After yesterday’s dramatic events, Sunday treats us to two more top-flight fixtures with Bournemouth hosting Liverpool in the early kick-off.

Still reeling from the loss of Philippe Coutinho to an ankle injury, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to make the difference.

Fully recovered from a minor calf complaint, Firmino has netted in two of his last three road trips. Mane, though, needs to up his output on the road, having failed to score outside of Anfield since the season opener at Arsenal.

Divock Origi has the chance to flourish as a short-term option up top – having netted in the last two across all competitions, the Belgian leads the line at the Vitality this afternoon.

Bournemouth will be no pushovers, though – over their last five home matches, Eddie Howe’s men have chalked up a trio of clean sheets and conceded just three times.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Looking good for the fourth round of the Cup, haven taken -4,-4,-8 along the way. Might treat myself to a few more hits again.

    Mignolet isn't the best, but he is better than this Karius joker.

    1. Garlana
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Giant Douche or turd sandwich?

      Been saying this for weeks, Karius is only better with the ball at his feet.

    1. La Roja

    Eddie Howe future England manager

    1. Syd.

  7. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Who'd of thought owning firmino and Lovren vs Bournemouth would have got me 2 points...I guess I was lucky that neither got booked.

  8. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Ake on 93% already!

    1. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Once Daniels is back, he's bench fodder.

  9. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Comes home, checks score, takes Lovren out of his wildcard team.

  10. Viprin
    • 10 Years

    Can 43
    Fraser 42

  11. squits
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Would you do Mane to Sanchez? I have no other way of affording Alexis, but concerned that Mane has westham next.

    Swap or not?

    1. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Wait to see if Mane is injured

    2. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I wouldn't

    3. squits
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Good point. I'm just scared about going without alexis again after he destroyed me this week

  12. thep025

    Cedric->Ake allows me to upgrade Pedro to Haz....Worth it?

    1. squits
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Daniels back soon though be careful

  13. Jay_

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        An annoyed Scouse is not great on the ears either...

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Its a site to behold 🙂

    • Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Why's Mata on the bench?? In case of emergency?

    • Ambu
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Nathan Ake tempted to get him. I take it Charlie Daniels is first choice, what's the latest with Daniels?

    • Carlton P

      Foster l Pickford

      Gw16 Thinking wally >can/fer
      Holebas > alonso

      Any thoughts please chaps

    • The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Not a Cook assist. It would have been if Ake scored straight from Cooks rebound, but he hit the keeper and scored from his own rebound

    • FALCAO & MOU
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Planning to bring in Ake, should I or shouldn't I?

      1. jbenny1107
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        No. Wasted transfer.

    • Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Firmino or De Bruyne?
      (no other city/liverpool cover)

      1. thep025
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Good question

    • Niemi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I'm doing Aguero>Costa for free.

      Any of these worth a -4?

      Lukaku>Kane
      Mane>Sanchez

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Heck yes. Both.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Not this week, wait one more gameweek and get Kane in for Hull and Burnley at home

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Average today back to 3.8 points with Liverpool conceding 4

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Mane and Wilson.

    • Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Ake on 93%. Guys, really? Calm your t*ts down, FFS.

      1. Speédy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        he was already there mate

      2. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        15 pointer two weeks ago. Slow price move if anything

    • Aston-villain
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Did mane injury look bad? I missed whatever happened

    • Cruz88
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Why was Ake not playing for much of the season until recently, injured?

      1. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Injuries to Smith and Daniels saw him get minutes.

      2. Halftime
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        He's only on loan

        • 9 Years

        Daniels

    • sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Looks like more hits needed. Dire....

    • ArsenalBankai
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Fraser will top Baps?

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        can is

      2. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Might share the 3 with Can - Can had a dispossession which has still to be taken off.

    • davies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      A) Arnie > Lallana (-4)
      B) Capoue > Can (-4)
      C) Neither, play Arnie

    • Champione
      • 10 Years

      time to get essential Micky 😀

    • Forza Papac

      Sizing up these moves..

      Firmino, Allen, Holebas > Mata, Can, Alonso

      yes or no?

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 25 days ago

        Mata not playing.
