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.

            • 14 Years
            10 years, 24 days ago

            who was then? He was clearly the best attacker. Kane was the worst. Eriksen had a complete off day and Alli was poor.

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 24 days ago

              Rose. I don't think any of them covered themselves in glory. Liverpool deserved the win with better finishing.

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

                Didn't know rose was an attacker

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

                😆

                Rose isn't an attacker

                I don't care about who deserved to win, irrelevant to this discussion.

                1. Eden Azzzar
                  • 10 Years

                    😆

                    He wishes he owns Lamela

              3. Twisted Saltergater
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 17 Years
                10 years, 24 days ago

                Are you two a double act?? I was asked who was the best attacker. Quite often it's Rose and Walker that open teams up for Spurs. None of Spurs' front 4 played well.

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

                  Rose and Walker are defenders.

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

                  We are just pointing out you have no idea what you're talking about. Good bye

                3. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 17 Years
                  10 years, 24 days ago

                  Ok, I see I'm fighting a losing battle answering your questions honestly. Pochettino has just bought a second CDM. The reason for this is to allow Lamela and Eriksen to come inside while Rose and Walker overlap.

                  Today the front 4 didn't click. Rose was the only productive Spurs player from an attacking sense.

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

                    I think it's quite obvious what we meant when we said attackers. I know what you're trying to say but you know what we meant. We're talking about Kane/Lamela/Eriksen/Alli.

                    1. Twisted Saltergater
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 17 Years
                      10 years, 24 days ago

                      I've made my point. Would not be surprised if both Spurs FB's score more than Lamela this season.

      2. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Got points, that matters.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 24 days ago

          He might be the reason they're under performing. Spurs want a player that scores the first goal, not the 3rd or 4th.

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

            Please just rematch the match and see how influential Lamela was

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

              Rewatch not rematch

              1. Twisted Saltergater
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 17 Years
                10 years, 24 days ago

                I think you're watching the game with Lamela blinkers on. Lack of touches in the box and shots for £7m.

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

                  He had more shots in the box than Alli last season. He is only going to improve then.

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

                  Ok I'll buy Alli for 8.5 and get 2 points a game then. You make absolutely no sense

                3. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 17 Years
                  10 years, 24 days ago

                  You can buy other players in the game than Spurs players lol

          2. Ryan

            • 14 Years
            10 years, 24 days ago

            Who cares, I'm talking about his FPL returns

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 24 days ago

              You weren't. You said the team was underperforming,

              1. Ryan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 24 days ago

                Yeah, the whole team was. Lamela still got points, fair play

                1. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 17 Years
                  10 years, 24 days ago

                  He did, can't argue with that. 7 pts is a solid return based on his and Spurs performance today.

                  1. Ryan
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • Has Moderation Rights
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 24 days ago

                    So there is my point, totally valid, there you go.

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

            Lamela is the only player from their front 4 that has been any good so far this season. No idea what you're on about.

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 24 days ago

              I guarantee he won't be in your team in 2-3 weeks.

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

                LOL. I have been harping on about him all season/pre season. He will be there. You are clearly salty you don't have him 😆

                1. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 17 Years

                  Salty, like it 😀

                  1. Nabs Kebabs
                    • 14 Years

                    It's even in your name 😆

                    But seriously Lamela is excellent value, sorry you don't have him

                    1. Twisted Saltergater
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 17 Years
                      10 years, 24 days ago

                      I'd rather have a (extra) Spurs defender than spend £7m on Lamela. But keep him, I'm happy with that.

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

                I guarantee if u don't start opening you're eyes u will be around 2 million rank in 2-3 weeks

      Same. Coutinho goal or Spurs CS would have done serious damage.

        • 13 Years

        I know right.

        Firmino and Lamela not highly owned and they scored just an assist.

      Better second half.

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

        Agree but still could have been pumped. 2 or 3 attacks where their passing was brutal, let Pool get on the counter and if not for last ditch defending they could have conceded.

  20. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 10 Years

    That ball through to Firmino was putrid! Should have been 1 on 1 with Vorm! Horrible!

    Lamela grabs 2 bonus points. Lovely start to the GW.

      Could change after the game. Though, I hope it stays that way.

      yes, but you own Lamela.

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

        Yes and he got points, problem is?

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 24 days ago

          He owns Lamela.

    10 from 2. Glad i kept Firmino and swapped Ali for Lamela.

    Palace playing 4-4-2, Benteke Whickham up top. Interesting

    Good game from Firmi , better than the last 2 matches at least

      Yes ..definitely keeping him after that

    Lamela essential ?

      Him & Firmino from their teams are the picks IMO.

    2. Konig Luther

      Firmino essential.

      Maybe..... just maybe.

      Prefer Lamela to Erikson or Alli and good price

    Klopp really needs to change things in midfield. Incredibly foolish to rely on Henderson as the holding player with no protection from Wijnaldum or Lallana.

    Happy with lamela + firmino
    Annoyed by RFM and Walker so far. Have an injured friend on bench, and a non playing smith too.
    Looks like azpi might be my only playing defender.

    I feel a Lukaku hattie coming today

      Along with Barkley hat trick

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Never in his wildest career highlights reel will Barkley be scoring a hat-trick...

    The dream is for Firmino to jump to one bap over Rose and Lamela to stay on 2.
