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

    2. Fred54

      I read his blog from time to time. His stance on not getting Salah because of his biased view from Chelsea and looking for the diff hasn't gone down to well.

      1. Legomané

        that's the only reason why he is not an elite fpl manager like ronka, he's trying too hard to be different.

    How can Spurs we so good on Wednesday but so poor today, typical Spurs

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      They played ManU

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

        And you pretty much answered your own question. They played Wednesday.

        That said it all!

    2. Somalion

      Poch looks to have changed the formation because he can't ever leave a team alone.

        Home and away.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Still no need for it. Has changed Eriksen, Alli and Son's positions by the looks of it but to very little avail, just makes them all less involved.

    Juve 7 - 0 Spurs

    1. diesel001

      I think Spurs will win that tie.

    Kane trying to play worse than Aguero did yesterday

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      An honour and a privilege to own both.

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        they are cheap also

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

      Those with Kane and kun must be wondering what they could do to their teams with the 24.7 million (almost 25% of your initial squad spend).

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Own neither. Went with KDB, Firmino and upgrade cheap mid to Hazard. Then just put (c) on Salah.

  10. Somalion

    Well that was poo

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Nah, it would be hasty to get rid of a 5.0 United defender

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

      Ship's sailing in FPL is another one of them myths

      Like having cover. And Hazard and Daniels are good FPL options

      If you feel he will score points then go for it. Why miss out

    4. Count of Monte Hristo

      He was ill.

    5. dunas_dog

      You will suffer in GW 31

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

        It's time to worry about that after GW30. Go for it right now and go for maximum points so far!

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

      Ugh. Relying on Arsenal is FPL suicide

    4. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Do that. Can't see any negative consequences of relying on Arsenal and Everton attacks....

  14. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I don't think I've got a green arrow since 2018 started.

  15. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I don't know how to feel about doing Kane to Kun a week ago, I guess I saved some money but expected Kun to outscore Kane, left dissapointed

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

    Salah is surely going to be 11.0m plus next season at this rate...if he's still in PL that is...

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

      Grimsby will snap him up.

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

      Signing of season
      Player of season

      I really should captain him more

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Still yet to captain him 😯

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      12m I reckon. He is achieving more than Sanchez did last season.

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

        He's on pace for over 300 one of the best FPL seasons ever

  17. Delph & Safety

    Salah kills ranks.

  20. drughi

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      i keep running back to him after other cap failures like a security blanket

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who needs to go first:

    A. Kiko
    B. Bardsley
    C. Ogbonny
    D. Lingard

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kiko

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      b>Lowton

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

        Any idea of his injury Nets?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          No but I suspect they're better with Lowton anyway.

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

      Bardsley

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B. He's surely lost his place

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      C or D. Keep Kiko for kicks.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years

      Lei have just conceded to a centre-back, keep him for now

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years

      Not particularly

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

        Consensus is to save this week

  24. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    When in doubt, captain Salah. Lesson learned. #SterlingCaptainFail

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

      Very unfortunate that Sterling didn't score. Even aside from that awful miss, he looked the most threatening. City were wasteful.

      Salah was gifted that goal by Dier.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        True but yet again, Mo gets the goal, unbelievable season

      2. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, Sterling goal would have been helpful. Obviously.

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

      Yep, I did the same, feel very silly right now, keep trying to be too clever and losing ground in my mini league as a result.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thankfully I'm not losing ground in ML, but my OR is tanking.

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I was doing very well by my standards but dropped to 22k last night and that won't get any better by the end of the game week, roll on GW27.

  25. MadridistaRants
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Alli on the left wing? What was Poch thinking?

  26. Thunder Warrior
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Best defender up to 4.4?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Bauer

        Dammit Chloe!!!

      2. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Bauer is 4.5

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

      Simpson

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

      Lowton

    4. Thunder Warrior
      • 11 Years

      Martina?

  27. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    So Spurs can't cope with sides that park the bus or press doesn't seem to leave many options.
    Biggest issue maybe compared to other top sides is lack of options on the bench. Anyone there that can change a game?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Llorente and Lamela and hoof it up the pitch. Nothing wrong with long ball football and mixing it up.

      1. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        2 ordinary players.
        Already getting outmuscled by Liverpool which not a lot of sides are.

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

      Lucas Moura

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

        Is he there?

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

          He's not on the bench today, but I'm just saying in general

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

        could make a difference

    3. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      *Away from home. Liverpool's pressing didn't do much good in the reverse fixture

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      They've got a problem away at the big teams. Something seems to prevent them playing well, and I don't think it's the players.

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

      Has Lamela come on for Son?

      One of two sub moves Poch knows.

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

    Kane on for the second half!

    1. rivercityransom
      • 10 Years

      whew

  29. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

    No subs by the looks of it at HT

  30. #FPLBhuna

    What are the permutations for BGW31?

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

      Jim White, is that you?
