Game week 2 arrives at its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Bournemouth to Merseyside for the first ever league meeting between the two clubs. After a multitude of armband options failed us again, many will be looking to Reds attack to save yet another disappointing round of results for Fantasy managers.

Certainly, Liverpool carried plenty of threat in front of their own fans last season. Despite scoring only 30 times at Anfield in 2014/15, Brendan Rodgers’ men fired a total of 331 attempts – only City and Arsenal managed more efforts when it came to home encounters.

As for Bournemouth, they arrive at Anfield boasting a fine away record in their Championship winning season, claiming eight victories and suffering just five defeats on the road, with a goal difference of plus 30.

Delving into last week’s data, though, tonight’s two sides managed just one big chance and five shots on target between them in Gameweek 1, suggesting that both sides will need to improve in the final third should they have ambitions for three points.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

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

      Only if their prices are chaning imo. For now, I'd only do Fabregas > Payet and/or Tadic > Mahrez.

      Hey TM
      Were you looking for me the other day?
      Sent you an email with my preferred email.. What's up?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I was. Nothing much really. Just a quick catch up when I look at that email.

        1. Desertbug
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No worries. Anytime.

  8. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool should put the ball into their own net and show some fair play.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'm sure they will but it won't be on purpose.

    2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Kolo will do that when he comes on, don't worry.

    3. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Lovren might do this he seems like a fair lad.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        He's usually very generous.

  9. Higuita
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you rather have (ignore price)

    A) Ayew and Kane
    B) Chadli and Gomis

    Which combo will get more points, let's assume Kane fully fit.

    1. Zebrahimović
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      B

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

      A

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I think most would say B, but if we actually ignore the price I'd rather have Ayew than Chadli and Kane than Gomis.

    4. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A) Ayew and Kane

  10. fordy049
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Yaya or Silva?

    1. Wrizard
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      silva

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

      Silva is golden

    3. 3 years & counting
      • 11 Years

  13. The Raging Bull

    Barca vs Bilbao on now. Should be a corker.

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      3-1 heard it here first.

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 12 Years

        5-0

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

        Hope so, with a Henderson penalty and a Wilson goal.

        1. The Nuttmxn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Is Henderson playing for Barca or Bilao?

            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            He came off to and on a plane to Camp Nou atm

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years

    50 notes or 13 points?

    1. The 12th Man

      50 notes

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Which game?

  15. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Is it just me or is the reffing just a little one sided?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just dreadful. Sometimes it seems referees just go out of their way to be incompetent...

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just a little bit.

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

      as always

    3. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Pathetic from linesman too

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      When was the last time that the referee made bad decisions in favour of your team?

      1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thats why I asked. seems you're just being a knob.

  16. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Lack of footballing intelligence there from Coutinho, he's good but also frustrating at the same time

  17. Cravex
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Vardy! As my 2nd striker with kun. Is he the best striker for 6m? Mid is yaya ayew Silva layer Sanchez

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He called someone a racist name several times and might get suspended

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        He assisted Okazaki though, that's his way to say sorry

    2. Cravex
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Payet ..is the other mid ..predictive text lol

    3. #WinterIsNotComing
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      seems interesting, mind sharing the back as well. WC active.

  18. Brotherman Bill
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Gonna go ahead of WC so I'm wondering about a few things

    1: Yaya or Sanchez?
    2: Worth taking a punt of Xherdan Shaquilleoneal?
    3: Probably a stupid question to ask considering he just got an assist but is it worth keeping Henderson?

    1. Zebrahimović
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I think he's playing too deep now but that's just me.

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

      1. tough maybe sanchez if price doesn't matter
      2. NO
      3. probably not

  19. Jafooli

    thoughts on this wildcard team?

    Romero (McCarthy)

    Kompany, Williams, Richards (Muniesa, Targett)

    Silva, Ozil, Chadli, Payet (Westwood)

    Aguero, Benteke, Gomis

    1. Bøss ⭐
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      0.7m in the bank, could upgrade a keeper or 5th def/mid?

  21. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Bournemouth player takes ball off Courtino? must be a foul.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I was thinking the same

      Gets Hazard like protection from the ref

  22. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Watch the football or watch some men talking about football?

      hahah this is actually debatable

  23. #WinterIsNotComing
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    So whats the ownership % of Hazard and Ivan right now? any drop?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard 50,7% Ivan 29,2%

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        and not dropping yet

      2. #WinterIsNotComing
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Haz was around 58% at start.

  24. The Mighty Ducks
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Mane and Francis seem like they could be good options after they drop, any others to look out for?

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't trust Bournemouth's defence.

  25. Salahbrate
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Question 1:

    A) Benteke

    B) Gomis

    Question 2:

    A) Yaya + Silva

    B) Yaya + Albrighton

    1. Wrizard
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      1. A

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

      did you really just ask if between Silva and Albrighton? Silva will hands down out score him

      1. Salahbrate
        • 10 Years

        Yeah was just unsuer about to man city players.. But yeah it was actually a stupid question right xD Thanks tho

    McCarthy - Guzan
    Kolarov - Shaw - Bellerín - Targett - Oxford

    1. Zebrahimović

    2. Mr Wizard

    I feel I'm a winner when I didnt go with the crowd, refused to captain the leader poll Rooney and went with my gut. Any Tekker (C) owners feel the same? 😀

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      What a maverick. You captained 2nd on the poll.

      was looking at benteke as a stand out captain for this week as soon as the fixtures were released the captains poll i dont take much notice off
