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.

  11. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 26 days ago

    2. Differentiator
      10 years, 26 days ago

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 26 days ago

      He was, although Borja could take them.

  17. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 26 days ago

    I have Mane and Amat. Come on Amat!

    1. Sanchit
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Mane will give you 5 if he scores.
      Amar 4 if he keeps a clean sheet.

      Atleast cheer for more points? 😛

      1. Mull
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Amat will improve his rank more.

        1. TheBusDriver
          10 years, 26 days ago

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Someone on earlier was calling Amat a muppet but was hoping for a price hike so he could be sold.

          Amat >(gt) Maldini

  19. Granville

    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Ayew, Terry, Shaw, KDB, Lallana is this years injury list so far

    1. Differentiator
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Lallana's looked fairly minor though, to be fair?

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 26 days ago

      10 years, 26 days ago

      We need to get AZ on the scoutcast next to join us two new Lallana owners.

      Looked like a bit of a bruise though rather than anything serious so should be back next GWK 8, all being well.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 26 days ago

        I think he strained his groin.

  27. TheTinman

    I have faith in Firmino. Think it's his week

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I hope the doubters ditch him. They really really don't deserve him.

    2. Lawrø
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I think he's one of the most overrated players in the league.... he's always either losing the ball or being invisible

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 26 days ago

        genuine lol.

  28. Jafooli
    10 years, 26 days ago

    It's GW7 and looks like I'll have bought & sold Firmino twice already this season 😀

    1. TheTinman
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Huh?

  29. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Typical Burnley - Liverpool game so far.. i'd like to say but, no.

    It is a typical Burnley - Watford game.
