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.

    It’s almost becoming normal to expect the unexpected in the PL. No one expected that Liverpool result last week. The bookies are laughing this season.

      Only 198 pts to top 10k and 145 pts to top 100k. New season, thank you!

      1. Baps Hunter

        Reply fail, sorry.

      The only expected thing is Gandhi being proved right time and again.

        And even he had no solution vs Hitler 🙁

      It's true that no one predicted that the Ars would be leading by mid March or that liverpool would be struggling for a champions league place or that city would become erratic despite adding haaland to the squad.

      but other stuff is more predictable. spurs are still spursy, united had deeper problems that could be fixed with just casemiro and newcastle are still struggling for goals

    2nd half
    Bournemouth 1-4 Liverpool
    Salah 1G 1A
    Nunez 1G 1A
    Gakpo 1G
    Robbo 1G

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

      and then he wakes up

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nunez will probably come off.

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

      I think you should post that you think Liverpool will win 4-1 another 3 times just in case someone doesn't know yet

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        good idea!

  3. Scots Gooner

    Over these last two weeks Bournemouth don’t look completely dead and buried

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Going down fighting.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I watched the match against Arsenal and they played well. I’m not surprised they’re challenging an out of sorts Liverpool

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

      They usually play quite well

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

    Van Dijk really looks past it

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He's no James Tarkowski that's for sure.

  5. DMP

    Maaaaaaaaac Allisssteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!

    30 pointer incoming.

    1. Scapegoat Salah

      Never in doubt

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years

        Bout what

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did he score during half time?

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

        Watching highlights of last week 🙂

          3 years, 1 month ago

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

    Kepa, Chilwell and Felix for BB29?

    Or just Kepa and Chilwell?

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

      for a hit?

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

      Chelsea nowhere prolific enough for my taste. Maybe if they start scoring sometime soon!

  8. romperstomper

    3 years, 1 month ago

    bottomed. no one predicted that the Ars would be leading by mid March or that liverpool would be struggling for a champions league place or that city would become erratic despite adding haaland to the squad.

    but other stuff is more predictable. spurs are still spursy, united had deeper problems that could be fixed with just casemiro and newcastle are still struggling for goals

    Always a surprise in the early kick off. Betting shops main sponsors in the majority of PL clubs. Yeah, not suspicious at all. All bettings failing on the first game and then users have to make a new bet.

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

      Same case in UCL games that start 2 hours earlier in the group stages.

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

      just as likely to be FPL behind it. Then users have to use extra transfers to get in the lunchtime scorer

  10. Royal5

    Jota

    1. Zimo

    2. Digital-Real

      for Elliott?

  11. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Please stop posting these stupid lines about the Liverpool goals ..... it's not doing my ticker any good. Just wait and see what happens.

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

      I know. Just seeing the word Mo makes me panic

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

    No Salah... Sorry, I meant Mo Salah.

    1. No Salah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did someone call me?!

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

        Oh wow 😆

  13. romperstomper

    3 years, 1 month ago

    salah went up in price Thursday night and now has a blank upcoming. is it likely that he will come down quite a bit? e.g. 0.3m or so? I had almiron earlier on and he dropped like a stone from 5.8(ish) to 5.4. I couldn't believe how fast he fell

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

      Lots of people already ditched him on wildcard last week so won't be a huge amount of sellers, and a DGW after albeit a tough one on paper

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

        do wildcard buyers/sellers not affect price?

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

          That's right. Hence why fplstatistics price rise estimates get distorted as it can't tell who is on wildcard or not.

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

      Maybe 0.1. 0.3 seems very unlikely

  14. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years

    Cancelo starts!

    Philip Billing looks like a black Andrew Garfield

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

      Didn't see it at first, but now I do

    2. Camzy

              My apologies. This game is making me angry.

        2. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          And it's bloody well lunch.

                3 years, 1 month ago

                Lol, I'm a Geordie living in the south (Leeds) so it's all relative! I'd usually say breakfast, dinner and tea, though to be fair if I was going out for an evening meal, I'd call it dinner then.

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

                  lol, me too. yet I always purposely say it to annoy the soft southerners, and ask them... who served you food at school

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

      Apparently Liverpool have had 5 12.30 KOs this season, haven't won any and didn't score in 3 of them

    3. BeaversWithAttitude

    Salah and Nunez one shot each from outside the area and no shots yet for Gakpo.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Gakpo had a disallowed goal

    Liverpool such a weird team I swear, this, 3-0 loss at Wolves, 2 drubbings against Brighton and 7-0 against United inbetween.
