Owners of Christian Pulisic (£7.4m) will be frustrated to see their man on the Chelsea bench for the final match of Gameweek 37+.

It is the first time the American has not started since the Gameweek 30+ win at Aston Villa.

Frank Lampard has opted to change his formation for the trip to Anfield, lining up in a 3-4-3 shape with Marcos Alonso (£6.1m) and Reece James (£4.9m) as the wing-backs.

Mason Mount (£6.0m) has moved forward to take Pulisic’s place in the front-three but Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) and Willian (£7.3m) retain their starting berths from the 1-0 win over Norwich.

Liverpool, who will lift the Premier League trophy tonight, have predictably gone with the big guns for this one.

That means Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.2m) are both stationed either side of Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) as per usual.

And in defence, Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) start in their preferred positions, as does Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m).

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keïta; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Chelsea XI (3-4-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rüdiger; Alonso, Kovacic, Jorginho, R James; Mount, Giroud, Willian.

    Someone here is just going to have to tell me which captain for the final gameweek. Honestly can't remember the last time I pick correctly. And I have my TC left.

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Sterling

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Ings

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I haven't had a captain goal since GW28. Since project restart, 3 assists for my captains.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

    4. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I captained Sterling for Brighton and Watford. But not Bournemouth! So lucky. Going Sterling against Norwich

  7. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    What scores more?

    A) Auba Martial Bardsley
    B) Ings KDB Aurier

  9. SkeletONv01

    Used TC this week, on Fernandes, literally anyone in my team got more then 1 point. Like, the worst option xD Used Bench Boost last GW, got 4 points out of it, TC this GW, got nothing. All my Chips were a disappointment, besides Wildcard, thats always useful.

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      The only chips we like come with ketchup or gravy.

  10. DAZZ

    Best AWB replacement for GW38? 5.4 max. Thinking Joe Gomez?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Liverpool players could be duds for the weekend after tonight’s party.

  14. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Why did Chelsea do guard of honor for Liverpool?
    I thought that was already done by City 2 weeks ago

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Respect. All opponents doing it.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Great to see that

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        The young lads needed that motivation

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Everyone kicking.... After that too 😀
      It's weird downward curve of form. Actually they are on the beach !! Can't blame them after winning PL ....

  15. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    West brom goal

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      De Gea's fault.

  16. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    What's the best option for FH?

    A) Ederson + Gomez + Son + Greenwood [City CS + Son against Palace]
    B) Martinez + Pieters + Antonio + Auba [Auba against Watford]
    C) Ederson + Pieters + Antonio + Rashy [City CS + Rashy against Leicester]

    Rest of team:
    Bardsley Aurier
    Salah Martial Dilva Sterling
    Kane

    Martínez
    Long, Bardsley, Pieters
    Sterling C, KDB, Dsilva, Salah
    Kane VC, Auba

    Button, Diop, Williams, Conolly

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Looking good but I'm not sure if Auba will haul against a desperate Watford fighting for survival.

  18. have you seen cyan

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

    Hold Bruno, or gamble on no United for gw38, with Antonio + better defence?

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      No United, they play away and look so bad atm.

  21. SomeoneKnows

    Pope (Martinez)
    TAA, Saiss, Pieters (Lascelles*, Holgate*)
    KDB, Salah, Fernandes, Martial, Pulisic
    Vardy, Rashford (Connolly)

    A) Martial + Vardy > DSilva + Kane
    B) Pulisic + Vardy > DSilva + Jesus
    C) Pulisic > DSilva (Keep Vardy)

  22. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    So is Salah going to classified has a forward next season? or Will Auba be classified has a midfielder.
    Same with Rashford being moved into midfield and Martial being made a forward.
    Or FPL just going to ignore this?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Salah has to be a striker imo

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        I thought Salah would have been a forward ahead of last season.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Salah will stay a mid. Martial to be a fwd.

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        But why. He plays further forward more than Rashford and Auba, not by much, but technically doing the same job. Both of them are out on the wing most of the time playing has wingers.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          CF is the only thing they care about.

    3. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      He is right winger. Then Mane should be forward also.

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      They have to do the same for all of them. Rash, Auba, Salah, Mane, Sterling etc all play in the 4-3-3 type formation that wasn't really a thing when FPL was first established.

      I guess they keep them as mids.

  23. Big_Bear
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Jesus->Vardy I think will be final transfer.
    (K)ane taking the armband.

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    I posted Lampard's quotes about Pulisic that he is carrying an injury, too bad wasn't hulked to help more lads owners

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Did he mention what type of injury? Mustn't be bad if he's on bench.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Hopefully it's bad enough to keep him out till weekend 🙂

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        9 subs tho. Doesn't do much harm listing him as a sub even though he has no intention of playing him.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Hopefully that is the case

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Before deadline ?????

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Not much help after the deadline.

    4. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Not before the deadline though..

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      You mean the much publicised quotes shortly after FA cup line up announced explaining why Pulisic was benched?

    6. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      The one before the FA Cup?

  25. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Allison Trent and Salah come onnnn

    And Liverpool please win..

  26. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Trent masterclass needed.

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I benched him so hope not!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years

        no ya didn't

    Pulisic is the ultimate troll. Let’s you down when you least expect it. Luckily I haven’t owned him since restart!

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      You expected him to save your gw vs Liverpool?

      1. Vazza
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        I’m a non owner mate. It was just a general statement!

  29. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    0-0 would be super

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Yeah

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      CS point for my captain. What utopia is this?

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Just saw Bruno got a YC too. Now I am even more frustrated. Sterling 17 as vice ahhhhh.

    Captained the lowest scoring player
