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.

    Barkley to Antonio before the price rise tonight?

    But, with those juicy fixtures for Everton tho...

      Wow no way

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Barkley hasn't even played yet. Could get a hat trick

  2. 42towels
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Terrible start to the season continues..

    Redmond, Townsend, Ramirez, Kane main issues.

    a) Ramirez to Antonio, WC GW6
    b) Ramirez to Firmino, WC GW6
    c) WC now to save and improve TV, with a plan for Aguero.
    d) Something else?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      What's your team? I'd say B without looking but maybe C.

      1. 42towels

        Thanks for replying.

        Foster, Jaku
        Valencia, Stones, Suoare, Friend, Amat
        Hazard, Townsend, Ramirez, Redmond, Capoue
        Ibra, Kane, Lukaku

    1. AddyK
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Exactly the same as you mate, Mane (C) FTW!! only differences 4 me r baines n barkley. Feels so good to have my wildcard success in the 4 years ive played

  4. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
    • 15 Years

    How was Vardy playing. Thinking to captain him next week home to Burnley

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Im not sure Burnley at home is going to produce the type of game he's going to thrive on

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Leicester Home

  5. Dr. Rog
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    A) Firmino & Hernandez
    B) lallana & bony
    C) lallana & ighalo/deeney

  6. Demel
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Who would you ship out first?

    A) Townsend
    B) Redmond
    C) Rondon

    And for who? £1million in the bank.

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      C, for maybe Benteke

  7. BucketHead
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Redmond or lamela out for Antonio?
    What's the cool kids choice

    1. rocky7st
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Lamela looks like a rotation risk

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Redmond...total garbage

  8. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    I need WC to fic my WC.

    22 pts with 5 to go is just poor.

    1. The Hustle Is Real
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Try 16 with 3 to go

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      You can still get to 50 easily. No reason to panic

    3. MTPockets
      10 years, 10 days ago

      22 with 3

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      It's really not that bad.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Doubt it. Hazard (C), Costa, PVA, Bolasie and Williams to go

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

        Any idea how LMS is looking?
        Doing crap hence the question!

    5. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      That's a bad week not a bad team

    6. b✪mber
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      That's 6 to go (2xHaz)

    7. bojack
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      26 with three left. Inc. captain.

      Pogba I said. Red arrows they said.

  9. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Froch has fixed his nose?

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

      Must've cost millions

      Really hope Brook wins tonight
      Brave taking the two steps up
      Golovkin for me has never fought a real challenge and again is taking an easy option tonight with blown up welter

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah. I dont think he will. Later rounds are going to be tough for Brook, carrying the extra weight

      2. Long Juan Silva
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        I just wanna see Golovkin v Canelo before Golovkin passes his peak and it becomes a stale Mayweather v Paquao-like fight.

      3. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Rumour that Golovkin isn't 100%, looked a bit pastey at the weigh in.

  10. Davido989
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    BAPs are in

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Still 21 points...

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Still 26 minus 4.shocking week.

  11. Long Juan Silva
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Shame Bojan doesn't start, I really didn't ant to have to transfer him out

  12. LeicesterA
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    So, someone in my H2H league actually captained Capoue. Seriously...

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

      Were they your opponent?

    2. LeicesterA
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Thankfully not. Although I'm up against 'AVERAGE' this week, so it doesn't help!

  13. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Got a real rough with the smooth week so far.
    Wildcarded
    - sold firmino for sterling
    - sold walker for valencia
    - benched capoue
    + bought antonio
    + bought cazorla
    + ibra and benteke delivered
    + 40 pts post baps and still have 4 including captain to play

    Couldve been worse I guess, but couldve been much better.

    1. stachman
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Not bad, mate... Lesson to learn - never bench Capoue again. I know I never will...

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Except next week 😉

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      the same.....

  14. Long Juan Silva
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Nice to see Son do well. Much better player than Lamella IMO but hasn't been given half the opportunity / patience.

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Both really good. Son was fantastic in the Bundesliga. Maybe we'll see rotation in CL/PL.

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        I'm not a Lamella fan at all. I think if his manager wasn't Argentinian and he didn't cost so much (transfer + wage) then he would have been out of the team a long time ago. Don't see enough from him personally.

  15. Davido989
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Manchester Derby was absolutely brilliant. I thought City were top class for most of the first half, United did OK in the second half but lacked the cutting edge in the final third and a creative spark in midfield. City will score loads of goals this season. On the other hand, United need to start Rashford.

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      How did you do today berb?

      1. Davido989
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Really well. Wildcarded and now on 55ish with captain and a few to go. You?

        1. TheBusDriver
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          55? Wtf. Cheater. Hacker.

          1. Davido989
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            I'm sorry.

            1. TheBusDriver
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 10 days ago

              Firmino and?

              1. Davido989
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 10 days ago

                Antonio, Iheanacho and a few more.

        2. Champ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Excellent. Not so good here. 25. Still have the wc though. Fancy Liverpool with those fixtures from gw6

          1. Davido989
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            Nailing a WC will help hugely. Liverpool midfielders look to be doing well and I don't think many teams can keep them out.

          2. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 17 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            How do you pick a Liverpool mid? Sounds easy to jump on them but they are all capable of scoring, chances are you will always pick the wrong one, sods law.

        3. stachman
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Nice score! And (c) to go... Damn...

          1. Davido989
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            Haha, a bit of luck!

    2. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      How was Rooney - you reckon he should get the boot?

    3. KingNidge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Fantastic game of football and think with a couple of better selections we would have given a much better account of ourselves particularly first half where City bossed us.. alluded to it pre seaon that our counter attacking potential is seriously hindered by the lack of pace of both Rooney and Zlatan.. we can compensate for Zlatan as he brings everything else to the table .. Rooney brings nothing... it was evident today.. as for Rashford i'm not going to tip toe round this anymore.. he's our best player right now.. absolutely frightening talent

      1. Davido989
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Agreed mate. Personally thought Herrera/Schneiderlin had to start to make it a midfield 3. Rooney has no business in this United side either. Mourinho got selection and formation wrong today - Rooney, Mkhitaryan (for his first start) and Lingard.

        Rashford needs to play for you. Bought in pace and skill when he came on.

        1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Loved Bravo's keeping and the short passes

        2. KingNidge
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          He did yeah i missed his post match interview but i'm led to believe he held his hands up to making a mistake?

          He brings everything.. i well remember Michael Owen bursting on to the stage at a similar age aswell as Cristiano Ronaldo and old enough to remember Giggs making his debut for us too.. Rashford looks a more complete footballer than any of those and by a distance..

  16. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Redmond is gonna do a firmino nxt GW.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Fingers crossed. Next week is the reason he's still in my team.

      1. Davido989
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Their first game after a Europa league game hmm.

      2. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Still a nice enabler along with Capoue. But thinking he should be shifted for Snodgrass or soon

  17. mr messi
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Should I bring in Mané or Antonio?

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Wondering same. Likely Antonio then wc after.

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Mane

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Both?

    4. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Both good picks. Antonio vs Pulis though.

    5. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Mane, but neither have the ideal fixture in the next gameweek.

  18. stachman
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Anyone seen Bournemouth game? Did WIlshere bring anything on field when he came on? Don't ask why am I interested, please...-_-

  19. TorresMagic™

    Barca losing 0-1 vs Deportivo Alaves

  20. AddyK
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Captained Mane! so glad to have a great gw, only collins and zaza dissapointed, but im expecting big things from zaza. Antonio n Lanzini were v selfish today i

  21. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Granville benching Aguero and playing Capoue. Oof!

    1. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Nice

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

      Nice 47 with 2 left.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Finally his luck came in.

    4. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      As Mark would say, "Squad depth" Glad it worked it out for him.

  22. Kante Be Bothered
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Somehow finished with 24 points.... Walker getting 11 of then 24. Anybody else do as bad as me?

    1. The Hustle Is Real
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      16 dude

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      21

  23. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Anyone have a rough idea of average pts?

      1. stachman
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Wow... 31 doesn't sound so bad now... I thought it will be much higher with that goal mayhem...

      2. Squires FC
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Very helpful nice 1

  24. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Barca score 1-1

  25. The Man Pastore
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    A) Tadic --> Antonio to catch price rise

    B) Keep Tadic against SWA

  26. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    KDB was nowhere near my team but Mané is the one I earmarked to bring in. Cazorla was tempting me but went with Sánchez in the end. That's FPL for you.

  27. suddenorgan
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Literally only thing stopping me hitting the WC right now is the fixtures, Liverpool and West Ham both not great.. Negredo -> Benteke and save WC for getting Aguero back in?

    1. Bullet Eder
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      That's the smart move.

  28. Jamie_GAWA
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Can't decide between Mané or Firmino

    Which one would you choose and why?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Firmino because cheaper

    2. Xna
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      both

  29. Dr. Rog
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Looking at plans for the next couple of weeks

    Foster heaton
    Shaw williams mccauley souare amat
    Haz ozil barkley* antonio capoue
    Ibra* giroud stuani*
    3.1 bank

    Stuani has to go, thats for sure, whilst ibra will be the fall guy for aguero.
    This leaves me with exactly 1.8 for upgrades, and im looking for a better 3rd striker and a liverpool midfielder.

    In terms of strikers my shortlist based on price and fixtures is bony, ighalo, deeny and Hernandez. Which option would you go for ?
    A) lallana & bony
    B) lallana & deeney/ighalo
    C) firmino & hernandez

    1. GARYNEVILLESTASH

      I've personally been waiting for Watford to hit the ground, Stoke look like the Aston Villa of this year, I support Hull so I'm too biased...

      B

    Anyone have a rough estimate of the average this week before it's confirmed?
