The first Gameweek of the festive spell begins early, under the lights of the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Liverpool in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season.

Certainly, based on previous meetings, our expectations are high, with Fantasy managers hoping for a goal-fest and points aplenty.

There’s a host of attacking players on show, with Mohamed Salah the key asset and headline act.

Fantasy Premier League’s most popular player is now part of 57.9% of squads and, having returned in nine of his last ten outings, will surely be fancied to inflict further damage on the Gunners. He produced a goal and an assist on his way to 11 points in the reverse fixture at Anfield.

Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are also star turns who sparkled who both Gameweek 18. The pair arrive in north London on the back of double-figure scores with a goal and assist apiece in the 4-0 stroll at Bournemouth.

Sadio Mane completes the “fab four” attacking line-up for the visitors. Having been omitted from two of the last four teamsheets, the Senegalese is without a return since Gameweek 14.

Arsenal’s notable Fantasy assets are few and far between.

Indeed, one of their key figures is again on the bench tonight as concerns grow on the prospects of Sead Kolasinac. The Bosnian was in 863,000+ squads as recently as Gameweek 16. However, having sat out the last three outings, his stock and ownership is plummeting. FPL midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles is given the nod once again at left-back and will be tasked with containing Salah’s threat.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Kola owners could do a transfer to Milner, great fixtures coming up.

    Milner on PENS.. you're having a laugh

  20. My Name Is Pepu

    0-0 would be an absolute disaster.

  21. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    6.1 for Milner !?
    nope

  22. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 40 mins ago

    Coutinho playing way too deep

    1. rivercityransom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 39 mins ago

      that's what's going to happen if all 3 of salah, mane and firmino are playing

  23. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 39 mins ago

    Coutinho close

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 38 mins ago

    Robertson with a delicious pass. Firmino almost got it

  25. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 38 mins ago

    Robertson looking dangerous

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 37 mins ago

      Not called Rober for no reason.. danger is in his nature

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 36 mins ago

        Clearly

  26. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 36 mins ago

    Do people even talk up Roberston on here? Haven't seen him mentioned much. Certainly better than the TAA train that de-railed.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 35 mins ago

      see previous comment ... Lol

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 35 mins ago

      Both flawed in the same way

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 34 mins ago

      he'll be first choice soon enough. moreno will be but a distant memory

    4. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 34 mins ago

      Only an option until Moreno returns I would think.

    5. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 33 mins ago

      I don’t think Moreno will be first choice when he is back

  27. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 35 mins ago

    MN isnt very quick running backwards

  28. Captain Haddock
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 35 mins ago

    Pens down for Milner

  29. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 35 mins ago

    Koscielny . Why don't we own him?

    Man of the Match.
