The Gameweek begins within the cauldron of Goodison Park and a Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.

From a Fantasy perspective, the main interest surrounds absent friends as Mohamed Salah misses out with a groin injury and Roberto Firmino is rested to the bench.

That pair are the two most-owned players in Fantasy Premier League, though they were also the most sold ahead of today’s deadline.

Even with those sales, over 1.9 million managers still own both Salah and Firmino and will now be looking to their bench for reinforcement.

Liverpool make five changes in all, with Andrew Robertson another to miss out. A calf problem puts pay to the left-back who, like Salah, goes into Tuesday’s Champions League second leg with Manchester City as a doubt.

Robertson was brought in by 61,000+ managers ahead of Gameweek 32, making him the third-most bought defender last time out.

Sadio Mane does start for the visitors and will go in search of his sixth successive return having produced three goals and three assists over his last five Gameweeks.

As for Everton, they make just one change, though Fantasy interest in their line-up is much reduced following the blanks of Gameweek 31. Wayne Rooney (10.1%) remains their most owned player, with Jordan Pickford (7.9%) likely to be the most popular among active squads.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Next week would you start Daniels (LIV mun) or Shaqiri (WHU)?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Shaqiri

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        Daniels will be 2 points anyway I’d guess.

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Bournemouth will concede at least 2 goals in both games. So 2*1 pointers = 2 points.

      Shaqiri might score.

    Patch has gone MIA for a few minutes. Wonder what he's up to. Got himself all excited didn't he?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years

  4. anish10

    Good moves to fund Kane:

    Auba > Kane
    Musti > Smalling/Jones
    Alonso > Christensen

    -4

    Look good?

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Thinking of similar (already have smalling instead of mustafi) but probably need rid of mkhi.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

      Not really liking those moves just to allow for kane

      pity to lose Alonso but ye , hard to find funds elswhere, see below on mine....

      Twitter says he might have farted.

    Everton are TOOTHLESS. It is Pool B-squad come on....

    1. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years

      A team that have gone through the motions for over a decade. Boring to watch.

    2. Point-one short

      Come on Bolasie and Solanke

  10. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 27 days ago

    Bench Boost GW34 Team.

    Doing Aubamayang to Kane to give below im £2.2M short , where do I downgrade?

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Bailly Morgan Tarkowski Lowton
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian Gross
    Lukaku Kane Barnes

    1. Mackans
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Alonso

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        im thinking this also...

        what about this for -4 points ?

        Alonso > Christensen

        Bailly > Smalling / Jones (Whichever looks nailed)

    2. proczell
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Salah

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        no chance v Bournemouth

    3. Feeling_blue
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Lukaku to Vardy

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        no way

      2. Guy Demel
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        This seems the only option unless you ship salah.

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 27 days ago

          im probably captaining Lukaku, especially if City are out of the champions league I think they will be more focused on breaking records in the league and give spurs a tough game.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Downgrade Son to cheap midfielder with 2 games

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        like this as it allows me to keep Alonso...who would you recommend ?

        1. AnfieldLad
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 27 days ago

          Lingard looks the best downgrade for Son but you have triple utd.

          Could consider Bailly -> Christensen as well for -4?

          1. @fpl_phenom
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 27 days ago

            thats actually a very good suggestion, thanks mate!

            1. AnfieldLad
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 27 days ago

              That was my plan originally. but I got rid of Salah and got Kane this week.

              Comes down to Alonso + Lingard vs Smalling + Son

  11. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    Is FH34 really a thing or have I been had?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Not for me, Guv.

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      I'm doing it ... No BB or WC left

    3. Hoofedgod
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      popular for the guys who TC failed with Kane earlier in the season.

      Allows FH GW34
      Field 11 players in GW35
      and BB in GW37

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years

        Too many cooks and all that.

  14. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 27 days ago

    Everton fans must really hate Fat Sam.

    They are safe, perfect chance to try and actually attack and they play like this.

    1. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Don’t blame Fat Sam, they’ve been uninspiring for years.

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      Doesn't want two thrashings in a row.

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      They would’ve most likely been in relegation fight if it wasn’t for BFS. Everton fans gotta appreciate it

  15. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    Who scores higher ?

    Son + Gross

    Alli + Izquierdo

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years

      B

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

    Liverpool are toothless without Salah, Coutinho and Firmino

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      The one they really miss is Martin Skrtel

    2. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Especially with Solanke and Hendo...

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Tbf, most teams are toothless when you take away their 3 best players.

    4. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Definitely toothless without Firmino.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        😛

    5. proczell
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      And Lucas Leiva

    6. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      3 world class players

    7. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Just like Real Madrid are toothless without CR7, Benzema and Bale. Or Barca without Suarez, Messi and Iniesta

    8. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Any team would be toothless with their best players out
