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

    Clearly a foul for the disallowed goal and Coutinho didn't interfere with play. You're all so biased.

      ITS OUR YEAR

      - or clear-sighted ... 😉

        this

    3. Cilly Bonnolly

      10 years, 11 months ago

      Of course he's interfering with play.

      Under the new rules this year Coutinho made a move for the ball and thus was offside.

      1. stufail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Under pretty much any offside rule it should have been offside.

        The goalkeeper reacted to Coutinho, as he was clearly interfering.

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        The rule that a player being offside commits an offside foul by moving for the ball was already officially in force last season.

      Harsh, but a foul for the disallowed goal.

      But clear offsides on the second, no question.

    6. copps
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      its a dumb rule to start with. the refs will ALWAYS be uner pressure because of it, most times it will be a subjective call to make.

    7. sinik

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Also if that's clearly a foul for the disallowed goal, then Skrtel should get a red card every game for his corner shenanigans.

      😉

      Zzzzz. Violin in the cupboard.

    Right I have my 1st FPL goal and maybe saved from a -8 but no more please I didn't (c) you

    1. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I think you need all the points you can get

    Lol @ non-owners and non-captainers

      Sigh.

  4. Wiz

    The new offside rule hasn't kicked in yet 😀

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I don't even know what the new rule is 😀

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Trying to kick the ball counts as interfering with play

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Ol' Big 'Ead had words for this ... 😀

      2. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years

        I'm not really sure how the old rule worked 😳

  5. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years

  8. stufail

    • 15 Years

    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

  14. Ron_Manager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    That formula one driver on the sidelines looks unhappy now

  15. President Giggs
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Absolutely shocking that Bournemouth's goal was disallowed whereas Liverpool's goal wasn't.

    1. How Mina You
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Both should not have stood

  19. BuK II
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

  24. Mull

    Cross it into the box ffs!

  25. passdpuck
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I can't watch the game right now, so naturally I assumed every person on here was messing with me on this goal.

  26. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I have no view on the offside call--I just know this is the first good thing to happen for me this season!!

    Benteke (c) 😎

  27. tm245

    Did you guys know that if your captain gets points they count as double? Cool features in this FPL game, top stuff.

  28. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    The ref is a scouser

  29. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    First we had Rooneygate

    Now we've got Offsidegate

  30. Gorgles
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    With the new rules that shouldn't have counted. Coutinio influenced the play when he was offsides. So unlucky for Bornemouth. Should be 1-0 up, but they're 1-0 down.
