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

    Will Benteke rise once more? 0.1 extra would be nice

    1. Taribo West on a free
      • 15 Years

      Planning Benteke+Capoue to Kane+Zaha, will do tomorrow if so.

    Which move would you rather?

    A) Firmino & Iheanacho ---> Payet + Origi (-4)
    B) Firmino ----> Eriksen

    Can a player serve his ban during afcon

    If someone heading to afcon gets red card in his last game before leaving for afcon will the ban be served in Feb when retuns or the games he missed anyway

    1. Futbol Heritage
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      games he missed anyway

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

      Good question... I wouldn't think you can serve the ban while being away, but don't know tbh.

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      No

      Only PL or league cup

      De Roon

    2. Ha.

    3. Bleach †

  9. Cookie Kid

    You have £16.7m for 2 midfielders

    Sanchez-Siggy-selling Moses-selling Firmino-de Roon

    A) Alli and Lallana
    B) Hazard and Can
    C) any other £16.7m alternative

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

    Would u prefer:

    A -Kelechi in a 3-4-3
    or
    B - Antonio in a 3-5-2?

  11. Cruiser23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Firmino struggling since coming back from International duty, fixtures starting to get a little more difficult for Liverpool too, most likely transferring him to Payet.

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

      Payet won't play liverpool every week

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        No but he will play Burnley and Hull next

      2. Cruiser23
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Burnley, Hull, Swansea, Leicester, United, Palace, Middlesbrough... Gladly take those fixtures.

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Tht was my plan, until this talk of a Mane ban!!

  25. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Phillips or Zaha?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      People are saying Zaha has bad fixtures but CPL can score 3 against anyone and he's at the heart of everything they do

    2. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Phillips fixtures are tough after this week

    3. OnlyMessiCanJudgeMe

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Was on Alli for sure, but now don't know!

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Alli

  27. The Hindu Monkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Please help for my two transfers. I have the world to choose from and can't decide.

    4.8 in bank. 1FT but need to make two to get some spurs cover and get Mustafi out.

    Heaton
    Alonso Holebas Mustafi*
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Siggy
    Nacho Costa Anichebe

    Pickford Fletcher Kingsley Kelly

    I know. What a defence right!?

    A. Nacho and Mustafi for Kane and ANY defender. If so who.
    B. Fletcher for Eriksen or Alli. Any defender. Bench Anichebe.
    C. One of the above but take an 8 point hit and take out Kingsley as well to sort out that car crash.
    D. Something else.

    Help. My team looks dire for next week as it stands!

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      A and Walker/Toby/bellerin

      Good luck choosing!

    2. WDT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Mustafi & Nacho > Alderweireld & Kane (C)

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

      A: nacho for kane get Brunt, and upgrade fletcher to anyone who can at least play antonio/snoddy/zaha etc etc take the -8.

  28. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Nacho out for Origi is a waste of a FT right?

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

      Yes

  29. Wizard of Ozil
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    The more you chop and change your team chasing points the worse the result. I have players in my mini league who just plumped for a team and have made zero transfers and they've overtaken me and have a huge score.

    Have to stop making transfers just for the sake of it......! God dam it.
    Anyone else think the same.

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

      So much this

  30. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Which option is best:

    A. Can and Defoe out for Siggy and 6,7m fwd (Origi or Wilson) for a hit
    B. Firmino to Payet
    C. Firmino to Siggy.

    Thanks.
