Following Newcastle’s win over Man United, Sundayโ€™s third and final fixture sees us take a trip to St Maryโ€™s Stadium as Southampton and Liverpool square up at 4.30pm.

After Sergio Agueroโ€™s four-goal demolition of Leicester and Harry Kaneโ€™s solitary strike against Arsenal, all eyes now turn to Mohamed Salah.

Up against a defence with a single clean sheet in their last 13 home fixtures, the Egyptian is the number one captain for Gameweek 27 with 22.1% armband backing.

The top scoring player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Salahโ€™s relentless consistency has delivered returns in 15 of his previous 17 league outings.

Heโ€™s also served up 11 sets of double-figure hauls, including a 16-point tally against Mauricio Pellegrinoโ€™s men back in Gameweek 12.

His team-mate Roberto Firmino could emerge as a differential captaincy candidate โ€“ just 3.3% of managers have backed the Brazilian, who has supplied 10+ points in three of his last five away starts.

Meanwhile, James Ward-Prowse has another chance to stake a claim as a budget midfield buy.

Up against a defence with three clean sheets on their travels, the Saintsโ€™ playmaker has three goals and two assists in the previous four rounds of fixtures.

Interest is clearly on the rise โ€“ at a price of 5.1, he was acquired by 78,000+ FPL managers ahead of yesterday morningโ€™s deadline.

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

    3. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Will he even start?

  2. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Mane or VVD for the Liverpool triple up for GW31?

    Was set on Mane but he's been useless this season

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Vvd

    2. ooooo

  4. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Can't do Otamendi - > VvD as I have Robertson. I'll have to come up with my own plan now. How bad ๐Ÿ˜†

  5. Differentiator

    Can everyone please be quiet about Virgil. Need him as a differential for more than just this week.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Reckon he'll still be under the radar.

      I was dreading a goal from him in this game as I've had him highlighted to bring in for ages.

      WHU, WAT, NEW 3 of the next 4 - time to pounce!

      1. A Betting Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Just realised, that wasn't keeping quiet...

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      That's optimistic, won't go unnoticed amongst active teams.

  6. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Shame Salah didn't score a brace at least... Mane is awful, a man down for Liverpool lately.

  7. sweglet

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      As an Aguero(C) that's a terrible score

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Assumption.

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Even with Niasse + Salah + Aguero you still couldn't make at least 90 points ... that's not a score to brag about. Check Bubz score

          1. Puzzle
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Well. He had all those, so a good score. He didn't brag either.

          2. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            You think that's a brag?

      2. A Betting Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Can't help but feel this myself. 79 post bonus with just Alonso to go. Just 24 points from my men who's name isn't Sergio or Mo.

    9. Midlands Saint73
      • 8 Years

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

    Is there way to easily find out what I paid for a player? So I can work out if I'm effected by a price drop or not...

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

    2. Viper

    Salah to lose 2nd bap?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'd guess so

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Bloody hope not

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years

      HOW?

    4. JJO
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Dont know if they counted that big chance created for Lallana

    5. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No chance.

  14. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    107 with Alonso to go.

    0 point Daniels first sub.

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Probably finish up witha decent score once Alonso's played. Can see him getting a clean sheet.

  15. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    My City and Liverpool triple ups have been amazing. Shame I can't have any more from those two teams.

  16. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    97 allout. Long time since I had a good gw

  17. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Rough week and my bad season continues.

    - Owned Aguero ( considered captain )
    - Owned Salah ( Considere captain )
    - Owned Alexis ( Captained LOL )
    - Owned Kane ( considere captain )
    - Benched fekkings Ogbonna. 54 all out and loosing to much ground in my MLS.

    People who cant play this game gets a hundred points, that is really harsh

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      hows that harsh? You just made the wrong decisions

      1. lordkippe
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        True that.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Feel for u man. But Sanchez was always a poor pick

      1. lordkippe
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I agree

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      chin up, always next week ๐Ÿ™‚

    4. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      It's one week. Captain people in form and you will rise again

    5. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Captaining aguero at home against Leicester are players that don't know how to play this game? Not sure I agree... Salah captainer..

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Maybe they are casuals with some other fluke decisions i suppose

      2. lordkippe
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        just some frustration

    6. Count of Monte Hristo

      So salty ๐Ÿ˜†

    7. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Alexis captain was a really bad choice IMO.

      1. lordkippe
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I totally agree with you. Just had that feeling

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Mane to Mahrez looking likely.

  19. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    the case for Kane captain this week looks a bit lame now, with hindsight ๐Ÿ™‚

  20. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Think vvd might edge Salh to 2 bps

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      not likely

    2. Midlands Saint73

  29. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    A van Dijk clean sheet which drops Southampton into the relegation zone. I love life.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      You surely don't want your feeder club relegated?

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Such greed. Robbing Southampton of their talent then mocking them when they are down! Should be giving them extra $$s!

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years

      What have you got against Southampton? You've ripped the heart out from their team

      • 12 Years

      Nasty post there, you lot are practically Southampton.

    5. Midlands Saint73
