Saturdays’s events conclude at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will host champions Leicester City.

The big teamsheet news is that Klopp has made the decision to keep Philippe Coutinho on the bench, despite flying him back early from international duty with Brazil. That allows Daniel Sturridge to earn a second start of the season, whilst Lucas has to come into to central defence with Dejan Lovren ruled out with an injury sustained in training.

Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City are unchanged as they bid to build on their 2-1 win over Swansea City in Gameweek 3. There’s no place on the bench for new signing Islam Slimani.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Ozil to firmino, lamela to Antonio -4?

      I got Antonio in this week for a hit. Can thoroughly recommend it. It was for Tadic though!

    Hey, remember when everyone hated Firmino and got Sterling in instead?

    Those were the days, lol. 😉

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino was essential, fixture proof and a false nine god at the start of the season 😉

      1. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Why didn't you tell me this 2 weeks ago?

        You greedy so and so. 😉

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Don't think it was mentioned before GW1 much...

  4. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    People actually captained Firmino? Well done!

      The panic here is the best part after a few 3pm kick-offs go the wrong way for people!

      Should we start...playing...Capoue?!

      Must have missed out on about 30 odd points benching him so far, and after next week his fixtures pick up.

      1. Dimen
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I will do that. So much money over. I played him today for the first time. So happy.

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He won't score in the good fixtures though, guaranteed

        1. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          This is my worry, but there we go.

    4. Goaldigger
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone happen to know why Souaré didn't play?

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        dropped i think after his fault last week leaded to King goal

        1. Goaldigger
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Ok. Harsch.

      2. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        dont know. glad i got rid of him on wc though

        1. Goaldigger
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Good move. I just got him in with mine 🙂

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        Dropped for Kelly, muck!

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Was a bit bored and noticed FPL stats has an 'Owned' tab, so I checked it out. Of course the usual suspects are there, some on this season's form, some from last but shockingly, not that far down the list with 20.5% ownership is Kante. WTF?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Casuals... Look at Dier too, madness!

      2. some witty pun
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        its the fpl casuals

        Lots of dead teams.

      4. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        casuals buy players who are good at football rather than good at FPL

      5. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but Kante was never a great FPL option last season, great player, but not a great fantasy option. Mind blowing.

      6. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Where is the "owned" tab?

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You you mean the column in the table?

          That's not called a tab

    6. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Damnn Needed firmino to be quiet. was in my plan to get kun back for around exact cash

      alexis lukaku --> kun firmino.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Strange plan considering Lukaku's fixtures

    7. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino is gold, never forget

    8. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      bottomed, Lanzini -> Antonio on a FT or a lateral move?

    9. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Need a Defoe no show......anyone know where he lives?

      1. Goaldigger
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yup me too. Say hi from me.

    10. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Poor old Milner, not a single mention for the assist.

      1. The Donald
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        reverse OOP

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        All set pieces too, alas Cazorla but at LB.

    11. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      Firminio rescues my abysmal day. 11 from 7 before that

    12. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This is what I have got
      Foster Jaku
      Stones Valencia Williams Friend BSmith
      Hazard Ozil Coutinho Lamela LCook
      Zlatan Lukaku Benteke

      1Ft

      One of Lamela or Coutinho out for Antonio?
      Holding on to the WC and will use it b4 GW6 so no need to save Ft. And Antonio will probably rise .2 by then.

    13. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      What if I told you I captained James Milner?

        REKT

    14. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Midfield has become a total nightmare, must be 20+ decent options atm.....

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Severely tempted to go with 4 big hitters in midfiled + Capoue ( 😎 ) , even if means downgrading Ibra

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Capoue is a big hitter now

      2. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        my dream mid would be

        Hazard Firmino AntonioCazorla Snodgrass Capoue

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          *at the moment. it may change in a couple of weeks though

    15. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A. Lamela (SUN, mid)
      B. Redmond (SWA, whu)

      I can't decide who to drop for Antonio. He's meant to rise tonight, so I'd like to get him in today. Opinions?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Redmond seems nailed so would keep him

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers

        2. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          So is Lamela

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I know he was rested because of the long haul flight. But surely Poch has to play Son now, doesnt he?

          2. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Noticed that today....

            With Son back (and in form), Sissoko there now, I would not be so sure of that.

      2. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Lamela - fear he will be subject to rotation. Think I'm knee-jerking myself tonight

    16. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cmon guys admit it who benched Capoue and/or failed to jump on the Antonio bandwagon??

      Also can't believe we've all been looking past de bruyne despite his performances last season

      1. The Donald
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        o/

      2. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        cost of KDB is difficult, but he looked amazing today

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Will still be worth getting, though not as effective when Kun is back.

      3. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Sold Wilson and Capoue for Antonio and Grabban.

    17. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ohhhh my points jumped from 14 to 20. Get in!

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'm stuck on 13

    18. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mane looking lively?

    19. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bah.

      Sanchez or Ozil in my head for two weeks and Caz does the business.

      For less.

      Good lord!

    20. Mikeharbrw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Tempted to wc now with kane (avec dembele) as a aguero place holder

    21. willl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If Milner gets classified as a defender next season, and Liverpool buy a proper left back, he will be absolute gold.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Go again

      2. JÆKS ⭐

    22. Moin

      Firmino -93.4...so close to a fall...now he will rise... 🙁

    23. TheSteel

      That goal cost my rank overall rank 3,000 lol. Down to 16k

    24. rohan
      • 14 Years

      Firmino (C)

      Something going right today, FPL wise

        Well Done!

        really?

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        Right now, make it for a hit even!

    26. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Foster / Heaton
      Shaw Williams McCauley Souare Amat
      Hazard Ozil Barkley Antonio Capoue
      Ibra Giroud Stuani
      3.1 banked, 1 FT.

      Problem areas of the team:
      Stuani: I have the money to upgrade. I plan to do Ibra to Aguero for wk6 im likely to need 1.2 to do that, so if i can spend 7.1 on a replacement that means no hits in wk6.
      Souare: Didnt play, but is a bench choice anyway.
      Rest of the team: Solid.

      Benteke/Negrado/Wilson/Gray dont have good enough fixtures for my liking. Hence Stuani's possible replacement targets based upon price and fixtures:
      A) Bony 7.3 wk5-14
      B) Deeney 6.9 wk6-14
      C) Ighalo 7.3 wk6-14
      D) Hernandez 6.0 wk8-15

      Which option to pick?

    27. BB-8
      • 9 Years

      Sold Sanchez gw3. Sold Firmino gw4
