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

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

  2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Mane should be off

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That's a terrible tackle

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A red for that alone

  3. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sadio looking great for a red card

  4. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mane RC incoming.

  5. TheTinman

    YC for what? Diving?

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Fouled Alli

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Okay 🙂

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Cout is very lively so far

    3. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      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, 7 months ago

          Vorm is our hero

          1. Paganoi
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            No doubt

      2. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

      3. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Mane should have been sent off

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

        Why did I get Lamela?

      5. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        mane should be walking to walker now

      6. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        0-0 would be good honestly.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          nope

        2. Ziro
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          No way, jammy casuals loaded with Pool and Spurs defs

          1. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            aye, og coutinho, og alli please

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

        Matip is a unit, borderline essential right now.

        1. Paganoi
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          So is mine.

        2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

      8. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Mane RC hopefully, need my Lallana more involved.

      9. Moyeschester
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Mane red might cool some heads 😉

      10. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

      11. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Walker is ill and not injured

        God...

      13. Rainer

        When is Harry Kane going to join up with the Spurs team for this season?

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

            1. Ziro
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

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

            2. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 7 months ago

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

              Glad I bought Lamela this week. Not.

                • 14 Years

                Will come good imo.

            4. Nabs Kebabs
              • 14 Years

              Lamela
              -Goal GW1
              -5 Chances created GW2

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

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                This, plus there's 1.5m different in price

                    9 years, 7 months ago

                    For a reason

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

                    9 years, 7 months ago

                    His chances created are mostly corners though

                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  I'd rather Lamela than Pogba in FPL.

                  1. Worzel Gummidge
                      9 years, 7 months ago

                      haha ok.

                  1. JIM BOB
                    • 9 Years
                    9 years, 7 months ago

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

                    1. Lone Wolf FPL
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 7 months ago

                      closer to RC than a goal

                  2. Pavsboot
                    • 11 Years
                    9 years, 7 months ago

                    Mane has been their best.

                    1. Lone Wolf FPL
                      • 10 Years

                  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, 7 months ago

                    Mane is reckless. Costa is a psychopath.

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

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