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.

    Any Watford specialist to tell me what's happening with Mariappa ?

    Definitely droped it seems, since he wasn't even on the squad today.

    1. badgerboy

      He only plays when they go with 3 centre backs.

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

        And they have multiple centre backs .....when the majority are fit he is down the pecking order I think...

    Team

    Fabianski Adrian
    Jones monreal Mee Kenny Mbemba
    Salah Pogba sterling Doucoure RLC
    Kane Firmino Lukaku

    Thinking
    1. Kane to Aguero ( Sell kane for 12.7 , will need to buy him back for 12.9 )
    2 Lukaku to Aguero
    3. Save

    Which would you do?

    A. Kaku > Firmino this gw, then take a -4 next week to get 2 more dgw players

    B. Keep Kaku, use 2ft and a hit to get 3 more dgw players

    1. tafrère

      B.

    2. ooooo

    DDG
    Ota Christ Jones
    Haz Salah Sterling Rich
    Kane Firmino DCL

    Elliot Yedlin Dunk RLC

    Jones + Rich to 5.2mil + Arnautovic next week for the double?.

  5. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Christensen back next GW?

    1. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Sure hope so

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years

      Hopefully

    3. df34
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Hope so, has 5 days to get better , so I’d imagine he will be

  6. Pards Against Humanity
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Need Firm dropping Austin.

    Who should I get rid of to fund it.
    Hazard or KDB?

    Also is Lingard now an option

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

      Haz

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Haz

    3. Rrendan Bodgers
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Doing the same. Hazard to Arnautovic and Austin to Firmino already have Lingard. United looked better with him, so hopefully he's in long term!

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

    Matip on -128 the day he returns 😉 People don't fancy playing him against Leicester 😀

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Numbers bent out of shape because his flag has been removed. It'll adjust soon enough.

    DDG myhill
    Alonso Maguire ogbonna Duffy mbemba
    Salah coutinho lingard Pogba sterling

    Suggestions?

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

      Save for DGW but you might end up playing 10 or less next GW.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah, not sure about any decent Rooney replacements

    2. df34
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Nice very team Red Devil. Hold transfer?

    3. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Save FT, or Rooney -> Wilson

  9. Runaway
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Ok I am keeping Hazard and Richarlison one more week and then make:

    Hazard + Richarlison + Aguero > Alli + Arnautovic + Kane for -4

    Is that a good move and sufficient cover for DGW considering I also have Ogbonna?

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

      Good

    2. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Seems decent. Getting rid of Haz for DGW, probably for Arnie.

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

    93 with Ota and Sterling to go. Would love to make a century.

    1. Robe Wan

    2. Epic Fail

      I'm sure you would.

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

    Decent GW so far, 82 points after bonus, and still Sterling, Otamendi and Zaha left to play.

    Foster
    Mee - Otamendi - Hegazi
    Salah - Richarlison - Sterling - Zaha - Carroll
    Agüero - Firmino

    Bench: Elliot, Carroll, Mariappa, Smalling.

    1FT, 0.9M ITB.

    What should my plan forward be? What's the status on Smalling?

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

      Oops, have Kane, not Agüero.

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

    FYI - Alli has pretty major Lamela rotation risk heading into the DGW. Would think Alli is kept fresh to play vs. WHU

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Not sure I buy that

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

        Proved recently, though, when Alli was benched for Lamela

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

      You think Alli is more at risk of rotation than Son?

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

        I do - just going by patterns of subs and who is most effective. Eriksen least exposed

  13. JoeSoap

    A. Luk>Firm
    B. Luk/Gomez>Firm/Ota
    C. Luk/Maguire>Firm/Ota
    D. Save

    Whats this about Depoitre only playing away?
    Should I start DCL or Depoitre?

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

      He started 5 games at home and 7 games away...

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

        He will definitely start on GW21.

      Hoping to be able to say the same about wednesday night alcohol.

  16. choppers13
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Worth doing Austin, hazard and Daniels to firminho, lingard and Alonso?

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

      I'd say yes but transfers right now with DGW coming and rotation are very precious.

    Didn't see the match , how was Hazard today?

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

      Aparently he was the best player on the pitch once again.

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

      Good as always. Had a huge chance blocked on the line. Also should have had 2 assists if players like bakayoko could finish. He's been incredibly unlucky those last few gameweeks..

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

    Think he meant to say BAPs out 😉

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years

      Or he's getting his Xmas present now

  20. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years

    Hazard bound to go on a run of goals after everyone sells him for the double!

  21. Return Of Chamakh
    • 12 Years

    Any idea when bonus and league tables are likely to be updated tonight? I forget how it tends to go over the festive period!

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Always later than you think

    2. TorresMagic™

    3. badgerboy

      Bonus just done. Hour or so.

  22. GXNG
    • 9 Years

    Do we think Son plays both games in DGW?

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      one from bench yes

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

    What to do with this lot:

    2FT 0.7 ITB

    DDG
    Otamendi Christiensen Kenny
    Salah Sterling RLC Hazard Richarlison
    Morata DCL

    Elliott--Ogbonna--Kane--Mariappa

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

      Link is broken.
      Lose Mariappa.

  24. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Do folk think son will play both games in the dgw?

    Unlikely surely??

    1. gunner 2727
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Exactly my thoughts below

    Pope
    Jones-Christensen-Otamendi-Long
    Richarlison-Hazard-Salah-Sterling
    Morata-DCL

    Elliot RLC Ogbonna* Kane*
    0.4itb 2FT

    What would you do?
    A. Long - Klavan
    B. Other

  26. gunner 2727
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Question. Lots talking about say haz RLC out for son Arno. But really... (and I know haz not performing) is it really worth changing a team that's working for you for two games in two days that someone like son is likely not to start in both? Love my team bar keeper and really don't wanna up root it to react to one small double. Thoughts? (I'm usually pretty aggressive too!)

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

      I'm not sure Hazard is working.

      1. gunner 2727
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Agree but stoke home next week, could all change

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Think I'll be punting on them (arnie/son), but yes a risk.

      • tafrère
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Son likely to get minutes in both games of GW22 though.

      • UpAndAway
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Hazard has scored goals in just 3 of 17 games. Just one assist in his past 5 games. Not worth it IMO. Eriksen for mine.

      • Kenneth Tang
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        It will be a wonderful transfer. Knowing Son may only start one game, but he is likely to out-score Hazard in terms of the ease of the two fixtures. Arni is expected to outscore RLC bar a far mile. Adding up the two factors, and in case you have 2 FT, it will be a no-brainier to do. Even better will be getting Alli / Eriksen instead of Son if the funds allow.

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years

      15 baps added.
      104 all out confirmed.

      Would not hurt if City had a very bad game.

      1. Pompel
        • 11 Years

        Awesome score, well played!

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

        Lingard a good option for Groos/Richarlison?

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

          If he carries on doing what he's doing, yes.

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years

            • 16 Years
            8 years, 21 days ago

            then you would just be point chasing, I was close to bringing him in for Rich but fear or rotation, turns out i was right however he came on and bagged 2 anyway

        2. JoeSoap
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Seems to be on current form. Hard to ignore.

      5. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Courtois
        Azpi Otamendi Jones Mee Dunk
        Salah Hazard Sterling Lingard
        Rooney

        Elliot Gray Ladopo Kane

        Save or not?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
