Game week 2 arrives at its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Bournemouth to Merseyside for the first ever league meeting between the two clubs. After a multitude of armband options failed us again, many will be looking to Reds attack to save yet another disappointing round of results for Fantasy managers.

Certainly, Liverpool carried plenty of threat in front of their own fans last season. Despite scoring only 30 times at Anfield in 2014/15, Brendan Rodgers’ men fired a total of 331 attempts – only City and Arsenal managed more efforts when it came to home encounters.

As for Bournemouth, they arrive at Anfield boasting a fine away record in their Championship winning season, claiming eight victories and suffering just five defeats on the road, with a goal difference of plus 30.

Delving into last week’s data, though, tonight’s two sides managed just one big chance and five shots on target between them in Gameweek 1, suggesting that both sides will need to improve in the final third should they have ambitions for three points.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    guys... I cant afford Sterling dropping.

    With whome to replace???

    Payet (I hate 0.1 riser, that imbalance whole thing)
    Siggy??????????????????????????????????????????

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Payet looks better imo

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        how was siggy???

        1. Red Star Toro
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          not so prolific to swansea attack

    3. Pariße

      Get Payet look at him as a cheap 8.0m mid.

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Of course you can afford a price drop that's just silly. I've been there at both Sterling's games thus far and he has looked very good and been unlucky not to rack up some points. City are on fire and their fixtures are sweet he could explode at any time and very easily undrop. If he doesn't outscore both Payet and Siggy I'll eat my hat.

      Having said that - I've just got rid of him on a wildcard.

    What first attracted you to the multi-millionaire John Henry?

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

      could be his daughter I guess

      1. Barrier Freeman
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        NBC commentator called her "his good lady".

        ....so unless something really weird is going on, it's his trophy wife.

      2. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        It's not his daughter...

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He drugged me.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Magnets would have the been the joke to play here Breadbin....

    3. RoysCallerAnne

      Oh no 🙁 too late for me, see below.

      1. Bartowski

        I just ripped off Mrs Merton from the off, you took the time to add to the material..

    Arsenal will tear us a new one next weekend 🙁

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I might have to get this Benteke after Arsenal haha

    2. zotter
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly. But then again they looked set to tear hammers a new one

      We need to start firmino and can for Lallana and ibe

  4. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    bottomed..

    Walcott, Coates, Kane -> Payet, Darmian, Gomis for -4?
    Leaves me with 2.6M for Rooney->Kun next week

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Kun will rise rooney will drop. You wont have enough

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I don't think Rooney will fall until next Saturday...

        1. chinmusic
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Aguero might rise .2

          1. Red Star Toro
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Can't see it. Double rise threshold is quite high...

    2. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i am on the same dilemma bro.

      -4 now or price rise/drop will hurt us.?

  5. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Gradel is even worse than Memphis

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      OK no

    2. Wrizard

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years

  6. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 11 Years

    Anyone getting Benteke on their wildcard?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Probably, he scored.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Oh, you.

    2. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      nah

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I actually dropped him when I played the wildcard, cost of getting Sanchez and Aguero I suppose

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping in my WC team. Kun, Gomis and Tekkers

    5. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not doing much, scored an offside goal, so no

  7. Feeling_blue
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Bournemouth's passing is really poor

    1. Wrizard
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Gradel!

  8. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I wonder what attracted multi-millionaire's John Henry's tasty wife to him?

    His snazzy glasses? His collection of Star Wars figures?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Moet.

    2. Mr. Grv

    Why was/is Ritchie being so hyped? I've watched both Bournemouth games so far and barely seen him do anything.

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      if it wasn't for the ref he'd have assist in this match.

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I bought Mings... that was a bad decision too!

    3. Gaffa914
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Championship best player, still finding his feet hes had 135 minutes!

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Another Graham Dorrans?

      2. sboj
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        yea 135 minutes in ... one mediocre game at home, as a team they burnt a few good chances, and now away at Pool, very limited sample to make a conclusion.

        regarding the 'hype' - he was very productive in Championship so some were expecting he might replicate some success in the PL and be a bargain

    If no more goals Skrtel will get 3BP imo

    1. super zlatan

      Just like old times

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Dont think so so far. Henderson doing his fair share for max and Clyne is a threat. Another goal for The Big Belgian and it's sealed (barring Henderson assist). Best thing I've got from the first 45 mins is that if required, Henderson before Milner always.

    Everyone transferring out Benteke might want to reconsider. He has scored goals against all the big 5 except Man city. He is no mug, that's why I have brought him in on wc. Feeling a little annoyed I didn't get him in for this week and stuck with Roondontshootatallpig

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Did you get Rondon?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      They're transferring him out for Aguero.

      Do you understand why they are doing this?

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes but I have Kun, Benteke and Gomis.

        PS - first comment was sufficient to make your point, have some respect.

      2. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        No reason not to have both totally different price brackets.

  15. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Seems as if pool are the away side...

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Rodgers' tactics are a bad joke

  16. peetsku
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    is 17 points for gw good?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah.

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      No

    3. super zlatan

      Yes

    4. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      This season that's a decent score.

      1. peetsku
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        lol @ haz,depay,cazorla,milner,rooney,sakho and c pelle =13points...

        1. COTTEE_AND_FRANK
          • 10 Years

          holy shmoley that's not good!

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Better than 16 points, as Accounting on Chris would say.

      1. sboj
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Or Mourinho ... '1 points is more than 0 and less than 2 ... i understand the maths'

    6. Wrizard
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      no

  17. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking a wildcard strikeforce of

    Kun. Tekkers. Gomis is on the cards.

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

      Told you ^

        I will also have payet.

          and therin lies my problem

          think I'll just go without Gomis for now

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years

        I think I would rather have tekkers then Pelle.

  18. Puyol Pants Up

    Sitting at 700k with no players playing. Predicted rank after today's Game?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Might slip down to 800-900k

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Probably around 900k, 41% own Tekkers.

  19. WinstonsFakeLeg
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    This good for WC?

    Westwood / Yaya / Silva / Sanchez / Behrami

    Pelle / Gomis / Aguero

    1. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      tekkers

  20. rdamjan

    A. Mane Giroud
    B. Sterling Pelle

      a

  21. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years

    Feel kinda bad selling Tekkers now

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Is he the first heavily owned player to score a goal?

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

      Did you forget he is a beast?

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Augero, Gomis are locked in. 3rd spot is between Pelle and Benteke and I've gone with Pelle for the time being. Once I sprinkle a few more cheapies in midfield, will likely get Benteke back in.

    4. Wrizard
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      get him back after he plays arsenal

  22. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years

    Avoid Liverpool like the plague...

    Bournemouth defending is shocking, and they can barely create a chance...

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. Even their goal was offside and they conceded one that could've stood.

  23. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    On wildcard, who's the better pick as the fourth midfielder ?

    Ayew or Payet

    1. silentslinky

      wondering the same thing here

    2. Cravex
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Have both 😉 with Sanchez Silva and yaya

  24. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    a) Gomis
    b) Pelle
    c) Lukaku

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Gomis

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    One wrongly disallowed goal, and one wrongly given goal.

    Should be 1-0 Bournemouth...

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn't work like that. Bournemouth should have been 1 up with the half time result impossible to determine

    That first half was a great example of a small club getting screwed over when visiting a big club.

          Oh because of course I wouldn't have mentioned it had it not been sour grapes. Go to your room and play with your toys.

      Should have been 0-0, none of them should have been goals.

          Soft and debatable agreed, but you can't push down with both arms. Right decision for me. Liverpools goal should have been an easy offside decision.
