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

      He was quite attacking and made a few runs but that's about it. It's hard to tell who will start next week though.

    Why is everyone getting in Richards? One clean sheet against a promoted team and plays for a pretty bad Villa side.

      Amavi is going to scoop the BAPS if Villa get any, so I'd avoid.

      Stoke and Muniesa might be a good alternative.

    Newbie question here: I'm on a WC and trying to catch a double price rise, I've put in Kompany and Yaya and hoping they go up again by the end of the week. However, I plan to actually get Kolarov and Silva in my team by Saturday but they also look like they might rise, so what do I do?

      If you get the double rise for the first two, then sell for two players who have risen then you will be the same off as if you had jsut bought the second pair to begin with.

          Of course this is contingent on the first pair in fact getting that double price rise. That looks likely for Toure but Kompany doesn't look like a sure thing.

          I'm in the same boat and have brought Kolarov into my team already. Silva looks like he will rise tonight as well so it doesn't look like you have any chance of making a profit on Toure, so you might as well bring Silva in now.

    Schmeichel
    Merte Huth Muniesa Targett COATES

    Got 0.5 in the bank
    A) Coates to Williams
    B) Be stingy and get Richards in instead

      No Aguero?

      Rooney was looking really poor so wouldn't go with him, I'd be leaning towards Kane or maybe Payet
