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.

    Horrible GW

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

    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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Every cloud

  3. Keno
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds a very good GW, well played

  4. The Iron Tulip
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe downgrade Sanchez to get Aguero in?

  5. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        Fletcher? 4.5

      3. Corrine M
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Marney? Romeu?

    2. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  6. lasmons
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Let's hope so

  7. 8ball
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio this week

      1. 8ball
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Redmond

    2. MrInbetween
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dump Townsend.

      1. 8ball
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino later

      1. 8ball
        10 years, 1 month ago

        thanks. get rid of redmond or townsend for antonio?

  8. Arteta
    10 years, 1 month 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

      10 years, 1 month ago

      All that effort for 0.1?

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

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

      2. Arteta
        10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't do it yet

      1. Arteta
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Jac.

    3. MrInbetween
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of a gamble on Lukaku.

      1. Arteta
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  9. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio in sounds good

  10. Oven Glover
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well played, superb!

      1. Oven Glover
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers! Got it right for once.

    2. Vedas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wow nice.

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. But why play the BB with that bench?

      1. Oven Glover
        10 years, 1 month ago

        To compensate for the -20

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Paid off

      Amazing

  11. The Chosen One...
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lol Barca just lost to a promoted side

    1. Frank Black
      10 years, 1 month 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

    Barca lose 1-2 to Alaves 🙂

    1. Zasa
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Brilliant result, Sevilla in second now 🙂

  13. Costa in Wengerland

    Why was Sterling substituted so Early ?

    1. The Iron Tulip

      Tactical

    2. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        10 years, 1 month ago

        and i was thinking to get him

        1. JAC THE CAT
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't bother

  14. harrydavies14

        1. Oven Glover
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. harrydavies14
      10 years, 1 month ago

      -20 jesus thats crazy.

    3. MrInbetween
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too early for an estimated cut-off score?

        Running the LMS computer now.

  15. The Man Pastore
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Tadic --> Antonio to catch price rise
    B) Keep Tadic against SWA

    1. The Iron Tulip
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

  16. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Jamie_GAWA
        10 years, 1 month 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…
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't choose Cech .

  17. JAC THE CAT
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Keep Sterling for Bournenouth or sell?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'll just keep then?

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

    2. Arteta

  18. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…

    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
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fer worth getting in as fodder?

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

      Do you normally play fodder?

      1. Corrine M
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

        2. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Snodgrass possible?

  20. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month 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
    10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

    From 100k to 2 mil in one gw.

    🙂

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

        1. Clump
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

            Thx for hope

  23. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Double move sounds good

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

        yeah leading towards it..

  24. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Four guys in my main ML played Capoue 🙁

    1. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's harsh

  25. Clump
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Davido989
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well in mate you deserve it!

    2. Oven Glover
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Congrats!

    3. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Very brave, brilliantly played

    4. Clump
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers fellas!

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

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

    2. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pickford the better choice

  27. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Amat or kingsley

    1. Demel
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amat is more nailed on.

      1. noMoreInternationalBreaks
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers demel

    2. Qaiss
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amat

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ask after tomorrow

    4. JAC THE CAT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amat

  28. Qaiss
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Qaiss
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. jai1212
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  29. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Also jaku or pickford
