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.

    17 points.. Slick!

    Got to stay strong though, should save a transfer with Townsend or Redmond at home next week instead of getting Antonio/Payet/Mane in. Patience is a virtue they say..

    7.1 in the bank burning a hole in my pocket, but I think the two frees will be beneficial in a weeks time.

    So to all those struggling like myself, and yes money is a factor, but with European fixtures starting now, may be better to stand firm for now.

      25 from 7. Really need Costa(c) and Lukaku to deliver to justify the WC

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A fellow Costa (c).

        Hoping for a Costa hattie all assisted by hazard.

        1. BB-8
          • 9 Years

          I'd happily take a brace. A hattrick would be heavenly 🙂

      Still gutted about United not showing up for the 1st half today. City played really well and could've won more. Silva and KdB were class. Anything fantasy wise to learn from this match? Personally, I am still unsure about the City defense.

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

        I would be gutted if we deserved more and just didn't get it but lets face it that wasn't the case City were brilliant..

        Right to be unsure.. after Bravo's shocker today he is gunna be a target for teams to exploit.. he could struggle as he isn't the biggest

    8. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Townsend's time is fine, right ? Despite his upcoming fixtures. Antonio in, surely now ?

        *time is done

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

      Thinking about ditching De Gea. Foster the way to go mid-long term or should I opt for someone like Stekelenburg/Adrian?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'll be needing a GK soon (Jaku-Pickford), and I was looking at Mandanda.

      2. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Short-mid term: Stekelenburg.
        Mid-long term: Foster.

        1. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yes, thinking in line with that. Foster has Spurs, Liverpool, City, Leicester from gw 8-11 so not really that interested in having him over that period unless I get a proper back up

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

      Do we still expect Collins to keep his place after his mistake today?

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No chance. Oggy in

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years

          That seriously sucks 😕

      2. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        James nailed Collins has become James not so nailed Collins

      3. Heskey Time
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I still think he has a chance. The Deeney goal was more Adrian's fault then it was Collin's

      Foster Jakupović

      Hazard Sánchez Antonio Townsend Højbjerg

      I don't think any move here would be worth -4. Who do you think should be my priority transfer?

      a) Townsend > Zaha/Snodgrass

      b) Højbjerg > Capoue

      c) Targett > Holebas

      d) Other

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        Yes imo

      3. MrInbetween
        • 10 Years

        Like Tottenham, still no clear front-running midfield contender for the team. Hold off for now.

      4. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, and Firmino shouldn't rise more than 0.1 this week because he's starting so far in the red.

    15. villian-ty
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Which option to pick?
      A. Lamela -> Firmino
      B. Lamela -> Antonio
      C. Gray -> Benteke

      Foster (Jaku)
      Stones Souare Shaw (Amat Friend)

      Ibra Costa (Gray)

      Shall I WC tonight or for GW6. Ive got players like Townsend, Phillips, Negredo, Redmond who I can't be bothered with anymore. But should I wait it out till GW6? I already have a possible team I could make

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        This is not a bad week to WC as there will be a few price rises

      3. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Debating the same. My mids and forwards have some great fixtures next week, but tempted to just get the team I want now and make some money as well.

        Cazorla

      2. Qaiss

        Cazorla is probably the cheapest you'll get who is likely to start every week.

      Holy moly! I've went up by one million positions. I was 1.3M now i'm 309K. I'm going to lose some places with Chelsea tomorrow but hopefully i'll gain them back with Everton. Great stuff.

        Evans (WBA defence are solid under pulis)

        or

        Holebas (playing out of position and attacking a lot more)

        so Evans if you prefer CS & Holebas if you prefer attacking return.

        I have both

      Lads, I have one question for you.
      Would you take a hit for Aguero > Lukaku and Ramirez > Antonio?
      Don't mind first -4 this season and I expect nice price rises for both of them. I know Lukaku hasn't played yet and could get injured but I'm gonna do it today or not at all. If everything goes wrong I'll just use my wildcard. Would appreciate any feedback.

        A bit late for Agüero to Lukaku. A lot of folks here including me will bring Agüero in next week.

        But yes for Ramirez to Antonio.

          I know. I waited until last minute and missed the deadline. I can't get Antonio without selling Aguero or someone else. Thanks for reply!

        I would do it , not the worst thing to happen if you have to lose your wild card this GW. But keep money itb for Aguero back (or lose Ibra)

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

          Thank you! I'd bring back Aguero with wilcard of course.

      3. MTPockets
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Guess that's really Capoue (MUN)/Ramirez (eve) vs. Lukaku (MID)/Antonio (wba). Then Aguero back in.
          I wouldn't bother with Aguero now, but maybe if the only way to fund anything and ready for risk of another -4 if something else comes up between now and then.

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

            I'd sell Vardy for Aguero and probably change a few other players who simply must go. Thank you!

        According to FFFix:

        FPL Average 31
        Top 1000 Average 25

        Will this week be a victory for the casuals?
