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

  11. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Eriksen or Siggy in for Firmino?

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

    A) Keep Snodgrass
    B) Buy Zaha

    Both have average fixtures coming up IMO

  13. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Own Siggy and Firminio.

    Do we prefer Origi or Llorente for the double.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Short term, the former

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          There's your answer.

  14. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Vertonghen in for Smith for 4 point hit or nah?

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

    Nacho to Carroll for free?

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Are you really going there?

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

        Always had a soft spot for the big dawg and fixtures are lovely. Not convinced Nacho will start otherwise I would stick for sure

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Yes

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It's abit jerky to get rid after one game especially at home to Watford.

    4. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Think he'll start?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        Yep

  16. Ravager

    RP

    Foster (Japu)
    Walker Cedric Alonso (Amat Nyom)
    Sanchez (C) Firmino Siggy Allen
    Costa Kane Iheanacho

    1 FT 2.7 ITB

    Thinking priority should be my 4th midfielder?

    Allen > Any suggestions?

  17. Fingerspitzengefühl
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Lovren to Cedric?

    Assuming he just got rested because he's back from injury

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

      What I'm debating as well. Can't figure out the most nailed on ManU defender.

  18. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    What do people think of Firmino -> Eriksen -4?

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

      Worth it.

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

      Good I suppose.

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

      Prefer Alli but yeah

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

        Mmm, I was originally thinking this but Toby is back and those set pieces can be precious...

    4. Farnborough's Finest
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Im considering the same move for free. I just worry about firmino trolling me as he often does.

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

    Antonio could be such a great option and would get had Bilic settled a formation where he plays RW/ST

  20. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Is jones nailed? Thinking of moving lovren on for him.

    Also have fer and capoue, with capoue dropping is it better to move him on and if so who for max 6.3?

    Thanks

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

      Zaha imo, but he's got a couple of terrible fixtures coming up.

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

      Bailly back to full fitness soon. Smalling unknown comeback. Think Jones is first choice but will get rotated

  21. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Had to sacrifice Defoe, 4 pts and 0.4 TV but it's nice to finally have Costa.

    Pickford
    Alonso Cedric Pieters
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Siggy
    Kane(c) Costa Nacho
    (Jak, Amat, De Roon, Holebas)
    1FT 0.2ITB

    Right to save this week? Don't like any of the Nacho replacements so I think I'll give him the Watford game

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years

      Yea save

  24. itwaswritten

    No offence but the british accent in the scoutcast triggers me. I remember when I checked for the first time and closed it in seconds.

    xox

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I feel like that about pretty much all your posts.

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Your so pleasant.

      Actually I joke.

      Your not pleasant, your what the British would call an absolute ballbag.

        Seriously who is this guy !!!

    3. Get up ya bum

      lol. They should add a trigger warning

  25. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Heaton
    Amat Alonso Evans
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Allen
    Kane Costa Llorente

    Pickford Snodgrass Holebas Mustafi

    Anything worth a hit?

  26. Maarrrr17
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Firmino is there, he seems to be in good positions, but the play seems to happen around him, like, a 5 meter radias around him, with him not being involved, at all.

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      His style of play can lead to this. He doesn't grab the game by the scruff of the neck like coutinho. He requires the team to work off him, using his clever runs and one touch play around the box.

      1. Maarrrr17
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Needs a bit more aggression. Clever runs and one touch play is very exciting, but i wish he wouldn't be so passive.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Yeah it's his style though. It's what makes him such a good player. Can be frustrating from an ff perspective.

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

    I did Allen > Siggy instead of bringing in Eriksen (I own Kane)

    Please reassure me it was the right move?!

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

      This was a very good move

    2. Maarrrr17
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Siggy is a constant stream of points. Season keeper I rekon.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years

        Many thanks guys. I feel better

  28. Oggle22

    Any advice greatly appreciated £1.8m In the bank and 1Ft thinking strengthen defence?

    Cech
    Pieters Morgan Alonso Lovren
    Sanchez Pedro Sigg Firmino
    Costa Kane

    Bench: Pickford Capoue Williams Anichebe

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

      Maybe upgrade Lovren > VVD?

  29. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    I finally own Alonso!
    Hope i'm not too late to the party 🙂

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

    Best 6.5 striker?

    Or shall I keep Anichebe?
