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.

      He needs a rest, subbed soon ?

    Richarlison for Lingard for free?

    1. Kun Tozser

      Not before Swansea

    Dear Santa,

    Look pal, I know it's a late shout and all that but I would really like PEOPLE TO STOP BUYING ARNAUTOVIC! West Ham aren't even playing the next game week and these very naughty children are driving his price up which is frankly putting my transfer plans in some peril.

    Please ensure you take a note of these people's names and bring them nothing but over priced and underperforming players next year. I suggest a Hazard and a Lakaku.

      Hazard brought me nothing but lumps of coal... for yet another season....

      Yeah, same thing with Kane.

        We need an FPL article about the blanks.

      • SADIO SANÉ

        I think it's a good thing, I hope they all load up on Spurs/Arnie now

    4. Maddi Son

      After the DGW would you rather have De Bruyne & Austin or Silva & Vardy?

    5. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      nice pick of forward players by scout picks

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

        & midfield & Alonso

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          I mean front players (subs included)

    6. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Is dropping Morata to Firmino worth it if I'm bringing in Son for Pogba and Alonso for Christensen?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Yes, it is.

    7. Dr Dream

      That McBurnie fella should be sent back to the dressing room to put some proper shin pads on.

      It's all very well for him when he breaks his shin bone through being a nob but some other player may have that on his conscience for a while. You can make an horrendous mess of somebody's leg if you break it there...

      Just stupid.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        my friend had really bad injury because of that

      2. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Agreed. Reminds me of that lad, Jack Grealish that did the same thing a few years ago with Villa in the prem.

    8. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Anyone considering Chicharito for the double and forward as a cheap 2nd striker enabler for a power 5 in midfield?

      1. Tiote on Peyote
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        No.

    9. Kloppster

      Rasberry Awards of FPL transfers. My nominee is Kane->Murray 2gw ago. Am I doing well?

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

        I think that may take the cake for the single transfer category, but surely there will be worse hits out there.

      Should we maybe consider TC on Kane for the DGW coming up?

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Given their timing (hours apart) and the fact the 2nd game is a Derby of sorts, I wouldn't.

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        So little time between games is a risk (less effective and might get subbed early) and most Kane holders will cap which minimises your tc

    11. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Have 2FT

      1) Niasse -> McBurnie
      2) Richarlison and Niasse -> Arnautovic and McBurnie
      3) Richarlison -> Lingard
      4) Hennssey -> Elliot (have Speroni)

    12. Patch

      Any chance that if I buy Cout tonight that his sale to Barca will mean a pointless transfer?

      1. gavigan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Why would he go to Barca?

            1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 21 days ago

              only 2 games left if he doesn't go

            • 8 Years

            He will but not until the summer. Would be cup tied in the CL.

      2. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        He won't go in Jan.

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

        Liverpool play next on 30th

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

        Ok I'm gonna make the transfer I hope you guys might that Cout sticks around...

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          See above. He won't go to Barca to sit on the bench in the CL. In the summer he is gone though most likely.

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

            Hazard is dropping tonite so I will bring in Cout if he doesn't get injured tonight

            1. Red Dagger ✪

              • 8 Years
