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.

    Foster-Pickford

    Shaw-Williams-Stones-McAuley-Amat

    Hazard-Mane-Firmino-Barkley-Capoue

    Ibra-Lukaku-Benteke

      feedback would be really appreciated

      Barkley for Antonio
      Or Barkley to Snods and gives you cash for kun to come back in?

      But in all fairness. It's a lovely team. I like double pool mids, they're gonna score a lot of goals this season!
      Still not sure on Lukaku but he's a good stand in for kun for now

      Personaly I wouldn't double up on Liverpool midfield. Would get in either payet or cazorla for one of them. Considering it was payets 1st game back for west ham since injury I thought he looked really good plus west ham fixture list looking good.
      Also not sure about lukaku but he could prove me wrong, as you have barkley & Williams that is enough Everton cover for their good fixtures

    Sanchez is no longer going to play every single game. Next international break he will probably be rested again. Arsenal have options now

    1. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Play on Sunday next time

      1. Tommytour
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Sorry I lie but after messing up today he should start

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          They won though

    2. Rainer

      The beast doesn't need rest! Minimum of 78 mins played after an ITB... What you on about?

    3. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Are they the same options that struggled in the first half at home against Southampton?

      Dumb comment, but still better than your persistent 'essential' comments. 😉

  3. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years

    Why is Messi not starting today?

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Getting rested for a game against the Celts. Barca worried after the 5-1 today.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        I bet on Barca today. Hopefully he will come off the bench

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Dropped.

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

      Isn't he injured?

    4. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Flew back from South America midweek...

    Comedy is,
    Buying and playing Capoue whilst your rivals have been benching him every week. 😆

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Can only applaud that

    2. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Thats the thing with him. Top scorer in the game yet probably on benches every week still

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Fair play, think I'm going to have to start playing him after the United game, nice opportunity for a 3-5-2 actually.

    4. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Granny, I learnt my lesson after GW3 mate. Capoue started for me today and will do from henceforth.

      This is great because I can get a cheap 5th mid and have 3 big hitters.

      Capoue also opens up the possibility of playing 3-5-2 and having a cheap 3rd striker on the bench. Gray looks like he's not going to be the answer for a cheap 3rd striker.

      1. Fergietime
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        amen to that, I learned my lesson and started him the past 2 game weeks.

      2. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        I would seriously consider Ineanacho or Rashford. Starting games is overrated for a 3rd striker

    5. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I finally played him too. I even benched 13m player for him!

    6. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I played him over Redmond!

  5. Laporte In A Storm
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Redmond > Zaha while he's 5.4 would let me afford Rondon > Aguero. Would mean a double up on Palace as I have Benteke. Is it too early to jump on Zaha, or is a double-up on Palace while they have the fixtures a decent play}?

  6. Lyonnais
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    WC time?

    Foster, Heaton
    Valencia, Stones, Evans, Friend, Pieters
    Sanchez, Hazard, Barkley, Redmond, Capoue
    Ibrahimovic, Costa, Gray

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      If we say yes, are you going to press it?

      1. Lyonnais
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        maybe 😀

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Yes.

      1. Lyonnais
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        activated 😉

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          😀

        2. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          In all seriousness. Nah, looks decent enough for now to me.

  7. Valar(Keith)
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Gonna do Costa and Ramirez to Antonio and Benteke this week. Time to ride bandwagons 🙁 .. even a brace tmrw may not deter me 🙂

    1. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Plan next week was Rondon to Tekkers. I think that's been cemented now

  8. wowBOBwow
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Musa vs Lucas. Grab the popcorn...

    1. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Musa hat-trick.

      Lucas 4 assists.

  9. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Mane hattie will save my GW 🙂

  10. Fpl Old Guard
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    I am sure this has probably, probably been discussed a thousand times before but Tadic should be awarded an assist for Cech own goal right?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      No.

    2. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Wrong, but Tadic has awesome underlying stats so keep him.

      If he doesn't score any points by gw 35 then sell him. 😉

      1. Teddy Brewski
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        How did it differ to Baines's assist last week?

  11. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Got no pressing issues just now.
    Should i pieters to Evans or hold FT?
    Straight 4.5 swap but pieters looking like dropping soon.
    Already have mcaulay.

    1. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'd hold and ride out the 0.1 drop.

      Stoke have better fixtures than WB coming up and Pieters could always get some attacking points despite their terrible defending thus far.

      Not sure a WB double up and transfer burned is worth it considering the upcoming fixtures.

      If Pieters looks like dropping again then maybe get rid before the second drop, otherwise hold as his fixtures get much, much better.

      Otherwise Kone at Sunderland is another good option if you must burn a transfer.

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers good points

  12. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Literally need a Hazard hatrick to save this week. It's been the worst ever.

    1. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      What are you on points wise?

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        12 from 7. 😆

        1. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Very similar to me. Last 2 weeks of transfers have killed me

    2. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Hope it happens

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Still have Ramirez?

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Yes and keeping him.

        1. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          He'll be the height of frustration this season!

    4. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Would love that too. 16 pts form 8 players.
      Hazard (c) to save the day

  13. jai1212
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Who should be the first one to go out of the team -
    A. Lamela
    B. Gray
    C. Townsend

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      All 3! B cause he'll be banned soon.

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      B if banned, otherwise A

    5. Sánchez

    6. Jasoooooooo
      • 10 Years

      Defo red arrow, about 100 would be the average for this GW

    7. PvA
      • 10 Years

      Average. I think you'll just stay in your position

    8. Chenku╰☆╮

    11. Kante Be Bothered

      Big big red

  16. Too Mane Men
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Its mad that I didn't consider playing Capoue. Valencia and Friend sat on 1 point with Dimande on 2, all started. He's getting played in every one of their good gameweeks as of today. That is 32 points benched from one player after only four weeks. The third could have been avoided.

  17. Chucky

        He had 2 before the update

  18. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    My wildcard draft looks worse than my current team.

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Then dont wildcard

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        But I want Antonio, Heaton, Snodgrass, Holebas, Firmino, Evans and Benteke.

  19. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Ville Rönkä wasted his wildcard imo.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      You lot are way too obsessed with what he does.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        This. Getting ridiculous now

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Exactly how would you ever beat him if you're just gonna copy him, what fun do people even get out of that

    2. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Typical casual knee jerker pushing the panic button

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      You own Ramirez & Bolasie. He would have a good argument in saying you're wasting your time, IMO.

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        You have Kante. 🙄

    4. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      yes he did... but he is ronka will probably still finish

    5. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Is a Ville Ronka a delicious Swiss chocolate dessert, because I'm pretty sure I've had one before?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        You've had him?

        1. devils advocate
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Pretty sure I've had two and loved every drop.

    6. Mr. Meeseeks
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I agree.

  20. Rainer

    Get Coutinho ON!

    1. PvA
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Shut up

      Need Capoue off the bench pal

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        lol

      2. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Him on kills all Capoue points in my ML...

  21. Swan - Villa Proud
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    So if we're going to play Capoue as 4th mid. Which one of these 4 would you not get? Or keep all 5 and get a cheap forward?

    Haz, Caz,Firmino, Antonio
