Ipswich Town v Liverpool gets Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway.

Promoted Ipswich have started with a win against Sunderland and a heavy defeat against Manchester United, while Liverpool are winless after 2-2 draws against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.

Kick-off at Portman Road is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Bradley Barcola starts on the bench for Liverpool.

Ronald Araujo makes his first start for the Reds in place of Jeremie Frimpong, in Andoni Iraola’s only alteration from Gameweek 2.

You’d think one of Araujo or Jeremy Jacquet will start at right-back, then, with Dominik Szoboszlai in the midfield pivot.

Gary O’Neil makes just one change from the 5-2 defeat against Man Utd.

New arrival Exequiel Palacios comes in to replace Marcelino Nunez, who is among the substitutes.

Zian Flemming, who joined from Burnley for £20m on transfer deadline day, is also on the bench.

LINE-UPS

Ipswich Town XI: Scherpen, O’Shea, Diop, Greaves, Davis, Lukic, Palacios, Fatawu, Enciso, Maeda, Emersonn

Subs: Walton, Furlong, Kipre, Ouattara, Florentino, Nunez, McAteer, Clarke, Flemming

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Araujo, Jacquet, van Dijk, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Wirtz, Munoz, Isak

Subs: Mamardashvili, Endo, Tsimikas, Barcola, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Koumas, Ngumoha

      Szobo has them

      1. I read that he took the one vs Newcastle because of it being Isak’s former club…

    Wirtz is terrible - just doesn't seem to have the physicality for the PL - always getting muscled off the ball and going to ground... what's his actual skill?

    1. FantasyTony

      Long of of Bundesliga number 10s flopping in the PL. Liverpool were mad to blow the bank on him.

      He’s terrible.
      Selling for KDH

      He's clearly not terrible is he. He's not fitting into this team or not in the right position.

      1. He’s at the wrong club basically

      2. el polako

        He’s terrible.
        2nd season.
        2nd manager.
        Various positions.

        He’s terrible.

    4. Lost for Wirtz
      just now

      I think Wirtz could do very well at Real Madrid or Barcelona. Just no way for him to shine in the prem.

    Offside no pen

    Is the Chelsea front 3 triple up a viabke option for the next few weeks?

    1. I’ve got City attacking triple up plus TC this week and next week got Chelsea attacking triple up, all with just 2 FTs over the 2 weeks.

      What can possibly go wrong?!

      1. GoonerSteve

        Very nice!

      It is until it isn't. Cherki (or MGW) to Rogers still very much in plans.

        Same

  21. We need this cleanie wiping, mr Leif Davis you can duly oblige.

    Thank you

    FFS... That pass was only 0.2 seconds late or something like that. Szobo still "essential". Classic fpl luck is back though.

    1. Not at RB, 7m for a defender with clean sheets points, just direct free kicks and pens

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        On corners, making runs to the box.

        1. Too deep most matches, would rather KDH - heard he may be on pens too

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        He is still worth the money, not essential naturally.

    Wirtz is hot garbage.

    1. Garbage?

      Americano?

        Garbage is a Middle English word referring to the waste products of butchered animals. Follow me for more history lessons on the origins of English words.

      Pool's been a clock management mood this half, not much for them to defend.

    Who then is the play for Liverpool on WC?

    1. Don’t like any of their assets really, maybe Van Dijk if he was 6
