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.

    I can't deal with these so called top players that can't shoot with both feet. Pathetic Firmino.

    Anyone here in the Yahoo FFS Cup?

    169 entries

    I have Kane, Son, Morata and Lingard today and I'm not even in the top 25.

    How is that even possible?

      Does the game reward underlying stats highly? Kane will probably have very high ownership also.

        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah must do, with it being free entry I didn't look into it too much!

        The current leader has Tom Ince, as you do...

          In a lot of the daily fantasy games there are some players who are absolutely essential that you'd never consider for FPL because of their underlying stats.

      Excellent, but no returns again. Will hold for one more GW due to the fixture, and if it's another blank then instasell.

        Same here. One more week. He did have a good game and should have scored.

    4. Chop1234
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Should have scored atleast1, weren't his day and still was awarded man of the match

  5. Can’t beat em so&hell…

    45 minutes for Salah to mach Kane. Come on lad.

    1. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years

      More like 15-20 mins

      Doesnt look like hes gonna score

      Weird

  7. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    So I suppose the burning question is....

    With Spurs bang on form for FPL and a more settled team than Pep's merry go round do we need the headache?....The DGW of course being the catalyst.

    City picks > Spurs picks.

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

      I'm saving this week and doing Richa>Son and Silva>Eriksen. Silva I feel is the safest one to get rid of

  8. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like the curse of the most transferred in is guaranteed to return this week before a ball is kicked 😆 how can that many people be dumb. Probably quite a lot involve uneasary hits too. Well if you wanna throw points away...

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Who's most transferred in?

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

        Kane

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

        Quaner

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Was just looking at that. Very odd! People must have more pressing issues than getting Kane for a blank gw?

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        It's not odd, people just don't pay attention.

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

      People probably trying to get him before he jumps up to £13M.

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

        If they don't get him in he won't jump to £13 million.

    Wasn't too bothered about no Christensen when I had ogbonna coming in. Didn't turn out well

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

      West Ham are hopeless at defending

      Arnie looks like the only decent Hammers pick

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Who to sell first - ASBO or Hazzo?

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hold hazard, make sure you have starters for next week

    2. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years

      Who is ASBO?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Only have 10 players for next week as Mariappa gamble has not paid off and Austin is out:

    A) Mariappa -> Kenny
    B) Mariappa + Austin -> Otamendi + Quarner (-4)

  15. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else thinking getting Hammers defender was a mistake? Think I can put a better team out in the DGW, by leaving Ogbonna on the bench.

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

      wish I'd got cresswell instead

  16. Silva’s Left Nut
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    For those who currently have 3 or more spurs/ west ham players, is anyone considering using free hit chip this game week to get rid of them, so that they can all return for the double GW? I know people usually save the free hit chip for GW 38, but what are your guys' thoughts? I'm certainly considering it.

    cheers

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

      Why do you have more than 3 of them? Basic planning could have prevented that. Just take the hit and leave as is, waste of a FH

      1. Silva’s Left Nut
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        eh. Two of them are Kane and Son, which I certainly don't regret having. Ogbonna was a mistake for me, but i don't see how this is a waste of a FH?

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

      People save the chip for the blank gw I think.

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

        Next GW is a blank ?

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Free hit in GW28 probably

  17. OLLY G
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    How essential is Coutinho?

    I stupidly took him out before the last GW for Sterling.

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Scores almost every game, very explosive. Essential for me.

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

      Sterling Salah Cout are the most essential mids for me

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

      He is being sold away from the premier league tho...

  18. Srv210

    Hazard and Pogba , one more week, then shipping for son & KDB ...playing like amateurs these two ,so frustrating

        But why?

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

          Because he loses the ball all the time. Like Bambi on ice that fella

      Selling Morata last week for Monreal + Obiang > Alonso + Coutinho for a -4 really paid off 😀

    3. Scapegoat Salah

      Thoughts on Hazard to Coutinho? Or keep Hazard?
      (Already have Salah)

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Hmm would mean being a bit unbalanced and light upfront.

      2. MTPockets
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Don't have him but think would keep for fixture.

        • MadridistaRants
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I was planning on getting Haz this week but ended up getting Cout as it allowed me to get Alonso. Depends on what you do with the funds really.

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

        • UnitedFan
          • 10 Years

          Wouldn't sell Haz before Stoke at home.

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Lol I love the hazard responses, everyone is always like ohhh I wouldn’t change him before stoke and then the week after they are like but he has Watford, then ooh he has Leicester. Then nine weeks later you still have hazard and your like wtf he is still chit

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

              Hahaha true. (non-owner here btw)

            2. MTPockets
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Fair. Sold him two weeks ago and not looked back.

          2. OLLY G
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I have the same dilemma tbh. It just feels too hard to justify the extra 1.6m for Hazard.

          3. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks everyone. It is frustrating given it sounds like he's playing really well and doing everything yet getting points! Will keep for Stoke I think

            Surely he was just bringing him in as an enabler? The points are just a conveniently well-timed bonus.

          Anyone doing worse?

              I'm just looking at todays scores.

              Sterling sill probably get 1 pointer tomorrow anyway.

          4. WVA
            • 9 Years

            Not doin much better and have Kane captain!

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

              Kane on his own scored more than my team if you had the armband in him.

              Ah well, there's always pear cider to numb the pain.

        • Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago
