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.

      I had 2 Fts GW 3 so i felt compelled to use one on Firmino to Pogba for a punt instead of wasting it 🙁 .. i then went and swapped Pogba out for Sterling 🙁

      1. Shifty
        10 years, 1 month ago

        same. had 2 free, decided to use one to avoid the price swing between Firmino and Barkley.

        Pfft, what do I know.

    What this week has taught everyone what they already knew.

    Be patient with your assets and your fortitutude will pay dividends.

      I was patient and I got nothing in return.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So much this. Try to stick to a rule of no points hit unless you can't field an 11 & it kind of forces you to stick with your players for longer periods of time. For all those who got Barkley in for Firmino a few weeks back... The worst thing you could do is now get rid of Barkley as he could well score next week & then your into that vicious circle of chasing chasing last week's points, which usually ends in tears. Next week is another GW, there'll be more suprises in store!

  14. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

    I want Antonio but can't have him. 🙁

    1. 1NVINCIBLES

      Why? Can you help me below? I'm trying to fit him in.

      Jesus, ok I'll come back here in a couple hours then.

            Sorry for that 🙂

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

      I don't think anyone here. We all love Firmino.

    3. Davido989
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A lot of people. Some theory that he doesn't get points when a striker plays. Lol!

      1. Pariße
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nonsense. Premium and underpriced 🙂

    4. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Start of the season he was essential, burned a lot of people today 🙂

    5. Shifty
      10 years, 1 month ago

      sold for Barkley in GW3 😎

      i never learn with those Everton boys...

      1. Pariße
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Barkley still has a game to play, but hard to overcome Firmino. Especially given the trolls the Evertonians are.

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think he is under priced by the game tbh, he really shouldnbe 9.0 or 9.5 afterbthe season he had last year. The fact that he was 8.5 means you can afford a couple of blanks from him without panicking too much... He's one of those great FPL players whose game is rewarded really well by the FPL scornmg system.

      1. Pariße
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed. I think he's a 9.5m player, but maybe the 8.5m price scares some off, because people imagine he's not premium with that price.

    Heaton Pickford
    Valencia Baines Masuaku Kone Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Antonio Payet Sterling
    Costa Defoe Diomande

    0.3 M ITB. 1 FT

    What would you probably do?

    Sterling > Firmino??

    Or wait till Sterling finishes Bournemouth

  17. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sod it,

    we might as well make Capoue our 4th mid.

    32 pts benched in 3 games

    1. Pariße
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I was lucky enough to have watched him play and see he is indeed good enough for the 4th spot.

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

    At this rate the only option will be to swap Ibrahimovic for Aguero when he returns

  19. Jet5605
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What are the chances of Antonio going up by 0.2 this week? I see he's due to rise tonight.

    I want to do Tadic > Antonio but only after Saints play Swansea and if he rises by 0.2 I won't have enough money ITB

    1. Shakshuka
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Very likely

      1. Jet5605
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So worth bringing him in tonight for Tadic and hoping he blanks against Swansea? Tadic (or Saints) not exactly on fire

    Who'd you rather have from Lallana and Son for the next 3-4 GWs?

    1. 1NVINCIBLES
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana is more nailed I think.
