A breathless day ends at Anfield, with Fantasy managers doubtless expecting another glut of goals and points as a rampant Liverpool take on bottom club Swansea City.

The scene is set for Mohamed Salah to bookend Harry Kane’s 17-point haul that started proceedings in the early kick-off. The Egyptian has fallen behind the Spurs striker in the Golden Boot race but boasts an incredible 11 goals and three assists from his previous 11 Gameweek outings. Like Kane, he’s backed by 1.1 million captaincies.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino picked up over 244,000 new owners ahead of this evening’s clash, having produced double figures in successive matches and three times over his previous five Gameweeks.

Jurgen Klopp’s rotation policy is eased as Firmino starts with Philippe Coutinho in what appears to be a front three for Liverpool. Sadio Mane is again the fall-guy as he drops to the bench. The changes are mainly limited to the defence, as Joel Matip returns from injury to oust Dejan Lovren, while Trent Alexander-Arnold starts at right-back for Joe Gomez. Both drop to the bench.

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

    8 years, 21 days ago

    Pope, Elliot
    Otamendi, Mustafi, Jones, Schindler, Ogbonna
    Salah, Coutinho, Sterling, Richarlison, RLC
    Kane, Morata, DCL

    1FT, 1.2 in bank

    A) RLC -> Lingard

    B) Jones -> Alonso

    1. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I'm thinking of doing A very soon

    2. SkeletONv01
      • 8 Years

      You cant afford B with 1.2ITB?

      1. Jimjam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Typo! 1.9

  2. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Hazard-> Silva or Sane?

    Already own Sterling and Morata. Cheers!

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Hold for 1 more gw then to a spurs mid.

      1. justmatt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        This is my plan

  3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    So, my plan is....

    2FTs
    Pope > Lloris this week. Play Elliot.

    And then;
    Hazard > Alli
    Richarlison > Arnie for the DGW.

    Means I’ll have 5 DGW players. And Arnie and Alli are looking well.

    Not sure about losing Hazard though, but he is so frustrating

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Then maybe do Alli > Coutinho after the DGW.

      1. AnderEstimatedHerrera
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        If he stays

  4. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    The unanswerable question.

    Why do I have Lukaku?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Because you’re mental

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        A: For his hattrick against Southampton 😎

        Hattrick of big chances missed 🙁

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      You thought you were being smart but really you were stubbornly ignoring the stats starting you in the face.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        I thought that United would dominate teams. They largely do. Didn't account for the fact their attacking midfielders are greedy p*icks

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Unfortunate call, tbh. He could have done ok over the past couple

          1. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 21 days ago

            Should have had a couple of assists last game, but for some awful finishing

    3. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      because you don't like getting too many points?

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Too much of anything is bad 😉

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Not before next week

          See this is what is dragging u,hope ..perhaps false hope but still hope

            I'm doing OK 🙂 Just doing like looking at him 😉

    Quaner went from max bonus (32 bps) to no bonus at all (22 bps). How?!

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years

      One of life’s mysteries

      1. Hurricane Gilbert

      So angry about this

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Must have missed a few attempts on goal or gave the ball away - it can easily happen and does

    4. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Sh*t happens.

  8. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    Perhaps Pool could get Paulinho in return when they ship Cout to Barca..

    Premier league proven and all that.

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I don't see Barca selling Paulinho
      Maybe Arda will be the one to go

        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Think I might have to, actually. Completely forgot I have Austin on my bench. And I'm going to need another fwd for gw21.

      Haz>Cout and after that Rich>Spurs mid for DGW? 🙂

  11. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Lads, what to do with Hazard? Get rid for Alli is the cool kids move?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      As above 🙂

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years

      Tottenham doesn’t have game in GW21

    3. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Keep for Stoke

    4. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Keep one more week and then swap for a Spurs mid and their DGW

  12. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Are McBurnie and Klavan brothers?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      The real question: which is whiter - Firminos teeth or McBurnies legs?

  13. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Bought Klavan for his dribblings !

  14. Rash
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    So many players I can't wait to get rid of.. hazard richarlison niasse priority but with the double looming I may have to wait a gw ..

    Hazard morata richarlison to son Kane Arnie looks good to me?

  15. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Haz + Christnsn > Coutinho + Alonso (2 ft)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Nope.with Chelsea upcoming fixture

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        thnks

      2. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        already have Morata though

  16. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Who willl you guys go for as a replacement ok kane for 1 gw ? Lukaku ? Firmino ? Someone else ? Thanks 🙂 ps I already have morata

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Benching him.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        My bench is too weak unfortunately

  17. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Jay's Kanexit is a sucess! Richarlison got an assist 😆

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Kane got angry Jay ditched him.. double hat trick

    2. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Egersdork

  18. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Livid with myself. On 54pts with 2 to go atm and Salah playing.

    Would have been such a good week if I had captained Kane over the useless Hazard.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Welcome to my club last gw 🙂

  19. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Got Niasse, Gray and Kane. Who to get for Niasse or Gray?

    0.9m itb and 1 FT

  20. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Cout cap, Kane vc, this should be interesting

  21. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Is saving 2 transfers for dgw the best idea. I can field a good enough 11 with Oggy and Kane on the bench and rlc only active player in bench. Anyone in same position??
    Rotation could kill us right??

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yes. I am doing this with Kane/Ogbonna on bench. Worst case I put 10 players out there. Most difficult decision is who to captain?

      1. AnderEstimatedHerrera
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        If Salah is out after 60 mins then it is him definitely. Waiting

    2. AnderEstimatedHerrera
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Same here!

    3. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yeah I'm doing exactly that

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Gone past caring now.

      The moment I get rid of Haz he'll start scoring again and Kane will blank.

      I have metaphorically thrown the towel in for this season now.

  22. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Is it time to sell Christensen?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Why - he can't help being ill. (unless he overindulged)

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Why? He’s only ill isn’t he? Should play next game.

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Why??? Man flu for a game, great value, reasonable goal threat for his price. You'll just sell Alonso/Azpi for funds a few weeks from now if you get them in

    4. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      No

    5. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Wait for press conference. Might just be a cold.

    6. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      lol no, he just missed with illness, CHE keeping clean sheets for fun.

    7. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I'm thinking about upgrading to Alonso who looks more essential than Haz

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        That eats into funds though

  23. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Zaha > Arnie was a hell of a transfer this week. Get in there! 😀

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Zaha didn't play yet

  24. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Are these four transfers over the next two weeks worth it for a -4 hit? Or should I get Son instead of Cout and bench him for the blank?

    GW21 - Christensen & Haz > Alonso & Cout
    GW22 - Morata & Silva > Kane & Arnie

    DDG
    Christ - Ota - Jones - Kenny
    Haz - Salah - Silva - Sterling - Rich
    Morata

    Speroni - DCL - Ogbonna - Okazaki

  25. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Got Lukaku in this week

    He is one donkey

    1. Differentiator

      🙂

    2. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Think he's more Shrek than Donkey

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Can’t wait to get rid

  26. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Alonso proves to be the differential to boost the chances of winning my ML.

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Robertson chance created +BPS

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Not sure if a square pass 30 yards out = a chance created

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Shot taken means it does, for FPL anyway.

  28. Ëð
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    On a wildcard, currently got:

    Elliot, Adrian
    Otamendi, Jones, Ogbonna, Daniels, Mariappa
    Hazard*, Salah, Sterling, Richarlison*, RLC
    Kane, Morata, DCL

    £0.7m ITB.

    A) Hazard + Richarlison -> KDB + Lingard
    B) Hazard + Richarlison -> Coutinho + Son
    C) Other

  29. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Absolutely loved owning Coutinho these 3 gameweeks!

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      past tense 😮

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yep absolutely.would.love to still own him 🙂

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Nobody cares

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years

        *Hello darkness my old friend...*

        😉

  30. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Salah get a goal pls! Or 3 even.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Only permitted if they are OGbonnas

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      His goals are kind of irrelevant if everyone owns him

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Not if you've captained him they're not.

        1. SkeletONv01
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          This.

      2. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Not for Salah captainers this week (like myself). Needs to haul bigger than Kane’s to ease the blow
