Mane-less Liverpool face West Ham in final Double Gameweek 24 fixture

Double Gameweek 24 finally comes to a conclusion this evening as West Ham United and Liverpool meet at the London Stadium.

Kick-off in the capital is at 19:45 GMT.

There were over 625,000 Triple Captain chips deployed in Gameweek 24, 43.2% of which were used on Sadio Mane (£12.3m).

The Senegal international lasted all of 32 minutes against Wolverhampton Wanderers last Thursday and he is, as expected, missing from the Liverpool squad this evening, with some doubt over his involvement against Southampton in Gameweek 25.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) starts for Jurgen Klopp’s side tonight, however, with the Egyptian the second-most-popular option for the Gameweek 24 captaincy among the Fantasy Premier League community.

Just over a third of those who used their Triple Captain chip in this round of fixtures entrusted Salah with the responsibility.

With Mane absent, Salah and Roberto Firmino (£9.6m) are joined in a front three by Divock Origi (£5.2m) for this evening’s encounter in east London.

The Reds are otherwise unchanged from last Thursday’s win at Molineux.

Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) and Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) were the only Liverpool players not to blank in that late victory over Wolves.

West Ham assets were much less-fancied for Double Gameweek 24 and, bar Sebastien Haller (£7.0m) and Mark Noble (£5.0m), there was little joy to be had for those backing the Hammers’ players in their 4-1 defeat to Leicester City last week.

David Moyes has made two changes to his team from that punishing loss at the King Power Stadium, with teenager Jeremy Ngakia (£4.0m) making his Premier League debut at the expense of Pablo Zabaleta (£4.2m).

Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m), who had returned to training in the last couple of days, is fit to enough to feature, with Darren Randolph (£4.5m) dropping to the bench.

Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) was a doubt for this match with a knee injury but has recovered in time to start.

Michail Antonio (£6.9m), who made a big impact against Leicester when thrown on at half-time, is not even among the substitutes.

Fantasy managers may also have one eye on events at the Etihad this evening, with the two Manchester clubs in action in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

City, 3-1 up from the first leg, are hot favourites to progress and an aggregate win for Pep Guardiola’s side would see their Gameweek 28 clash with Arsenal rearranged.

Sergio Aguero (£12.0m), Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m), Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Anthony Martial (£7.9m) are among the well-owned FPL assets who start tonight, with the full team news below.


West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Ngakia, Rice, Noble, Masuaku, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Haller.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi, Salah, Firmino.

Manchester City XI: Bravo, Walker, Rodrigo, Otamendi, Cancelo, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Williams, Fred, Matic, Lingard, Greenwood, Martial.

      • Brosstan

        Is Sterling the most mentally weak player in the league? Imagine collapsing so completely over one incident.

      • 4 Years

      What a cack second game, I was on 60 b4 this game with TC Bobby, Salah and TAA. Now all the lucky Salah TCers caught me due to a pen... No way he would score in open play, the only way Salah could get points other than his assist

      3. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        None... Arsenal will be in Dubai for the Winter break

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Arsenal go Dubai from Friday 7th-Tuesday 11th. Game could be scheduled 13th potentially.

    9. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      2FT, have Salah, Mane and Trent.

      A) Sell Mane and get Robbo
      B) Keep Mane and hope he miss only one gameweek.

    10. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      TAA and Salah (TC) with 60 of my 78 points to salvage an otherwise horrendous GW, and get me back within 3k.

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Same here

    11. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      65 without TC isn't hurting much actually

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Are you sure?

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I will play my TC chip too

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        mane was the captain though

      3. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

    12. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Really tight 3 way battle for the work mini league all season. They both captained Mane. Don’t need to tell you the rest :). Just casually strode FORTY TWO points into the lead tonight. Now THAT is what fantasy football is all about

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Lucksacking a 30 point swing. Yep.

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Spot the Mane captainer

        2. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          yeah this tbh

      2. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nice similar to myself from 4th to second and clawed back 20points on top of the league only 12 behind now was gutted Salah couldn't bag me another goal!

      3. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Leader in my ml didnt have Mane or Salah or Bobby for this double, hasnt had them at any point this season.

        Going into this gw he was sitting inside the top 1k, so who am I to judge, but reckon his rank will take a massive hit this gw.

    13. PepSala
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Anyone know what's happening with Lundstram? He's been getting subbed off

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Has finally been found out

      2. YEAH PITCH!

        Back at weekend in scoring form.

    14. Oggle22
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So now EVERYONE will do Mane to Salah whose the next differential

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I’m not

      2. HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yes I´m doing it

      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      83 points all out. Jumped from 800k to 400k in one night. Thank you Salah

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        93 halved my rank as well 100k to 50k

    16. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      My season is going absolutely nowhere. Salah haul changed my arrow colour from green to red. Honestly lucky to still be in the top million.

    17. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah is still a horrible luckbox of a player... so overrated!

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You can be overrated and world class at the same time.

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        - 3rd highest points this season
        - Most points last season
        - Most points season before

    18. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Finally a TC comes in. Think the first time since the chips came in I’ve got more than about 30 points

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, can only remember Sanchez and Aguero one year

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Sanchez 75 was glorious, I think mo got me 63 last year, or something like that.

    19. Cruz88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Did bonus points not get applied for the wolves game yet? Says Trent on 5 points but Anewpla.net says he and Salah got 2 bonus each, so he should be on 7?

      1. Cruz88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ignore this, anewpla was wrong!
