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.

    Sitter missed

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Should've been Firmino assist, Coutinho goal

  2. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    Coutinho has to score there!!

    First heart-in-mouth moment.

      Coutinho waste easy chance, Firmino assist

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino looking dangerous!! ESSENTIAL!

    • Bushido
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firminho should have had an assist. Coutinho is poo.

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Oh my god.

    • Moyeschester
      • 10 Years

      Thanks Firm. Knut.

    • Baby Face Nelson

      Stuani worth a punt? Easiest way to get Ibra in without a hit

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I have him. Excited and nervous. I know he will miss a game or 2 but we have a bench for that

          1. JIM BOB
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Not if he comes on for a cameo

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 7 months ago

                He wont but still dont care

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            It's a terrible pick - even as your eighth attacker. You'd do better with Capoue or Diomande in that role.

        • Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Coutinho - YOU PLONKER!!

        • RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Casuals in tears.

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          oh dear Coutinho, shocker of a miss

        • Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You dare score Coutinho, just you dare!

        • Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Would it be fair to say
          FFS: Kun (c)
          Casuals: Ibra (c)

          1. Bushido
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I have Ibra as captain. I guess that makes me a casual 🙁

          2. Eden Azzzar
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I'm a casual yes

          3. Play Pal
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Pretty much

        • Arteta
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          What a save! Thank you Vorm!

        • FISSH
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Wow how did that not go in.

        • Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          How can you miss that. He's so bad at shooting

          1. FISSH
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Can't believe it

          2. sminkypinky
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Worse than Sterling?

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              No

            2. Bushido
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Sterling's in a league of his own. He reminds me of gervinho.

        • Kaneyonero
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          What a miss

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Firmino assist too, thank christ

        • Lizard Lips
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Don't get why Firmino has been sold so much. Clearly a bargain.

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            He's been tearing it up so far

            1. Lizard Lips
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Two games. Players blank. He's clearly someone who can bring back the bacon and will do so over the season. Great value for money.

              1. Epic Fail
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                He might and probably will be a good buy, but there is nothing clear about it until the points start coming.

                1. Lizard Lips
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  All mutually exclusive to me. Good luck anyway sellers. Swapping for Barkley as many have will prove to be a poor choice imho.

                2. Lizard Lips
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  Great to see you again btw 🙂

          2. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Not sure how that's been clear so far this season

          3. MDK
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Surely he's only a bargain if he scores more than the standard 2 points a game?

          4. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 7 months ago

              A bargain that isn't getting you points?

            • Lizard Lips
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Two games is a ridiculously short time to be judging someone. Clearly got a Norwich haul in him.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            He missed it because Firminio passed it to him

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Not sure how that's been clear so far this season 😀

            Breathes a sigh of relief as the 30% ownership man misses a sitter.

              He didn't take the shot

            Coutinho doesn't have Firmino in his FPL team

            1. Jimmers
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years

            Good god. No Liverpool or Tottenham cover. And already big fat chances. I am gonna regret that Firmino > Barkley-transfer.

                A man can only hope. And pray. And hide behind the couch.

            • 12 Years

            Wish Firmino had just taken a shot there instead of passing it to that donk
