The final match of Gameweek 15 sees Liverpool welcome West Ham United to Anfield in the 4.30pm kick-off.

Both Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are highly fancied against a Hammers defence that shipped five at home to Arsenal last weekend.

Mane has served up points in five of his six home outings, whilst Firmino will be looking to banish a three-match barren run and return to the form that has already seen him register 15 points in front of his own supporters on two occasions.

Divock Origi looks to score for the fourth successive match in all competitions to strengthen his claim as a mid-price festive frontman.

West Ham, meanwhile, have home encounters with Burnley and Hull followed by a trip to Swansea in the upcoming three Gameweeks.

We’ll be looking for signs of form from Dimitri Payet and the fit-again Michail Antonio, then, while big Andy Carroll is named amongst the subs against his former club, having emerged from the bench to net the Hammers’ consolation against Arsenal last time out.

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

    get out of my team firmino

  2. camarozz
    • 11 Years

    Firmino has very white teeth.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      yet he got a yellow. seems legit.

  3. Willber
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Walcott or Lallana?

    Walcott would leave me with double arsenal (have Sanchez) but no Liverpool. Arsenal have smashing fixtures coming up. Is it worth doubling up at the risk of no liv?

    That Mane assist staying I guess then?

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Yes

  5. FPL Footy Show Pod

    Wish I could pay an expert to tell me what to do with my team it's shocking

    1. sminkypinky

      9 years, 10 days ago

      You want my account number?

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Stick with it. Chopping and changing every week stuffs you over. No point chasing last week's points.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Meh... sometimes its the right thing to do though.

  6. drughi

    Last 5 gameweeks has been terrible, firmino get lost

    1. Willber
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I'm the same. He's out

  7. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 10 days ago

      0.2 short for Payet so Alli it is.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        I would rethink Worz. Great fixs. Seemed invisible today.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Man U away is hardly an easy fixture tbf

            1. sminkypinky
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              Agree. Meant great after today. Imo Son and Eriksen looked livelier.

        2. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          If money was no object, you'd get Payet? Think that's my move

      2. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Do you think is worth getting Payet?

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 10 days ago

            I would but 0.2 short so Alli coming in. I could get Payet if I didn't get Origi in but want Origi until Cout returns.

            1. Gooner97
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              Hammers fixtures are great, but I don't trust their form plus I'd rather get Siggy, because i also have 2 Spurs already.

            2. sminkypinky
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              I'm probably getting Origi too unless Andy goes nuts here.

        2. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Which Duo?

          A) Payet & A Smith
          B) Antonio & Bellerin
          C) Son & Bellerin
          D) Eriksen/Alli and Daniels

        3. 404_FC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          i think i will ditch firmino to mane

          yay or nay

          1. S.Agueroooooo

          9 years, 10 days ago

          So we are all doing Firmino to Payet then 🙂

          Now Micky is not an option

          1. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            😀 merry go round

            Micky would be back only for boxing day..

          3. Numb
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Payet scored last

        7. JayBomb
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Pick 1 to bring in for Firmino

          A Eriksen
          B Alli

          Thanks?

          1. aleksios
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Erik

          2. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Eriksen

          3. Leaf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Alli either has no form or last was just a lucky run
            Either way Eriksen seems better

        8. aleksios
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Thinking of doing Austin and Lovren to Liorente and Toby for -4 go for it?

          1. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Yeah might do something similar myself

            1. aleksios
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              Thanks

          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          I actually think that was quite obviously a Mane assist. It's just a shame FPL don't just issue more, and be consistent with it. They rule some assists out for very little. Bit of a luck element to me.

        10. Numb
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          I thought the ScoutCast said that Liverpool midfield is a lottery so you might as well keep whoever you've got?

          1. Sims
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Yeah that's why I'm stuck with coutinho

            Bad advice

            1. Numb
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              I think there are limits to that advice

        11. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          How did Mane get the second assist? Randolph touched it before Origi knocked it in.

          1. Speédy
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Will be taken

          2. Oddjobleff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Same as a spilled shot I guess. They're always given as assists

        12. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Firmino -> Payet & Nacho -> Origi for -4 yes or no?

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            No. Nacho to Origi only.

        13. More Tragic
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Replacing Coutinho with Firmino instead of Mane.

          Major fail.

        14. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Everyone hating on Firmino, I'm thinking of tripling up him, Mane, Origi.

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            With Boro and Everton away?

        15. Kermit Special
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Can't believe ppl are forgetting ozil and his fixtures. Unbelievable

          1. JustPark
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            shhh!

        16. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Nacho -> Origi may be the smartest move now, right?

          1. Sims
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Yes

          2. Garfield1001
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Smartest move? Why did you even get Nacho? For one game?

        17. Speédy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Who is playing central in the why attack,antonio or ayew???

          1. Hi I'm Jose
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            The only thing Im sure of is that Randolph plays keeper. West Ham are so messy, you have to look for Antonio, Ayew, Lanzini where to find them.

        18. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Firmino goes from essential to useless during the last page

          I'm going to get ozil in on boxing day. Ozil and Sanchez = essential
