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

        I'm not one of those posters. Having a laugh at myself. Hopefully can cheer up others a bit! FPL can be stressful

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I don't take it seriously at all tbh as my previous ranks testify. Hope Sa comes good next game !

    Boy's done well in my team for quite some time, that'll do lad. Jota back in soon enough.

  9. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years

    That doesn't look great for Bowen.

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, he looks out for a while

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully not a long layoff. He's had such a great season.

  10. Salan
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Not a light injury.

  11. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    Bowen Jarred

  12. Kodap
    • 8 Years

    Not watching, Salah looking lively?

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lively but touch is off

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Started well, but faded away

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen 》Fraser will be popular

    1. Salan
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Many already dropped Bowen this week.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yh. They will have to prioritize offloading Wolves

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Play 30

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen > Saka/Kulusevski will be more popular because of GW30

    3. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Already did it in a way.

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Bad injury for Bowen ?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looked like an ankle injury. Could barely put any weight on it when he came off.

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Have it on in background. Couldn't tell if it was calf (worse) or an ankle injury. Looks inconclusive but not watching too closely.

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      By his expressions as he was gingerly helped off, yes

    4. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, helped off by two physios and hobbled pretty slowly in a lot of pain. If you own him, time to sell.

  15. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Trent on 30 bps before 60 mins. Absolute magnet.

    I did Bowen to Raph late last night,that didn't look too good earlier today, but now not so bad

  17. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Feeling bad for Bowen. Time to get off the train. One week too late, but I will survive.

  18. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hopefully Bowen's injury isn't too bad and that he makes a good recovery. Has been brilliant this season. Sad to see players getting injured when in the form of their lives.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed. He was putting himself in with a world Cup shot

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

        Pro pundit lol, luck and more time looking at the game is the only difference…

  25. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Why is Palace blanking in GW33?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They can't play Everton on that weekend, might still play in the midweek.

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They face Everton who are also their fabcuo opponents. So one goes through to semis

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Think it's because they played Everton that week but they also play them in the cup and thus, one of them will be in the Semi's of the FA Cup that week.

    4. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ah okay thanks everyone
