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.

    Janmaat on the bench. Kabesele and Kaboul starting for Watford.

      Walcott up front for Arsenal.

    damnn eriksen should have scored for a guy of his quality

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

      Lamela would score.

      1. devils advocate
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Firmino would have scored that.

  3. caio89

    I suppose Klopp will take Mané off for Sturridge - more Firmino assists incoming!

  4. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Eriksen surely needs to hit the target there

  5. KingOllie
    • 10 Years

    Id say after aguero, firmino is now almost essential. Oop 8.4 mid. Who plays for the top side in england

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

      Top side.

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      With one assist after 3 games?!

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

        Check again after 38.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Why? We can check now and it is 1 assist after 3 games.

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

            3 games is too few to tell if a player will score well.

      Until the Studge sorts himself out

    5. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Firmino and Mario Gotze will be the most owned players in fpl by gw 5.

      Mark my words.

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

    SHould have laid it to Lamela there

  7. Geri-hatricks
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I hope Mane doesn't score.

    I want to get him on the cheap and as a differential.

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

      This.

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Shhhh

  8. Wurstmuncher

    57 min "Turns out the goal was rightly disallowed - Lallana, who played it across to Mane, was fractionally ahead of the last man. There was confusion because the scorer Mane was well behind the ball so could not have been offside. But it was an excellent piece of assistant refereeing from the assistant referee."

      I think it was too tight to make that call in real time. Its even hard to tell in a freeze frame. Line calls should be given as goals imo

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

    Lamela out for sure.

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      why? you dont want spurs or their best player currently?

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yawn

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

    The Liverpool attack reminds me of the Arsene Wenger approach of picking it out a hat and hoping for the best. No wonder they are so up and down.

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

      Nah, he'll walk it off.

  11. makaveli123

    After watching about 15 seasons with Premier League, I can't recall a worse haircut than the one Firmino has right now.

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

      Jason Lee before your time !

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

        Pineapple:)

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

        Jason Lee's haircut was culturally and of a time acceptable.

        Firmino just looks like an outdated hipster knob.

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

      I'd say Gervinho/Sagna double up.

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

      Fellaini slips under the radar too much

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Poor man's Kevin Keegan

    4. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years

      Mulan would be proud

    5. devils advocate
      • 12 Years

      Nasri says hi.

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

    That was silly from lamela

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

    Toby A reminding us why hes so expensive

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. Will easily get 3-4 goals in the season.

  14. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Migs racking up some saves now

  15. BoomXhakaLaca1

    Bring on Robbie Brady 😉

  16. Wurstmuncher
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Kun, essential
    Ibra, essential
    Hazard, essential
    Firmino, not so much

  17. pokern1nja09
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    It's too hard to find the extra 0.4 for mane over firmino though.

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

    Spurs waking up for the 4th time this match.

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

    Firmino not even in the baps

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

      1-0 defenders always get in on the action.

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

      Missed chances.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      and you expected he would be? 🙂

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

        Got an assist and created a big chance. Its possible

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

      When he scores he will be

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

    Kane is a joke hahaha

  21. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Terrible touch from Kane

  22. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Which 'pool midfielder to get will be the headache during international break. The £ saved by choosing Firmino or Coutinho over Mane makes it's possible to get Lukaku over e.g. Rondon.

  23. Geri-hatricks
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Poor from Kane

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

    Pay me half Kane's wages and I can guarantee you I'll mess up that pass just as badly every time.

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

      Yeah but can you speak like Frankenstein?

      Kane is making me consider changing citizenship.

    love what jennsen just did

  29. Lxnzini
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Really not sure who's the better pick between Firmino @8.4 or Mane @8.9. Opinions?

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mane, involved in everything. Assist incoming with origi on

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

      Mane will explode one week

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

      Firmino owners will say he is essential.

      Firmino sellers will say 1 assist in 3gw is not worth it.

      Casuals will be screaming at bringing in courthino in gw2 and seeing no outcome...
