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.

    Ozil to firmino, lamela to Antonio -4?

      I got Antonio in this week for a hit. Can thoroughly recommend it. It was for Tadic though!

    Hey, remember when everyone hated Firmino and got Sterling in instead?

    Those were the days, lol. 😉

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

      Firmino was essential, fixture proof and a false nine god at the start of the season 😉

      1. devils advocate
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Why didn't you tell me this 2 weeks ago?

        You greedy so and so. 😉

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

          Don't think it was mentioned before GW1 much...

  4. TheSteel
    • 14 Years

    People actually captained Firmino? Well done!

    The panic here is the best part after a few 3pm kick-offs go the wrong way for people!

    Should we start...playing...Capoue?!

    Must have missed out on about 30 odd points benching him so far, and after next week his fixtures pick up.

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

      I will do that. So much money over. I played him today for the first time. So happy.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      He won't score in the good fixtures though, guaranteed

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

        This is my worry, but there we go.

  7. Goaldigger
    • 14 Years

    Anyone happen to know why Souaré didn't play?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      dropped i think after his fault last week leaded to King goal

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

        Ok. Harsch.

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

      dont know. glad i got rid of him on wc though

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

        Good move. I just got him in with mine 🙂

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years

      Dropped for Kelly, muck!

  8. Fred54

    Was a bit bored and noticed FPL stats has an 'Owned' tab, so I checked it out. Of course the usual suspects are there, some on this season's form, some from last but shockingly, not that far down the list with 20.5% ownership is Kante. WTF?

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

      Casuals... Look at Dier too, madness!

    2. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      its the fpl casuals

    3. TorresMagic™

      Lots of dead teams.

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

      casuals buy players who are good at football rather than good at FPL

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Yeah but Kante was never a great FPL option last season, great player, but not a great fantasy option. Mind blowing.

    6. PvA
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Where is the "owned" tab?

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

        You you mean the column in the table?

        That's not called a tab

  9. HurriKane
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Damnn Needed firmino to be quiet. was in my plan to get kun back for around exact cash

    alexis lukaku --> kun firmino.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Strange plan considering Lukaku's fixtures

  10. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Firmino is gold, never forget

  11. The Donald
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    bottomed, Lanzini -> Antonio on a FT or a lateral move?

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Need a Defoe no show......anyone know where he lives?

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

      Yup me too. Say hi from me.

  13. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Poor old Milner, not a single mention for the assist.

    1. The Donald
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      reverse OOP

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years

      All set pieces too, alas Cazorla but at LB.

    Firminio rescues my abysmal day. 11 from 7 before that

  15. @SirAustinDangerPowers
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    This is what I have got
    Foster Jaku
    Stones Valencia Williams Friend BSmith
    Hazard Ozil Coutinho Lamela LCook
    Zlatan Lukaku Benteke

    1Ft

    One of Lamela or Coutinho out for Antonio?
    Holding on to the WC and will use it b4 GW6 so no need to save Ft. And Antonio will probably rise .2 by then.

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

    What if I told you I captained James Milner?

  17. Jafooli

    Midfield has become a total nightmare, must be 20+ decent options atm.....

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

      Severely tempted to go with 4 big hitters in midfiled + Capoue ( 😎 ) , even if means downgrading Ibra

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Capoue is a big hitter now

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

      my dream mid would be

      Hazard Firmino AntonioCazorla Snodgrass Capoue

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

        *at the moment. it may change in a couple of weeks though

  18. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    A. Lamela (SUN, mid)
    B. Redmond (SWA, whu)

    I can't decide who to drop for Antonio. He's meant to rise tonight, so I'd like to get him in today. Opinions?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Redmond seems nailed so would keep him

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers

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

        So is Lamela

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          I know he was rested because of the long haul flight. But surely Poch has to play Son now, doesnt he?

        2. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Noticed that today....

          With Son back (and in form), Sissoko there now, I would not be so sure of that.

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

      Lamela - fear he will be subject to rotation. Think I'm knee-jerking myself tonight

  19. Rhodes your boat
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Cmon guys admit it who benched Capoue and/or failed to jump on the Antonio bandwagon??

    Also can't believe we've all been looking past de bruyne despite his performances last season

    1. The Donald
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      o/

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      cost of KDB is difficult, but he looked amazing today

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

        Will still be worth getting, though not as effective when Kun is back.

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Sold Wilson and Capoue for Antonio and Grabban.

  20. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Ohhhh my points jumped from 14 to 20. Get in!

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'm stuck on 13

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

    Mane looking lively?

  22. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Bah.

    Sanchez or Ozil in my head for two weeks and Caz does the business.

    For less.

    Good lord!

  23. Mikeharbrw
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Tempted to wc now with kane (avec dembele) as a aguero place holder

  24. willl
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    If Milner gets classified as a defender next season, and Liverpool buy a proper left back, he will be absolute gold.

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

      Go again

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      On the bench?

  25. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Firmino -93.4...so close to a fall...now he will rise... 🙁

  26. TheSteel
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    That goal cost my rank overall rank 3,000 lol. Down to 16k

  27. rohan

    Firmino (C)

    Something going right today, FPL wise

    1. Moin

      Right now, make it for a hit even!

  29. Dr. Rog

    10 years, 10 days ago

    Foster / Heaton
    Shaw Williams McCauley Souare Amat
    Hazard Ozil Barkley Antonio Capoue
    Ibra Giroud Stuani
    3.1 banked, 1 FT.

    Problem areas of the team:
    Stuani: I have the money to upgrade. I plan to do Ibra to Aguero for wk6 im likely to need 1.2 to do that, so if i can spend 7.1 on a replacement that means no hits in wk6.
    Souare: Didnt play, but is a bench choice anyway.
    Rest of the team: Solid.

    Benteke/Negrado/Wilson/Gray dont have good enough fixtures for my liking. Hence Stuani's possible replacement targets based upon price and fixtures:
    A) Bony 7.3 wk5-14
    B) Deeney 6.9 wk6-14
    C) Ighalo 7.3 wk6-14
    D) Hernandez 6.0 wk8-15

    Which option to pick?

  30. BB-8
