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

    3. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      WBA would have to get to the semis in the FA cup for Salah to get a DGW.

    Is hazard a rotation risk for WBA game with FA cup and Barca looming?

    I wanna downgrade to Mkhi, but not sure whether to wait or do before price change? the 0.1 poss makes a big difference on wider transfers!

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years

      No, chelsea need him

    2. Royal5

      Are you mad? Chelsea look dreadfull atm if anything they nedd him more than ever.

      1. R Whites
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        On that point then....Hazard worth keeping? tying up a lot of cash

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Wait and see tomorrow. I own him as well. With the worst team in the league next I´d find it difficoult to sell personally.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, hope so, will switch him out in a couple of gws or on wildcard if not. Have MITB for Kane, enough for one rise, so will leave it 1 gw and then bring him in for Kun for Palace

      You can have my Pickford.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah but that’s usually the way it goes when we buy a player on a hot streak 🙂

        He is a saves/baps darling.

        Can’t see anybody better who plays in GW31

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I'd focus on GW27-31.

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Got to make plans if you don’t have FH available

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years

      Pickford has been a nightmare since I got him in. Avoid

    3. TorresMagic™

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years

      Pickford in?! I'd be avoiding Everton defence for sure

  12. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    How does Son & Lingard ➡ Walcott and Ramsey sound? A bit kneejerky but I am catching and need some differentials.

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

      I'd do Lingard to Ramsey. Not sure shipping son out yet

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lingard out is a good move... I think Son will burn sellers

      Depends what those two do, depends on your current rank, depends what auto subs folk have.

      Mkhi, but couple of weeks early...Walcott in the meantime

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Already have Theo

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't get one of our defenders, we're allergic to defending. VVD if you're set on it.

      Walcott for now. Mkhi of those

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Already have Walcott

    Keep faith with Pogba?

      Debating this myself
      Walcott and Mkhi calling me

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I think Walcott was a flash in the pan .. Mhkitaryan looks great in that Arsenal team linking with aubamayang ...

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I think he has to be given Newcastle... also Mkhi I think will get max 10 points in next 2 games, probably 2-2 so I'm holding till GW29 to get him.

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That's still four points more than Mahrez will get

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Defo for next gw, switch him out afterwards if he flops

    4. Teror
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I am keeping for at least the next one.

    5. Turns
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks chaps. Was thinking the same but got Gomez (poss injured), Maguire (MCI) and Mbemba as defenders so might have to sacrifice a week early to free up funds for an upgrade. Unless anyone has good option for a good 4.6 or below?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years

        yeah not sure why, been just trying to have some bantz and help people out with articles i find..... guess if you go beyond RMTs and multiple choice questions you attract attention

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years

      Six years?! Weird visiting an old page, I had no concept of FPL at the time and never imagined I'd have ended up getting hooked.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wuld quite like to swap Son, Pogba, Firmino for Mkhi, Alexis, Wilson. Not doing it though, as Son will likely score v Arsenal, same with Pogba v Newcastle. And Bobby can score v anyone.

        • The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          Kane is not going to be banned for diving however much you wish it was so. Forget it

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Although he may do so in the future

          2. Fantasy Gold
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            If it wasn’t Kane, he’d be banned.

            The FA have their little favourites.

            You just have to accept it

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              That’s bullshit, all of the tv pundits including refs say it was a pen. My own eyes also saw clear contact. Maybe he made a lot of it but there is no way that would get a retro ban regardless of the player involved

              1. Fantasy Gold
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Whatever you say, champ.

            Yep.

        • Royal5
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Pretty embarrassing post game interview by Klopp. Blaming everything on the refs when his team hardly did anything to attack in the second half. He should be very happy with the one point.

            If it wasn't for Salah, Klopp would already be sacked, they are such a one man team now it's frightening.

            With Coutinho gone I think Liverpool need to change their setup to:

            Karius
            Gomez VVD Matip Robertson
            Ox Henderson Can Milner
            Salah
            Firmino

            Against the weaker teams I would switch Milner, Robertson and Gomez for Mane, TAA and Moreno to give them more explosiveness on the wings.

              Probably can rotate Ox and Wijnaldum against the waeker teams too

              The problem for me is ox hendo Milner can are all a bit average.

              Not one decent dm.

              Vvd a great signing but the problem for me is in front of him.

          Is this move too aggressive? Current GW 27 team:

          Pope (Adrian)
          Alonso, Ogbon, Long (Dunk, Vert)
          Shaqiri, Salah, Sterling, Walcott (Lingard)
          Kane, Firmino, Wilson

          1 FT, 3.3 ITB

          Thinking Lingard > Mkhitaryan and benching him this week. Definitely want him from GW 29 on wards and this way I get his price rises and avoid Lingard's drops.

          Thoughts?

            Play over Shaq if you do, but can save and wait how he does

            Interesting but I wouldn't bench him against spurs myself

            Walcott, good fixtures and is lurking in the penalty area alot

            Mhki doesn't have the fixtures (yet)
