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.

    If anything this season is all about patience than ever before. Find players you can trust and hold. That's the only way I can see this season going okay.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No point having patience with weeks and weeks of 2s just to get 1 week of a decent score.

    Barcelona XI vs. Alaves: Cillessen; Vidal, Mascherano, Mathieu, Digne; Busquets, Rakitic, Suarez; Turan, Neymar, Alcacer.

    That looks so average...

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lol surely you aren't serious

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        For Barca*

        Poor keeper, average right back, Mathieu is rubbish, Denis Suarez is average, Turan has never been close to his Madrid levels, Alcacer is average.

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Oh well aye for Barca but I reckon that team would still compete with most teams tbf

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Shocking for Barca that

      Not their 1st team of course

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Suarez & Neymar... average? Surely you're an Arsenal fan?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Pretty sure that's Denis not Luis.

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Suarez and Neymar

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Just so you know, it seems to be Denis Suárez? Luis doesn't play in midfield.

    5. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

      Stick to watching the Prem lad.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for your unbiased opinion. 😉

    6. OPTA FPL

      where is Messi?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Benched because of internationals. (and CL presumably)

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Up to 20 now, Baines, Lukaku & Captain Hazaa should get me somewhere respectable!

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If you say so.

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yea

    3. TheSteel

      Hate to break it to ya...

  4. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any guesses of what the average will be?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      27

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Big high looking at the points on here no?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Currently 29

  5. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    From 125k to 440k according to fffix. 15 points. Absolute horror GW. 🙁

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not as bad as me 6 points after hits

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Gw is not over, it's only 1 gw anyway

  6. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is there an undo button on FPL? Asking for a friend.

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, it's next to the WC reverse button.

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years

      That username

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years

        Hold on in there

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Haha thanks mate! If Hazard delivers all will be good

  7. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Firmino pony-tail ridiculous though.

    Get rid

  8. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    all according to plan this - Vardy goal tonight and hattie against Burnley, the nship for Kun back 🙂

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

    I somehow ended up with Lallana in my team, do I just ship him out for Antonio right now?

    I know there are midweek games, but its early season and if I did need another transfer it would only be my first hit of this season and the price rise could be huge.

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Close your account and never return to this game again.

      That should do it.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No.

  10. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Antonio knocked down to 1 bap 🙁 How is that possible?

    1. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      they lost

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      They went from being up 2-0 to being down 2-4

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I thought it was based on the players stats and not the teams result?

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          It is but you get - BAPs for goals conceded

    3. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ridiculous imo. He scored a brace and doesn't even get 2. Deserved 3

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Clearly non-bias comment about a player who lost 4-3

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          It is but you get - BAPS for goals conceded

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It's based on non biased stats. Not your biased feelings.

    4. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes Payey is up there

    5. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He played the Costa chip.

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Rightly so!

    7. Mr. Meeseeks
      • 9 Years

      Where do you see the expected bonus?

  11. Sergeant Garcia
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Not getting Antonio, but opting for Zaza, was a dreadfull mistake.
    Investing in West Ham defence, was a mistake.
    Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Did you do any research on Zaza?

      Close your FPL account immediately and walk away like nothing ever happened.

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, loved him at Juve and Sassuolo, but Antonio was the better pick.

        1. devils advocate
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Say what now?

          He hardly played at Juve.

          Think you got the wrong player.

          Close account now and walk away. It's in your best interest, trust me.

    No need to put on a comedy film tonight, just watch the highlights of West Ham and Liverpool's defending

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Or go back through the comments to 2.01pm when people realised the beast needed a rest after flying 1st class!

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Coutinho needed on here to settle the ship and keep the ball! Also to keep Capoue on even more benches 🙂

  14. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Current LMS score? I think I'm out if Hazard and Lukaku blank.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Too early

  15. Bobadoba
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Redmond to Antonio (no hit)?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Jerk of the knee

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Do it. In form, wants to break into the England squad first team.

    3. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

    4. Mr. Meeseeks
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hell yeah.
      Antonio is West Hams life blood. You get him as a 7M £ midfielder. I traded him in after his second goal. The guy is clearly on another level this season.

  16. willl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Went Firmino + Baines over Williams + Mane, hoping for a pen or two.

  17. Yome

    Benteke captain next week against Given

  18. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hey guys does anyone know why Souare didn't play today?

  19. Shakshuka
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A) Gray - > Benteke
    B) Redmond - > Antonio

    Head says A but heart says B.... Thoughts?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Play the game with your head. Why play using emotions?

      1. Shakshuka
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Because we're human beings with feelings, impulses etc.. Thanks though, ill stay strong 🙂

    2. twoplustwo

  22. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Does anyone know why Souare not even on bench today for Palace. Injury?

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No, just rubbish.

  23. Jay_
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Just got home from West Ham
      Blew 2 goal lead
      Sold Snodgrass for Sterling -4
      Captained Sanchez
      Capoue on bench
      Journey from hell getting out of stadium to station
      Terrible day

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Zaza dropped for next game or did he offer enough?

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Chin up fella.

      5. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Snodgrass to Sterling was dumb this gw so serves you right.

        The rest is understandable.

        1. Emp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          capping sanchez wasnt

      6. Sergeant Garcia
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Same mate, Holebas & Capoue on my bench. Zaza instead of Antonio.
        Next week better!

    • thep025
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Got a team of-
      Foster Heaton
      Valencia Stones Morgan Friend Amat
      Sanchez Hazard Firmino Redmond Capoue
      Ibra Lukaku Gray
      Time to WC? and damn banched capoue again...Time to start him from now?

    • Jasoooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Worth playing the AOA attack chip next week to get Capoue onto my field?? I can then restructure and get a cheap midfielder to take Capoue's place on the pine when I get Aguero the GW after

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah why not.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You could just play Capoue each week.

      3. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Dont think he'll do anything against ManU, but might do it the week after though!

        1. Jasoooooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Tbh, I thought that he wouldn't do it against Chelsea, Southampton (away) and West Ham (away), but he has....... And he's pissing me off racking up the points on my pine lol

    • TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Do we keep Lamela or not?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        We?

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm thinking of selling for Antonio.

      3. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If you like having a non playing expensive mid, then sure why not?

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Lamela plays but Antonio appears to be better value.

      4. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm keeping they play Sunderland next

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      People rushing to get Antonio in, he will NOT score a header against a Tony Pulis backline of 4 CBs!

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Antonio is pretty essential no? I'd consider capping him

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          lol

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Triple even... Keep hitting away to get him in!

        3. devils advocate
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          It's hard to know who's essential because you say everyone's essential.

          So who is actually essential?

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Firmino! OOP, fixture proof, Klopp loves him 🙂 🙂 🙂

    • Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Can anyone beat this?

      gw3 Firmino/Vardy -> Bolasie/Ibra
      Gw4 Eriksen/Kun -> Ozil/Lukaku

      I know Lukaku is still to play but...

      1. Dasher0303
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I did Vardy to ibra for gw 3 as well and did Firmino to Ozil gw4

    • Weeb Kakashi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Stayed Away from Zaza
      And instead Went With Antonio 352

      Thanks to those who suggested this!

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        There's a good argument right now to have a cheap non playing striker, 4 big hitting mids plus Capoue.

    • RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio is a pain in the arse.
