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.

      Worst 'look at me I'm top 100k' post EVER!

          Only teasing 😉

    Could kick myself, I was so close to playing Capoue over Long but didn't, at least my last minute captain change from Sanchez to Mane worked....

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Every cloud

  3. Keno
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    34 with Hazard(C), Lukaku, Costa, and Baines to play! Snodgrass and Capoue saving my GW!

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Sounds a very good GW, well played

  4. The Iron Tulip
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    What to do with this team ahead of next week? Need an Aguero plan and Sanchez does make that hard. Do I WC? 1FT and 0.2 ITB.

    Schmeichel - Jak

    Baines - McAuley - Shaw - Amat - Kingsley

    Hazard - Sanchez - Capoue - Redmond - Fer

    Lukaku - Vardy - Ibra

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Maybe downgrade Sanchez to get Aguero in?

  5. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    So, when's the point at which we admit we should all play Capoue and get another 4.5m bench fodder?

    1. Corrine M
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'm there already? So what's the next bench fodder after Capoue?

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Indeed. Perhaps Diomande up front and play 3-5-2? Or someone like Maloney if he gets regular starts at Hull?

      2. MrInbetween
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Fletcher? 4.5

      3. Corrine M
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Marney? Romeu?

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Never! I'm happy for him to play if I get injuries or suspensions

  6. lasmons
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    33 points from 8 players. Firmino saved my life. Haz(c) with hattrick tomorrow!

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Let's hope so

  7. 8ball
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    antonio in for redmond to beat the price rise? or get in firmino? thinking of getting in firmino after the chelsea game.

    redmond, townsend, hazard, barkley, capoue

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Antonio this week

      1. 8ball
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        thanks. one last question, should i trade redmond or townsend for antonio?

        redmond - swansea(h), west ham(a)
        townsend - stoke(h), sunderland(a)

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Redmond

    2. MrInbetween
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Dump Townsend.

      1. 8ball
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        yea, leaning towards that. how did he look today?

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Firmino later

      1. 8ball
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        thanks. get rid of redmond or townsend for antonio?

  8. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Bottom of the page 😐

    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.

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

      All that effort for 0.1?

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

        Guess it may be 0.4 if they are all changing. Would rather wait still.

      2. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        You have a point. Maybe I'm just disappointed because I missed Antonio's points as I expected him to do well.

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I wouldn't do it yet

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers Jac.

    3. MrInbetween
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Bit of a gamble on Lukaku.

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Of course it is. I'll think about it. Thanks anyway!

  9. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    10 years, 10 days ago

    What to do with Lamela? Great fixtures coming up...but is he nailed?

    Lamela to Antonio FT good move or sideways? Keep Lamela or not ?Thanks!

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Antonio in sounds good

  10. Oven Glover
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    OR 717,886 to 29,456. Big leap. GW rank 113 with Baines, Lukaku, Hazard and Amat to play. Minus 20 payed off!

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Well played, superb!

      1. Oven Glover
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers! Got it right for once.

    2. Vedas

      Wow nice.

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Nice. But why play the BB with that bench?

      1. Oven Glover
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        To compensate for the -20

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Paid off

    4. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Amazing

  11. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Lol Barca just lost to a promoted side

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Iniesta, Suarez and Messi were on the bench(Neymar was really tired too). If they don't have uber players in the starting 11 they can't even defeat awful teams in La Liga.

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

    Barca lose 1-2 to Alaves 🙂

    1. Zasa
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Brilliant result, Sevilla in second now 🙂

  13. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Why was Sterling substituted so Early ?

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Tactical

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I can see a lot of rotation for him, I need rid soon.

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        and i was thinking to get him

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          I wouldn't bother

        1. Oven Glover
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Crazy to take a minus 20 but it was worth it in the end. Won't do it again though!

    2. harrydavies14
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      -20 jesus thats crazy.

    3. MrInbetween
      • 10 Years

      Too early for an estimated cut-off score?

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

    A) Tadic --> Antonio to catch price rise

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 12 Years

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

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      By not overreacting after 4 weeks . You are not doing a great job so far .

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

        Indeed I am not lol

        Considering this for gw6, these plans involve Aguero

        Cech,4.5,Firmino -4
        OR
        Heaton,Williams,Mané -8

        Which one would you choose?

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          I wouldn't choose Cech .

  17. JAC THE CAT
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Keep Sterling for Bournenouth or sell?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'll just keep then?

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    32 from 8 with WC played. Relieved to see that is pretty standard here. Gutted about Firminio to Sanchez and Capoue on bench.

  19. Corrine M
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Fer worth getting in as fodder?

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

      Do you normally play fodder?

      1. Corrine M
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Well, I'm playing Capoue so need another... Playable ideally

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

          Give it a day and see how he does. Fixtures aren't great.

        2. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Snodgrass possible?

  20. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    If I'd benched Kun and sat on my hands I would have scored 14 off Eriksen & Fletcher... Work to do for Haz & Costa Sunday afternoon!

  21. jai1212
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Messed up GW with 16 points. Hazard, Williams and Lukaku (C) left to play. I need some help with the team, should I WC it?

    Foster-Heaton
    Valencia-Stones-Williams-Evans-Friend
    Hazard-Sanchez-Lamela-Townsend-Capoue
    Ibra-Lukaku-Gray

    I've got 1FT and 0.4 itb

    Suggestions people? Time to WC or some hits can save my team

  22. Johnny Drama
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    From 100k to 2 mil in one gw.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I knew you would come crawling back 🙂 . It's a long season yet . Plenty of us were outside of the top 2m after 5 weeks last year .

      1. Johnny Drama
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Haha, can't leave this site. Love it! But yeah, still so sad about what happened

          I was 2 mil this time last year. Finished 12k.

  23. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    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).

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Double move sounds good

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        yeah leading towards it..

  24. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Four guys in my main ML played Capoue 🙁

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      That's harsh

  25. Clump
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Wc went well. Manè (c) went well.
    61 with 4 to play. I've had worse weeks 🙂

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

      Well in mate you deserve it!

    2. Oven Glover

    3. JAC THE CAT

      Very brave, brilliantly played

    4. Clump

      Cheers fellas!

  26. Valar(Keith)
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Reckon it's Jakupovic's place to lose? or is Pickford a better option? or are both just gonna be deadweight soon?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Dependent on performance, but I think Jaku is a bit rubbish, and Pickford is very good.

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Pickford the better choice

  27. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Amat or kingsley

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

      Amat is more nailed on.

      1. noMoreInternationalBreaks
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers demel

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Amat

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Ask after tomorrow

    4. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Amat

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

    Who else is thinking of wildcarding now? Currently on 16 from 8, have Haz (C), Terry and Lukaku still to play. Ive fell from 12K to 106K. Im not happy with quite a few players on my team...

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

      Similar boat but it might just be a bad week. Would be best waiting until Kun is back.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Ive got an Aguero plan in place and a team I'm liking the look of

    3. jai1212
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Same points and even I'm considering WC
      It's just that trusting any player right now seems scary.

  29. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Also jaku or pickford
