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.

    Kane to be the best 6.5 striker option by Christmas?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Just don't bench him vs Chelsea

  3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    Golly Gosh i'm glad i didn't go with my preseason hunch of one Harry Kane.

  4. Mull

    Anyone mentioning Dembele within 5 words of Kane should get a 15 minute ban.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      U did 4. Can we get a ban over here?

      1. Mull
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        As a Kane owner I'm off to bang my head against a wall for 15 minutes.

        1. Eden Azzzar
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          People actually own him I thought it was a myth 🙂

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

      Anyone who has Kane should be banned.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Harry + Dembele then

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

      Jonty should breathe out of his mouth for the entire next Scoutcast.

    5. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Kane might prove to be essential once Dembele is back

  5. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Should I watch SOU-SUN (Redmond, Davis) or CPL-BOU (Benteke)?

    1. faver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      soton, switch after 1st goal for bou

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      CPL-BOU

    Did that chap, that just came on for Spurs, go to a fancy dress party last night?

  7. Gerbs
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    LOL at the multiple "why would anyone spend more in ibra when Kane is a better option" followed by the "shhh don't tell anyone" messages before the season

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Cool story bro.

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

      I reckon Kane will finish the season with more goals.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Yep agree.

    3. Eden Azzzar

      No idea what you are talking about

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

      The best was Rooney + 2.5m & pens > Ibra...

    6. devils advocate
      • 12 Years

      I'd rather have Rooney plus 2.7 mil to spend elsewhere, lol.

    Kane price drop incoming

    1. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years

      Good question

    2. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No one knows.

    3. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nothing, but he is a Liverpool captain and therefore a key cog for England

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years

      Used car salesman.

    5. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years

      Ambles around like a duck with anger management issues.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Most appt description IMHO.

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

      He's a bricklayer by trade but loves getting out on the pitch with the lads on weekends.

    Barber: What chu want fam?

  12. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Should of pulled the trigger on Gray > Benteke!

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

      why? neither have scored yet

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Don't fancy Grays chances against Chelsea, hopefully he proves me wrong though!

  13. Cantona90
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Did Jonty do Firmino to Barkley? I like to know what he's doing because he's the best out of the main contributors.

    1. Lyonnais
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      he did

    2. Eskimooo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Sure Granville Isn't the best ? 🙂

  14. Les Bleus
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    There will be an absolute fire sale for Kane the next 2 weeks. Will be good to get him when my TV is a bit higher.

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

      He'll be a great option around gw 7 imo.

      Didn't get going until gw 8 last season from memory.

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    I'm the only one in both of my main leagues that hasn't (C) Aguero and I am currently top in both. Gulp. Really hope my 'gamble' on Zlatan pays off.

  16. DanwiseTheBrave
    • 15 Years

    seeing Onomah makes me feel like a pint of Guinness

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      😀

    2. Bartowski
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      What kind of weird ass ginger Guinness do you drink?

      1. DanwiseTheBrave
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        How did you know I was a ginger

    Wanyama MOTM?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      ...

    2. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Lamelaaaaaaa?

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

      He's picked up a bit towards the end, but I've counted at least 4 times he's passed it straight back to Pool in vulnerable positions.

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

    Best striker in the world coming on for Mane

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Solomon Kalou gone to pool?

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

        You know it 😎

  19. Cantona90
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    God he's arrogant Sturridge. Really don't like him.

    1. Cantona90
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      If he stopped thinking he was the best player in the world he might be better.

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

        I can't profess to have insight into his internal thoughts, personally.

        1. Cantona90
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          I can. He's never actually injured he just doesn't like working weekends.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 24 days ago

      In what way is he arrogant?

  20. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Lamela has easily been the best attacking player for Spurs today.

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

      And for Liverpool too.

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

        to*

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Yep but more directed towards all those bashing him at HT

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

      Half time he was muck, great to see him back to essential

  21. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Studgeeee

  22. Syd.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Triggerlips is on?

  23. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Did Sturridge just moonwalk onto the pitch?

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

      Yes

    2. Paganoi
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      LMAO! I was just typing the same thing. I think so.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He always does its his ritual thingy

  24. Acquafresca
    • 15 Years

  25. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    This game had 1-1 written all over it, no?

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

    Sturridge on with 2 minutes to go makes a whole lot of sense

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

    Phew, Mane goes off safely without a goal so I can get him at 8.9m and as a differential 😎

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Wait for him to turn 8.8 and then get him

  30. Dr Dream

    What happened to Walker?

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years

      Illness.

    2. KingNidge

      1. Dr Dream
