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.

    Alli is a very average footballer.

      Him and Kane peaked too soon.

            2. Nabs Kebabs
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months 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
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 7 months 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
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  Didn't know rose was an attacker

                2. Nabs Kebabs
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  😆

                  Rose isn't an attacker

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

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

                      😆

                      He wishes he owns Lamela

                3. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 7 months 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
                    9 years, 7 months ago

                    Rose and Walker are defenders.

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

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

                  3. Twisted Saltergater
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    9 years, 7 months 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
                      9 years, 7 months 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
                        • 16 Years
                        9 years, 7 months ago

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

        2. Ryan

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Got points, that matters.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months 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
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Please just rematch the match and see how influential Lamela was

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

                Rewatch not rematch

                1. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 7 months 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
                    9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Who cares, I'm talking about his FPL returns

              1. Twisted Saltergater
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

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

                1. Ryan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

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

                  1. Twisted Saltergater
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    9 years, 7 months 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
                      9 years, 7 months ago

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

            3. Nabs Kebabs
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months 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
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

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

                1. Nabs Kebabs
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 7 months 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
                    • 16 Years
                    9 years, 7 months ago

                    Salty, like it 😀

                    1. Nabs Kebabs
                      • 14 Years
                      9 years, 7 months ago

                      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
                        • 16 Years
                        9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          I know right.

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

        If you refer to the team as the scum, why do you have one of their players?

      Aside from a few moves, Spurs were very poor.

        Better second half.

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

      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.

      🙂

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

          Yes hopefully

      Own Lamela - good start for the weekend

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 7 months ago

          yes, but you own Lamela.

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

            Yes and he got points, problem is?

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 7 months ago

                He owns Lamela.

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

                  Fair point

        • Neonoryx
          • 11 Years

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

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

        • M.A.G
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Yes ..definitely keeping him after that

        • HurriKane

          Lamela essential ?

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

            Him & Firmino from their teams are the picks IMO.

          2. Konig Luther
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Firmino essential.

          3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Maybe..... just maybe.

            • 16 Years

            Prefer Lamela to Erikson or Alli and good price

        • Licky
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          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.

        • Long Juan Silva

          I feel a Lukaku hattie coming today

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

            Along with Barkley hat trick

            1. Long Juan Silva
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

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

        • Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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