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

      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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Lol surely you aren't serious

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

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

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

      Shocking for Barca that

      Not their 1st team of course

    3. Rainer

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

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

        Pretty sure that's Denis not Luis.

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Suarez and Neymar

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

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

      Stick to watching the Prem lad.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 13 Years

        Thanks for your unbiased opinion. 😉

      where is Messi?

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

        Benched because of internationals. (and CL presumably)

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

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

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

      If you say so.

    2. PvA
      • 10 Years

  4. PvA
    • 10 Years

    Any guesses of what the average will be?

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

      27

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

        Big high looking at the points on here no?

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

      Currently 29

  5. Lyonnais
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

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

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Not as bad as me 6 points after hits

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

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

  6. Kante Be Bothered
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

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

      That username

      1. Ser Davos

        Hold on in there

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Haha thanks mate! If Hazard delivers all will be good

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

    Firmino pony-tail ridiculous though.

    Get rid

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

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

  9. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Close your account and never return to this game again.

      That should do it.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      No.

  10. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

      they lost

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

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

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          It is but you get - BAPs for goals conceded

    3. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

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

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          It is but you get - BAPS for goals conceded

      2. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

      Yes Payey is up there

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

      He played the Costa chip.

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

      Rightly so!

    7. Mr. Meeseeks
      • 10 Years

      Where do you see the expected bonus?

  11. Sergeant Garcia
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Did you do any research on Zaza?

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

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Too early

  15. Bobadoba
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Redmond to Antonio (no hit)?

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

      Jerk of the knee

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

      No

    4. Mr. Meeseeks
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days 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
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

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

  17. Yome

    Benteke captain next week against Given

  18. BlzE_94
    • 12 Years

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

  19. Shakshuka
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

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

    2. twoplustwo

  22. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

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

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

      No, just rubbish.

  23. Jay_
    10 years, 10 days 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
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Zaza dropped for next game or did he offer enough?

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Chin up fella.

    3. KingNidge

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

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

      The rest is understandable.

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

        capping sanchez wasnt

    6. Sergeant Garcia
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

  24. thep025
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Yeah why not.

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

      You could just play Capoue each week.

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

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

      1. Jasoooooooo
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days 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
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Do we keep Lamela or not?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      We?

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

      I'm thinking of selling for Antonio.

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

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

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

        Lamela plays but Antonio appears to be better value.

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'm keeping they play Sunderland next

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

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

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        lol

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

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

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

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

        So who is actually essential?

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

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

  28. Pap Le Cissier
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

  29. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Stayed Away from Zaza
    And instead Went With Antonio 352

    Thanks to those who suggested this!

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

    Antonio is a pain in the arse.
