A Gameweek under lights has been thrown into mild turmoil by key injuries and breaking transfer speculation. It remains to be seen if Fantasy managers can still emerge from such a scenario with big scores.

Tuesday eases us in with three of the ten fixtures, with the John Smithโ€™s Stadium undoubtedly the main focus.

Thatโ€™s the venue for Huddersfield Townโ€™s clash with a Liverpool side awash with key Fantasy assets, including the top scoring and top owned pick, Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian heads into this clash with an incredible record of a goal or an assist in 13 of his last 15 appearances and, having blanked in the 1-0 defeat to Swansea last time out, he is understandably backed to deliver.

Roberto Firminoโ€™s record is also strong. The Brazilian has produced double-digits in three of his last five away days, while he scored against the Terriers at Anfield back in Gameweek 10.

Both start, though Jurgen Kloppโ€™s teamsheet springs one major surprise, with Virgil van Dijk โ€“ brought in by 41,000 ahead of tonight’s deadline – left on the bench, presumably rested for the weekend visit of Spurs.

His height could be missed in the Liverpool backline given that the Terriers have chosen to opt for both Laurent Depoitre and Steve Mounie as a pair in attack. David Wagner also bids to mimic Swanseaโ€™s stubborn performance against the Reds by deploying a back five.

Elsewhere tonight, itโ€™s Arsenalโ€™s turn to try and break down the Swansโ€™ rearguard with Arsene Wenger choosing to leave new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the bench at the Liberty Stadium.

Meanwhile, an injury-ravaged West Ham host Crystal Palace at the London Stadium, with a number of key Fantasy assets on the sidelines.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Mane is Liverpool's version of son

    1. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This.

    2. El-Kloppico

      Is Son the worst player in Spurs team?
      Son bringing them points.. while Mané losing them games.

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

      Only that Son gets you more FPL points ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Midfield line maybe

    Ayew first on my bench - hopeful of someone to pick up a niggle yet ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. The_FF_King

    Is it me or has Mane been poor today?

    1. SuperHam
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Agree- he’s been awful the last few times I’ve watched Liverpool

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Has been poor since his red card back in GW4

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Since the turn of the year

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Word is that Mane lost his mojo inside Edersons head...

  6. BucketHead
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Sanchez likely to rise tonight??

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      It will be close.

  7. How Mina You
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    To the muppets who keep saying we don't need Giroud - no, we most certainly still need him at points such as these!

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You're the muppet merte

      1. How Mina You
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I recognise just how important a squad player Giroud is and how it would be incredibly stupid to sell him to Chelsea

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Unless it released Auba to Arsenal. Imagine if he had to fly home because Chelsea couldn't replace Batshuayi. Who would be the muppets then?

          Anyway, I'm not here to voice my opinion. I really like Giroud. I just think you're silly calling people muppets for expressing an opinion that's not even ridiculous.

      You've got Mhki to score the scorpion kicks now though ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

      Yea he can come on, score the equalizer against a relegation team, and meme celebrate instead of going for the win.

  8. Chirsbom
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Mhiky close, saved and offside. But nice move.

  9. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Is Mhki taking FKs and corners already ??

  10. Differentiator

    Disappointing that Salah hasn't had even a sniff

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Was probably sniffing something before the match.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        ITK?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          It was me that supplied it.

      Any advice for a cool budget defender? Kicking Otamendi out to upgrade Lingard, doing it today to not lose the 0.1 SV.

      Backfield: Azpi, Alonso, Mee, Kenny, OTAMENDI

      1. Team Cruel

        Backfield? Oh dear!

        Regarding your question it would help knowing the rest of your team.
