Gameweek 3 gets underway in some style: on paper, the early kick-off at White Hart Lane has the makings of a classic. However, much depends on the version of the Liverpool side that turns up.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were spectacular in the season opener against Spurs’ north London rivals, Arsenal. They followed that display a week later with frustrating showing at Burnley, as they slipped to a 2-0 reverse having hogged 83% of the ball.

As for Spurs, they’ve certainly failed to spark to this point. A stalemate with Everton was followed by a stuttering display against Palace, which eventually saw them grind out a 1-0 win.

Harry Kane is back as the lone striker. Philippe Coutinho is fit and on the Liverpool teamsheet. The scene is set for the big Fantasy assets to come to the fore.

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

    I'm salty BUT

    Lamela gives away a pen and gets a jammy touch yet he still gets 7 pts. Fantasy football logic 😎

      Rules are there before we start.

        Rules are meant to be broken.

      No disqualification for giving away a penalty in this game. love it

    Can't decide which game to watch. May go scouting Everton assets.

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Probably going Everton myself. Own Barkley/Lukaku

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Wish I had that option aswell. Local operator shows only "big" teams games

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        They show all games in Singapore luckily. However moving back to London next week 🙁

  3. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Lamela at borrowed time in my team. Jammy points but I'll take it 🙂

  4. Wurstmuncher

    Rose, a defender, concedes a goal, gets booked and scores. 2 baps

    Firminio, a midfielder, assists a goal. Zero baps

    Smells to high heaven!

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years

      I can smell it from here!

    BTMD

    What game to watch now?

    Team is

    Schmeichel
    Valencia / Evans / Stones
    Hazard / Redmond / Bolasie / Firmino
    Aguero / Grey / Zlatan

    Thinking i might watch new recruit Bolasie!

    @Twisted Saltgater and Lamela haters:

    Lamela 2015/16:
    8 more shots in the box than Alli from less minutes
    2 more chances created than Tadic from only 90 mins more.
    Hot end of season form

    2016/17:
    Great pre season form
    GW1: goal
    GW2: 5 chances created
    GW3: Assist, played better than Kane/Alli/Erik

    All this for 7m, don't know what more you could ask for 🙄

    1. Clump
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      The moon on a stick?

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Lamela had less minutes than Alli?

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        What's so surprising about that? The info is on fpl for you to check...

        Alli 2479
        Lamela 2383

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Not doubting I'm just a bit surprised

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

      Every other Lamela owner is thanking their lucky stars, except you. Wake up and smell the coffee!

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Insightful...

    4. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Lol only 90 mins more than Tadic

      You're scraping deep here

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        You do realize that Tadic is one of the best creators in the league...

        1. Delhidynamo
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Why not compare per match averages then

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 24 days ago

            How about I put it this way: Had 20 more chances created than Alli from less minutes...

    5. Cecil The Lion
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Don't know what more you could ask for?

      More points from my bench boost

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Well I'm certainly not hoping for that. Pretty happy with mine 🙂

    1. Revival

      • 14 Years

      sounds like as good a plan as any

  11. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years

    Capoue to score again?

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      If he does I'll change my grav to whatever you want.

    2. MesQueUnClub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Would be nice since I have him in the starting 11( got Carroll in the squad still), but lighting tends not to strike 3 times in the same spot... :/

  12. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years

    Finally looks like Klopp has binned Studge then.....GOOD....

    You can't build a team around a croc....

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Why so much hate for Studge?

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Lazy, arrogant, knobhead

        2. Dr Dream

          ^this.

        3. jayzico

          hear hear

        4. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          ^ It's his attitude that irritates me

    2. Milner4eva
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He's their best player

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        It's arguable. That statement depends on the hypothetical situation of him being full fit and injury-free.

        Besides it's not always about the best player, it's about what works best for the team.

        Hazard is Chelsea's best player, but he was benched last season for various reasons. A good manager does what needs to be done.

        1. Milner4eva
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Aye, you're right - but he hasn't even been injured that much since he returned under Klopp has he?

          Without checking, I'd say that Origi has missed more games through injury than him since then, and Studge is twice the player

      2. Acquafresca
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        He really isn't.

        Have you seen Firmino's work rate ?

        1. Milner4eva
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Have you seen Studge's mins to games ratio?

          1. Milner4eva
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 24 days ago

            goals to mins/games ratio*

            1. Bøwstring The Carp
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 24 days ago

              Could say the same about Walcott in fairness, or Rashford/ Iheanacho

              1. Milner4eva
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 24 days ago

                Too small a sample size for Rash and Kelechi.

                Theo's ratio isn't that good (1 in 5)

                1. Milner4eva
                  • 14 Years
                  10 years, 24 days ago

                  Studge's stats are far superior to those three players in all regards

    3. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      can u build one around a gator?

      I'll show myself out

    4. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      😆 Careful there Wakey. I remember Berb having a snipe at me, you and one or two others for that perfectly valid opinion that Pool should maybe look to replace him for not being reliable enough to play enough games.

      Bizarre really innit. Oh well, some more major egg on face for me to enjoy.

      1. Milner4eva
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Sriously though, has he even been injured that much since he returned last season under Klopp?

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Nah he's always fit - 100% reliable too...

        2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Only since last season? I see what you did there 🙂 The end of last season no doubt.

          And he missed GW1 through injury if I'm not mistaken.

    5. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Too right, though I think his sulkiness is a worse affliction. Who's the most attacking player in the absence of an out and out striker? I have Firmino.

      1. Milner4eva
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        I'd be sulky too if I was that good and my manager didn't play me

  13. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    No Deulofeu 🙁 and I just know he's gonna come on and get 20 mins here's hoping Koeman leaves for the full 90 and Capoue comes on as auto sub

  14. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    On my wildcard kept Walker over baines for guaranteed cleanies, and picked fellaini over bolasie as a punt with game time in doubt for bol. Now looking at a four pointer to resolve this pap already!!!

    Ladies and gentlemen, I am a donut

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Fellaini?! Wtf

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        One week punt looking at Hulls defensive stats

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      You lost me at "picked fellaini"

    3. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Walker isnt injured

    4. Smythe
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Fellaini?

      lol

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

        Nekmit .... Fellaini double !

      Fellaini lol

    7. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Laugh it up lads. Hull have awful underlying stats and can't defend crosses.

      Hopefully

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Walker is ill not injured. Don't knee jerk

      2. Smythe
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Hope he assists Ibra.

  15. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Reckon the baps for that game ares till subject to change?

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah. It always changes.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      You'd hope so. Send it upstairs to third umpire Billy Bowden.

  16. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Hazard -> Lamela?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      LOL

    2. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Now why would you get rid off Hazard? He's looked briliant and have gotten points. Surely there must be someone else you could get rid of before him?

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        LOL

      2. The Donald
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        brilliant seems like an exaggeration

        1. Giovanni Giorgio
          • 13 Years

          You were saying? 😉

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nope.

    4. Smythe
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Do it

  17. TheBusDriver
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Hopefully Lamela doesn't get any bps. 5 pts is more than enough.

    1. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He'll get some you debbie downer

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He is getting 7

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        could change

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      7 points will be even nicer.

  18. TheSteel

      Hopefully getting Barkley is worth the extra 1.6
