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.

    Dier at RB
    Alli in CM
    Kane - 10
    Janssen up top

      • 11 Years

      Walker injury look serious?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        No, appeared to be a slight knock

  2. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Walker injured

  3. Bullet Eder
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Jansen coming on. Dier to right back, Alli to defensive midfield and Kane to number 10 would be my prediction.

      Beat you to it 😉

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

      That's a loss all around for anyone without Lamela

  4. Demí
    • 15 Years

    Who's wildcarding tonight?

    1. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Tempted.

    2. Nabs Kebabs

      Probably but depends on how my players go today.

      My tip for fellow GW4 WC'ers is to just take hits and push the button just before the GW4 deadline. This way our transfers will actually count to price changes.

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

        Could get 12 risers tonight, that's massive. And yeah, i always do that anyway, hope others follow suit. Tbh, more looking forward to seeing certain players falling in price and getting them in. Like Alexis for example, could do with him blanking again

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

    Who's dropping in at RB?

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

      Dier

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

        Thanks.

  6. Pavsboot
    • 12 Years

    Well that's annoying. Spose I'll scope out replacements.

  7. QPR Lad 92
    • 14 Years

    Come on coutinho.....had a few chances now

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

      Praying literally with all my might he does not score.

      1. QPR Lad 92
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Fair enough lol

      2. Simon69
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        You could be in trouble.

  8. Exdeo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Coutinho should score 2 goals

  9. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years

    Lol @ the lolers

  10. Somalion

    Dier moving to RB, Alli to CM it looks like

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Alli two YCs incoming

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Kane fail

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

    Dodged a bullet with Walker there. Would've had him on a WC

  13. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    That positional move bad for Alli and Kane

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

      yep

  14. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Who's getting Mane soon?

    I 'm for sure.

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

      No. He's decent against open opposition, useless against those who sit deep.

      Just another Gervinho.

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Mahrez > Mane for me maybe

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

      He's so frustrating to own ...

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Great, just great.

    At least I can cheer for a score fest now.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 24 days ago

      ouch

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

    walker > rose?

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Rose yellow

  18. Bullet Eder
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Danny Rose yellow for smashing everyone.

  19. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Rose yellow

  20. Postman Ty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    So I was thinking... How much do set pieces (primarily corners and indirect free kicks) actually detract from realistic returns? I (and most people) are always really excited to have a player on set pieces but what if we consider it meaning they are never going to be the one scoring (other than a typically rare direct free kick). And how often do they actually get credit for an assist compared to someone in the box who nods it down for someone else?

    Just a thought. All opinions welcomed.

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

      bout 68%

      1. Postman Ty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        actual stat or being cheeky?

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

      I don't know about that, but it's good for chance creation and thus baps at least.

      Fabregas was a real beneficiary of this couple years ago.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Fair point as well. I guess it just never seems like they grab many assists when I own them, or at least not in comparison to others who aren't on the set pieces. Probably just my mind playing games.

  21. Richd
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Score check: 0

    I'm delighted 😀

  22. EDEN THE MAN

    Guys, Is buying PL tickets from websites other than Official too risky?

  25. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Not a good few minutes for Spuds full backs owners

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

    Kane gets 25 minutes up top. 10.9m. Essential. > Ibra!

  27. pundit of punts
