The final Premier League match of the day takes place at Anfield where, for once, Mohamed Salah is not the runaway captaincy candidate of the Gameweek.

Both of these sides have only one fixture apiece in Gameweek 28 as eight other teams ‘double’, so the Egyptian has consequently only been captained by 14.8% of the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, making him the fourth-most-popular option for the armband.

The Liverpool side shows only two changes from the EFL Cup final last weekend, with one of them enforced due to Joel Matip‘s injury.

Ibrahima Konate starts in Matip’s stead, while Alisson is in for Caoimhin Kelleher between the posts.

There is no Declan Rice for West Ham, who make three changes to the side that lost to Southampton in the FA Cup in midweek.

The Hammers skipper is replaced in midfield by Nikola Vlasic, while Aaron Cresswell comes in for Issa Diop and Lukasz Fabianski ousts Alphonse Areola in goal.

GAMEWEEK 28 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Keita, Salah, Diaz, Mane

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Jota, Origi, Elliot

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell, Soucek, Vlasic, Fornals, Lanzini, Bowen, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Noble, Benrahma, Diop, Fredericks, Masuaku, Kral, Okoflex, Chesters

      Something like that

    2. Royal5

    Was Reece James injured when subbed or just a precaution?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years

      Just a little rest

      Managed minutes. He looked sharp as.

    Thank goodness for TAA because my rank is going to completely tank after today

  6. Botman and Robben

    TAA on bench...

  7. RamaJama

    Keita assist?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2-0?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No, bust the Norwegian live score making mistankes, it seems

  8. Hazz

    Punish them Trent 😆

  9. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ah damn… Kilman over TAA is going to be punished so badly..

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Diaz wins Trent ranger

  11. Butcher

    Trent range

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Might bring Diaz in this week…

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rotation risk with Jota.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Jota was a rotation risk previously and he was still a good pick..

    2. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm bringing him in. Looks superb. They'll all have minutes managed and Klopp likes to use his squad so I'd still be hopeful of a 20 min cameo

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Almost benched TAA for Kilman. Decided against it at the end.

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      what kind of team do you have to bench a wolves defender on a double

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A better team?

      2. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        WC, with GW 30 in mind

        1. TomSaints
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I made that error =[

  14. putana
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    what are these commentators on about, trent was not going for a shot there. Clear pass

  15. Thanos

    TAA SoT

  16. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Posted it during last game but this is now getting hilarious. I have TAA, James, Fraser, and still below the safety score. What a wrong captain choice (Salah) can do!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I still don't get that

      I'm sure you'll get green

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have no idea either what's happening. Team is

        (-4)
        Fraser
        Ait Nouri, TAA, Robertson, James, Cancelo
        Salah (c), Mahrez, Son, Fraser
        Broja

        Currently on 37 points with bonus, and safety score is 39. Frustrating with all the "hauling" players, except Coutinho and James not being captain.

    2. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'll be stunned if there's no more goals in this game

    Trent first bench, sweating on Digne...

  18. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Yesssssss Mane!!!!! 🙂

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      and TAA owner

  19. rupopo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else played Ait Nouri ahead of TAA? Sounds a bit silly now I write it down 😀

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Trent first on my bench ...... on bench boost.

  20. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Absolutely amazed TAA is already on 30 BPS with a solitary assist, that doesn't even include a potential clean sheet.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Plus 2 x attempted assists and a SOT …

    2. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      More now with 2 big chances created in 5 seconds!

      1. moz_1983
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And a goal line clearence!!

  21. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Surely the free hitters got Trent, Salah and Kane no?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Double Wolves defence and Jimmy was essential!

    3. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Of course

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Trent non-owners are shaking!

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

      Enough booze in me I was shaking before Trent as well mate

  23. My heart goes Salalalalah

  25. The Philosopher

    Didn't do Veltman -> Schar because of the rumours. As a result, went with Mee -> Targett. Now Veltman will probably come off the bench for Digne as well for his one pointer. Not a dramatic points swing, but still, a game of such fine margins.

  26. Qaiss

    TAA needs to be at least 9.5m next season, otherwise he’s a lock for everyone yet again.

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They need to revisit player positions and CS points.

      CDM are useless (and hence soTHere has cheap).

      It's ludicrous that Salah/Mane are tagged as midfielders and get an extra point for their goals and a potential CS point.

      There has been so little value in having strikers this season (look at how front-loaded Antonio's returns have been) yet you're forced to have three of them.

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      maybe 8.5. probably will be 8.0
      9.5 too excessive

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He’s 8.5 now and every active player owns him. Too cheap. Anything less than 9.5 and everyone will just own him again.

  27. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone has Trent. Irrelevant points

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      apparently some have benched him lol

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      there are people who benched him or dont have him - those who FH or WC.

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Know a few who sold lol

  28. putana
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Having captain choices makes this game so much better.

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    AMAZING TRENT

  30. jacob1989

    HUGE save by TAA to save the double CS
