After Palace and Newcastle shared the spoils at Selhurst Park, we now make our way to Anfield as Liverpool entertain Spurs at 4.30pm.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest is substantial for Sunday’s late encounter, with Golden Boot rivals Harry Kane (17.3%) and Mohamed Salah (13.1%) among the top three captain picks for Gameweek 26.

Kane – who rolls up to Merseyside on the back of nine goals in his last six league starts – has already plundered 16 FPL points against Jurgen Klopp’s troops in a 4-1 home win back in Gameweek 9.

He was handed the armband by 12 of the top 100 FPL managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline, with 19 of those opting for Salah instead.

The Egyptian remains the most consistent source of points in FPL, with a goal or assist in 14 of his last 16 league appearances.

Ominously for Mauricio Pochettino’s team, Salah has delivered double-digits in each of his last two at Anfield as the Reds look to avenge their Wembley mauling.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino is the seventh top armband pick for this round of fixtures, though just 3.2% of managers have backed the Brazilian, who has served up six goals and three assists in his last seven starts.

Like Salah, both Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min were also among the goals in that previous head-to-head and will fancy their chances against a defence that shipped three goals to Man City in their last home match.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Salah goal still seems good in top 10k due to large Kun captaincy.

    I think have captained Salah only twice this season and I wonder why I'm doing so poorly 😀

    1. Viper

      This is only the third time I've captained him. One of which was the game he missed a pen. Second time was his penalty last week

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

      Salah, no.
      Kane, yes.

  14. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years

    Is it still worth getting Walcott in?
    Or some other good option/s in his price bracket as my Lingard replacement?

    1. potatoace

      Depends on rank.

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years

          Quite annoying as he probably would have got 9 if playing

        2. Spike ⚽️
          • 14 Years

          Actually he was dropped. There was no official report that he was ill

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

            So are you saying he lied to his sister?

      United's two right footed center backs were badly exposed by Spurs, so dropped for Rojo.

      Read the scout notes.

        Abstract from scout notes.

        "The England international had started the previous nine Gameweeks and, while it was reported on social media prior to the match that this may have been due to illness, there was no such confirmation from Mourinho or the club. Other reports merely suggest that Jones was one of those dropped following the abject display against Spurs"

    That Salah (C) goal + the three bonus points he is holding would double my GW score from 18 to 36 !

      • 14 Years

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        true, it could easily be more than double !

    2. Viper
