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.

    Up 18 places 😎

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      How many points you got today?

  2. Kalou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know why Leko didn't play?

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      because he's 12?

  3. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 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

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years

      Nah looks solid, still got some things right, don't fret!

    Have they gotten rid of red/green arrows?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      No arrows in GW1

        Oh. Oops.

    2. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      can you have any arrow in gw1?

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Have a think about what you're asking. 😀

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

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

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hazard left?

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yes. Exactly again.

  6. Zasa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      didn't know this, tnx

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

      Yes. Especially when considering his huge ownership

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I don't own him.

      Because I own Martial 😎

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No.

  8. Jay_
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Ouch, any tomorrow?

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

          Agreed.

          Burnley will shut up shop and frustrate Liverpool.

          Liverpool do well when teams attack them.

          1. Dušan Citizen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 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.

      3. Dogboymurphy77
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

          How did he play? Palace need a striker.

        2. FPL Footy Show Pod
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Palace good fixtures.... Wait it out

      4. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        1300 ➡ 56k

        Not as bad as I expected with 0 points today.

        Hazard to boost it tomorrow I hope.

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          But bench points counting in...

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Not many highly owned players missed out though.

            1. Dušan Citizen
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

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

      5. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

          surely valencia over vvd to stgart ? 😮

        2. MFC86
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

        3. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Kind is Kun

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed

        2. Jay_
            9 years, 7 months ago

            That and the live bonus are two huge positives.

            1. Big Red Dog
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              amazing

            2. Chelsea Dagger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              yes. both are nice additions

          • Syd.
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            The live bonus points addition is excellent

        3. DantheManinaPan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          205k with Hazard + secret weapon Feghouli to play.

          • 13 Years

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Nobody.

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Saving the transfer, I think 😎

          3. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

            One of those mentioned above

            1. MFC86
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              shipping Mahrez even after his goal?

              1. S.Kuqi
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

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

          4. Costa in Wengerland
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Cout i guess

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

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            There haven't been any price changes.

              9 years, 7 months ago

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

          4. mattk lfc
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

          5. Caravagio
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Redmond or Snodgrass???

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

            1. Big Red Dog
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

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

          6. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

              Long > Wilson? Could save.

              1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 7 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, 7 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, 7 months ago

              Vardy to Ibra

            4. MFC86
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

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

          7. Garlana
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Play Kone over friend next week?

            1. Jazz!
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              that game could go either way

              1. Garlana
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                Going with the home player seemed logical to me

            2. MFC86
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I've gone Friend, I fancy us to score

            3. Hy liverpool

              Yep

              • 11 Years

          8. Syd.
            • 16 Years

            Rose Gold 🙂

              Great chip under pressure.

              1. Syd.
                • 16 Years

                It was a fantastic shot

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            Someone in my ML

            71 with both Costa and Hazard yet to play!

                1. Harper_

                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

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

            1. Garlana
              • 11 Years

              • 15 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

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

              1. st4rt__
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

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

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years

              That's the Liverpool factor.

              9 years, 7 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.

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

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