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.

      Yep, definitely save.

    2. Odikostar

      yes

    For the first time ever, I have two transfers and have no idea what to do. The blank is really causing issues... I would love to bring in Alonso but that would require two transfers and I want two FTs for next week's DGW moves. Contemplating something stupid like Richarlison > Lingard or downgrading DDG. Any ideas?

    1.0 ITB

    DDG
    Otamendi Kenny Christensen Mee
    Salah Sterling Haz Richarlison
    Firmino DCL

    RLC Kane Masuaku

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Same. Feeling a bit snookered, as stuff that makes sense (spurs/arnie) means no bench for gw21

        1. Art Vandelay
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Yep, "snookered" is a very good way of putting it. Can't see a shot to play.

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 20 days ago

              I didn't think it through properly (have Kane/Masuaku like you).

              1. Art Vandelay
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 20 days ago

                I saw the problem with RLC having a tough fixture but feel he is a good long term option.

                1. MTPockets
                    8 years, 20 days ago

                    Thinking KDB/RLC to Silva/Arnie atm. Risk of no bench but otherwise have to waste transfer on Naughton to another cheapie.

              • 15 Years

              I have two already...

                • 10 Years
                8 years, 20 days ago

                well you'll have 3 prior to the DGW then

                1. Art Vandelay
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 20 days ago

                  Not sure if serious...

            You could afford Arnie for Rich in preparation for the double and then play RLC to cover the blank

            1. Art Vandelay
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 20 days ago

              Yep, I have been considering it, but a) I could easily see Richarlison outscoring RLC by 4 points b) shows my hand to ML opponents a week early.

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

                Both fair points but that’s the only way I can see you not losing a free transfer and preparing for the double. Arnie’s also now a keeper with change in formation to make him the fulcrum.

                1. Art Vandelay
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 20 days ago

                  It does sound like a cunning plan my lord...

                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    8 years, 20 days ago

                    Why thank you. As cunning as tears in rain Roy?

                    1. Art Vandelay
                      • 15 Years
                      8 years, 20 days ago

                      Indeed, or tears without Kane.

                      1. Taff
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                        8 years, 20 days ago

                        Ha! Not sure that made the director’s cut…

                        1. Art Vandelay

                          8 years, 20 days ago

                          There are an awful lot of cuts of Blade Runner and I have seen them all, but I can confirm none reference the Spurs man. However, interestingly, Roy Batty was named after the combative Leeds midfielder David Batty

            Ddg > pickford maybe?

            1. Art Vandelay
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 20 days ago

              Looked at that too (I think I have looked at every move) but don't really fancy doubling on Everton defence with their fixture getting trickier. Maybe DDG > Courtois?

          5. Prøfeßör …
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            Similar position.

            Elliot to Adrian (with a view to downgrade DDG after the DGW)?

            1. Art Vandelay
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 20 days ago

              That is an interesting thought. I have Myhill as my second keeper so could just to cheeky upgrade. Not sure about doubling up on West Ham defence though, DGW or not.

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

          Elliot Pope

          Mee Azpi Masuaku Jones Kenny

          Haz Richarlison Salah Sterling Surman

          Kane Firmino RLC

          Thinking I'll save my next 2 FTs, then do Haz & Richarlison----> Alli & Son for DGW

          Thoughts?

          Best three WHU-players for dgw?

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            I wouldn't have three. To be honest, if I didn't already have a defender I wouldn't bother. Arnie looks the best option.

          Telegraph Fantasy Football is so much easier than FPL. My team at the moment:

          De Gea
          Kenny - Christensen - Otamendi - Alonso
          Salah - Coutinho - KDB - Sterling - Hazard
          Kane

          Anyone know what the average is? I'm guessing there are some massive scores around here

          Is 75 after BAPS with Sterling and Ota to go over average?
