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.

    Will Christensen be back on Saturday? Quite frustrating to miss out on one of the few clean sheets of the week because of "illness" -_-

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Probably, but wait on news

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      especially when brought in for a hit

    3. Shake n Bake

      Prob just had a hangover

    4. jay01
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah he was basically rested.. we didn’t need him for today’s game

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Depends on if he had the flu, man flu or Rooney flu.

    What to think of this? Am I laughing? Sure I am. 57, 3 City to go, Kane non owner. comoooooon

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

    2. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Don't be scared of Kane, it can be done 😉

    3. jay01
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Think you’re crazy not being a Kane owner

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        green darts only.there is always a way bro:)

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Have sterling and otamendi left, on for 75 and no kane either, good week! Now to save a ft for the double 🙂

  3. Shake n Bake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Richarlison > Lingard or hold for home game against Swansea?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      I'm holding

    2. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Hold

  4. arndff_
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Any early suggestions? 1FT, 1.2M ITB.

    DDG
    Christensen Otamendi Long Dunk
    Salah(vc) Coutinho Hazard(c) Sterling
    Quaner DCL

    Elliot Kane Arnautovic Ogbonna

    1. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Pissed off with United and DDG. I should have ditched him on my WC previous GW.

  5. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Hazard > Coutinho or Alli?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Neither this week.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Hold for now, Coutinho might be rested, Hazard has Stoke, Alli has a blank

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Better move iyo?

    Pope (Adrian)
    Mee Dunk *Christensen Otamendi (Masuaku)
    Salah Silva Sterling Coutinho *Pogba
    Firmino (Kane Quaner)

    A) Christensen to Alonso and Pogba to Lingard -4 with 0.7m itb
    B) Give Pogba 1 more chance v Southampton and have 2 frees going into the dgw (Potential moves - Silva to Alli and Pogba to Arnie so long as there aren't any idiots causing them to rise)

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      A is just chasing past pts

      B

  7. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Going for Mata not Arnautovic was a big mistake unless Mata has a big game on Saturday.

    But 91 with Sterling to play is good.

  8. jay01
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    94 with just sterling left... really wanna hit 100! :S

  9. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Anyone gonna keep Kane during the blank? I would like to use the FT elsewhere.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Yes. Bench

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      I’m keeping, yeah.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Keeping and playing. Maybe captaining!

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      100%, benching him, would lose too much sv selling and buying back, not to mention two frees.

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        This

      2. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 8 Years

        Good shout...

    5. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Yes, him and Cresswell on the bench.

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    How accurate do people find the FFFix rank predictor?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Been rubbish lately. Will check now.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Pretty rubbish last few weeks

    3. Jar Jar Winks
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      quite accurate

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Fine

      • Rainer

        Thanks!

      • tisza

        goes up and down like a yo-yo during games even when nothing is happening.

        a bit after matches finished it normally settles down. gives ballpark figure rather than accurate.

    7. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      DDG
      Otamendi, Christensen, Kenny
      Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Mahrez, RLC
      Firmino, DCL

      (Elliot, Mee, Mariappa, Kane)

      A) Save FT, Hazard & RLC -> Son & Arnie next week for free
      B) Hazard -> Coutinho (-4 next GW)

      Cheers.

    8. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      80 with Ota and Sterling is pretty decent I guess.

    9. The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      What to do with this steaming mess? 🙁
      Bank transfer then do Lukaku, Hazard, Richarlison > Kane, Son, Arnautovic (-4) next gwk?

      Pope
      Otamendi/Christensen/Alonso
      Sterling/KDB/Richarlison/Hazard/Salah
      DCL/Lukaku

      Elliot/Depoitre/Dunk/Masuaku

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Good plan

    10. Kante FC
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Points hit aside, would you approve of these transfers?

      Out: Hazard, Lacazette, Allen, Milivojevic

      In: D. Silva, Morata, Shaqiri, Groß

      Rest of team is:

      Fabianski, Foster

      Mee, Dunk, Zanka, Morgan, Lascelles

      Salah, RLC, *, *, *

      Kane, Lukaku, *

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        No. Stoke to stoke is not a transfer worth making

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Negative, don't like the players you already have but only like Silva of the players you're bringing in, certainly not worth a -8

    11. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Any Coutinho sellers around?

      Last 2 GWS have been epic!

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Yep, absolutely loving it

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          I thought you meant owners lmao

      2. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Sold him before the arsenal game

        Also have firmino who has outscored him over those two games though

        1. Carpe Diem
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          You could've had both though.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            This

            Selling Hazard has been a blessing

            1. Sims
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 20 days ago

              U have firmino too?

          2. Sims
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            I think if sane does well tomorrow and coutinhogets benched next game it won't be a disaster that it's looking right now

        2. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Yeah sold him for Sterling, I just didn’t want triple pool.

      3. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        I got him gw 17 over firmino been about level wish I got both

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Firmino definitely a bether pick when u consider coutinho alternatives are doing well but firmino alternatives...

          1. Here's Tom with the We…
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            Exactly why I kept Firm and sold Cout.

          2. XabiAlonso
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            Well he's gone and scored 4 in 4 since easy to say now 😆

      4. OLLY G
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        I sold him 2 GWs ago 🙁

      5. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Sold last week for Sterling's 13 points. Bit annoyed I didn't sell Hazard instead but 94 points last week and 99 with two to play this week lessens the blow.

    12. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Long term sane or son?

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Son, better assets in City mid.

    13. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      84, 3 to play Sane, Sterling, Ota.
      Hoping for 2nd 100 pointer in a row.

    14. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Want to get Lingard in but can he realistically play 30th Dec and 2nd of Jan

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Nice

    17. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      All the casuals don't realise Kane has a blank cause he's the most transferred in...

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Getting him in now in case they forget to on New Years day

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          They need to get their priorities straight

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            Fear can make people do crazy things.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Avoiding a price rise after which non casuals will not be able to afford him 😉

        1. Ambrosiana Inter
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Lol

    18. ZakAFC_
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Any ideas for this team?

      Pope
      Kenny, Otamendi, Christensen, Dunk
      Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Hazard
      Morata, DCL

      Speroni, RLC, Kane*, Masuaku*

      2FT, 0.8 ITB

    19. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Early GW21 captaincy thoughts? Salah? Morata? Tempted to C Salah but he can't keep this ridiculous run up every week can he..

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Well he got a decent return this week but he didn't score - he's due next week 😉

      2. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Salah C it is

      3. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Salah/Sterling for me

    20. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      With 2 free transfers and only. 3 m in bank what moves would you be thinking?

      I am thinking RLC to Lingard to play over DCL and Christensen to Ogbonna (bench to have for week 22)

      Pope
      Kenny Christensen Otamendi Alonso
      Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison
      Firmino DCL

      Elliot RLC Fernández Kane

    21. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Hazard and Mariappa to De Brunye and Zanka for free?

      De Brunye becomes Alli or Eriksen for the double.

    22. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Best replacement for Gomez? 5.0 itb.

    23. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Imagine selling Kane.

      For a 12 point hit.

      Let that sink in for a moment.

      It looks like we were all dazzled by the charisma and the clean shaven features and the fresh new voice on the scoutcast.

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

        Tbf there was an element of luck involved with Kane, non penalty in the first game and playing against a reserve defense in the second

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        You have a serious man crush dude - let it go 😉

      3. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
