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.

    Got 2 FT's, also own Azpi, Morata & Sterling.

    Would you do Hazard -> a City midfielder & if so, which one?

    Many thanks!

      Not sure I would transfer hazard out this week as they are playing Stoke

    Thoughts on Lukaku + Richarlison --> Firmino + Ozil?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      See how Ozil looks v Palace but I really like the moves

    2. ooooo
      • 8 Years

      tottenham mid instead of ozil

    3. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 8 Years

      Keep Richarlison for Swa(H) surely.

    Thoughts on Son for the dgw? Will come down to Arnie or him in for Pogba for me as no-one else in my midfield is expendable. (Salah Coutinho Silva Sterling Pogba). Do we think Lamela is enough of a problem to make him not worth bringing in or is he worth the risk for his explosiveness even if he does get the 1 game?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Son is worth the risk for me (personally I will be doing Haz/RLC > Son/Arnie).

      Yes - just. Holgate is a transfer waiting to happen though

          No, not sure what's up with Lovren but Matip and Lovren are usually the first choice partnership when fit

        Can someone help me understand why everyone is cramming spurs and West Ham in their team? I get it’s a DGW but it’s not like those teams are playing an extra game! The only benefit I can see is triple captain?

          In GW22, it's 2 games max.

          I agree - need to get 11 players out in GW21 first.

      • Majestic Chanka

        Why is Kane the most bought player this week? Can someone tell the 40k that have bought him that he doesn’t have a game this week!!!

      • Rash

        Looking past the double gw.. would you rather have Arnie in a 352 or Alonso in a 442

        1. Kenneth Tang

          8 years, 20 days ago

          Arnie is better. By getting Arni, I guess the funds you left over could buy you a quite decent $4.x defender, while the same money will only allow you to have RLC in midfield if you go for Alonso. Assume you will play Arni / Alonso in most matches but not captain any of them, I foresee the combination of such defender + Arni would outscore RLC + Alonso. Don’t forget you can change to another $4.x defender based on fixture, but you don’t have alternative at RLC bracket

        Can’t remember a number 10 being the best player in almost every game, and man of the match numerous times, and returning as little as Hazard has

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years

          Great player! Not as an FPL asset though.

          He’s bound to start scoring again as soon as everyone sells him.

          The game against Arsenal during the DGW might be the one.

          Chelsea don't have the same need to rotate Alonso as they will have 3 days off before the next game and after the next game. It could happen, but I would rather expect an early substitution.

        Really stuck what to do with 2 FT's - need to get rid of Rooney at least, but no funds to upgrade to Firmino, and difficult to select anyone to downgrade. Team is :

        DDG - Elliot
        Otamendi - Christensen* - Holgate - Dunk - Mariappa
        Salah - Sterling - Coutinho - Hazard - Groß
        Kane - Rooney* - DCL

        A) Rooney -> Wilson or similar
