Saturdays’s events conclude at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will host champions Leicester City.

The big teamsheet news is that Klopp has made the decision to keep Philippe Coutinho on the bench, despite flying him back early from international duty with Brazil. That allows Daniel Sturridge to earn a second start of the season, whilst Lucas has to come into to central defence with Dejan Lovren ruled out with an injury sustained in training.

Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City are unchanged as they bid to build on their 2-1 win over Swansea City in Gameweek 3. There’s no place on the bench for new signing Islam Slimani.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Would you wildcard?

  11. Robe Wan

    I'm assuming everyone else benched capoue for all three hauls?

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Painful.

    2. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes (possibly coming on this week for Coutinho but won't hold my breath)

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've got 2 in my mini leagues who didn't. One is actually high in the HOF.

      Half of me thinks how is he in HOF. Then other half thinks maybe this is why

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of the following moves

    gray to lukaku for free is a decent move?

    lamela to antonio for an additional -4?

    1. tm245
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both good moves and worth the hit IMO. Antonio price rises alone make it worth it.

    2. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela back next week surely?

      1. Yankee Toffee
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, but for who? I feel like Poch has to play Son now.

        Kane
        Eriksen Alli Son

        I think he'll be a super sub, imo

    3. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking about Lamela > Antonio.

      Btw, Antonio set to rise.

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Lamela

    5. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I did the exact same move this gw on my WC, so it's been a good move so far.

      If it feels good do it.

  13. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any Hammers alive out there??? Will Zaza get dropped?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      why would he

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Confirmed.

  14. davies

    Averages?

    1. Rainer

      1. Lawrø
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wow, is that a guess?

        1. Rainer
          10 years, 1 month ago

          FFFix.

          A Spurs clean sheet when under the radar, a LOT of the game own one...

          1. Lawrø
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers guys, higher than expected!

    2. Xuey
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Is 25 including BAPs?

  15. Bellerinmondo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone watch the Arsenal game, how did Redmond look?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Worth keeping for Swansea.

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Decent

    3. 7alwachi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looked good in the first half, keep him for the Swansea game if you still own him.

    4. Arteta
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Solid.

    5. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good q

      Thanks for the replies

      1. Yankee Toffee
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Looked good and Long was dreadful as well.

    6. Bellerinmondo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      cheers all

  16. Murph1
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone tell me why Cech's OG hasn't gone down as a Tadic assist (on sky)?

    Baines identical assist for Given's OG was awarded just two weeks ago!

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      FPL moves in mysterious ways

    2. The Donald
      10 years, 1 month ago

      the baines assist was from a penalty, very different situation 😉

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Penalty vs free kick might be an issue.

  17. Freddie Cutecat
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Re-post

    So Baines has his penalty saved last week, only for it to rebound off the post and hit the keeper and go in the goal- and he gets an assist

    But Tadic strikes a free kick only for it to be saved, hit the crossbar and rebound off the keeper into the goal- and gets no assist

    Anyone have a good explanation for that?

    Before anyone says that baines pen was not saved- Given was awarded 5 points for a pen save last gameweek so that cannot be used as an argument

    I feel I should say something officially

    1. Lawrø
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Contentious assists can get added retrospectively, don't worry about it. If it isn't added by the time the leagues update tonight then you have reason to complain.

    2. some witty pun
      10 years, 1 month ago

      cech saved tadic's freekick

      just a guess

      1. Freddie Cutecat
        10 years, 1 month ago

        As I explained in my post

        Given also saved baines penalty

        So that argument is not valid

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cech tipped the ball onto the bar, then it hit him and went in, so the last touch before the own goal was not by Tadic ?

  18. HuttonDressedasLahm
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino looks like a bumper car 🙂

  19. ANDER.
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Collins to Holebas good?

  20. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm going to make all these lost points today back in GW6 with an angry Kun demolishing Swansea!

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ?? Everyone else will also have him??

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      hopefully not with his elbows

    3. Mull
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane got 6 more points than him this week. 😎

      1. Rainer
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Fair play for sticking, could reward you greatly next week!

  21. The Donald
    10 years, 1 month ago

    20 points on the bench absolutely devastating

  22. More Tragic
    10 years, 1 month ago

    " Sanchez is nailed, Sanchez doesn't do rest, Sanchez (c) "

    LOL

    1. The Donald
      10 years, 1 month ago

      he's nailed, but apparently he does rest

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't need to rest. Wenger is just a fool.

    3. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Haha

      This won't go down well with the Sanchez captainers

    4. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A minimum of 78 mins played after ITB, the machine doesn't need rest...

    5. Arteta
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can we stop with this now? It is what it is. Get over it.

  23. Grand Thibauto
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Beating the scout picks by 2 points with Mane, Williams, Courtois against their Costa, Baines. Going to be very close unless Costa fires.

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You need Mane to explode

      1. Grand Thibauto
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Very much. I also want Costa to explode as I have capped him. Mixed feeling.

        1. Chucky
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I am with you on this one.Mane and (C)osta owner here 🙂

          1. Grand Thibauto
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I hope both your choices pay off quite well

  24. Mull
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Nice of them to not cut off You'll Never Walk Alone for once.

  25. Eden Azzzar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can relax this game no players #blessing

    1. Mull
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's not how this game works.

      1. Eden Azzzar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Don't care how players do in this game I'm tired of fpl for tonight

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Goodnight xx

    2. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately not the way it works, mate. More stressful than ever. Points on the table for many rivals. You want a 1-1 draw with no involvement from Firmino, Mane, Coutinho, Mahrez or Vardy.

    3. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You should be watching behind your sofa if you have no players and hope for a 1-1 with 2 OGs

      You'll learn with time

  26. Whazza
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lamela and Gray -> Antonio and Iheanacho (-4) ?

    Will WC gw6 to get kun...

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Whazza
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Why?

  27. Arteta
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gooooo Vardy!

  28. S.Kuqi

    This saturday evening fpl depression...wish it was int. break again

    1. HurriKane
      10 years, 1 month ago

  29. HurriKane
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester payed silliy money for slimani just to keep him on the bench 😀

    1. davies
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not even on the bench - we won last week so he has to wait.

    2. Grand Thibauto
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How does Okazaki starts I'll never know

      1. Whazza
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They won the league with him starting

        1. Grand Thibauto
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Musa is a better player.

    3. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Met his team mates for the first time 12 hours ago

  30. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Higuain looking good value already 🙂
