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.

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

    Countinho FK! Come on

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

    On a WC, what further changes would you make here:

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

    £0.7m ITB. Would really like to work in Alonso, but proving difficult if I want to keep Hazard! Also looking at Daniels -> Kenny & Richarlison -> Lingard.

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

      Meh

    2. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I like some of it.
      I'd have either hazard or morata, not both. And swap the one for either coutinho or firmino.
      Would that give you funds for Alonso?
      I think lingard is a good shout - maybe Arnie for the dgw?

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

        Thanks for the advice - thinking I'll go with Eriksen/Alli for the double!

        1. Andy1
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Will there be enough players for next week getting Alli or eriksen now?

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

            Probably not worth it to field a weakened side!

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Haz out for any midfielder around 8m mark and Alonso in. Leave funds then to get Son or Alli in for the DGW

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

        Super, thank you!

  3. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Despite no Kane, looking like 69 with Aguero (or Ogbonna 0) and Otamendi to go.

    An improvement on the self harming urges at 2.30pm today.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      That's nice, 80 with Ota and Sterling with Kane C

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

      Nice score.
      Without Kane I'm sat on 43 and expecting yet another massive red.

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

    Coutinho will be doing well to hold the two BAPs

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      No chance he gets 2

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

      Doesn't he have winning goal baps to be added

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Yes

    3. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      So frustrating. But the correct decision

  5. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    How many disposessions for Cout and Firm?

  6. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    With Kane blank nxt wk (I'm benching) I have only Rooney for nxt week and he's flagged.

    Rooney ➡ Firmino for free?? Have Salah of course.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      No brainer

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

      Absolutely

  7. FantasyNik123
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Are the BPS updated for all the games except for the Liverpool one? (very nervous Alonso and Pickford owner)

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yes

  8. HLaw/91
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    How likely is TAA to continue playing RB? Was he injured previously?

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

      Gomez should come in next game

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

    Morata to Firmino? Can't take this anymore

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      why?

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

        His hauls are killing me. Your Fpl name says it all. However I might stick, since he has 2 "easy" home fixtures in the next 3.

    2. T.Henry14
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I did it before 4 rounds and I'm very happy with that decision.

    3. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      find another way

  10. T.Henry14
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Save transfer or do something?

    Courtois
    Jones, Otamendi, Christensen, Mee
    Hazard, Salah, Sterling, Richarlison
    Firmino, Calvert

    (Elliot, Mbemba, Loftus, Kane)

  11. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Jaysus. Should have dropped Morata for Firmino a few weeks ago

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

      Same. Missed out on 2 hauls. 🙁

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Morata is junk for the price

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Lacazette worse

  12. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    I don't fancy DLC, Big Sam too negative...

    Best budget option?

    A) Gayle (amazing fixtures)
    B) Wilson (decent fixtures)

  13. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    102 from 9, Sterling and Otamendi left 🙂

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Wow

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

        I didn’t really need to change much, but I wildcarded Firmino, Coutinho and Arnautovic in, had 98pts last week.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Average 😉

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

      n1, damn Kane

    4. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      😯

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Outstanding

    6. Fresh_From_Desh

      Well played sir

      1. Pariße

      99 here with the same two left to play. Fun day.

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Well done!

  14. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Shows what a terrible league it is. You'd never see scores like this in La Liga.

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      ?

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

    Guys will Morata get 1 bap due to winning goal?

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

      No.

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Seems not

    3. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Only 2 players I've had since GW1:
      * Kane
      * Salah

      Never left the team.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Lol at you for not having Tom Carroll.

        1. Optic1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          TC > RLC on my WC and then > Pogba a few weeks ago for a power 5.

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Need a big show from sterling. Got away with no kane thanks for Azpi, Salah and Coutinho. Coutinho took it easy last half hour should be alright for next week?

    5. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      89 with Sterling to go.

      Must be a green arrow you’d think.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Until tomorrow

    6. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I'll try again. Only have 10 starters:

      A) Mariappa -> Kenny
      B) Mariappa + Austin -> Otamendi + Quarner (-4)
      C) Hazard + Austin -> Lingard + Firmino (-4)

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

      76 after baps. Hope I can get to 100 with KdB, Sterling and Otamendi to go!

    8. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Could stay Firmino 3(54) TAA and Coutinho(46) after the update.

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

        Coutinho winning goal BAPS?

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

      Who are we thinking is the best replacement for Daniels...

      Azpi, Alonso, Christenson, Ota, Dawson?

    10. Henning
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Best option in order for dgw?
      Guess Erikssen and Arnautovic are moste nailed of them.
      1. Erikssen
      2. Alli
      3. Son
      4. Arnautovic

    11. SoccerBoi69
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      107 projected points with Sterling, Silva, and Otamendi to play. This dog is having his game week.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Look forward to getting one myself sometime

        1. SoccerBoi69
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Patience. Patience and hits.

      2. SoccerBoi69
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        *105 🙁 (having a terrible season, so milking this little mother...)

    12. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      No kane but its starting to look ok. Need to remember that part of the reason of no kane was to have a great team for the blank. Will be happy with a 10k average score for this one, which seems likely.

    13. Saurabh.gupta
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      94(-4) post baps all out

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

      Hazard to Coutinho makes sense. Right?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        no, could easily be benched

    15. anish10
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Hazard > Lingard

      +

      DCL > Firmino

      For free?

      1. Mo Mané No Problems
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Nice moves

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

        4 sure

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Hazard will punish you next week

    16. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      1) Austin > Wilson (would only have DCL for gw21)
      2) Austin, Haz > Cout, Firmino (-4)
      3) Save for DGW

      Fab, Elliot
      Azpi, Ota, Mustafi, Ogbonna, Duffy
      Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Richarlison, RLC
      Kane, DCL, Austin*

    17. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Lukaku to who?

      A. Morata
      B. Firmino

      Cheers
