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.

    If anything this season is all about patience than ever before. Find players you can trust and hold. That's the only way I can see this season going okay.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No point having patience with weeks and weeks of 2s just to get 1 week of a decent score.

    Barcelona XI vs. Alaves: Cillessen; Vidal, Mascherano, Mathieu, Digne; Busquets, Rakitic, Suarez; Turan, Neymar, Alcacer.

    That looks so average...

    1. davies
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lol surely you aren't serious

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        For Barca*

        Poor keeper, average right back, Mathieu is rubbish, Denis Suarez is average, Turan has never been close to his Madrid levels, Alcacer is average.

        1. davies
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Oh well aye for Barca but I reckon that team would still compete with most teams tbf

    2. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shocking for Barca that

      Not their 1st team of course

    3. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Suarez & Neymar... average? Surely you're an Arsenal fan?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty sure that's Denis not Luis.

    4. Lawrø
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Suarez and Neymar

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Just so you know, it seems to be Denis Suárez? Luis doesn't play in midfield.

    5. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

      Stick to watching the Prem lad.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for your unbiased opinion. 😉

    6. OPTA FPL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      where is Messi?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Benched because of internationals. (and CL presumably)

  3. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Up to 20 now, Baines, Lukaku & Captain Hazaa should get me somewhere respectable!

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you say so.

    2. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yea

    3. TheSteel
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hate to break it to ya...

  4. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any guesses of what the average will be?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 1 month ago

      27

      1. PvA
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Big high looking at the points on here no?

    2. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Currently 29

  5. Lyonnais
    10 years, 1 month ago

    From 125k to 440k according to fffix. 15 points. Absolute horror GW. 🙁

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not as bad as me 6 points after hits

    2. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gw is not over, it's only 1 gw anyway

  6. Kante Be Bothered
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is there an undo button on FPL? Asking for a friend.

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, it's next to the WC reverse button.

    2. Ser Davos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That username

      1. Ser Davos
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hold on in there

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Haha thanks mate! If Hazard delivers all will be good

  7. HellasLEAF
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino pony-tail ridiculous though.

    Get rid

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

    all according to plan this - Vardy goal tonight and hattie against Burnley, the nship for Kun back 🙂

  9. Fred54
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I somehow ended up with Lallana in my team, do I just ship him out for Antonio right now?

    I know there are midweek games, but its early season and if I did need another transfer it would only be my first hit of this season and the price rise could be huge.

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Close your account and never return to this game again.

      That should do it.

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No.

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

    Antonio knocked down to 1 bap 🙁 How is that possible?

    1. The Donald
      10 years, 1 month ago

      they lost

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They went from being up 2-0 to being down 2-4

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

        I thought it was based on the players stats and not the teams result?

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          10 years, 1 month ago

          It is but you get - BAPs for goals conceded

    3. BB-8
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ridiculous imo. He scored a brace and doesn't even get 2. Deserved 3

      1. PvA
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Clearly non-bias comment about a player who lost 4-3

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          10 years, 1 month ago

          It is but you get - BAPS for goals conceded

      2. Epic Fail
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's based on non biased stats. Not your biased feelings.

    4. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes Payey is up there

    5. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He played the Costa chip.

    6. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Rightly so!

    7. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Where do you see the expected bonus?

  11. Sergeant Garcia
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Not getting Antonio, but opting for Zaza, was a dreadfull mistake.
    Investing in West Ham defence, was a mistake.
    Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Did you do any research on Zaza?

      Close your FPL account immediately and walk away like nothing ever happened.

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, loved him at Juve and Sassuolo, but Antonio was the better pick.

        1. devils advocate
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Say what now?

          He hardly played at Juve.

          Think you got the wrong player.

          Close account now and walk away. It's in your best interest, trust me.

    No need to put on a comedy film tonight, just watch the highlights of West Ham and Liverpool's defending

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Or go back through the comments to 2.01pm when people realised the beast needed a rest after flying 1st class!

  13. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho needed on here to settle the ship and keep the ball! Also to keep Capoue on even more benches 🙂

  14. The Wise Owl
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Current LMS score? I think I'm out if Hazard and Lukaku blank.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too early

  15. Bobadoba
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond to Antonio (no hit)?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jerk of the knee

    2. The Wise Owl
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Do it. In form, wants to break into the England squad first team.

    3. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No

    4. Mr. Meeseeks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hell yeah.
      Antonio is West Hams life blood. You get him as a 7M £ midfielder. I traded him in after his second goal. The guy is clearly on another level this season.

  16. willl
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Went Firmino + Baines over Williams + Mane, hoping for a pen or two.

  17. Yome
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke captain next week against Given

  18. BlzE_94
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys does anyone know why Souare didn't play today?

  19. Shakshuka
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Gray - > Benteke
    B) Redmond - > Antonio

    Head says A but heart says B.... Thoughts?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Play the game with your head. Why play using emotions?

      1. Shakshuka
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Because we're human beings with feelings, impulses etc.. Thanks though, ill stay strong 🙂

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just did A

    3. Prison Mike

  20. Weeb Kakashi
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Costa( C) Still to go!!

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Crap score but there's still hope. 😉

  21. twoplustwo

      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    Does anyone know why Souare not even on bench today for Palace. Injury?

    1. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No, just rubbish.

  23. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Just got home from West Ham
    Blew 2 goal lead
    Sold Snodgrass for Sterling -4
    Captained Sanchez
    Capoue on bench
    Journey from hell getting out of stadium to station
    Terrible day

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Zaza dropped for next game or did he offer enough?

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

      Chin up fella.

    3. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And Nidgey in H2H lol

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

      🙁

    5. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Snodgrass to Sterling was dumb this gw so serves you right.

      The rest is understandable.

      1. Emp
        10 years, 1 month ago

        capping sanchez wasnt

    6. Sergeant Garcia
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same mate, Holebas & Capoue on my bench. Zaza instead of Antonio.
      Next week better!

  24. thep025
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Got a team of-
    Foster Heaton
    Valencia Stones Morgan Friend Amat
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Redmond Capoue
    Ibra Lukaku Gray
    Time to WC? and damn banched capoue again...Time to start him from now?

  25. Jasoooooooo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Worth playing the AOA attack chip next week to get Capoue onto my field?? I can then restructure and get a cheap midfielder to take Capoue's place on the pine when I get Aguero the GW after

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah why not.

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

      You could just play Capoue each week.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dont think he'll do anything against ManU, but might do it the week after though!

      1. Jasoooooooo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Tbh, I thought that he wouldn't do it against Chelsea, Southampton (away) and West Ham (away), but he has....... And he's pissing me off racking up the points on my pine lol

  26. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do we keep Lamela or not?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      We?

    2. Nomar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking of selling for Antonio.

    3. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you like having a non playing expensive mid, then sure why not?

      1. Nomar
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lamela plays but Antonio appears to be better value.

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm keeping they play Sunderland next

  27. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    People rushing to get Antonio in, he will NOT score a header against a Tony Pulis backline of 4 CBs!

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio is pretty essential no? I'd consider capping him

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 1 month ago

        lol

      2. Rainer
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Triple even... Keep hitting away to get him in!

      3. devils advocate
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's hard to know who's essential because you say everyone's essential.

        So who is actually essential?

        1. Rainer
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Firmino! OOP, fixture proof, Klopp loves him 🙂 🙂 🙂

  28. Pap Le Cissier
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone beat this?

    gw3 Firmino/Vardy -> Bolasie/Ibra
    Gw4 Eriksen/Kun -> Ozil/Lukaku

    I know Lukaku is still to play but...

    1. Dasher0303
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I did Vardy to ibra for gw 3 as well and did Firmino to Ozil gw4

  29. Weeb Kakashi
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stayed Away from Zaza
    And instead Went With Antonio 352

    Thanks to those who suggested this!

    1. Nomar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      There's a good argument right now to have a cheap non playing striker, 4 big hitting mids plus Capoue.

  30. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio is a pain in the arse.
