Gameweek 27 gets underway with a fixture that generally promises goals and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) hauls.

Bournemouth v Liverpool kicks off at 12:30 GMT.

The Reds won the reverse fixture 9-0 back in August and have scored at least three goals in each of their last four visits to the Vitality Stadium.

Jurgen Klopp’s side of course go into this match in fine goalscoring fettle, having demolished Manchester United at Anfield last weekend.

Having been offloaded en masse in the run-up to Gameweek 26 (hello, Wildcarders), Liverpool players are predictably back in fashion: despite the lack of a ‘double’ this week and a blank to follow, Mohamed Salah was the third-most-bought midfielder and Darwin Nunez the second-most-bought forward of Gameweek 27.

Both players start this afternoon in a Liverpool side showing only one change from the one that thumped United 7-0.

Stefan Bajcetic comes in, as Jordan Henderson makes way.

As for the hosts, they gave Arsenal a scare last Saturday and have pushed Brighton and Hove Albion and Newcastle United close in recent weeks.

Gary O’Neil has made three changes from the Emirates.

Lloyd Kelly, Jefferson Lerma and Jaidon Anthony all return, as Chris Mepham and Antoine Semenyo drop to the bench and Jordan Zemura misses out.

GAMEWEEK 27 LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Neto, Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Kelly, Ouattara, Lerma, Billing, Anthony, Rothwell, Solanke.

Substitutes: Travers, Fredericks, Cook, Mepham, Brooks, Christie, Vina, Moore, Semenyo.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Fabinho, Bajcetic, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez.

Substitutes: Milner, Firmino, Adrian, Henderson, Jota, Tsimikas, Carvalho, Arthur, Matip.

    Vvd looks like he’s been visiting the Gomez school of defending

    Liverpool fans thinking they're back because United gave them lots of space to attack.

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

      they scored 7 out of 8 shots

      That's a little fortunate in most matches

    Bournemouth must be ranked 1st this season for losing games from winning positions. Still expect Pool to put 4 goals past them in this game.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Correct on the first part.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I mean, technically he is correct on the second part too. He knows what his expectation is. Whether it happens is another question......

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

      you'll get 20 to 1 on that

    Currently thinking about a seemingly unpopular GW28 WC, then GW29 BB.

    Anything you hugely dislike from the below?

    GW28 (11 starters):
    Ward (bha)
    Chilwell (EVE), Botman (nfo), Trippier (nfo), Zinchenko (CRY)
    Odegaard (CRY), Saka (CRY), Maddison (bha)
    Watkins (BOU), Toney (LEI), Kane (sou)
    Bench: Steele, Shaw, Rashford, Mitoma

    GW29: Odegaard -> Mac Allister + BB (12 doublers + Saka, Kane, Zinchenko)

    GW30: Watkins -> Haaland

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My WC team will be something like this;

      Kepa/Ward

      Chilwell, Gabriel, Shar, Burn, Trippier
      Saka, Maddison
      Watkins, Havertz, Solanke

      Mitoma, Mac Allister, Rashford

      Plan to then go Saka > Fernandes and possibly Gabriel > Dunk in 29

      No Kane because he only has 2 fixtures and he'll turn into Haaland anyway (plus need cash for Fernandes) No Toney unless he gets no yellows in which case i might reconsider - but there's a chance he only plays 1 in 29 and they aren't the best. He's also likely to get a ban of some sort (whether from YC or from gambling stuff) No odegaard cause I want 2 bri mids for their DGW in 29+ potential one in 30/31.

    Based on the "NearU" EOs the only player I don't want to see haul is Haaland. I'll take it.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      From my team, I should clarify sorry. Even Mitoma's "NearU" EO for me is under 100%

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Vvd sitter

  7. lilmessipran

  8. Royal5

  9. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Van Dijk misses an absolute sitter

  10. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ouattara causes problems

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Bournemouth pen denied

  12. Zenith UK

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No Howe isn't at Bournemouth anymore.

  13. Zidane's Floor

    Free Hit question:

    I have 1 FT, but I want to use my FH this week

    Am I right in saying that next week I'll only have 1 FT and my original team back?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you v much Mentaculus

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  16. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How was that not a FK for bou? Pool defense shocking

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

      I guess he stood on his foot but it was a foul

  17. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    billings is starting to look like massive value

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

      compared to say Brennan Johnson where the whole Forest side have 3 away goals all season between them.

  18. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If i make whole changes for my team tonight, I still can choose to activate between FH and WC before GW28 deadline, right?

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The chips*

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Free hit – *return to what is currently is the week after next (game week 29).

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, but if you make changes, and then free hit, your team will return to what it currently is. If you wildcard it will be permanent changes. Any hits you take before playing either chip will be nullified.

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

  19. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    God we're awful

  20. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Still worth BB with 5 SGW for DGW29 i.e. 3x ARS (lee), 1x MCI (LIV), 1x TOT (eve).

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

    Tbf this time last week they had only 1 goal

  22. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    VVD and Konate getting away with that big time

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ref bottled it

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Seen red cards given for that from VVD

  23. Bigbars
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Of course LiVARpool get away with not one but two decisions... VVD not even booked for pulling the man down. that should be an auto yellow, konate feigning injury to excuse the foul he made too

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

      tbf I think his foot was stood on and hence the trip

  24. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years

    Gandhi still standing strong against Liverpool asset cappers.

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

      he also said don't become too distracted by the doubles, didn't he?

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

        No, that was Martin Luther King Jr.

    Lose 5-2, win 7-0 against Utd and now 1-0 at HT to Bournemouth. Ive given up trying to predict football. I just dont get Liverpool at all.

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

      This is what the PL is like though. Remember when ManUtd beat Arsenal's invincibles to stop them at 49 games unbeaten? They went on to lose to Portsmouth 2-0 the next week

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'd say yes, I remember it well, but then I'd be showing my age

  26. DycheDycheBaby

  27. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This isn't surprising btw.. The surprising result was Liverpool winning 7-0 last week

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Correct.

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

      it certainly took a few of us by surprise

      still time for 6 in the second half tho 😉

  28. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

  30. Kane and Ablett

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      solid move

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sure, don't think worth a hit though

    3. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only for a hit
