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

    kane not scored vs arsenal manu man city chelsea will probablyblank today. is he another flat track bully?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's also not scored against many rubbish sides. So just not a bully

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

      Scored plenty previous seasons. Also I think he missed the away fixt with United.

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

        Still got 3 of those to play this season and this game too.

      Pretty much. Spurs in general are very poor vs the top 6 away from home tho as Poch alluded to

        8 years, 2 months ago

        i hate gettin a def for that alone, as it usually ends in tears.......decent fixtures tho

    If Salah scoring makes owners uncomfortable, why not captain him all the time and enjoy his points? EO really does a joyless number on people.

      We like to gamble a little,spice it up.

      I like my 6 figure rank.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I enjoy my 7 figure rank, don't have to worry about what Mo does - he's my security blanket.

    3. Bubz

      I wish I had done that all these weeks. Never disliked a player that I own so much

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Because there appear to be better captain options some weeks

      That's the definition of dier in the dictionary

  15. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years

    Why Wanyama doesn't play more? Out of favor? Not as good as I was thinking?

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

      Came back from an injury.. Will be eased in slowly

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Gotcha. Thought that might have something to do with it.

      2. The Enlightener

        Am admittedly a bit out of touch on all the league news this season. 😳

      Effective ownership.

      Sometimes Salah, Kane are captained by so many people that is it a disadvantage if they score and you don't have them captained.

  20. Rainer

    Salah +BPS

  21. Sim Simma

  22. diesel001

    Salah needs to hold onto his BAPS and stop giving them away.

  23. Sim Simma

    Why the ball always fall on VVD

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He has a ball magnet in his hair

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's the biggest target on the pitch!

  25. tm245
    • 14 Years

    VVD for the third Liverpool slot, I think.

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
