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.

            Don't we all...

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 2 months ago

      So as a Kun (c) and Ibra owner, what should I want?

      1. VS10_
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Kun to score more than Ibra.

    2. TheBusDriver
      10 years, 2 months ago

      What about top 1 million???

      1. VS10_
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Check the overall tab below the spreadsheet

    3. RPK
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Is there anyway I can subscribe to this spreadsheet every gameweek ?

      1. VS10_
        10 years, 2 months ago

        No idea about that, but just check https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/ right before the first game of the weekend starts.

    4. sminkypinky
      10 years, 2 months ago

      In the top 10k as it stands with an overly template team. So expecting to fall right on out of there even if all my players do moderately. Bound to be a couple of thousand mavericks with trip (K)un.

  5. Bushido
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Isaac Success any good?

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 2 months ago

      With a name like that Yes

      1. Bushido
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Loool, what about perez the supposedly new arsenal striker?

        1. Eden Azzzar
          10 years, 2 months ago

          No clue

    2. Arteta
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I heard he is successful.

  6. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kane will score because I removed him for Ibra... Today the bad luck begins.

    1. Bushido
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I did exactly the same. I hope he scores, then I can take ibra out for kane and save some money.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kane back as the lone striker against a Liverpool defence that has conceded 5 in 2 games. What were we thinking? 🙁

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        10 years, 2 months ago

        We had no choice 🙁 Too many own Ibra!

  7. Rainer
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Did really get rid of an OOP Firmino?... 🙂

  8. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Woah, my team for next GW looks awful.

  9. Bubz
    10 years, 2 months ago

    When you click on your minileague now, it displays who everyone has captained etc. Is this a new feature implemented this week?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You sure that's not a plugin?

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ohhh yeah I downloaded that betterfpl thing. 😆

        1. Les Bleus
          10 years, 2 months ago

          😀

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I don't see anything different.

  10. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Hope you all have a good week as long as Aguero doesn't score. If he does, then I hope you all have a terrible week.

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Such ridiculous thinking not getting him!

  11. Jafooli
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Should be a great derby this, looking forward to it.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Eh?

  12. internal error

    Hart to Sunderland is an actual thing....

    Come on you reds

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You're joking

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sunderland echo suggest so. Hart pretty much left with no choice

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I feel sorry for him

    2. Bushido
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If they put his price down to 4.5 then he'll be worth it.

  13. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kane looking sharp as usual. Standing tall, mouth open.

  14. aaaaaa
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Redmond captain here!

    1. Kaneyonero
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ditto

    2. Bushido
      10 years, 2 months ago

      What are your future redmond plans? His upcoming fixtures are a bit poo. Are you going to keep him?

      1. aaaaaa
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ofcourse. a 6 mid, who plays upfront

  15. Jay_
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Ended up with this for my wildcard team.

    -------------------Foster---------------------
    --------Valencia Baines Stones---------
    Hazard Barkley Redmond Snodgrass
    -----Aguero Ibrahimovic Lukaku--------
    ------------------------------------------------------
    (Pickford Capoue M.Wilson Amat)

    Vardy, Lamela, Firmino, Oscar, VVD all sold and I have all my eggs in an Everton basket. #BrownPants

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I went Pick/Jaku. Looks like I will have no GKs in a few weeks haha

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Surprisingly well balanced considering the front 3.

  16. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone want to admit they wasted their Bench Boost?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I've run out of popcorn 🙁

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Get to the shops.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, my GW rank of 731 was a huge waste. Hate my life.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        hahah that will soon be gone when people BB during a double GW. Ride the wave while you can. Chin up old chap.

    3. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why anyone would have wasted it already

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Look above haha. He got 24 and apparently thats a win for BB

        1. S.Kuqi
          10 years, 2 months ago

          LoL 😀

        2. Epic Fail
          10 years, 2 months ago

          To be fair, I don't think that would have been a terrible score even in a DGW.

          1. S.Kuqi
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Gotcha!

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A Ibra blank would be a massive boost to me this gameweek

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Would be to anyone who didn't captain him. Even for those who own him.

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I dont know what I want. I captained Aguero, but brought in Ibra this week. Id be sad if Ibra blanked but I should probably hope he does

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, his uncaptained brace and baps got many a red arrow last time.

    3. Arteta
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Fingers crossed!

  18. C_G
    10 years, 2 months ago

    1. Bushido

  23. Epic Fail
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino blank watch: All going to plan so far.

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 2 months ago

      His owners may as well get rid now.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hope all the players I dont own blank tbh

  24. Salah’s Sonnet
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Of course Coutinho starts when he was injured and told he wouldn't play. unbelievable.

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 2 months ago

      We were told he'll start yesterday night.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        10 years, 2 months ago

        how were we told that? i was on here all night last night, told by everyone he wouldn't be starting. I can't believe he's started.

    2. Les Bleus
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Should have scored too.

  25. Somalion
    10 years, 2 months ago
