Saturday’s early kick-off is a significant one.

Liverpool park up at the Liberty Stadium with their rich array of midfield talent heavily backed by Fantasy managers.

Adam Lallana is the latest flavour of the month – snapped up by 195460 new owners heading into Friday’s deadline, the former Saint will be looking to maintain flourishing early season form.

Phillipe Coutinho is just a few thousand behind his team-mate in terms of transfer traffic this week, as the Brazilian goes on defying his initial price tag to challenge the genuine heavy-hitters.

Both returned double figures in the 5-1 demolition of Hull City but, just maybe, it could be Roberto Firmino’s turn this time around.

Tipped as our weapon of choice heading into the season, we’ve since elevated Sadio Mane above him in our Watchlist rankings.

In truth, at this point, none of us can be certain on the one single member of Klopp’s midfield to target. We’re all hoping that today’s encounter will shed some light on the problem.

That’s presuming that Swansea City have read the script.

Swans’ boss Francesco Guidolin appears to be clinging to his job and that might just spur a determined display – they certainly showed enough against Chelsea and Manchester City to indicate that this will not be an easy afternoon for the visitors.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    James Collins to the rescue. Bleak.

  2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    bps adjusted

    firmino down to 33bps

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Only 1 away from Hendo

    2. Mario Balofail
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      this is a joke...this system

        How?

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Daft. He scores and assists but milner gets baps for a penalty

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He gets it for other things too.

      As we {would like to) say in new york, what the motherfu**!

    5. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Just shows how much weighting CBI has in baps
      Thought Hendo was average for most of the game but he got 32 vs bobby 33

  3. Slam

    My god, where is Collins even playing?
    What a pleasent surprise 😀

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      for boro

  4. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I am pretty sure Rangel will lose some points and Firmino will end up with at least 2 BAPS.

    1. ST United
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nope firmino only 1 lol

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Almost as funny as your rank I bet.

  5. Fishy-o
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Had firminho from the start but swapped him for coutinho at the last minute last night

  6. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which of these options is best.

    Mane & Antonio >

    A - Sanchez & Fer
    B - Walcott & Son

    1. Sanchit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Did you see the game? Why would you want to sell Mane?

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        So frustrating, Mane always looks threatening but doesn't often deliver

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Just pick one of the Liverpool midfielders and stick with them. Russian roulette trading one for the other. Will be interesting if Can comes in for Lallana (although int'l break should help). Doubt Sturridge starts
          I'm on firmino for what it's worth

      2. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        No but I read he looked dangerous. He just seems too inconsistent for a 9m player.

      3. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I meant inconsistent from a points perspective

  7. red devil 7
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    cowtinho>firmino (-4) done!

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sideways

  8. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Firminio 1 goal 1 assist 1bp

    Rangel concedes 2 gives a pen away 2bp

    Is that right? How is that a good bp system

    1. ST United
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Seems perfectly fair to me

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lol non owner?

        They may get changed

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Because it's based on overall play, not just a few things you have picked out.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hope you have the patience to continue this good work for a while - I'm about to have to attend to real life for a couple of hours.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Fighting a losing battle, I think I'm gonna give up. 😀

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            It was a valiant stand 🙂

    3. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Because the system is based upon more than those single match events - it's the complete performance that contributes to the BPS total. Tackles, interceptions, blocks, passes, crosses, etc.

  9. Sanchit
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio playing ST?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Aye

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      hope he hits a hattrick no one in my ml has him

    3. stachman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      wooooot?

  10. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Nyom first choice at WBA and only 4.3?

    Interested.

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Those fixtures though

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        It's Pulis. I'm cool with some tough fixtures for a 4th/5th defender at 4.3 from WBA

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not nailed on

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      nice spot

    4. Jasoooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Isn't Galloway normally first choice?? Not sure why Galloway isn't playing

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nyom started last week as well

      2. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Galloway is left, Nyom is right back. Galloway is out so Evans is on his side and Dawson takes Evans place. Nyom not nailed.

  11. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Doubt him again then lads, i dare you.

    Hate that Bobby has become so commercial.

    I'm terrified as an Antonio non owner.

    1. ST United
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lol at only 1 bonus pt

    2. Acquafresca

    I couldn't give a flying fook if Firmino gets a bap or not

    Double figure haul locked in Coutinho Mane blank and Lallana injured

    Happy enough

      Lovely shadowy trolling Nidgey.

      Piss off with your glass half full attitude 😛

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I was crapping myself at the thought of another blank and Coutinho haul mate.. very content

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Im pretty happy, although I own Mane as well as Firmino, wouldnt have minded him getting involved. But hey, it will probably be his turn next week

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Yep

  13. devils advocate
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Galloway not on the bench so I'm guessing he's still injured/ill?

    Second week running I've had one playing defender. 🙁

    Dropped from 9k to 90k OR so far.

  14. Pratik
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Had Firminho as captain, for the second week running, and felt great seeing the match. Then, I came online, and saw the baps 🙂 😛

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      11pts still a great score.

      1. Pratik
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Have ffs people, ever be known to not be greedy? 😛

        It just felt weird, to see get 1pt, and Milner and Rangel get more.

  16. Jafooli

    How is Firmino (goal & winning assist) just one bap ahead of a total donkey with a YC?

    1. ST United
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Cause of his haircut

    Lukaku (c) and firmino

    So far so good, ibra/rashford only worries

      what about the rest of your team?

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Foster
        Williams(2) Valencia

        Kun lukaku Defoe

        AOA

      • 15 Years

      Me too! Feels goods
      Same front 3 as well with Cazorla and Sterling as differential

  18. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    they adjusted the bPs. now he has even less. 33. Henderson has 32. In 10 minutes Firmino will probably be on 0BPS after they adjust it some more .............................

  19. KOLASINA(C)

    Antonio striker is very interesting. Crazy if he stays like that

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I agree. Could be a great pick 🙂

    Klopp confirms Lallana and Lovren have groin injuries

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lovren 🙁

      Luckily they have time to recover

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Classic pre international break injury for Lovren then?

  24. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Firmino was losing the ball and playing some poor passes early on. Guess that cost him the baps

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      rangel gave away a pen, should be -10 bps

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      More deductions to come then maybe

      1. Backup Dancer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Assume they've already been accounted for

  25. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Lovren injured as well as Lallana Klopp said.

  26. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else notice that FPL have given Rangel the assist for the Fer goal even though it was Van der Hoorn?!

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      That's why he's got so many baps

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Surely that gets fixed?

      1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE

        You'd like to think so

  30. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So after Rangel loses his assist it's 2 baps for Bobby?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Why would he lose his assist?

    2. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah
