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

      Depends on rivals. For overall, Kane good, Salah hurts rank slightly.

    Why do something different when you only get punished? Sanchez (C) over Salah fail.

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

      Don't be different just to be different. Do what you think will get you the points.

    2. Viper

      Not yet. Salah pen miss?

    3. Cok3y5murf

      Different doesn't automatically mean getting punished

    What is Salah’s EO?

    I have him but that goal turned my small green arrow into a red one. So over 100%?

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

      Yes slightly over 100% I think

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years

        Nuts.

    Davies dangerous tackle

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

      expect a YC

    Wish I'd started TAA now. I've been trying to start him every week since I bought him. The one week I bench him, he starts. Surprised Klopp doesn't trust him a bit more to start games.

  14. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully Firmino springs to life and steals some of those Salah baps

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

    TAA making himself 1st choice!

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      If only that were the case.

  16. Ghost Gooner

    Why did Firmino trap that air ball he should have shot 😡

      Which Everton defender is nailed? I know they are playing badly. But with those fixtures and gw 31. Not a bad shout.

      Liverpool looking really good here.

      hope kane or son scores....was tempted by vert to vvd, held off...lookin like a mistake

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe there is a case for captaining the same player every week all season

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

        I still haven't captained him once.

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I did once. He blanked.

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years

          Neither have I. Only owned him gw 15-21 also

      2. Napoleon IV
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That was pretty much what you did in the days of Henry & Ronaldo

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

        Next season I'm going DDG plus fodder keeper and KDB or Salah cap all season

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah well, every season is unique. But you will not keep up with such a tactic, at some point the temptation of Kane/Kun/Auba will get you.
          Most likely within the first 3-4 gw’s And the circus will be in full spinn again

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

            I'll change cap to obvious candidate when my season cap has a tough fix and a clear option is there.

            1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

      What a ball from TAA, Firmino should have scored

    • Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino misses a sitter

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

        Sitter lmao

      2. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Sitter? Should have done better, but calling that a sitter is stupid.

        • 12 Years

        Cheap enough to keep

    • Sim Simma

      Has Kane even touched the ball

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

        He's playing?

    • Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane's first touch of the game.

    • Collie01

      Liverpool could go on a real CL run.
