Gameweek 18 rolls on this evening as Liverpool welcome Stoke to Anfield in a 5.15pm kick-off.

Owned by over 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Sadio Mane’s home form suggests he’s the man most likely to wreak havoc against the Potters – the Senegal international has scored or assisted in six of seven Anfield appearances since arriving from Southampton over the summer.

Divock Origi, with goals in all but one of the last five Gameweeks, retains his starting berth, with Jurgen Klopp set to unleash Daniel Sturridge from the bench once again.

Roberto Firmino also keeps his place as he attempts to end a run of six straight blanks.

For the Potters, Joe Allen is the form player – he’s bagged a goal and assist in the last three Gameweeks as he prepares to face his former club for the first time since moving to the bet365.

Between the posts, Lee Grant has produced at least one save point in each of the last four and should be kept busy again as the hosts look for the win that would see them leapfrog Man City into second.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Firmino missing a sitter.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      Wouldn't really call it a sitter.

  2. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    Origi really is anonymous in this game.

    Lallana and Pieters bench points.

    I am the casual dream!

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      You benched Lallana at home to Stoke?! Why?

    Fair play to llama owners

  5. Canary_Kid

    Pieters - last man on bench
    Holebas - in team
    Ugh

  6. Arctic monkeys

    Lallana everywhere

    Glen Johnson has finally realised he no longer plays for Liverpool.

    Firmino will not score again in 2016!

    Firmino row D

  11. SANTACLAUS

    Firmino misses absolute sitters for Brazil and Liverpool

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      He's got other things on his mind

  12. Count of Monte Hristo

    2FT

    a) Lovren + Mané > Azpilcueta + Lallana

    b) Lovren + Mané > Luiz + Walcott

    c) Mané + Defoe + Costa > Lallana + Agüero + Carroll (-4)

  13. BobB

    Firmino pissed

  14. Psojkee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    Firmino omg
    Should punish all sellers 3 weeks ago, but...

  15. Greenbackbøøg…

    Firminos downfall has been really something

    1. Davidinho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      Annoying thing is he's still really involved, lots of shots, touches in penalty box etc. Take last week for example, ball could easily have bounced off the post the other way to him rather than Mane. His points will come

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 12 hours ago

        Exactly. But he's still going to have his drunken ass kicked out of my team today.

  16. Davidinho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    Come on Bobby

  17. Morgs
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    Lallana is tempting but I'm gonna wait for Cout

  18. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    C'mon Lallana grab another my son

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      This is hardly worth a repost 😛

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 hours ago

        It definitely is. 😛

    Can't believe FPL made a correct decision on an assist. Probably because the player with the final pass wasn't Ibra...

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      Wouldn't finish that sentence with Ibra as his assists were legit.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      At least he used his foot for that assist. 😆

      Add the offside goal and he's the new bloody Lukaku with stupid assists. 😛

  20. darthwader

    Lallana looks great every game for point potential

  21. Psojkee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    Every Lallana points it's an absolutely haul, he plays cm, his creativity/threat with Eve was terrible...
    It's absolutely undeserved points for all kneejerkers

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      Points are points at the end of the day.

      1. Psojkee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 hours ago

        it's stupid logic
        fantasy it's about football, not only points
        i hate words like this

    Origi doing an aguero

    Hanging around in midfield

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 hours ago

      He is playing well though, they wouldn't score without his ball to Mané

  23. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    Over the couple of gameweeks think I'm gonna welcome firmino back into my team instead of getting lallana

  24. Cojiro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 hours ago

    Spare a thought for muggins here who still owns Firmino

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
