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.

    is there any situation that can be bad enough to Wildcard in week 1?

    1. cravencottage

      Still some transfers to happen. Wait till then

      If you have none of the scorers this GW you are in trouble imo.

      I don't think so. Players who were good options 48 hours ago haven't suddenly become useless.

        Only injuries or 3 game bans worth transferring players out for this early.

      no. just relax n move on

  2. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which looks best:
    A) Vardy and Hazard
    B) Costa and Sanchez
    C) Ibra and Mane

    Thanks!

    1. Martial Eriksen
      • 9 Years

      Ibra and anyone...

      C atm

  3. Licky

    Clyne is such a bad player.

    1. RoysCallerAnne

      🙄

    2. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He must be in (de)Clyne

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        InClyned to fail?

    3. Licky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Offers nothing in attack and is poor defensively. The definition of bang average.

  4. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Firmino close

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's getting closer

  5. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Meanwhile lacazette scores hattrick for Lyon. Why is arsenal not willing to pay the asking price? There are defenders going for more. What the hell

        Lol'd

      2. Odikostar
        • 11 Years

        Won't go for less than higuain

    2. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Because he plays in the French league and players that score goals there are rubbish remember? 😉

  6. mccormibar
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thought United looked very good defensively today despite conceding. Would you play Redmond (man u) or Capoue (CHE) next week. Or play a back 4 of Valencia/Stones/Amat/Kone

    Cheers

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      Thought they left Bou attackers with a bit too much space on a number of occasions/didn't move to them fast enough. Wait and see what tomorrow night brings with Chelsea.

    2. superhoofy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      you could look at the odds for swansea or sunderland to keep a clean sheet and the odds for redmond or capoue to score - as a starting point

  7. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsey best player on pitch so far.

  8. Cantona90
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Best site for predicting price rises?

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Google FPL statistics.

      Fantasy football fix also decent.

      Also, if you spend decent time on here, you'd know whose about to fall/rise anyway. That's been my experience anyway.

    How many ex Southampton players can you spot in this match now? 😆

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      5?

    2. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
      • 12 Years

      6?

  10. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I know it's early but

    Who's everyone planning to captain gw2?

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Britannia is a bogey ground for Man City

      Not sure Kun or Kane

    2. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Got it on Kun atm. Eriksen (VC)

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Zlatan x 38 for me

    4. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Agüero v Given.

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This but City's attack is horrible

    5. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too early to say. Carroll v that BOU defence is a possibility.

    6. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Think without having a stand-out option myself I'll leave it on Aguero.

    7. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino for me atm unless Hazard wrecks Westham tomorrow.

    8. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kun for safety. Would go Firmino if I grew bigger balls. Always worried about City vs Stoke.

    9. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kane

  11. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino looks like one of those stereotypical feminist bloggers

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      *triggered* 😉

    2. Jay_

      • walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        If he scores, I'll be posting on his blog often.

    3. AcquiringSteak

      firmino looking dangerous

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He's been really sloppy so far. Second worst performance so far next to Moreno imo

    4. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      All this Myki v Mata talk

      Isn't Lindgard also in with a decent chance of getting the right side role

      Mourinho teams tend to have a more hard working player wide players as balance to the attacking one (Martial) don't they ?

      United fans ?

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Lingard over Maryial or Mkhi? Absolutely no chance I'd suspect!

    5. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is anyone thinking of bringing in Holding/Chambers (the one that is nailed)

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Whoever partners Kos

      2. The Road to Turfdom
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Koscielny is close to a return and Arsenal likely to buy another defender.Not for me, at present.

    6. Licky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well done Moreno.

    7. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Penalty for Arsenal

    8. Syd.

      Is Sanchez on pens? 😮

    12. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years

      Moreno is garbage

    13. Dickie1898
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moreno is shocking

    14. Bøwstring The Carp

    16. Gilbo88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moreno is so so so bad

    17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      Sanchez essential?

    18. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years

      Is Negredo going to rise tonight or tomorrow.?

    19. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      So typical of Moreno

    20. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moreno has looked a liability all game.

      Walcott owners smiling (soon)
