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 Pope
    Valencia Stones Evans Friend Love
    Sanchez Hazard Mane Ramirez Capoue
    Ibrahimović Lukaku Rondon

    1FT, 1.1m in the bank.

    Similarly to LateRiser, I was thinking of going for GW6 Wildcard. Strongly considering ditching Ramirez. Friend and Rondon are unfortunately still an issue. Should I target 6.6m midfield options or reassess on Friday?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Rondon to Tekkers for a 1 GW punt!

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        West Ham look so shaky at the back, they just conceded 4 goals against Watford... I just can't justify taking out Rondon with this fixture ahead of him. 🙁

          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No chance a West Brom game finishes 4-2 though...

  1. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    One very happy wildcarder here!
    Brought in capoue, antonio, cazorla, benteke & firmino.
    Hazard (c) costa & williams to go.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Very good job!

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Is Capoue points on the bench

        1. Squires FC
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah but can't complain

  2. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Foster pickford
    Amat collins williams robertson pieters
    Hazard mane cazorla capoue snodgrass
    Ibra lukaku kane

    Or is it too much chasing points

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Slow down!

  3. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any striker cheaper than Negredo worth getting in for Negredo in the short term?

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Short-term? Iheanacho

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheaper than 6.7 sell on value. He's 6.9.
        And i mean 3-4 games not 1.

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          One of the Southampton strikers may be alright, Swansea (H), West Ham (A), Leicester (A) and Burnley (H) are tremendous fixtures attacking-wise. You just need to get the one that starts. 😉

    1. Gazj11
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Deeney? Not sure if he's cheaper though!

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        6.9 - same as Iheanacho and Negredo. But surely he got Negredo for a lower price, though.

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Aye. 6.7 or less then.

          1. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Wilson or Rondon.

            prefer Wilson since bourmouth is more attacking than westbrom

  4. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    1 FT. Ramirez -> Antonio

    Pull the trigger?

      something needs to give...

      Game isn't just about penalties.

      1. hixen
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        True, but Carzola is 2m itb vs Özil and 3.5m itb vs Sanchez.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Could say the same about Milner vs Pool mids.

    redmond for antonio or firmino this week? getting the other in the week after.

    redmond, townsend, hazard, barkley, capoue

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firm

    2. GARYNEVILLESTASH
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I just did Redmond to Antonio for a hit.
      I however already had Mane, which affects my opinion.

  9. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If Lukaku does not play I get Antonio as C and Capoue to play... Hope he does play and does more than 10 pts..

    1. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He will play. Could just as easily be 2 as it could be 10 with him though

    2. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why wouldn't he play?

  10. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

    I am on 22 - 4 I captained Negredo. VC snodgrass so I feel a bit sickened!

    However I did not use a wildcard like many did this week

    I am just curious how the wildcarders did in comparison did many have the foresight to get in liverpool players for example?

    What is the general post wildcard vibe on here?

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm happy I got on the Antonio and Tekkers train.
      But it's cancelled out with the fact I took Firmino out, etc.

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Captaining Negredo is a bit dense I'm afraid mate

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Would have done Aguero and Firmino to Lukaku and Sanchez for a hit probably. Would have had Lamela instead of Antonio, Gray instead of Benteke; Redmond Foster Valencia Stones Friend instead of Ozil Cech Williams Masuaku McAuley wouldn't have made much difference though. So overall playing my wc was probably best for me, certainly since I opted for Firmino over Sterling.

  11. Slam

    TM, have you got a rough estimate of the safety score so far?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. It's a weird week with average beating Top 10K.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Top 10k must mean less early on though so they'll fall out of it mostly I'd imagine

  12. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Must be some horrendous scores on here today and that's not even considering the Fenley WCs

  13. Nascimento
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Triggerfinger dedicates his life to this game and then has to read all these posts about the Ronke bloke that isn't even interested enough to post on here, while barely getting a mention himself. Got to be gutting.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ronka only spends 5 mins a week on FPL

      1. Nascimento
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Got to laugh.

        triggerfinger?

        1. Nascimento

          That's not his name is it? Am sure it's something finger.

          1. MTPockets
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Intentional irony?

        Anyone thinking of a template WC team now?

        1. MTPockets
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Good that things aren't so template now, but finding it very difficult to decide on poteential wc squad.

            You go 3-5-2 without Capoue?

          3. Carpe Diem
            • 9 Years

        3. @SirAustinDangerPowers
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Have a team similar to a few people...WC still to play

          Foster Jaku
          Valencia Williams Stones Friend BSmith
          Hazard Ozil Coutinho Lamela LCook
          Zlatan Lukaku Benteke

          Main issues Coutinho and Lamela not starting.
          Who to transfer out? And get Antonio or not?

        4. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Thoughts on a 352 with Capoue as 5th mid moving forward? Could have Sanchez/Ozil, Hazard, Mane/Firmino and Antonio as the others.

          1. Gazj11
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I think 3-5-2 is the way to go. So many options for MIDS

        5. The Wise Owl
          • 10 Years

          Tadic now has the assist.

          Good news for Tadic Owners 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Lamela -> Antonio with Antonio playing Brom and Lamela playing Sunderland.

          Not having it.

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Lamela will start you think

            Selling when at home to blunderland maybe asking for trouble yes

          2. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            100%. Pulis will play a CB at LB to counteract it!

          3. Carpe Diem
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Who does Lamela come back in over? Son, Eriksen and Alli all had brilliant games

            1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              lamela has been key this season but yes all had good games

              maybe son is my guess

            2. Lateriser 12
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              But he's also been their best player in the first three games.

              1. Carpe Diem
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                He hasn't really though, had a shocker against Liverpool. Don't think Son is droppable after a 2 goal 1 assist performance.

          4. Dacra
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I just did this transfer.

            Instant regret.

            He kept faith in his players. Something I struggle with. He really fancied Eriksen in the beginning and stuck with him.

            You have to stick with Eriksen though. That's the type of player he is.

          Thinking about Valencia --> Walker already. Time to get used to not being able to tinker after using my wildcard last week.

          thoughts? a hit worth it to do redmond + gray >> antonio + benteke (-4)?

          foster
          valencia stones souare --- friend pieters
          hazard ozil redmond firmino -- capoue
          ibra kaku gray

          Other options
          A: gray >> benteke...no hit
          B: redmond >> antonio...even tho redmond has a good fix
          C: pieters (price drop tonight) + gray >> baines + benteke (-4),

          2 games left this GW and European football along with a weeks worth of training in between now and the next deadline. Don't jerk and make a transfer you'll regret!

          1. Syd.
            • 16 Years

            Plenty of jerking around these parts

          Urgh so I dump Firmino stupidly on my WC and he goes and scores 2. Need him back.
