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

    Liverpool win with a clear offside goal. Weak refereeing once again.

    1. Numb

      And Bournemouth should have been allowed

      Robbed.

      This referee joke gives my competitors another 20 points, they all had Benteke (c) and a Pool defender.

      Can't believe this anymore

    Not entirely convinced by Gomez....reckon he is not nailed and Moreno cwill be back reasonably soon......

      Yes

      Gomez was always a couple of week punt for me to make some $ off the casuals... Job done...

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    This Liverpool's performance was... disgusting.

    1. La Roja

      Harsh

      Can't see Arsenal beating you. Far too strong defensively, you should get a 0-1 there.

  6. Mílanista

    Liverpool fans must be ecstatic. Just 34 points left to go.

      It also doesn't say much.

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, Leicester better than Liverpool.

  8. Stannage
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Will Benteke win any bonus points?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      All 3 it seems like.

      1. Stannage

        Excellente.......some points at last....

  9. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    As it stands:

    Benteke 3 (33)
    Lovren 2 (31)
    Skrtel 1 (30)
    Clyne 0 (29)

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon Benteke will go down to 0 and the others will go up one

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        The Benteke miss could end up costing 14 points!

    2. Fanta sea
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It's a crime to give Lovren any bonus points for that game. It should be Benteke, Clyne, Skrtel

    3. PainInDiaz
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Lovren. This BP system needs to be binned. Breadbinned.

    4. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Need Benteke to lose 2 baps to win a H2H.

    5. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Is that including winning goal points?

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        No. Just as it is currently.

    Unlucky Bournemouth. But got to feel for the officials too.

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah. Must be tough to be so bad at their job.

  12. Wrizard
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I think that the only reason Liverpool have owon this game is because Liverpool's players are more talented but aren't necessarily the better team

    1. Gaffa914
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      What are you chatting

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

      wow

    3. Breadbin

      Best players in the league, need time to gel.

    4. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years

      so you didnt watch the game. got it.

    5. Wrizard
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure you guys got what I'm saying. I think Bournemouth are better than the sum of their parts while Liverpool's team is isn't as good as the sum of parts would suggest. But because Liverpool has players with that can provide a little bit of quality in the final third they won.

  13. Pinturicchio
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Benteke saving my gameweek.

  14. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Clinical performance from Liverpool. Bournemouth never really had a sniff.

    1. get_in
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Apart from the unfairly disallowed goal? And the goal for Benteke that wasn't? Were you even watching the match?

      1. Who Let The Dirk Kuyt?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        clearly a foul.

  15. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Benteke my captain. Finally a bit of fortune. Probably shouldn't have sold him for Gomis before the price rise on Saturday....

  16. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Get in!! 3 points! Joe Gomez was outstanding!

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      no he wasnt

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yes he was dafty, you obviously don't have a clue about football or weren't watching

        1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          baha...his mistakes weren't punished. he was in no way "outstanding"

      2. brankoz11
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        He did his job.. Clyne was outstanding shut everything down almost on the right hand side and great bombs forward

        1. Fanta sea
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          And should've had an assist for benteke

        2. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          lol. you guys are deluded. nobody in your defence was excellent, let alone outstanding. you were lucky to concede just one and to have the one you conceded harshly disallowed.

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No he wasn't

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Lol, you don't have a clue about football, like the majority on this site.

        1. Siegfried Sassoon
          • 14 Years

          Didn't you know scousers know everything?

        2. il Brutto
          • 12 Years

          Different opinions = clueless. Faultless arguing there.

      Yeah your brother did really well.

    2. Revival

        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for the positives guys..that bentekke goal that shouldnt have been just typical of season so far..drains you after spending so much time picking a team..oh well see what happens

  18. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    So, who played better United or Liverpool?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      United. Apart from Rooney.

    2. Fanta sea
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool but very slightly

  19. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Tekkers > Gru?

    1. Jereme Halliday
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      yes

  20. Judas
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Benteke (C) 18 points is a nice send-off after selling him to get Aguero, Gomis and Payet

    1. BuK II
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You'll be lucky if he keeps all the BAPS.

  21. get_in
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Impressed with Ritchie tonight, Daniels looked very good also. Hopefully a couple of price drops and I can grab Ritchie on my WC. Wilson started well but went missing in the second half, spent too much time in the box and not enough putting some graft in.

    1. Old Boots
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ritchie impressed me too. Looks the pick of the bunch and should do well in 'easier' fixtures... Will there be room for him in our midfields though?

  22. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    not sold on Firmino.

  23. ARKANOIIDE
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    This was...... bad.

    Arsenal - Liverpool predictions?

    5:0 😛 Duuno if (C) Kun or Sanchez.

    1. PainInDiaz
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      2-0 to Arsenal.

    3. Breadbin

      Depends who the other players in the equation are.

  26. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Great, 26 points GW2 and 51 total...

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      50 total here.

  27. Vasty Deep
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Reid or Cedric?

  28. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez (c) confirmed for next week

  29. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Yup. No need to consider Tekkers in wildcard team.

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks, I'll stop considering him now.
