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

      Ouch didn't expect to go down that much after being green yesterday.

      Mane and Southampton defence must be popular.

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

        22pts today and I went down 🙁

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

      Damn, up 100k yesterday but dropped about 50k today. Stupid Southampton defences.

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

    Bottomed... Attack looks like this currently (1.2 ITB):

    Sanchez/Hazard/Firmino/Siggy/Allen
    Kane/Costa/Diomande

    A) Firmino and Diomande -> Antonio and Origi (1.0 ITB) (-4)
    B) Firmino -> Mane (0.5 ITB) (straight swap - no hit)
    C) Something else.

    N.B. Hull/Stoke have a difficult run of games coming up.

    1. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Team is fine, but if your really desperate get eriksen or payet for Firmino. Mane has AFCON and is facing a tough boro side

    2. Carlton P
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Firm > eriksen
      Allen > Antonio??

  4. jimbobmij
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    I can do Anichebe and Firmino to Origi and Lallana with 0 money ITB.

    Worth doing or anyone else I should consider? Really want to drop Firmino, he just looks so uninterested these past 2 games.

    1. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      As a Liverpool fan I'd be wary of getting two players in, our form is just a little off & mid/eve don't look that easy on paper

  5. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Watch when Firmino gets a haul cause everyone sold him lol

    1. Jake Donahue

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

    choose one. cheers!

    A) Nacho -> Origi
    B) Firmino -> Hazard
    C) both for a hit

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

  8. Martial Law
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Replace Austin with:

    A) Origi
    B) Benteke

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 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 mates !

    1. Carlton P
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Yes, probs eriksen as the extra £s could be mcauley> Toby

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Which transfer looks best?
    A. Firmino > Mane/Payet/Alli
    B. Williams > Cedric
    C. Firmino, Defoe > Phillips/Zaha, Kane -4
    D. Firmino, Williams > Mane, Cedric -4

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

      I like A Alli and C with Phillips and kane. Kane best captain choice next week so C just edges it.

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

    Foster (Jaku)
    Alonso Lovren Amat (McAuley Collins)
    Hazard Siggy Sanchez Wally Fer
    Costa Kane (Diomande)

    A. Save
    B. Suggestion..?
    C. Masked Magician trick to get Eriksen in the squad.

  14. gforce23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Another crappy GW with 59 points. Here's my playing XI. Does this team look solid or do you guys recommend any changes?

    Courtois
    Amat McAuley Blind
    Sanchez Siggy Haz Firmino Phillips
    Benteke Costa

    1. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years

    4. grumpyman
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Crappy? 59 is 9 points above the top 10k average.

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

        No need to get all worked up. He thinks he's being clever with a humble brag. Best ignored.

  16. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Heaton / Pickford
    Koscielny, Walker, Evans / Amat, Holebas
    Hazard, Payet, Firmino, Sigurdsson / Capoue
    Kane, Costa, Iheanacho

    1 FT, 0.2 ITB

    Do you see a way to get Sanchez here?
    Or just do Kos --> Alonso? Or maybe get Özil/Walcott to at least have an Arsenal attacker?
    Is Hazard ditchable for Alexis as I also have Costa?

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

      Hazard to Sanchez
      Firmino to Lallana maybe

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      He was going to be dropped anyway.

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

        So hes out of the 11?

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Looks more likely now, thankfully.

  20. RicardoAVFC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Best replacements for Austin and Firmino? Thinking Origi and Zaha or Payet and Diomande?

    Any other suggestions?

    Thank you

    1. Canary_Kid
      • 9 Years

      Defo not Diamonde because of fixtures

  21. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Austin to benteke?

  22. Canary_Kid
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    GTG?

    Heaton
    Alonso / Walker / McAuley

    Hazard / Sanchez / Siggy / Son / Fletcher

    Costa / Llorente

    (Pickford, Defoe, Pieters, Holebas)
    Any transfer/sub suggestions appreciated

  23. Cato Fong 你好
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Just like to say thank you to YMA who's article suggested Mané over Sanchez & Hazard! First time I've read it and it worked out nicely. Siggy was the one though.....ah well!

    1. Cato Fong 你好
      • 9 Years

      Any Siggy captainers by the way.....

  24. Yome

    Is Jones nailed?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      no

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

      Nope ot nailed with Bailly coming back. Fighting with Rojo for a spot imo.

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

        I thought Mou praised him recently. I think Bailly will take Rojo's place

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

        We've all been there. You still have 23 gameweeks (and second wildcard, triple captain, bench boost) to make things right!

    3. Cato Fong 你好
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Nice, how do you do that, many hits this season?

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

        Appreciate it! I only took 2 hits in 13 gameweeks. I've fallen from 70k to 300k and I knew it's time to shake things up. Last week I bought Costa, Walcott and Austin for -8 and these week an amazing -8 hit. Austin, Holebas, Koscielny > Origi, van Dijk, Alonso. I chose the wrong one between Holebas and Pieters but it is what it is. My other plan was benching Austin and buying Alonso, which would've mean playing Amat and Holebas. Even that would've turn out well I'm really happy because I didn't go for Iheanacho and Cedric and tried something different. This week I can save a transfer and my team looks very strong once again.

        1. Cato Fong 你好

    Firmino to Eriksen, Ozil or Mane?

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

      Ozil long term.

  27. John t penguin
    • 11 Years

    Can we just get a hot topic on
    Payet or eriksen

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

    Which 2 to PLAY for the coming GW?

    A) Allen (SOU) (odds to score: 4.0)
    B) Snodgrass (tot) (odds to score: 6.5)
    C) Sigurdsson (wba) (odds to score: 3.2)
    D) Evans (SWA) (odds WBA clean sheet 2.62)

    Leaning towards Allen and Siggy myself, but Soton could deny Stoke.

    Appreciate any input 🙂

    Who should be my priority for transferring out?
    A. Lovren
    B. Firmino
    C. Williams

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      a

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

      Depends on team, but Williams I would say.
