Gameweek 8 comes to its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Man United to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s in-form outfit seek a fifth successive win in the top-flight and could even climb to the summit if they register a victory by a margin of four or more goals.

That’s perhaps unlikely yet, having netted nine times in two matches in front of their own supporters, the Reds will be in buoyant mood tonight.

The likes of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane will be keenly monitored by Fantasy managers as the Merseysiders prepare for a superb upcoming run of fixtures.

For United, the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the main point of concern around these parts.

The big Swede has a single goal in five appearances and has already earned more transfers out than any other forward in the Gameweek.

Another blank and the exodus will surely pick up pace, given that Jose Mourinho then takes his side to former club Chelsea next Sunday – the Blues have chalked up back-to-back shut-outs since the switch to 3-4-3.

    This fixture has thrown up some stinkers over the years. Cancel each other out

      Having Maureen involved doesn't help

  9. Krul Runnings

    Herera MOTM?

    Ummmmm, no!

  10. Chucky

    Yeah Ibra YC 🙂 That might save me in LMS 🙂

  11. Costa Nostra

    Surely only casuals still own Ibra?

      1. Costa Nostra

        So dead teams and casuals having a good luck run?

    2. Forza

      Surely you've never seen the stats tables?

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Surely the only stays that count in fantasy are goals and assists

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 21 days ago

          Goals and assists can be predicted via other stats. The Holebas goal this week, for example, was far from a surprise.

    3. Greenbackbøøg…

      I'm offended sir

    Valencia and Holebas saving my GW. Benteke and Agüero ruining it.

    Who else did Valencia > Koscielny this GW?

    1. Az

      I very nearly did Valencia to Mustafi for a -4...

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 21 days ago

        I did this and I feel sick

  15. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Anyone kept Valencia + Clyne? well done for those

  16. Kiwivillan

    Hanging on for Karius CS

  17. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Man United possession tonight (34%) is the lowest they have ever had in a Premier League game.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 21 days ago

      Its an away game against a very good Liverpool team

    2. Bazzalona
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Only one stat counts.
      The score.

    3. King Sheep
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I thought they were terrible and played with fear, it's bad when a football powerhouse refuses to play it's flair players like Mata and Lingaard, imagine Barcelona leaving out Neymar and Suarez in El Classico and just going with Messi up front?

      1. Total Foot 5
        10 years, 21 days ago

        KING WELL PUT

    Shaw on, it gets better 😀

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Lol. Many Holebas benchers will be self-immolating

  20. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 21 days ago

    If Benteke hadn't missed that penalty Zlatan and D.Fletcher to Benteke and Walcott would be up there as my best transfers ever...

    still, 6 points up on the deal and glad to be rid of the Swede!

  21. Our Man Charlie
    10 years, 21 days ago

    wow front 3 scores this gw -1 1 -2 🙁

    1. Lumberjack
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Makes my -1 -1 2 look good!!

      1. Our Man Charlie

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 21 days ago

    I would say that getting rid of Ibra was a good move but I brought in Benteke for him....

  23. Z
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Heaton - Pickford
    Valencia - Baines - McAuley - Smith - Amat
    Firmino - Payet - Son - Walcott - Snodgrass
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    0.4 ITB
    Would like to rejig my defence but not sure if it's worth it?
    McAuley to Holebas or Pieters or save?

  24. FrankieTheGent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 21 days ago

    If Valencia gets 3bps I'll take that as a sign to take a minus 4 hit

  25. Bubz
    10 years, 21 days ago
