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

    U have to say the Salah cappers were being a little too cheeky.

    Captaining SGW over DGW only works when the the team with DGW is Burnley or Watford not half the PL

    Lanzini what was that

      Let me just delve through the MUD to find the point of this comment.

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

      Doesn’t always work that way, captained Kane last week over any Burnley double weeker and it paid off.

      It’s just depends which side of luck you land on in the given week, and hope your good luck is in the weeks it matters most.

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

        Captained Kane last week too cuz if Burnley but some decent teams with a dgw this week

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

          I looked at them and barring Chelsea wasn’t particularly drawn in

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

          That Villa performance came from nowhere, and against an inform Southampton too.
          Whole thing is just so random

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      For me it was raph, Jimi! Adams
      Went salah , been burnt by previous dgw players

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

    Salah sellers SOOOO lucky.

    Last time I sold the sod he went on a scoring/non blanking spree GW3 to GW7 lol.
    Give me jam!

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

      No one who is playing the game seriously have sold Salah

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

        Plenty on FH did

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

          Fair enough, didn't think of them as "sellers", but then they also went without Trent.

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

        I think a fair few went without on WC
        (Poster below me doesn’t have him for e.g)

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

          He hasn't sold him this gw. Also didn't have him for his monster haul in gw26.

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

  10. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Salah blanking and West Ham failing to score.

    Written in the stars, however many chances each will get to do the opposite.

  11. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    we'll bottle our slightest chance of winning the title tonight...

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Why? Watching this performance makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

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

          The game is not in the bag yet, I know, but Liverpool are attacking, just the second goal needed.

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

      I don’t think there was a slight chance. Be lucky to get top 4 imo

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

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