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.

    Weird how utd and Chelsea have started playing young and moses. Wasn't the solution to last seasons problems I expected.

      Me too, disappointed Cuadrado couldn't be convinced to stay. Was awful in the PL to be fair but maybe could have worked at WB.

  2. Kaneyonero

    This game needs a 30 yard screamer

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Can I pick who scores it?

      No Xhaka here

      1. how now brown cow
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Xhaka Can. Presumably someone has that team name already.

    Can't wait for Barnsley v Newcastle tomorrow to see some real footy

  4. Man Chest Hair United

    Has Rashford been involved much? Not sure if I should hold onto him for the burnley fixture

    1. PaoloRabbiiiii
      10 years, 21 days ago

      few busts of pace is all.

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Cheers mate

  5. Kaneyonero

    Cmoooooooon Fiiiiiiirmiiiiinooooo

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Ha! You'll get blocked.

  6. Too Mane Men
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Ibra has the best attacking stats in the league and Kun would have had two goals this week had it not been for the best keeping performance of the season so far (perhaps possibly Foster on the same day).

    I'll be keeping both and anyone who insists I do otherwise can do one.

    1. El Magico5
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Bobby to score the winner is nailed

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Costa has the best attacking stats in the league.

      1. Too Mane Men
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Costa can do one. He's a lumpy faced, drug baron looking curmudgeon. I'll never take satisfaction in gaining points from a player who thinks getting others sent off is good tactics.

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 21 days ago

          To be fair, getting someone sent off is quite a good tactic.

      2. Too Mane Men
        10 years, 21 days ago

        However, you're not wrong. Costa has better stats.

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

        Austin almost as good in much less minutes

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Stats aren't everything, Tadic records great stats every week but his returns are inconsistent

      1. Too Mane Men
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Across the whole season, Tadic's returns are consistent enough. He's just not a player to consider short term.

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Sell both IMO

  7. Syd.
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse

      He looks like a white Gladstone Small there

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Got a WC one month ago. Would be nice to get one again today.

  9. Boydinho
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Harambe is more lively than this game... ZzZZzz

  10. TOLV TUMS
    10 years, 21 days ago

    What's the chance that this finishes without a goal?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 21 days ago

      11/5

    2. Kaneyonero
      10 years, 21 days ago

      101%

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No chance
      Rash and Firm are going to go mental this 2nd half

    4. how now brown cow
      10 years, 21 days ago

      I have Valencia and I don't get clean sheets.

      1. TOLV TUMS
        10 years, 21 days ago

        this 😐

  11. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 21 days ago

    I'd take a 0-0 in all honesty. Would solidify a good start.
    🙁

    Chocolate orange and whisky ready to celebrate Mane hatty..

    1. TOLV TUMS
      10 years, 21 days ago

      You have an orange made out of chocolate? That's festive!

      1. Cojiro
        10 years, 21 days ago

        You haven't lived if you haven't heard of and tried a Terry's chocolate orange

  13. Revival

    In fairness would have took a 3 pointer for Coutinho on Saturday evening, looked a monster score in my team this week till Holebas got his goal

  14. wikidwhite
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Guys, bit of advice on the following please?

    Foster - Jaku

    Valencia - Pieters - Williams - Kosc - Amat

    Sanchez - Sterling - Snodgrass - Capoue - Coutinho

    Lukaku - Aguero - Deeney

    0.7 itb.

    Thinking of doing Capoue -> Allen, Deeney -> Costa & Sanchez -> Walcott leaving me with 0.9 itb. Could also do the same but with Snodgrass -> Allen leaving me with 1.7itb for upgrades elsewhere. 1 free transfer.

    Thoughts please????

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

      Try again in 50 mins

    2. PaoloRabbiiiii
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Wouldn't get rid if Sanchez with those fixtures

  15. FPL Maldini
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Please come on Shaw.

    Can't let my rival get 15 points

  16. Jay_
    10 years, 21 days ago

    If Young wasn't there the Firmino to Clyne dream was real

  17. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 21 days ago

    I bet it'll be matip from a corner to score the only unlikely goal of the match

  18. PaoloRabbiiiii
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Pogba doesn't sprint much. Needs to up his game massively

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Dab fatigue.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Oh dear karius

  20. sminkypinky
    10 years, 21 days ago

    😆 He couldn't even finish that...

  21. Bubz
    10 years, 21 days ago

    This goalkeeper is appalling

  22. fedolefan
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Was Karius signed as a replacement/backup for Mignolet or did he come through the Academy. He's worse than Mignolet.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 21 days ago

      They just cloned Mignolet and gave him a different haircut.

  23. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 21 days ago

    What just happened

  24. Belsunz
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Karius is worse than Mig

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Way worse

  25. Syd.
    10 years, 21 days ago

    This game needs a beach ball

    1. TOLV TUMS
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Hahahaha

    2. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Or Sturridge on a beach

  26. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Come on Bobby F.

    Break this CS. Please.

  27. Pochecinno
    10 years, 21 days ago

    What's with PL managers replacing rubbish keepers with even worse ones.
    Hart ➡ Bravo
    Mignolet ➡ Karius

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 21 days ago

      After one game Karius is worse than Mignolet?

    2. Jay_
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Bravo for playing from the back distribution
      Dunno about Karius

  28. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Who had BAPS?

  29. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Get lallana on

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 21 days ago

      he's warming up now

  30. Belsunz
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Fellaini is playing quite well. Credit where credit's due...

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Probably has been Uniteds best player this season

    2. Pochecinno
      10 years, 21 days ago

      He does a decent job cleaning up in the middle of the park.
