Saturday continues with a quartet of matches, featuring Arsenal and an array of budget and mid-price Fantasy talent.

The Gunners trip to a resolute Aston Villa will likely be the headline act on show: Arsene Wenger’s men will look to recover from the midweek Champions League defeat to Dortmund against Paul Lambert’s resurgent midlands outfit. Alongside that, we’ve an enthralling encounter at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea and Southampton prepare to press and weave patterns around the South Wales pitch.

Elsewhere, Alan Pardew will look to extend his stay of execution at Newcastle via a winnable home clash with Hull City, while Burnley go in search of their first three points back in the top flight as Gus Poyet’s erratic Sunderland unit pull up to Turf Moor.

We may well be discussing some very meagre Fantasy points tallies by 4.50, as we prepare to make our way to East London to check in on West Ham’s progress, as they host Brendan Rodgers’ title pretenders, Liverpool.

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

    God damn Liverpool, why are they so bad?

    C'mon reds fans, let's hear.....

    1. amol
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Defence

    2. Lawrø
      12 years, 1 month ago

      We're cursed.

    3. sweglet
      12 years, 1 month ago

      sakho is useless

    4. Saint Domingo
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No rat to bail them out this season,plus a garbage defence = Average team

    5. RoysCallerAnne

      Because Rodgers doesn't know how to coach defensive players or systems.
      Simple.

      1. Lawrø
        12 years, 1 month ago

        That's a fair assessment

      2. ralfb
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully they get moyes in

      3. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Wasn't he very good defensively at Swansea?

    6. RÏɠBY
      12 years, 1 month ago

      gerrard and henderson had a bad game

    7. The Chosen One...
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No Suarez

    8. Djerbil
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No Suarez No Party

    9. Davido989
      12 years, 1 month ago

      a) Defence
      B) No Sturridge + Allen
      C) Predictability

    10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      12 years, 1 month ago

      defence, tactics, players

    11. Djerbil
      12 years, 1 month ago

      because last season was a fluke

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        12 years, 1 month ago

        it really wasnt 🙄

    12. tm245
      12 years, 1 month ago

      They lost an irreplaceable player. Ten Balos and Lamberts cannot equal who Suarez was last season.

    13. Lawrø
      12 years, 1 month ago

      The bizarre thing is I don't think our defenders are bad as individuals, they just seem incapable of performing as a cohesive unit.

    14. applebonkers

      not enough diving

      1. Lawrø
        12 years, 1 month ago

        We didn't even get a penalty that game, shocking performance from our divers 😉

    15. RyanC
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Last season was an anomaly. Back to business as usual.

    16. Somalion
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Found out.

    17. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Nice sound reasoning

      I vow never to bet Liverpool ever again

    18. Licky
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Second game in a row we were pressed early, started on the back foot, conceded and then had trouble breaking a team down.

    at least the calls of man utd bias for not predicting liverpool top 4 might ease now

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Even man united fans on here admitted that those predictions were bias.

      1. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Qinning the title was biased, not top 4 imo.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs, Liverpool and Everton are still better. 😉

  4. skodaole2
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Still early and having not any injuries, the thoughs of taking WC must be wrong. However not owning any Chelsea or Southampton players before next GW doesnt seem good. What would you do?

    Mannone, Krul
    Moreno, Bardsley, Caulker, Rangel, Moore
    Mata, Ramsey, Lamela, SIgurdsson, Albrighton
    Adebayor, Rooney, Lukaku

    1 FT, 1.9 in Bank

    A) Wildcard
    B) Moreno + Lamela -> Clyne + Hazard (-4)
    C) Moreno -> Ivanovic
    D) Mata/ Ramsey -> Hazard
    E) Anything else

    1. bluenose11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Il Gladiatore
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno to PvA and Adebayor to Costa

      1. Il Gladiatore
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Or Clyne/Bertrand if you can afford it

    3. Isco Disco
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Get Costa!

    4. skodaole2
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Ok i think i ll do it and get Costa though I dont trust Mourinho he may rest him before the CL game. Thanks for the comments

  5. JK - Cønt ⭐

    BAPs love Pool mids

    Gerrard 2 in the loss to City

    Sterling 3 today

    at least Sterling actually did something,

  6. Chambo
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Özil covered more ground per minute against Dortmund than Alexis and today he covered more ground than anybody from the Arsenal team. Keep it up Özil 🙂

    1. RÏɠBY
      12 years, 1 month ago

      about time he got in the game

  7. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    12 years, 1 month ago

    moreno is a bit annoying, still so many times every match he gets you on the edge of your fpl seat though. if only borini looked up

    1. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He's like Caulker. In a crap defence but get's me flinching every match.

      Still won't buy either.

  8. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Caulker's price likely to go down tonight, gents?

    1. Whazza
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt it

  9. The Machine
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Saki with a couple of dispossessions and fouls. He'll lose just around as many as he'll gain for the winning goal. Sterling should be okay for 3 baps

    1. Djerbil
      12 years, 1 month ago

      cheers

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      hope so, sterling normally bad for bps so 3 would be great

  10. Davros
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Can anybody help- where do you see the bps info- members only??

    I dont think scores mean too much today, scanning the casual leagues I'm in most people have only 3 or 4 played.

  14. Frank Black
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Moreno out Bertrand in? No brainer?

    1. alfast1c
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Naaah wait

      1. Frank Black
        12 years, 1 month ago

        For what? For Liverpool to concede even more goals?

    2. Whazza
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Bertrand will rise anytime soon I think.

  15. Captain Shirokov
    12 years, 1 month ago

    33 with 5 (plus captain) to go is good, innit? 😀

          12 years, 1 month ago

          nah, but people pick up on his stuff then tweet.

          just found this btw:

          Gordon Simpson ‏@gordonsimpson 1h
          Koeman said medical staff told him injuries to W-Prowse and Yoshida are "not big". Hopes Alderweireld will be back next week too. #saintsfc

          1. Back to Back Ballacks
            12 years, 1 month ago

  23. JazzButcher

  24. The Sarjeant
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty content with my score. 35/36 depending on what bonus points Sterling gets and that's including all the other bonus points with Costa, Mata, Cahill and Rooney (c) to go!

    Roll on tomorrow!

    I only bought Mannone last night because of Harry's comments about Green being #1. Didn't want to play a doubtful Schmeichel against United. Thank you Redknapp, I owe you 10pts 🙂
