Champions League-chasing Liverpool up against Norris as injured Pope misses out

The final two matches of Gameweek 37 kick off concurrently at 20:15 BST this evening.

Liverpool are the main draw from a Fantasy perspective, with the most-captained player of this Gameweek set to face Burnley’s third-choice goalkeeper.

With Diogo Jota (£6.9m) injured, Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and his two usual compadres in the Reds’ attack start as expected this evening.

Jurgen Klopp has made just the one change from the last-gasp win at West Brom, with Curtis Jones (£4.4m) replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.3m).

Sean Dyche has made two tweaks to the side that lost 4-0 at home to Leeds United.

There’s a surprise between the posts, with Will Norris (£4.0m), not Bailey Peacock-Farrell (£4.0m), lining up in Nick Pope‘s (£5.5m) absence.

Norris’s only previous appearances in the Premier League came back in the 2018/19 season as a late substitute for Wolves.

The other change sees winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.4m) replace forward Matej Vydra (£4.8m), with Dyche seemingly adopting similar tactics to the ones he used against Manchester United.

There was originally just one change apiece at the Hawthorns, meanwhile.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) comes in for Grady Diangana (£5.0m) for the hosts, while Said Benrahma (£5.9m) replaces Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m) for the Hammers.

But there is a late change to the West Ham line-up as Darren Randolph (£4.3m) is in for the injured Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m) between the posts.


LINE-UPS

Burnley: Norris, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Gudmundsson, Wood.

Subs: Barnes, Peacock-Farrell, Rodriguez, Pieters, Vydra, Nartey, Dunne, Richardson, Driscoll-Glennon.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Rhys Williams, Robertson, Thiago, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Subs: Milner, Adrian, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Tsimikas, Shaqiri, Origi, Neco Williams, Koumetio.

West Bromwich Albion XI: Johnstone, Furlong, Robson-Kanu, Bartley, Ajayi, Phillips, Pereira, Townsend, Gallagher, Maitland-Niles, Yokuslu.

Subs: Button, Robinson, Diangana, Diagne, Peltier, O’Shea, Grant, Gardner-Hickman, King.

West Ham United XI: Randolph, Cresswell, Coufal, Benrahma, Lingard, Dawson, Fornals, Ogbonna, Soucek, Antonio, Rice.

Subs: Trott, Balbuena, Yarmolenko, Noble, Bowen, Diop, Fredericks, Johnson, Odubeko.

    Is 17 points off top10k too far?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nope. Just need a little luck.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Need a differential to haul and you'll make that up

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        But also need Salah to blank.. very difficult 🙁

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      With [C] luck and one differential success you may get there

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nope. Captain choice will be critical.

    5. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not impossible but you basically have to captain a very low ownership player

      I’m in almost identical situation

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Leeds fixture I guess, really can’t see anywhere else for a big haul

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Usually a very high scoring gameweek

          I don’t love it but Mane might be the answer

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I think Raph could be good too, West Brom look done

  2. Boomerang V

    2 years, 10 months ago

    My GW was a catastrophe and I was so scared I could not even look at Live FPL. Fortunately in the end Lingard/Antonio combo will mitigate the damage a little bit. But it is still bad: 48 points.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Only 42 here. Even with a captain success. Bruno. Lol.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That’s not a bad score this week

    3. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      48 is good mate

    4. space mercenary
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      40 points including BB. Can't wait for the last game to be over.

      I really need to do well in the last GW to stay within the top 10k

  3. Hazz

    51 points and small green.
    Will take that given everything!

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nice work Hazz

      1. Hazz

        Cheers KK!

  4. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    One of those weeks with what looked a killer team on paper, but an absolutely atrocious score/outcome

  5. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Over the 2,400 point mark

    One final captain gamble to try to get top 10k

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Same here

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years

      Wow

  6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A green arrow despite captaining Kane. Into the top 50K.

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years

    JLingzzzzz

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      never a doubt.

  8. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    There’s a real lack of decent punts for 38. Might get iheanacho back in

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      not sure whether to hold foden or not

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Tough one. Maybe get a hint from pep but Torres might be a decent option if looking to switch

        1. beric
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          seems like out of the frying pan into the fire that move

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nacho or possibly Woods

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm glad I still have him. Spurs looks awful.

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Glad I didn't move him on. even if it would have been for Bam/Antonio.

    5. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They've gotta go for it - will need to win by at least 5 if pool win as well

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, didn’t realise that. Makes him even more appealing

  9. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    that Antonio - Lingard goal killed me this week...

    6k drop from that alone

    1. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That was a crazy goal.

      Gave my rivals 12pts

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        14

    2. Mika-eel
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      ML rival has both. Was sick to my stomach when that went in.

  10. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Pool could finish 3rd and 5pts behind UTD, says more about UTD that.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Tbf they just embarrassed them at Old Trafford with a centre back partnership of Nat Phillips and Reece Williams. That speaks volumes

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        4games in 8 days too though mind. Klopp himself said it was criminal

  11. ManUtdFan977
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    if bruno not gonna start the last game who's a good replacement for the last gwk I'm thinking mount/foden

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mané if you have the funds.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Still after today’s match?

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Why not? Fans will be back and they have everything to play for.

  12. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Greenwood or Antonio for the last game?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greenwood probably won't start so Antonio

  13. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How the f did Lingard get 2 bonus?

    Phillips only 1, should have 3 even without that goal, dominated the game.

    Bonus system needs to get scrapped or changed, preferably scrapped!

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Was very low BPS in the WHU game. When he got the assist he jumped to 21. Then jumped again to 26/27. Guessing he made a few stat-padding passes at the end.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It should be scrapped

    3. ButterB
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Phillips was fantastic. Deserves more than 1 BP, on 39 to Bobby F's 40 bonus..Might still get them

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Can't believe getting a red arrow ... was so optimistic at the start of todays games. Never again!

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Huge red for me too bro

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Small red with 49 pts, still a red 🙁

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Scared to check mine with 37 🙁

  15. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years

    8 green arrows in a row sees me sniffing the Top 125 K after being ranked 1.1 million K after GW 18 (I was even worse off earlier this season)...Triple Capt. chip left...with some luck, I could sneak into top 100 K!

    1. ButterB
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nice one, who are you throwing the TC on ?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks! I honestly don't know...I also have 2 free transfers...Hard to look past Salah at home to Palace, but Antonio home to Soton could be a winner.

      Son's looked out of it the last couple of games.
      Really not-interested

  22. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Leics vs Spurs could be a goalfest. Keep your spurs attackers and Nacho.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Will do 🙂

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Leicester may need 5 or 6 to pressure Liverpool, could be like a basketball game if they get a couple early on.

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      3-0 LEI, Spurs are rubbish

    After bonus points I’m going to be going into the final GW in 2nd place in my mini-league due to transfers made. I’ve made 51. He’s made 50. Level on points!

  24. Toby Lerone
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Me and ML rival level on points 1st/2nd. He had Phillips Antonio and Cresswell tonight. Killer

  25. DannyDrinkVodka

      I had 30.

      Pickford, Watkins, Phillips.

  26. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hmmm what to do with this lot then? Can’t really afford take a hit and 0itb. Fernandes to Manè? Play Lingard or Torres?

    Mendy
    Taa, Shaw, Dallas
    Salah, Bruno, Torres, Raphina
    Kane, Wood, Antonio

    Martinez, Lingard, Struijk, Mitchell 1ft

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years

      Deffo

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Whoops can’t afford Manè

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bruno to someone - might start Lingard over Wood - WH now have a little less pressure and in front of adoring fans for the last game. Burnley been swapping strikers around a bit - Wood coming off early etc.

      Risk bringing in an extra Man City mid for Bruno? They might go off.

  27. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Should have a hot topic about most memorable moments in this fpl.

    Like mine was captaining Bale hattrick when everybody went Kane captain

    And the time I passed the deadline while doing transfers, so I didnt captain KDB for his double gw when other players only had 1

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Charlie Austins hatty for QPR was an awsome captain choice a few years ago.

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      For me, nothing will ever top my Salomon Rondon (C) hat trick.

  28. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance shaw plays ? And Siggy > raph/Harrison/Torres ?

  29. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What are peopledoing with Son? Looked like a disease tonight.

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Could do ok against Leicester that’ll be very open I’d say

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So did they say pre Villa :/

    2. Tinkermania

      Keeping.

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      wishing i didn't bring him in last week - but can't afford to move him i don't think.

  30. zotter
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno to who for last day dance?

    Already have three pool

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Aubameng maybe
