haz

      1. southernpacific
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Could just do Richarlison to Lingard this week and haz to Pogba and 4.5 to Alonso

        1. Kuneshwar
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Pogba is worth shit..

  16. shearer9
    • 9 Years

    Vardy's not worth keeping is he?

    Liverpool don't look like making this the rout it could be

  19. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    So sick of zero Haz involvement in Chelsea's goals. I know they have Stoke at home but I see no reason to keep him when I have Morata and Alonso as cover.

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Keep for one more week then sell for Spurs mid

      1. Jeremy Corbyn

    3. Sancidino

      Stoke are terrible and Hazard looked really good to me today. Giving him this game

    4. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      You gave the number 1 reason to hold him in your post.

  20. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    DDG
    Azpi Christensen Kenny Schindler
    Salah Sterling Coutinho Richa
    Morata DCL

    Speroni RLC (Kane Ogbonna)

    2 FTs 0.1 ITB

    What do should I do with my transfer(s)?

    Richa to Lingard is of course an option but I’m not sure if I like that too much.

  21. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Hope Smalling is fit for 30th. Has Mou said anything? Presume he will want him.straight in after shipping two

    1. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Not when Smalling cost him two points at the King Power.

  22. Weeb Kakashi
    • 9 Years

    Zaha> Silva for free? Have Sterling too

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Hold a week and maybe get Son or one of the West Ham boys for the DGW.

  23. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    How did Pogba look guys?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years

      Heard good things

    2. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Not dangerous enough

    3. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Not as good as Lingard

  24. TheTinman

    Only DCL away from home for me next week! All others at home...

    1. Rainer

  26. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Have 2 ft's and I'm thinking...
    This week: Hazard > KDB
    Next week: Richarlison > Arnautovic (ft rolled again)

    Would give me;

    Salah Sterling KDB Pogba Arny

    Sanity check?

  30. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Is Christensen likely to play in the next game? He was out with illness and may not recover in four days. Roonpig had a head cold and has missed two

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I have both. Yay me.
