Double Gameweek 33 continues this evening and there is plenty of interest in both sides from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Liverpool v Manchester United gets underway at Anfield at 20:00 GMT.

For the visitors, Ralf Rangnick opts for a back-five system with Phil Jones handed a surprise start alongside Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

Diogo Dalot is preferred to Alex Telles on the left, while further forward, Anthony Elanga and Marcus Rashford line up through the middle.

That means Jadon Sancho has to settle for a place on the bench.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature due to the tragic death of his baby boy.

Jurgen Klopp makes two changes from Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City, with Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson replacing Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita, both of whom are substitutes.

Roberto Firmino, meanwhile, misses out with a minor foot injury.


GAMEWEEK 33 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Salah, Diaz, Mane

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Milner, Keita, Gomez, Jones, Jota, Tsimikas, Origi

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Jones, Maguire, Dalot, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Elanga, Rashford

Subs: Henderson, Telles, Bailly, Hannibal, Lingard, Mata, McTominay, Garnacho, Sancho

    ManUtd look like they get so excited when they get the ball in the attacking half that they just forget how to pass

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's not excitement, it's fear.

    2. Salan
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not excited. They don't know what is the next step.

  2. Duke Silver ☑

    Get the popcorn for the Keane HT show.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years

      Got my kid with me, won't be watching it.

    Anybody else been an idiot and gone without Liverpool on their FH? 😆

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, me as well. Total punt which hasn't come off.

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yup... Went with Son instead of Salah :/.

  4. el polako
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sunset is done, no wonder Salah feasts.

  5. LE CHARO
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This was nothing but a training session for Liverpool.

    The difference in level was expected, but MU have shown absolutely nothing, probably not helped by Rangnick's punt with that formation change.

  6. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Still people WC’ing out Salah?

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Keane marking out his run up, about to go in hard

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sharpening his studs as we speak

  8. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Yeah I'm gonna wild card to get Salah back and ditch my United assets... This gameweek is a disaster

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

      How would this look? BB in 36, FH in 37

      Schmeichel
      TAA Robbo Cancelo James
      Salah Mount Havertz Foden
      Pukki Watkins

      Foster; White, Joao Pedro, Gordon

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        How are you getting Kane & Son for NOR in GW38?

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

    Roy’s Keane face is thunder. Expecting a walloping

  10. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best option on WC for someone ranked 150k and trying to claw back ground?

    KDB
    Salah

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

      Salah unless you want finish outside the top 200k

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah. Claw back ground with other players

  11. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The Salah to Bruno switch…not my best move.

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

      Went both but captained Bruno trusting pts algorithms. Should’ve trusted my gut and gone Salah

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

      when will people learn bruno is an overrated player in a terrible team? he was depending on penalties last year.

  12. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Worth it to go from TAA, Zaha and Werner to Matip, Havertz and Mateta to facilitate Salah over Jota next week on FH?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      There is a chance Salah could be rested against Everton, and a decent chance Jota starts.

      Although given Mo has scored Klopp may want to keep the rhythm going now.

      I'm not comfortable making that decision just yet.

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

        Rested?? LIV are fighting for the title. Salah was rested in the CL- he wont be rested anymore.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'd be glad if he isn't, he's in my team. Just Klopp has rotated against Liverpool before & there's tougher fixtures coming up.

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          *against Everton

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, I'll take it into account and see how things look closer to the weekend

  13. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba crying off at 8min sums up this utd 'team' of individuals. Protecting his brand I'd say.
    I may be wrong but I'm not

  14. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Watching the match on the Yankee TV is sooooo painful my God!!!

  15. Kannbury
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Another half like that please Captain Mo! 🙂

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

      I’ll take 1 more goal but can’t complain if he gets mire than that 😆

      1. Kannbury
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        1 more goal was just fine 🙂

  16. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Quick question for half-time break.

    Would you sell Kane or Son to fund getting Chelsea player?

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      maybe, if it also allows more improvements

      kane - more in the bank

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

      kane. Son is cheaper & could just as much if not more than Kane

    3. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I second this question

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks. Good reasons to pick Kane really.

  17. The Parrot
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of

    White + Weghorst > Alonso + Pukki (-4)

    All things going well in the matches tomorrow

  18. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you downgrade out of this lot? WC is 2.2 over.
    Robbo to Matip would be enough

    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA Rudiger Cancelo James Robbo
    Salah Mount KDB Coutinho KDH
    Watkins Pukki Gelhardt

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

      Looks like your benching a 6m player each week with that formation. Wouldn't want Watkins and Coutinho, so there's your downgrade.

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Robbo, or Cout or James

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

      That quality sounds good for 2.2 cheaper.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Choice is Watkins to cheaper choice. Get him later when needed.

  19. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The only good thing about getting Sancho is that it was on a Free Hit so the useless **** will be gone on Saturday morning.

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

      he just checked in.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yay, 1 point for me then. Until he gets booked.

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

      Hahaha

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Loo

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

    Brutal to play phil Jones then yank him at half time

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

      could have played him vs Norwich to ease him in

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yanking him at half time wasn't even the brutal part of that equation either. 😀

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

        It’s just cruel on so many levels

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

        Is it contractual, if he's deemed unable to come out and perform adequately in the second half?

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

      It's strange decision to start someone who hasn't started since Jan against top scoring team in the league.

      But I guess RR has good reasons for it. It doesn't work though.

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If you were playing footy manager and all your players had zero stars, would it matter who you started?

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I just think it's probably more about tactical rather than personnel shortage as I see Sancho, Lingard, and McTominay available on the bench.

          1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Meh

            Has he done any worse ghan that lot have this season?

            Let the janitor have a kick

  21. HODARI
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you transfer Doherty & Son > Cancelo & Mount

    Or

    Doherty & Raphinha > Alonso & Mount

    Free hitting 37 so Alonso max 5 games before that vs. Cancelo 3 games..

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

    Who is up for FH34 into the Manchester United double?

    Or better to trust Arsenal and go triple into Chelsea?

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    so tired of Neville moaning

    What does he expect? Anfield is one of the hardest places to come and united are average. I’m not entirely sure what there is to moan about

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Was just thinking the same thought. He's unbearable now

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

      Most teams get absolutely battered there.

      United are no big team anymore.

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

    Where’s the yellow for Robertson?

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

      Refs don't book players from top teams

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        lol

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This

  25. dshv
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Till the end of the season with bb36 5th defender? (Trent cancelo laporte rudiger)

    1. Cash
    2. Matip

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years

      1

  26. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Do something Trent you useless player

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      River dance?

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

      does it matter? Did you captain him? I have TAA & Robbo

  27. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Did Bruno just stop play due to a player on the floor? My god…

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    United shot on goal 😮

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Backpass

  29. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is this crazy for -8 chabolah, Kane & odegaard to James, salah & pukki?

  30. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is this team too spread for a WC?

    Seems like a nice balance.

    Ramsdale 3.9
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Alonso Davies
    Salah Havertz Mount Saka Kulu
    Kane Pukki 4.5

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks okay to me but not a fan of Ramsdale. If you can squeeze 0.1m then that Greenwood at Leeds may get you the odd point.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nothing ITB.

        I prefer Ramsdale to Schmeichel given my chip setup.

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

          Guaita an option too?

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I don't see how Ramsdale is a better keeper than Schmeichel (FPL-wise) full-stop at the moment.

          Maybe if Tomiyasu is back.

          If I were you I'd happily drop to Schmeichel if it saves the 0.1m then use that on the FWD spot & you can have that team.

          If you're not bothered about 3x Leicester, get Jakupavic (3.9m) who is Schmeichel's backup anyway.
