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 always hate being here on the weekend, 30% of comments are people "lol @" and abusing each other. Midweek is much more constructive

      There's lots of banter. It's fun 🙂

        Almost none really. Most comments are simply people talking to themselves.

    Patience brings points.
    Respect to my fellow firmino owners.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Good decision too keep. Idiotic to drop after 2 GWs.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Because of an assist? Man you guys really feel the need to justify your decisions

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Exactly 😆

        2. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Read my reply to the above post.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      rather have impatience where firm is concerned.

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      it is an assist FFS lol

    4. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Let's see the rest of the game and what Barkley does before we mouth off?

  3. Kaneyonero
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Cmon Alli

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Great grav. 😀

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

    Hoping for Walker to drop. Owning Spurs attack not worth it atm

  5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    For the Firminho sellers, stop bloody moaning. You reap what you sow

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      It's only an assist

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Exactly my point!

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Good lad

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      No one is moaning but it is an assist FFS. Too much creaming

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      its an assist......my lord

  6. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Janssen to score would do me nicely for my bets and would keep Kane off the score sheet for all the FFS owners...come on!

  7. Kaneyonero
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    My ml rival captained walcott

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Cheers. Keep us updated on his moves.

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Thought it was a strange move considering there were better options. Walcott hattie incoming

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Who is his VC?

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Eriksen lol

  8. Black Panther
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Who's most likely to be replaced by Boufal after the international break, Redmond or Long?

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Mane was everywhere first half, covered 5.1 km alone

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Don't tell the firmino owners this...they are a testy bunch

      1. devils advocate
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        YOU ARE!!!!

        Sorry. 😉

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

    Personally can't believe anyone sold Balon D'Or 2017 winner, Firmino.

  11. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Why wont Poch bring Kane on?

  12. Jamie_GAWA
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Lol @ me

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

    For me, the decision to transfer Firmino out is based on a 3GW window

    Brought in Tadic and was always going to be about who scores more over the next 3 games

    Firmino: tot, LEI, che
    Tadic: SUN, ars, SWA

    Not to mention an extra 1.1m to invest into the rest of the team.

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Much agreed. The comments about firmino being amazing after an assist are ridiculous.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Thank god there are people who actually understand football on this site! This is exactly the point any sane person will go by...the firmino owners are really thinking keeping a player who has one assist playing as a CF in 3 games is a good decision...I don't get it

    2. Bushido
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Tadic won't be scoring against Arsenal. Arsenal are the best team in the world.

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

        So good Liverpool put 4 past them at the Emirates.

      2. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Calm down, Bushido.

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Good transfer imo.

  14. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hail firmino but Walker fail 🙁

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

    Wijnaldum been practicing shooting with Cout.

  16. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Matip needs punished.

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

    Stuck with Firmino and got rid of Alli. Win so far.

    I have kept my wildcard safe AS ITS ONLY GAMEWEEK 3!!!!!!!

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

    Mane gotta be careful

  19. Lizard Lips
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Mane desperate for a RC.

  20. Geri-hatricks
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Did I see Klopp's twin on the bench?

  21. Make United Great Again
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Does Mane want to get sent off?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Clearly so, Kloop may hook him off before that do

  22. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    We all knew Firminos games were awful from day 1.

    Was dead against the masses saying he's 'fixture proof' but went with it.

    What changed?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He got an assist. The second coming apparently

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Zlatan

    3. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nothing. This place is just full of sarcastic jokers

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

      He's essential. Didn't you get the memo?

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        I did, I did 🙂

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

    Mane on borrowed time

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

    Mane soooooo lucky.

  25. Moyeschester
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Mane is due.

  26. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Time to get Mane off

  27. notidaho
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    I swapped Firmino -> Lamela

    Lamela brings down Firmino for a penalty assist.

    FPL fail

    1. notidaho
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Currently eating my words...

      Still... Firmino looks way more dangerous

  28. Wot.A.Conte
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Was going to transfer in Walker this GW but his price had just gone up. I think the Fantasy Gods are with me this year : )

  29. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Mané owners touching cloth.

  30. Ghost Ship
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    walker "unwell", not injured, per BBC

    1. Wot.A.Conte
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Shoot, sounds scarier now
