Saturdays’s events conclude at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will host champions Leicester City.

The big teamsheet news is that Klopp has made the decision to keep Philippe Coutinho on the bench, despite flying him back early from international duty with Brazil. That allows Daniel Sturridge to earn a second start of the season, whilst Lucas has to come into to central defence with Dejan Lovren ruled out with an injury sustained in training.

Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City are unchanged as they bid to build on their 2-1 win over Swansea City in Gameweek 3. There’s no place on the bench for new signing Islam Slimani.

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

    Foster Pope
    Valencia Stones Evans Friend Love
    Sanchez Hazard Mane Ramirez Capoue
    Ibrahimović Lukaku Rondon

    1FT, 1.1m in the bank.

    Similarly to LateRiser, I was thinking of going for GW6 Wildcard. Strongly considering ditching Ramirez. Friend and Rondon are unfortunately still an issue. Should I target 6.6m midfield options or reassess on Friday?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Rondon to Tekkers for a 1 GW punt!

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        West Ham look so shaky at the back, they just conceded 4 goals against Watford... I just can't justify taking out Rondon with this fixture ahead of him. 🙁

        1. AnfieldLad
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          No chance a West Brom game finishes 4-2 though...

  1. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    One very happy wildcarder here!
    Brought in capoue, antonio, cazorla, benteke & firmino.
    Hazard (c) costa & williams to go.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Very good job!

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Is Capoue points on the bench

        1. Squires FC
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah but can't complain

  2. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Foster pickford
    Amat collins williams robertson pieters
    Hazard mane cazorla capoue snodgrass
    Ibra lukaku kane

    Or is it too much chasing points

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Slow down!

  3. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Any striker cheaper than Negredo worth getting in for Negredo in the short term?

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Short-term? Iheanacho

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Cheaper than 6.7 sell on value. He's 6.9.
        And i mean 3-4 games not 1.

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          One of the Southampton strikers may be alright, Swansea (H), West Ham (A), Leicester (A) and Burnley (H) are tremendous fixtures attacking-wise. You just need to get the one that starts. 😉

    1. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Deeney? Not sure if he's cheaper though!

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        6.9 - same as Iheanacho and Negredo. But surely he got Negredo for a lower price, though.

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Aye. 6.7 or less then.

          1. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Wilson or Rondon.

            prefer Wilson since bourmouth is more attacking than westbrom

  4. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    1 FT. Ramirez -> Antonio

    Pull the trigger?

  5. Carpe Diem

    So if Carzola is on pens does that mean he is the ARS mid to consider?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      something needs to give...

      1. Hibbo

        What do you mean?

    2. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Long term id say Sanchez or Ozil

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Game isn't just about penalties.

      1. hixen
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        True, but Carzola is 2m itb vs Özil and 3.5m itb vs Sanchez.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Could say the same about Milner vs Pool mids.

  7. TheBusDriver

    Season over for me already.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Avoiding Kun certainly helped 🙂

      It can turn quickly don't be afraid to go against the crowd take hits and risks.

      Stop being so dramatic

  8. 8ball
    • 11 Years

    redmond for antonio or firmino this week? getting the other in the week after.

    redmond, townsend, hazard, barkley, capoue

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Firm

    2. GARYNEVILLESTASH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I just did Redmond to Antonio for a hit.
      I however already had Mane, which affects my opinion.

  9. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    If Lukaku does not play I get Antonio as C and Capoue to play... Hope he does play and does more than 10 pts..

    1. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He will play. Could just as easily be 2 as it could be 10 with him though

    2. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Why wouldn't he play?

  10. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 17 Years

    I am on 22 - 4 I captained Negredo. VC snodgrass so I feel a bit sickened!

    However I did not use a wildcard like many did this week

    I am just curious how the wildcarders did in comparison did many have the foresight to get in liverpool players for example?

    What is the general post wildcard vibe on here?

    1. Slam
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'm happy I got on the Antonio and Tekkers train.
      But it's cancelled out with the fact I took Firmino out, etc.

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Captaining Negredo is a bit dense I'm afraid mate

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Would have done Aguero and Firmino to Lukaku and Sanchez for a hit probably. Would have had Lamela instead of Antonio, Gray instead of Benteke; Redmond Foster Valencia Stones Friend instead of Ozil Cech Williams Masuaku McAuley wouldn't have made much difference though. So overall playing my wc was probably best for me, certainly since I opted for Firmino over Sterling.

  11. Slam
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    TM, have you got a rough estimate of the safety score so far?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      No. It's a weird week with average beating Top 10K.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Top 10k must mean less early on though so they'll fall out of it mostly I'd imagine

  12. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Must be some horrendous scores on here today and that's not even considering the Fenley WCs

  13. Nascimento
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Triggerfinger dedicates his life to this game and then has to read all these posts about the Ronke bloke that isn't even interested enough to post on here, while barely getting a mention himself. Got to be gutting.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ronka only spends 5 mins a week on FPL

      1. Nascimento
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Got to laugh.

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 10 months ago

      triggerfinger?

      1. Nascimento
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        That's not his name is it? Am sure it's something finger.

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Intentional irony?

  14. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone thinking of a template WC team now?

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Good that things aren't so template now, but finding it very difficult to decide on poteential wc squad.

    haz/livp milf/Antonio/haz/capow all a must....so where does ars fit in?

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      In place of one of the Haz

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You go 3-5-2 without Capoue?

    3. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Instead of one of the Haz's?

    4. Da Kril
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Liverpool "milf"? Haven't logged on to Tinder, have I?...

  16. @SirAustinDangerPowers
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Have a team similar to a few people...WC still to play

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Williams Stones Friend BSmith
    Hazard Ozil Coutinho Lamela LCook
    Zlatan Lukaku Benteke

    Main issues Coutinho and Lamela not starting.
    Who to transfer out? And get Antonio or not?

  17. I Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on a 352 with Capoue as 5th mid moving forward? Could have Sanchez/Ozil, Hazard, Mane/Firmino and Antonio as the others.

    1. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I think 3-5-2 is the way to go. So many options for MIDS

  18. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Tadic now has the assist.

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yesssss!!!!!!!!

  19. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Good news for Tadic Owners 😉

  20. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Lamela -> Antonio with Antonio playing Brom and Lamela playing Sunderland.

    Not having it.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Lamela will start you think

      Selling when at home to blunderland maybe asking for trouble yes

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      100%. Pulis will play a CB at LB to counteract it!

    3. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Who does Lamela come back in over? Son, Eriksen and Alli all had brilliant games

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        lamela has been key this season but yes all had good games

        maybe son is my guess

      2. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        But he's also been their best player in the first three games.

        1. Carpe Diem
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          He hasn't really though, had a shocker against Liverpool. Don't think Son is droppable after a 2 goal 1 assist performance.

    4. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I just did this transfer.

      Instant regret.

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Triggerlips must be the only person who stuck with eriksen and ignoring an arsenal mis

    His team is looking mighty tasty next week too

    How does he do it?

    1. Nascimento
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Triggerlips! That's his name

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Buy his book and find out.

      Only £4 at a selection of retail outlets.

    3. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He kept faith in his players. Something I struggle with. He really fancied Eriksen in the beginning and stuck with him.

    4. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Brains & research

    5. BB-8

      Link?

    6. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You have to stick with Eriksen though. That's the type of player he is.

  22. StalkingDwarf

    Thinking about Valencia --> Walker already. Time to get used to not being able to tinker after using my wildcard last week.

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Bad idea. Tottenham have CL to deal with and ManU will keep it tight in the back. Just be patient.

  23. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…

    Happy with 51 pre bonus with Defoe, Hazard (c) and Baines to play

    Team for Gw5
    Heaton,
    Walker, Valencia, Baines
    Antonio, Ozil,

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Not that good. I scored 11.

  24. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    thoughts? a hit worth it to do redmond + gray >> antonio + benteke (-4)?

    foster
    valencia stones souare --- friend pieters
    hazard ozil redmond firmino -- capoue
    ibra kaku gray

    Other options
    A: gray >> benteke...no hit
    B: redmond >> antonio...even tho redmond has a good fix
    C: pieters (price drop tonight) + gray >> baines + benteke (-4),

  25. Rainer

    2 games left this GW and European football along with a weeks worth of training in between now and the next deadline. Don't jerk and make a transfer you'll regret!

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      Plenty of jerking around these parts

      1. potatoace

        which parts? your parts?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Some might have calmed down after that Liverpool display...

  26. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Urgh so I dump Firmino stupidly on my WC and he goes and scores 2. Need him back.

  27. JayBomb
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Are you people starting Capoue next GW against Utd?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      It'll be FPL in a nutshell, the week people start him he'll get book.

      So much this. I sold two heavy hitters just before they exploded. Just have to be patient

    2. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      This. I kept faith with Eriksen & Firmino.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I pray we have Emre back. And although he isn't exactly good, I'd keep Lucas CB over Lovren.
