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.

  4. Mull
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Watching Harry Kane try is making me miserable.

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      dembele curse is real

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He got a try?!!

  5. Ryan Naysmith
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mane yellow

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

      Milner goal

  6. Licky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    The referee has been woeful.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Been fine imo.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Apart from the Vert on Matip thing. But all refs do that.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          And bottling Mane red

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Meh, was a 50/50, no intent. Wasn't that bad imo.

  7. Cantona90
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Liverpool will beat Leicester and Chelsea and lose to Hull.

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      and Swansea

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Whether you sold Firmino or you Walker went off early. Try to think of the less fortunate who own Harry Kane...

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

    Firmino season keeper. Silly move to sell to be fair

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed.

    2. LAMB TEA
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      plenty better options imo

    3. Krul Runnings
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      When the GW's over you can say that.

    4. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino is the exact opposite of a season keeper. He is brilliant as false 9 but a pretty terrible option elsewhere. Sturridge will start up front more often than not. Firmino will in tough away games.

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

      If he ends the game on an assist then 1 assist to show for ove 3 games is hardly season keeper material. Needs to prove himself more in the Liverool midfield lottery.

    6. Funkdoc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Glad I kept but has looked missing in first half. Should have shot instead of squaring to Coutinho. Everything going through Mane and Cout

  10. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Surely that tug on Matip was worthy of a PK?

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

      It was. Completely takes him down.

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

      Yup

    3. Funkdoc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yep back to old rules after 2 games

  11. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If only Coutinho had a good shot in him

    Would be world class and a great fpl prospect

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

      Thats why hes at LP and not Barca. Lacks consistency. Has incredible glimpses.

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Might lump on Mane scoring. I think it is inevitable, hes been a menace. Unless he gets sent off.

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

      Fancy one or the other.
      He's everywhere.

    2. Strawberry Jelavic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah it seems inevitable! He'll rip one in when spurs get tired ten minutes from time

    3. Funkdoc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Or a second yellow just as likely?

    4. Strawberry Jelavic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Aww man?! Threw a tenner on Mane to score!!

  13. Krul Runnings
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Selling Firmino was always gonna troll me, as the long as the double transfer overall pays off then it's ok!

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It is an assist. I wouldn't worry about it

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        can see hims scoring in second half

    2. Strawberry Jelavic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He trolled the bejesus out of me last season, looks set to pick up where he left off

    3. Give Me the Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Sold Firmino too

  14. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Firmino playing well. Keep it up!

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

      Two good bits of play. That's about it

  15. Strawberry Jelavic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Jeez looking at coutinho walking off pitch there, one of Liverpool staff looks like a Klopp klone hahaha

  16. mo 10 years on FFS? Join my…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Are there any stats tables kkocking about for fandual?

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Two weeks ago if you said Firmino wasn't the best mid from Pool you didn't know how to play FPL... Know everyone who knows FPL and why Firmino was the best have sold him... LUL

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

    Son on for lamela at HT if poch has any sense

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Wont happen

  19. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If only coutinho could finish easier chances! Would have 2 assists for firmino now. He is a ghost of a player, great at finding space.

  20. Brayden29
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Sold Firmino for Mane. Even though Firmino has done better so far FPL wise Mane looks far better.

    Also brought in Lamela this week

  21. Rich_20
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mane should get taken off before hes sent off.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed. Grujic on

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

      Just needs strong words at HT.
      Best player on the pitch.

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Could be suicide leaving him on. Or suicide talkng him off

  22. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Current BAPS

    Milner 3
    Firmino 2
    Vorm 1

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

      Firmino will take the 3 I think

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        how, when he only assisted?

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 11 months ago

          He is trolling.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            i thought so haha.

      2. Rich_20
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        When he scores he will, yes

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          if....he scores, which he wont

  23. zotter
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Not sure he is worth ff investment (at least not until karius and can back) but matip looks immense

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

    Might wildcard just to get Lamela out of my team. What a waste of space.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Indeed, just bought him this week lol, regret it already

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

      Just bloody brought him in. Though to be fair he only scores points when spurs playing well. Which they aren't. Playing right into pool hands

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He was just a bandwagon

    4. Funkdoc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I would avoid Spurs altogether until we see signs of last seasons form

    5. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm not watching, so is anyone else on Spurs doing anything?

  25. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Would you guys think Firmino to Mane is worth a transfer? Really like Mane's attacking potential, Firmino seems to be dropping so deep and just assisting the assister actually

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

      Wait and see what Mane does. Looks like getting a goal and sent off at the same time.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Haha so true 😀

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

          That'll make the decision for you 😉 I still have no clue who I want out of that midfield.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            If one, def Mane for me

            Ozil or Payet are also an option for me if I downgrade Morgan as well. Barkley also an option if I want to get Benteke instead of Gray with the money from that transfer in my bank.

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

              Planning a wildcard? Might hit the button, though I'm still not convinced on the good picks.

              1. JÆKS ⭐
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                No not at all, just getting rid of Firmino 😀

    2. Rich_20
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes im thinking the same

    3. Licky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I brought in Ozil for Firmino but with the intention of bringing Firmino back in or Mané in a week or two.

    4. zotter
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed

    5. Crystal Ball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mane will tear it up this season. Not sure if the transfer is worth it though atm. You will probably have more pressing changes to make. Mane is the pick of the bunch in the long term

    6. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mane the better player by far.

  26. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    assist to a player who wins penalty is just when penalty is scored ?

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That is right

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

      Nope. Assists also given to goals not scored this year!

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Thinking about it, they could give 1 point for winning a penalty and then the other 2 if it's converted

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

        haha

      3. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        ha ha, funny. though than wins penalty gives point itself smart pants

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Bobby F 2 BAPs locked in too. Anyone taking a hit to get him in straight away? I reckon he is essential and Pools best mid!

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No brainer, I would even take a -16 hit to get him!

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

        Just confirmed him Vorm and Kane in

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        No bRAINER*

  28. Licky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I hope Grujic comes on.

  29. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Glad my lamela is giving some help to my firmino. Shame about the walker injury though.

  30. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Was on a wildcard this week.

    Anybody else sell Firmino for 8.5 and get him back for 8.4?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Clever

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That's what paying the wildcard is all about

    3. Funkdoc
