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

    I'm losing patience with Firmino...four blanks in a row.!

    Which option is best:

    A. Keep Firmino (mid, eve, STK, MCI in next four)
    B. Sell for Payet (BUR, HUL, swa, lei in next four)
    C. Sell for Siggy (wba, mid, WH, BOU in next four)

    Thanks.

  7. Tomcooper9

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Austin and Firminho to Origi and Eriksen (-4)
    or
    Austin to Wilson?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      A

  8. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Grant
    Alonso, Cedric, Pieters
    Sanchez, Firmino, Hazard, Redmond
    Kane, Costa, Nacho

    Pickford, de Roon, Holebas, Kingsley

    0.8 ITB

    Firmino or Redmond out for a -4?

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

      Depends who you getting in.

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

        Payet/Eriksen or Zaha

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

          Payet/Zaha is a better option but not worth for a hit

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Would rather get rid of Redmond than Firm for next game... that being said, probably neither for a hit.

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

    Walcott to Antonio?

    I have Sanchez as Arsenal coverage 🙂

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      nah

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      You're gonna want Wally back in two weeks if you do this.

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

    Is it a good time to get in Mane?
    I don't have a liverpool cover.
    My mid is
    Redmond-sanchez-zaha-siggy

  11. Nicks93
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    bottom'd

    How did Ayew look?

    Worth a punt?

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

      He isn't playing 90 mins yet, so I would wait.

  12. Pack The Ripper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Firmino to Payet? Leaves me no pool coverage though!

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

      i'm wondering the same with mane

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I think with Cout out its not essential now

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

      I did this. They look tired and Boro will be a tight game, they made it hard for Chelsea, Arsenal etc.

      Will get Coutinho when he's back for sure, especially if he's 8.0 again.

  13. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    For free.......
    Milner to Antonio
    Or
    Firmino to Payet?

  14. WDT
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    This. Moves. TOO. Fast.

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

      This. DOESN'T. Help.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I got behind after 3 GW's and haven't caught up yet.

  15. D Shield
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Pogba to Eriksen or Alli?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Keep

      1. D Shield
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Playing deep. That's the issue.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          He played CAM today no?

          Could have scored though

      erik

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Grant
    Walker/Alonso/McAuley
    Zaha/Siggy/Hazard/Sanchez/(Firmino)
    Kane/Costa

    Pickford/Anichebe/Holebas/Amat

    With 0.8 ITB Firmino to Eriksen/Payet is an obvious one ?

    Cheers !

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years

      Yes eriksen for noce template

    Foster

    Amat Brunt Pieters
    Sanchez Hazard Siggy Mane
    Costa Kane Defoe

    Jaku De Roon Holebas Kone

    Think my awful defence can hold out for another week??

    Could do Holebas to Jones? Or roll the transfer and just play Amat?

  18. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    A) Keep Gundogan (BUR) for one more GW

    or use FT on

    B) Zaha (MAN)
    C) Snoddy (spurs)
    D) Phillips (SOU)

    1. Ha.

        Yes D
        Zaha is tempting, but terrible fixtures now

  19. ImTheDude
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    ManU or Southampton defender to replace lovren with? Already have spurs and Chelsea cover.

  20. joersherman

    Thoughts? 0 itb 1ft

    Mandanda Pickford
    Alonso Cedric Keane Francis Evans
    Sanchez Mane Firmino Siggy DeRoon
    Kane Costa Nacho

    A) Firmino & Mane to Payet & Mihk?
    B) Firmino to Payet (requires defensive downgrade)
    C) Get rid of Nacho

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Mkh injured. Probably save.

    2. Bored Bear

      A

  21. George Costanza

    We need to talk about Bobby...

    Out for

    A. Eriksen
    B. Alli
    C. Antonio
    D. Payet
    E. Son

    Is Antonio a realistic option?

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

      Same giant problem !

  22. boc610
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    funny to think what the reaction would be from city fans if it was pellergrini getting these results while' trying systems' ,playing zab in midfield and continuing with players like john stones who has a fatal error in him every game.perception really is everything in this game.

  23. JH12046
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Best defender for £6.1m or under? Already have Walker and maxed out on Chelsea players

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

      Rose

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      A and C

  25. Dead Cat Bounce

    Best forward for 8.4m?
    A. Llorente

    D. Other

  26. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Anyone getting Man U cover for the upcoming fixtures ? .. Pogba maybe ? .. Mkhitaryan would've been a good replacement for Firmino but that injury got in the way.

  27. Pack The Ripper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Ok so

    Loren and Firmino
    To
    Toby and Payet

    For -4 points?

  28. Phillips
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Guessing the next scoutcast will be after the mid-week gameweek?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Not sure yet. Might be Tuesday depending on people's schedules

      1. Phillips
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Awesome. Thanks for the heads up!

  29. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Is Vertonghen a rotation risk?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      No. he's played every minutes of every GW this season

  30. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Firmino->Siggy and Anichebe->Defoe for a -4?

    1. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      yes

    2. George Costanza
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Don't you think Defoe has hit and miss fixtures? I'm tempted too by him but this is a reservation. Defo to Sig
