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.

    Walker is only ill so should ply next GW... Do I take another hit to get him back in for Trippier right now?

    1. Too Mane Men
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Did the same here. Think it's best we just accept the -8 and get on with the rest of the season.

    Mane should be off

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That's a terrible tackle

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A red for that alone

  3. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Sadio looking great for a red card

  4. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mane RC incoming.

  5. TheTinman

    YC for what? Diving?

    1. Jay_
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Fouled Alli

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Okay 🙂

    Cout is very lively so far

  7. Paganoi

    As a non-Pool owner, I have crapped myself several times already in this match. Think I'll wait til the final whistle to clean up.

    1. Jay_
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Vorm is our hero

      1. Paganoi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        No doubt

  8. Too Mane Men
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Walker apparently only feeling ill. Good news for owners considering next fixtures look solid CS options.

  9. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mane should have been sent off

  10. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Why did I get Lamela?

  11. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    mane should be walking to walker now

  12. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    0-0 would be good honestly.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      nope

    2. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No way, jammy casuals loaded with Pool and Spurs defs

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        aye, og coutinho, og alli please

  13. Rainer

    Matip is a unit, borderline essential right now.

    1. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      So is mine.

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah he's something special. Very likely will be essential soon.

  14. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    Mane RC hopefully, need my Lallana more involved.

  15. Moyeschester
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mane red might cool some heads 😉

  16. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mane to be subbed early now the threat of a RC looms large.

  17. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Walker is ill and not injured

    God...

  19. Rainer

  21. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    All these people saying Walker is ill. I rated him highly before it was the cool thing.

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      🙂

  22. Worzel Gummidge

    Glad I binned Lamela on WC. Come on Pogba

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      38 minutes 🙄

      1. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        We are not even sure if Pogba didn't get a mysterious injury.

      2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Well done. You can look at the clock. Doesn't change my opinion.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Glad I bought Lamela this week. Not.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Will come good imo.

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Lamela
      -Goal GW1
      -5 Chances created GW2

      Pogba might not even be fpl relevant. Sounds pretty poor to me.

      1. JIM BOB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        This, plus there's 1.5m different in price

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 11 months ago

          For a reason

      2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Oh here comes cry baby as I slagged off his BB. Chin up lad.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          The only one acting like a cry baby here is you. Grow up lad.

      3. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        His chances created are mostly corners though

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd rather Lamela than Pogba in FPL.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 11 months ago

        haha ok.

  23. Fischy
    • 9 Years

    Clyne is so poor xD

  24. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years

    mane -> sturridge in HT

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I know he's on a yellow, but Mane has been awesome,

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        closer to RC than a goal

    2. Pavsboot
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mane has been their best.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        look up

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Soooo is Mane now in the Diego Costa category of not worth it cause he nearly got sent off or?...

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mane is reckless. Costa is a psychopath.

  26. Jay_
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Milner looking good at LB

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not hard when your predecessor is Moreno 🙂

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Need to start a petition to get his position changed. Pen taking LBs tend to come in handy!

  27. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I cant figure out where Firmino is half the time

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Look for the outdated hipster knob look.

    2. Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He's the only dude with the long tied up hair. Not difficult to find.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        It is when hes not even in the shot because hes so deep

    3. jmcclory123
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Centre mid

      1. Grounderz
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Might as well as say goalkeeper.

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      wait for it..

      1. Lone Wolf FPL

    6. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      COutnho and Mane are much further ahead of him most of the time

  28. Crystal Ball
    • 9 Years

    mane now playing up top

    At least walker has 2 weeks to recover.. GW off to a terrible start. have spurs players and it looks like they arent going to be doing anything this gw

  30. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    All I'm seeing so far is that Janssen was bought for his falling over ability.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Poor lad didn't think he'd get a game and had to play in his trainers.
