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.

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

  19. Nickk
    11 years, 2 months ago

    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
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I just found out and it really screwed me

    2. _nod
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Mert - sick
      Kos - bad back

      1. _nod
        11 years, 2 months ago

        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
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I didn't think they were the type.

  20. Heydudes13
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Delighted to notice Chucky is back few pages back 🙂

    1. Bubz
      11 years, 2 months ago

      This. Not so delighted to hear he has no idea what's happened in football though 😆

      1. The Light Knight
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Not changed much then?

        *Chucky leaves for another year*

      2. Heydudes13
        11 years, 2 months ago

        1. Bubz
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Only just found out the team he supports sold their best goalkeeper of all time to Arsenal

          1. Heydudes13
            11 years, 2 months ago

  21. Harper_

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

    1. ​
      11 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 2 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
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Are you the one who messed up his back?

  22. SC not pearls before swine
    11 years, 2 months ago

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

  23. pundit of punts
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Such dull atmosphere at the game.

  24. Puyol Pants Up
    11 years, 2 months ago

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

    4 points dropped 🙁

  25. SW6

    Zzzzz

  26. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    There looks like there should be goal in this one

    Nailed on 0-0 then

  27. The Train Driver
    11 years, 2 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
    11 years, 2 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
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No buy the player that are going down.

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

      1. Robe Wan

        11 years, 2 months ago

        Ah yes thanks

  29. The Light Knight
    11 years, 2 months ago

    1. Bodie
      11 years, 2 months ago
