Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs West Ham United

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

    No idea what to do. Need rid of Austin but no decent replacements and only 1FT. 2.2m in the bank.

    Pickford / Grant
    Keane / Stones / Evans / Holebas / Amat
    Firmino / Sanchez / Hazard / Sigurdsson / Capoue
    Costa / Defoe / Austin*

    Any thoughts?

      I think they'll all concede, so Holebas probably has the most attacking potential... don't expect much from any of them

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Alonso, Lovren, Francis (Amat, Holebas)
    Mane, Sanchez, Hazard, Walcott (De Roon)
    Austin, Defoe, Costa

    The RMT tool says that this is the best move to make:
    A) Austin, Sanchez ---> Kane, Siggy

    However, losing Sanchez doesn't feel right - other options include:
    B) Austin, Mane --> Kane, Capoue
    C) Austin, Defoe, Lovren --> Kane, Anichebe, 3.9m

    I need to rid Austin, and I want Kane (c) this week... any other ideas? Thanks

    Playing on Sun Dream Team, have 1 transfer left this month. So considering four different options as best choice for the next four matches.

    Currently have Mata (£4.3m) Palace, West Brom, Sunderland, Middlesborough. (Nice fixtures but he's only played once in the last 4 games).

    Snodgrass (4.2m) Spurs, West Ham, Man City, Everton.

    Phillips (4.4m) Swansea, Utd, Arsenal, Southampton.

    Alli (4.4m) Hull, Burnley, Southampton, Watford.

    I'm leaning towards Alli but who would you go with?

            The only West Ham midfielder I can afford really who is half decent is Lanzini, and he is on poor points scoring form.

            Annoyingly I'm only (0.2m) off Antonio and have no other transfers left to grab the money from somewhere else.

    Is Antonio continue going to play RB for the next 3 matches? I think that is the most important question to decide if I should bring him in or Payet.
