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.

      Steele myself a little grin that he starts.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No surrpsies except maybe Richarlison starting over Kulu. Did think Kulu was poor vs. Milan though.

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

        yeah

        a bit of a rotating spot

        did anyone from Spurs play well?

        1. Oneman
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I actually quite liked the look of Porro, on set pieces as well. One to watch for me

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

            Porro will take over the spot. Was thrown in at the deep end v Leicester (A) with Tanganga RCB, and Emerson has been fighting, but Porro is so much better on the ball

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

      Hmm Nacho and Daka

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

        Probably because Barnes is out and the other wingers aren't great

        I hope that's the start of a great partnership, with Maddison at number 10 behind them

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

          Pereira Maddison Daka
          Iheanacho

          ?

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      No Maddison?

      1. Thanos

      Maddison and Nacho at CB?

    9. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years

      I don't understand the benching of Badiashile, have I been missing something?

  2. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Yeah, there’s much more skill than luck in FPL 😆

    Sold Haaland to get Salah... Terrific

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ouchy

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That was points chasing I have to say, I don't feel sorry for you in the slightest

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’m sure he needed you to point that out.

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

        I owned Salah last gw as well.

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

          I am on wc

        2. Superflymonk
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          But no experienced fpl manager would have recommended selling Haaland to get Salah, which is why I said what I said above, if it was for another player that's less consistent like KDB it would've made more sense. Just bathe in the 21 pts you got from him last week, still boosted your rank much more than the damage done this week.

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

            This is my 10th season, had 2 top 5k finishes. Hardly unexperienced.

            Sold him as I know City aren't great away. Liverpool aren't either, but Bournemouth is much worse and Salah finally started to get into some form. The plan was to sell any of them for the blank anyway and Salah was a greater differential.

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

          Ignore the nonsense above.any FPL content creators did not have Haaland in their wildcard teams. I did the same as you on wildcard. It made sense for the gameweeks ahead as Haaland to Watkins would have been the easy move to make for the blank.

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

            *Many

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

            I agree, thank you

            And I am fed up with content creators. People follow them like sheep.

  4. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How do you shoot that far from the goal posts! From six yards out!

  5. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    WTF is going on?

  6. Kane Train

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

        Not really. He has had a little niggle but de Zerbi said he was on the list to play for this game.

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

    Hahaha Salah! What a thing to come back home to lol 😆

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

    Salah giveth and Salah take away.

    The only dissapointing thing is no one will have captained him with all the DGW players =[

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

    1. Scapegoat Salah

      Most said that a few weeks ago, innit

  14. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah > Bruno in gw 29, easy choice

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

      Definitely not lmao

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

        It is for me. His 21 pointer was a freak result

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

          Why did you buy Salah?

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

            DGW 25

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah better against bigger teams I think is the lesson from the last two weeks, so 29 is ok

  15. BobbyDoesNotLook

    How bad are United?

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

      Pretty good. They thrashed a very good Real Betis side 4-1 on Thursday and should have scored way more with ten big chances created.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Got bent over by this same Pool side though. Makes you think.

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years

          Makes me think that football is a funny game and anything can happen.

    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Jaidon Anthony - 769 quid a week
    Salah - 350,000 quid a week

    This is the biggest wage disparity in the premier league. And only one of them has missed a penalty in this game.

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

      Poor Anthony getting mugged iff

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Hahaha what an odd post

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

      Let's hope Jaidon being fed at the club,otherwise with current inflation he'll be queueing for reduced items at Asda daily.

    4. Hazz

      Are you sure that's true?

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It's true - Salah did miss a penalty...

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

        Pretty sure the figures are right. What I might not be right about is there might be someone who makes even less than Anthony who plays for Bournemouth.

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

          Ooh saw Anthony signed a new contract last month. So probably makes significantly more than that now.

          But at the start of this season, the numbers are right.

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

      Damn Anthony. Get a new agent.

    6. Freshy

      Doesn't sound right. My mate was on £1000 a week (with win bonus) at Sunderland about 25 years ago.

    8. PartyTime

    - Richarlison starts, Emerson out
    - Leicester switch to 5 atb with Iheanacho Daka upfront

    - Frank doesnt start with 3-5-2 away from home for the first time post restart

    The craziest thing about this season is that somehow against all odds Spurs are still 4th.

    Toney's DGW opposition are currently 19th & 20th in the league! 😯 Wish I hadn't wasted it on Rashford's 60 pointer.

      Can’t see Toney getting near Rashford’s 20 pointer, but hope to be wrong with him (c)
