The Gameweek rolls on with a showpiece fixture at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal host Liverpool in the tea-time encounter with a host of Fantasy talent on show.

On paper, this could be a tight and cagey affair but Arsenal’s injuries at the back may just prompt both sides to go on the offensive.

Certainly Jurgen Klopp has named an attacking line-up, spearheaded by Roberto Firmino and supported by new signing Sadio Mane and the guile of Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana.

That quartet with surely stretch the Gunners backline with Wenger forced to start with a pairing of Calum Chambers and new signing Rob Holding.

Wenger will look to Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott to provide a response at the other end, with Aaron Ramsey set to start in the number ten role in the absence of Mesut Ozil.

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

      How many points you got today?

  2. Kalou

    Anyone know why Leko didn't play?

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      because he's 12?

  3. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Didn't have the greatest start (40 points + Haz and Andy), but think I'll save the transfer unless you can see any glaring issues?

    Heaton Foster
    Evans Valencia Stones Friend Amat
    Hazard Firmino Redmond Alli
    Aguero Vardy Carroll

    Have they gotten rid of red/green arrows?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      • 11 Years

      can you have any arrow in gw1?

    3. Epic Fail

      Have a think about what you're asking. 😀

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I assumed after yesterday, you got your rank, after today it would show a red/green arrow, tbh.

  5. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    11 points today and I've gone from 1.8k to 5.2k

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly the same. Loads of ownership for LFC's MF.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Hazard left?

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Yes. Exactly again.

  6. Zasa
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Ancelotti's Bayern debut in the German Supercup vs Dortmund is underway. Should be good.

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      didn't know this, tnx

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is ibra a must have?

    I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't own him here 🙁

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. Especially when considering his huge ownership

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I don't own him.

      Because I own Martial 😎

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No.

  8. Jay_
    9 years, 11 months ago

    From 100k overnight to 675k with 4 points today. Brutal.

    1. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      From 100,000 to 1,000,000...

      1. Jay_
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Ouch, any tomorrow?

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone also think that Liverpool will score maximum 1 goal in next GW?

    That's how it goes with them.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed.

      Burnley will shut up shop and frustrate Liverpool.

      Liverpool do well when teams attack them.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yup. That's why I won't rush with getting their mid.

        They have Spurs after that who are good in defence, but it's always goal fest in that game. Not sure what to do then. After Spurs it's Leicester with their strong defence.

  10. Dogboymurphy77
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Sitting 170,433 overall, 20 fecking points on the bench & Hazard still to play. Thoughts on Townsend? Weak link in my team I'm feeling

    1. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      How did he play? Palace need a striker.

    2. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Palace good fixtures.... Wait it out

  11. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    1300 ➡ 56k

    Not as bad as I expected with 0 points today.

    Hazard to boost it tomorrow I hope.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      But bench points counting in...

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Not many highly owned players missed out though.

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Saw few lucky asses with Foster on the bench. Few Capues and WBA defenders will come in also.

  12. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Don't know what to make of gwk1, 50 with Oscar.

    I got this gwk2

    Foster
    VVD Amat Kone
    Lamela Firmino Tadic Oscar Aye
    Vardy Kind

    Jaku Gray Valencia Friend

    I feel like I want to WC, but probably don't even need ft. What you think guys?

    1. Emp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      surely valencia over vvd to stgart ? 😮

    2. MFC86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      definitely don't need to wild card, 50 is a solid score

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Kind is Kun

  13. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Good to see quick updates this season.

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed

    2. Jay_
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That and the live bonus are two huge positives.

      1. Big Red Dog
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        amazing

      2. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        yes. both are nice additions

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      The live bonus points addition is excellent

  14. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    205k with Hazard + secret weapon Feghouli to play.

  15. D0GS B0110XS FC
    • 13 Years

    hazard - payet for wk2 only?

  16. MFC86
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who is everyone knee jerking in and out of their teams this week then??

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nobody.

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Saving the transfer, I think 😎

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez ➡ Hazard / Barkley / Mane
      Gray ➡ Carroll / Negredo
      Fuchs:arrow: Terry

      One of those mentioned above

      1. MFC86
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        shipping Mahrez even after his goal?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Played poorly imo and didn't do nothing besides that sloppy penalty

    4. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Cout i guess

  17. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    415k rank

    That's the Fpl I remember!

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      Your year 😉

  18. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    For gw 2
    A) fuchs* to walker
    *have kasper
    Or
    B) gradel to ramirez

  19. Dre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Apologies as this has prob been asked already but Fiso looking reliable about price changes?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      There haven't been any price changes.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      FPLstats

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Their nti look right, but target still guesswork (and nothing like fantasyfootballfix & fplstatistics).

  20. mattk lfc
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero (C) with 18 and 18 points from the remaining 9 players. Yikes. Haz to play tomorrow

  21. Caravagio
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Redmond or Snodgrass???

    Prefer SOU as a team but have harder fixtures sort of...

    1. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I love the look of Snodgrass I think they will score a similar amount of points over the next weeks.

  22. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Fellas, would appreciate a few opinions on what to do with my FT this week. I'm wildcarding after GW3 so it's short term gains I'm looking for.

    £1.5m ITB
    Mahrez - Hazard - Townsend - Ramirez - Leko
    Aguero - Vardy - Long

    The options I'm considering at the minute are:
    A) Vardy -> Ibra OR Kane
    B) Mahrez -> Mané
    C) Long + Mahrez -> Ibra + Redmond for a hit.

    Thoughts? Would be really appreciated.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Long > Wilson? Could save.

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I'd like to get rid of one of my Leicester boys, just to cover the risk that the Hull result wasn't a fluke.

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I like vardy to Kane and captain Kane, I personally can't do it as I didn't leave any itb, but it's a good option.

      C just seems too drastic imo

      Sticking is also a decent option

    3. Caravagio
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy to Ibra

    4. MFC86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I would hold Vardy against that Arsenal defence. He had a boat load of chances yesterday

  23. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Play Kone over friend next week?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      that game could go either way

      1. Garlana
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Going with the home player seemed logical to me

    2. MFC86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I've gone Friend, I fancy us to score

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yep

    4. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm playing both, 0-0 pls.

  24. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Rose Gold 🙂

    Well unless Stenson sinks a monster

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Great chip under pressure.

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        It was a fantastic shot

  25. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Someone in my ML

    71 with both Costa and Hazard yet to play!

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

          This guy could do even better than that if Haz or Costa have good games

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      And no aguero, big balls there!

  26. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Shot Rose. That could be it!

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      Davis wagon?!

  27. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Gray has been transferred out more times than Hart.. wow

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Knee jerkers. He'll score v Liverpool.

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Coutinho 15k transfers in already

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      There's quite an obsession with price rises/falls and ownership on here

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        This, 100%. It's a long season, plenty of time for TV.

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That's the Liverpool factor.

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      not touching him for a while. Been there few times. Will blank atleast next 5 games

  29. Jay_
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Seems I was looking at my mates team, I'm actually 470k which is like finding a 20 note in my pocket 🙂 Even though the fast update it's still showing his rank from yesterday. He smashed it today but still showing a low rank.

  30. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Highest point is 98 so far. He has used AOA ship though.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Umm.. It's quite a good tactics if we considered how useful the AOA is.
