We head to the Emirates this evening as Gameweek 3 comes to its conclusion with a head-to-head between two of last season’s top six. Despite scoring just twice so far, Arsenal have offered a significant threat in the final third – although they’ve played only two matches, Arsene Wenger’s side still sit joint-top for shots inside the box, firing 32 close-range attempts.

Liverpool arrive in London in impressive defensive form, though. The Reds have registered back-to-back shut-puts this season and chalked up eight clean sheets away from home in 2014/15 – joint-top with West Brom. With three very favourable home fixtures in the following four, Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on the Merseysiders’ main men at both ends of the pitch.

Given that Arsenal are missing both Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker, Christian Benteke owners will be hopeful of another goal for the Belgian, after he opened his account against Bournemouth last Monday evening.

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

      The old guard just have no respect for him. He's too young to be a top team manager.

    Hey guys, I've just come home from work so I've missed the build up to the Match. Why isn't Mert and Kos playing? And, did we know they wouldn't anyway, or was it last minute announcement?

    1. AverageJoe
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I just found out and it really screwed me

    2. _nod

      10 years, 11 months ago

      Mert - sick
      Kos - bad back

      1. _nod
        • 12 Years

        Doesn't inspire confidence when everyone in my ml has Benteke!

    3. Gnu

      Wenger caught them both in the showers, not a pretty sight by all accounts.

      1. Nickk
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I didn't think they were the type.

    1. Bubz

      1. The Light Knight
        • 14 Years

    Is it okay to have taken an extra -4 point hit to bring in Kolarov for Kosc?

    1. ​
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      If you did it last week it'd have paid off brilliantly

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

        Was set on bringing him in against Watford but then he scored against Everton which sent me a bit barmy to say the least.

    2. AverageJoe
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Are you the one who messed up his back?

  22. SC not pearls before swine
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I think if Mane is out, Ramsey may be who I bring in.

  23. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years

    Such dull atmosphere at the game.

  24. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years

    Can't believe I had Huth (TOT) 2nd sub over Targett (wat) 3rd sub.

    4 points dropped ðŸ™

  26. JK - Cønt â­
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    There looks like there should be goal in this one

    Nailed on 0-0 then

  27. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Coutinho looks much more confident going for the shot this season, this was the main reason he wasn't a good FPL prospect before. Worth considering...

  28. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Sorry about a really Nooooob question but if I'm playing my Wildcard do I just buy all the players going up on fplstats every night?

    Until Sat deadline obviously

    1. TK74
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No buy the player that are going down.

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        If you're going to be chippy you need to be funnier

    2. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      They have to go up 0,2 if you want to earn anything on them...

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Ah yes thanks

  29. The Light Knight

    Weird that they've held the game at the Emptihad, isn't it?

    1. Bodie
