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

      10 years, 1 month ago

      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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Play on Sunday next time

      1. Tommytour
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry I lie but after messing up today he should start

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          10 years, 1 month ago

          They won though

    2. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month 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

    Why is Messi not starting today?

    1. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. OPTA FPL
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dropped.

    3. Arteta
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't he injured?

    4. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can only applaud that

    2. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    5. Arteta
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    6. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I played him over Redmond!

  5. Laporte In A Storm
    10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    WC time?

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

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Lyonnais
        10 years, 1 month ago

        maybe 😀

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

      1. Lyonnais
        10 years, 1 month ago

        activated 😉

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 1 month ago

          😀

        2. Epic Fail
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

  7. Valar(Keith)
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  8. wowBOBwow
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Musa vs Lucas. Grab the popcorn...

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Musa hat-trick.

      Lucas 4 assists.

  9. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mane hattie will save my GW 🙂

  10. Fpl Old Guard
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.

    2. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  11. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers good points

  12. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What are you on points wise?

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        10 years, 1 month ago

        12 from 7. 😆

        1. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hope it happens

    3. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Still have Ramirez?

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yes and keeping him.

        1. Rainer
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He'll be the height of frustration this season!

    4. The Left Duke #3
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  13. jai1212
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Bellerinmondo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B if banned, otherwise A

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    4.5m Leicester defender alert with Hernandez

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I don't want a Leicester defender.

  15. Chenku╰☆╮

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    4. makaveli123
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Stop joking.

    5. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably a red

    6. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    7. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    8. Chenku╰☆╮
      10 years, 1 month ago

      dam it.. sorry chaps was supposed to be 28 pts ..

    9. Rainer

      Rubbish.

      Close your account immediately and take up knitting as a hobby.

      Thank me later.

    11. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Big big red

  16. Too Mane Men
    10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    arghh Payet lost his BAP 🙁

    1. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Where do you see these bonus stats already?

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 1 month ago

        FPL. Click on a fixture.

      2. Chucky
        10 years, 1 month ago

        FPL

    2. Epic Fail

      Didn't have any. Baps are given after the final whistle.

      1. OPTA FPL
        10 years, 1 month ago

        nice troll

      2. OPTA FPL
        10 years, 1 month ago

        he got 1

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Must have found it.

    3. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Do you know where he last left it?

    4. Fred54
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lost a BAP, or gained a BAP?

      1. Chucky
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He had 2 before the update

  18. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My wildcard draft looks worse than my current team.

    1. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Then dont wildcard

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  19. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ville Rönkä wasted his wildcard imo.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You lot are way too obsessed with what he does.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This. Getting ridiculous now

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Typical casual knee jerker pushing the panic button

    3. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You have Kante. 🙄

    4. Chenku╰☆╮
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    5. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You've had him?

        1. devils advocate
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

    6. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I agree.

  20. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Get Coutinho ON!

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shut up

      Need Capoue off the bench pal

      1. OPTA FPL
        10 years, 1 month ago

        lol

      2. Rainer
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  21. Swan - Villa Proud
    10 years, 1 month 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
