Anfield under lights has brought us many an historic night of football – can it deliver similar events for Fantasy managers as Gameweek 26 rolls on?

One thing is certain, already the teamsheets have sent shockwaves throughout the Fantasy fraternity: Daniel Sturridge’s “slight” thigh injury keeps him out of tonight’s clash with West Brom, the first of Liverpool’s two fixtures in the Gameweek. The implications of that news, together with real-time chatter as the match progress can now take place in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

Jonjo Shelvey is drafted in to replace the stricken Sturridge who failed today’s fitness test; Luis Suarez will presumably come in from his role on the flank to lead the attack. Elsewhere, Philippe Coutinho makes the bench for Brendan Rodgers’ side. Steve Clarke makes two changes to his West Brom outfit: Liam Ridgewell comes in to replace the suspended Goran Popov at left-back, while Youssouff Mulumbu makes a return to the starting lineup with Romelu Lukaku dropping to the bench. It’s a 4-3-2-1 from the Baggies, then.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Somehow can't seem to stop laughing at the absurdity of it all... Thought I would break the 100 point barrier this week but will be lucky to get near 80 I suppose...

    Need 6 points to win my FFS Members Cup first round and hopefully Suarez (c), Sturridge, Michu and Davies can get me that in the final game of this GW...

    I think have to give a lot of credit to Steve Clark and knowing this lot pretty well now. His tactics against that side of forcing suarez wider, and giving downing a shit load of space in the first half was awesome. Has 5-nil over 2 games to show for it.

    Poor Stu... basically mate your old coach is just saying you are utter rubbish and who can argue. Fed him space... Stevie didn't outsmart Clark, by continously passing to him!

    At least we learned Liverpool are immensely dependent on Sturridge, and that keeping Sturridge over Suarez is a safe move. If you have seen Liverpool with and without Sturridge you know this is the truth.
