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

    Is Origi nailed? Apparently that was the problem the last time?

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      At least until Coutinho is back I guess. You don't change something if its working.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I think he probably is

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Off to AFCON with Wijnaldum soon

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

        Lol

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

        There will be a serious lack of strikers...I've heard Lukaku & Benteke are also going. Considering 4-5-1 myself.

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

        Origi is from Belgium....

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Wijnaldum is Dutch

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Seems to be. Probably worth assuming so while the goals are going in

    5. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Well now Can is out, so he has to come back which means Lallana can shift to the wing, Mane on the other one and Firmino as a striker...

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

        There's always a risk, but he still seems a better option than Iheanacho...bought him for 4 games and even now he's making cameos.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Yea good point, I'm not sure yet, a double up on Firmino an Origi is a bit too much for me. Think I'm just going to keep Iheanacho in there until after the Hull game

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

            Yeah, it could be the best thing to do, but I can't have him and Guardiola fooling around when he's in my team 🙂 A striker's spot is precious.

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

    Iheanacho to Carroll

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

      I might do this

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Carroll or Origi

      This is actually a decent idea. We need somewhere we can express our anger.

    Pogba got his 5th yc today, Will he miss the next game or has he already served the ban including efl's yc?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Think he already served his ban

    2. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Done the ban

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

      Served it already.

    4. Team Cruel

      He served vs WH in the cup

  9. JÆKS ⭐

    Lovren out with my FT it seems

    Firmino can stay another week then....

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Same mate. I want to rage transfer him out for Eriksen for a hit though. Probably not the sensible option though.

      Who are you getting for Lovren?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        If Cedric was just rested, him probably

        Brunt also an option

      What were the questions?

      Don't ask questions when games are on

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Google had the answer.

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      You asked if Origi was going to Afcon just because he's black lol

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

        Yes what's wrong with that?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Oh dear

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

            Most black people are either from Africa or European countries like France or Belgium etc. Which is what my question was and it was important as afcon is close

            If u think that's racist or anything maybe u she learn more about what really racism is

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 9 days ago

              Think you'll find black people are from all over the world

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

                True but most footballers in the premier league are mainly European or African(of not all)

            2. Here's Tom with the We…
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 9 days ago

              Mate please don't dig yourself any deeper

        2. Licious Lizard
          • 12 Years

          Reported hahahaha 😉

      2. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        His dad did play for Kenya

      3. JustPark
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Sounds racist to me.

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

          How so?

      4. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        😆

    5. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      It was a pretty silly question to be fair.

    7. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      haha you asked if Origi was going to AFCON, so you have to see the humor in that 🙂

      Also a quick google search would have given you the answer, although I don't see a problem in that.

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

    van Dijk and Azpi getting me 3 baps.

  13. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Mane and Origi link up well. Firmino needs Coutinho back.

  14. rjcv177
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Settle on Payet.
    Best way to fund him, with Firmino gone (thkx in advance):

    A) Clyne to Reid
    B) Capoue to De Roon

    Grant (Pickf)
    Clyne, Cedric, McAuley (Amat, Holebas)
    Sanchez, Haz, Firm, Siggy (Capoue)
    Kane (C), Costa, Ihenacho

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

      b

  15. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Who for Firmino (SV 8.6) 0.8 ITB
    Mane, Payet, Eriksen, Dele ? Someone else ?

    Cheers !

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Payet I think with the upcoming fixtures, especially if West Ham get a result here.

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

      Mane

    3. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Eriksen if you don't have Spurs cover.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Have Kane !

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

          Hammers fixtures are great, but I don't trust their form plus I'd rather get Siggy

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            Siggy already on board + Hazard Sanchez Zaha + Firm ofc...

    4. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Eriksen

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

      I wouldn't tell you even if I knew.(Own him myself and frustrated)

    6. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Double Spurs can be good but also thinking about Payet

  16. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    If the big dawg survives he's in

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      This

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

      Same here for sure. If he starts midweek do you think he will start again at the weeekend?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        I reckon he will start both but will get subbed early

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

          Long as he gets 60+ mins in each I'll be happy

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Think he'll start next?

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

        Right. Sorry. Late to the Vardy...

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

    Is Mane heading to the AFCON and how many PL games is he likely to miss if so?

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

      It depends on how long Senegal stay in the competition.

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

      They were in the finals last time.

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

        Just joking.

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Wally, Erisken or Alli?

    1. Hi I'm Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      For the party?

  19. JustPark

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Best replacement for Morgan under 5.0?

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years

      Bruntiesta

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I would say cedric but hes gone missing

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

        He was rested. That's the concern with busy schedule. High risk of rotation.

    3. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Cedric and Gibson

  20. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Clyne + Allen > Alderweireld + Erikson/Alli?

    Could even do Iheanacho > Carroll (-4)?

  21. tambourineman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Three consecutive one-point captains, think I'll just leave it on Costa every week from now on

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Do what the captains poll tells you

  22. Tansey
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone have an idea of the minutes Son will get in the next 2?

  23. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Does anyone have the link to the top 1000 ownership page/spreadsheet?

  24. oscardo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Phil jones nailed?! 😀

  25. Jafalad
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    So all the cool kids are buying Muniesa. 4.2. Nice uber buying.

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

      When is shawcross back?

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    So I had already planned Firmino to Payet after this weekend but need to get a 4.3m defender in to fund it.

    Nyom or Ake?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      ak

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      They would go along with my other defenders which are:

      Alonso / Cedric / Pieters / Amat

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Ake for me, although either works well

  27. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    If there was an award for the worst transfer decisions i would win hands down
    Sold hazard before his hauls
    Sold sanchez before his 37 points
    (Now got both back)
    Chose firm (instead of cout/mane)
    Bought heaton after utd game (done nothing since)
    Chose koscielny over a chelsea defender 8 GW's ago

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Also bought iheanacho this week instead of origi

  28. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Firmino to lallana gives me Austin to defoe +0.6m

  29. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Who to bring in for Lovren?

    £6.9ITB to spend as still have Kun money.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Alonso

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Already own Alonso.

        Current team;

        Heaton
        Alonso Lovren McAuley
        Sanchez Hazard Mane Siggy
        Costa Kane Anichebe

        Subs; Pickford Amat De Roon MWilson

        If I do Anichebe > Origi it leaves me with 4.9ITB to shift Lovren

  30. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Henderson is so crap.
