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.

      Gutted I dropped him and missed an assist.

    3. Mull
      • 15 Years

      It's an assist for a penalty. Calm down.

      100% agree, great post!

      Yes a CF who has one assist in 3 games and has only played a part in 2 of liverpools last 15 goals?! Yes surely he is essential

      lol @ Basil for owning someone who's done nothing but get an assist in three weeks.

    8. HVT
      • 15 Years

      It was always gonna happen

    9. Arteta

      Can't have them all.

      Everybody thinks liverpool are going to score a shed load and 8.5 million oop is cheap as chips!!

    I know people like to see local kids given a chance to prove themselves but Spurs need to buy a big name striker before the window closes. This Kane kid just isn't up to the pace of the PL.

    1. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      One year wonder.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 14 Years

      Lol

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      They need a winger.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      No need to when Dembele returns GW5

    5. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      This is what we said this time last season...

    6. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Agreed, once the premier league defenders learned his style they completely shut him down...good striker but not built for the premier league

      1. Bushido
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        He's scored 20+ goals two seasons in a row.

  3. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Sturridge on for Mane gonna happen soon.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      At 59th min, please

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        That would be nice. lol

  4. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Eriksen close...

    1. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Close to corner.

  5. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    I think Firmino slips into the essential category now. Or as near to it as anyone.

    Probably outscore Ibra twice this weekend

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Wat is.going.on here

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 12 Years

      Just shut up.

    3. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Did everyone who owns firmino just decide to take mushrooms this morning? You're all dreaming in technicolor

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Have you not seen Firmino's Chakra stats?

  6. Geri-hatricks
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Give it to Lamela!

    1. Strawberry Jelavic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Steady on, he's not in prison

  7. Jamie_GAWA
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Looks like Firmino has scored a brace going off the comments here.

    *checks score*

    Well that was a disappointment... Apparently it was genius too keep him.. He dropped in price and got 3 points lol

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Mugs everywhere on here

  8. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Firmino owner. Even though Mane looks like getting a red i think he's the best pool option.

    1. zotter
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Yes. Though both good

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Yes needs to watch those wreckless challenges but my preferred option as well

    3. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Looks like everything is coming through Mane and Cout, also I imagine Sturridge will actually start next week so Firmino will be pushed out wide.

  9. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    LOL @ Firmino owners saying its only an assist. You would have erupted if you didn't sell...

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Think you got this comment wrong. Unlucky

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      If I start erupting for an assist after 3 games it's a very sad indication of how bad my FPL team would be

    • 15 Years

    What happened to Walker.
    How bad is the injury?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Just ill, not injured

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      He wasn't injured, just illness.

    3. Wot.A.Conte
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Worse than an injury-- he's "unwell"

    4. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Sore vag apparently.

  11. SilkySkills

    lol

  12. Parm

    I still don't know what players get out of arguing with the referee other than a yellow card.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Some of them find challenging authority figures arousing.

  13. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Matip almost in

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      😆

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years

        😉

  14. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Vertonghen used to have a massive attacking threat, what happened to it? 😕

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Belgian centre backs whose last name begins with a V tend to start well.

    2. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Is that code for something?

  15. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Spurs defenders + Dier owned by casuals. Love It!

  16. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Matip inches away from celebrating

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Matip entering the box

    2. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Matip tired.

  17. zotter
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Once pool fixtures ease and can and karius back. Matip gold

  18. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Matip is such a giant.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      That's what my mom said...oh wait.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Interesting route to go with that pun... 😯

        😆

        Can i meet your mum please?

  19. Jay_
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Will be gutted of Williams, Bolasie and Benteke start, wanted them on WC but left out because of managers comments.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Benteke won't, don't worry. Unfortunately.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I dont think any of the 3 will. Cant be WC'ing players in who aren't starting. Did the right thing!

    3. Strawberry Jelavic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I'm in a similar boat, had bolasie and batshuayi in but only this morning is there more definite talk that they will start. Went with Mirallas and Rondon instead!

  20. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 25 days ago

    A Spurs goal would be nice

    The thoughts of a Liverpool CS after Matip not conceding that penalty is painful.

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      It's ok, nobody has Liverpool defenders anyway.

      1. devils advocate
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Liverpool defender now essential.

  21. Make United Great Again

    Still waiting for Liverpool to hit that's self destruct button

  22. Golden Oldies

    Kone, Borini and Pienarr all off the Sunderland team bus at Southampton...look to have passed fitness tests

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 25 days ago

      The fitness test is simply stepping off a bus? Man they are really cutting corners at Sunderland now that Big Sam has left...

  23. teddyp

    The Liverpool assistant coach looks just like Klopp. Kloppleganger!

      Fitness coach
