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.

    lol......capoue on bench...

    1. potatoace

      its what all the kool kids are doing this week.

  2. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why did Klopp bring Coutinho with 15 minutes to go when they were already cruising? Stupid manager.

      If only we all had the knowledge of you

      Jk 😉

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

        You love a JK 😉

        Not JK'ing 😉

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

          Oo 😉

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

      Cause his mate had Cout with Capoue as 1st sub

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

        His mate must've knew it was coming after the capoue returns

    3. Davido989

      To annoy you.

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This.

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Checked the top 100 scores from LMS last week.
    Average is less than 24 pre baps as a guide.
    Obviously plenty of Sterling and Sanchez owners.

  4. jaybommber

    Aggravated
    Was doing firm + grey to tekers+antonio
    Now looking at this 3-5-2
    Wildcard next week or now?
    Foster
    Baines - Stones Van Dijk
    Firmino - Sanchez- Hazard - Antonio - Capoue
    Ibra- Lukaku
    Jakupovic - Stuani - Paredes - Friend

  5. Slurpy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Happy with my team so far
    Brought in Koscielny,Antonio Benteke and Snodgrass and they all scored and still have Luakaku Baines and captain hazard to go. Only downside was Sanchez and Holebas scoring as my first sub.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Fantastic!

  6. StalkingDwarf

    How did Bony play?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      listened to it in the car. hardly heard his name mentioned.

      it was a 4-0 drubbing though, Im sure he'll have much better games in the near future

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

        Thanks. I guess I'll stay away from Stoke until they can actually manage to get out of last.

  7. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What I've learned

    If they have good underlying stats and good fixtures don't transfer them out.

    May seem obvious but Alli and Firmino out was stupid of me

    1. Feeling_blue
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Townsend still roving that wrong

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Townsend says hi.

      But yeah, many started scoring with good underlying stats. Tadic, Eriksen, Firmino and Lallana.

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

        Eh I never fancied having him, if you looked properly his stats weren't that good.

        Long shots for days

  8. MartialMatas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ideas for my team?
    Foster Heaton
    Shaw Stones Souare Friend Amat
    Hazard Sterling Cazorla Redmond Capoue
    Ibra Vardy Gray

    £3.5 ITB but want to keep ~ 3.0 to do Vardy to Aguero when he's back otherwise ill have to use another transfer to downgrade someone
    WC intact

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        If want to keep wc & not take hits, probably have to keep an eye on Gray news and focus switch there if needs be.
        At least that's my dilemma.

    2. mrtapio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wtf.. 8pts from 6 players..

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        and the rest?

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

          Courtois , Hazard (c), Barkley, Costa, Lukaku

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

        Taking part that counts, right?

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure why people feel they need to compare their teams to others and try to copy them. Play it your way 🙂

      1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Use your Forehead copycats

    4. Kemosabe
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      what is the possibility of capoue being risen by .2 before next deadline?in that case who should i change to bring him in? crnt mid:hazard,sanchez,antonio,sterling,bolasie.

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        High I would say at his current price and points

        Is it just a fluke?

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

        Friday deadline doesn't help but if he rises tomorrow he's got a small chance.

      3. Kemosabe
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        may be not.he has been playing really well since the pre season,i guess the formation suits him well.his next match is against man u which deters me to bring him right away

      4. Kemosabe
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        according to FFfix,he is rising today :-/

      5. Kemosabe
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        capoue as a viable fourth mid can easily solve the quandary of making a team with kunibar,hazard,sanzhez,liverpool mid all in.i am not sure whether should i bring him in now when my team is set up nicely for next gw

    5. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Happy with 51 pre bonus with Defoe, Hazard (c) and Baines to play

      Team for Gw5
      Heaton,
      Walker, Valencia, Baines
      Antonio, Ozil, Firmino, Hazard
      Benteke, Defoe, Vardy (c)
      Subs: Pickford, Mcauley, Amat, Maloney

      I will save the transfer this Gw as everything looks good.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Fantastic.

        1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks how's your team doing Berb
          Lots of ppl tinkering to get Capoue and Santi in. Once they fail others will shine. Keeping faith in Ozil.
          Gw6 would be interesting to get Augero back.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Similar to you, 55 with 3 and Hazard captain to go

            Your team is good in my opinion

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

      Mane is hot property. Great luck picking him at the last moment how are things fairing guys so far

    7. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Foster
      Shaw McAuley Friend
      Sanchez(C) Hazard(V) Tadic Ramirez
      Ibra Lukaku Diomande.
      Jak Capoue Stones Amat
      4,5m itb, 1 ft
      Ramirez to Antonio or Cazorla. Tadic out maybe too?

    8. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm already thinking I would like a Liverpool Midfielder rather than Arsenal.

      It's just so hard to pick one

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'm considering adding Mane to my Firmino in GW6.

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

          With Liverpool's high pressing and having to rely on attack, doubling up isn't a bad idea. Can't pick the wrong mid if you have them all.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yep. Firmino is effectively a 8.4m striker, the guy is everywhere.

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Howd the wildcard score?

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

        We've got Maneeeeee, Saido Maneeeeee

    9. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ok. Time to face the music.
      This is what I did this gw:

      Kouyate to Mane (C)
      Mahrez to Ozil
      Love to Smith
      Lamela to Antonio
      Aguero to Vardy

      Total transfer cost = -20
      Gw score so far (including bonus) 88.
      Players left: Hazard Baines Lukaku
      Bench boost played this week.

      Wildcard "wasted" gw 2.

      Serious question. Did I do good or bad? I know I scored more than most people on here but I have taken a minus 20, played my BB and played my WC. Feels strange(ish).

      Thoughts?

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Wtf of course that's brilliant

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Doesn't feel brilliant tbh. Feel sor of ashamed for taking a minus 20(!) just after a WC...

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

        Are you for real??

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

        Link team

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          How? Team ID 375338

        2. Third Eye Vision
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You're the guy who didn't know that Brendan Galloway is a centre back playing at left back.

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

          Says the guy without his team linked. 🙄

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

      5. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        88 - 20 is still huge. Extraordinary choices. so well done! (But don't expect to that every time - or even again this season)

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks. I will stay clear of hits from now on. Dodged a bullet perhaps

      6. Carpe Diem
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        You'll know after the DGWs.

      7. MTPockets

          Crikey

      8. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Was patient with firmino n it paid off today. Don't know if I can remain patient with friend. Lamela. Redmond, gray. Have WC. Wat ye reckon?? Stick till I WC in gw 6/7???

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          id stick, you're almost there.

      9. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        look nice so far....cazorla antonio benteke ibra.....capoue on bench...
        had costa hazard williams to go......

      10. b✪mber
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That C on Sanchez really turned out well 🙂 after bonus 37 with Haz and Baines feels meh, but I live to fight another day.

      11. Nabzzy
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Who should get the axe for antonio ? Given the amount of fixtures are good

        A) Tadic
        B) Townsend

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Townsend surely.

      12. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Berbs, just seen a tweet that makes sense. Drop Coutinho back to Wini's position and play the same front 3 we did today

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I agree. Wij was good today but you can't fit them all and Lallana is playing really well. Can for Henderson too.

          1. internal error
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah. Can, lallana and Coutinho. Coutinho is too selfish most of the time.

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

        Ok. This gw my transfer was Townsend to Antonio 2 goals

        Last gw it was Alli to Sterling 2 goals

        Whom should I bless next gw?

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

          Your next move? 😉

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

            Actually considering no transfer this week.
            Or Negredo to Rondon but he got benched today

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

              or get kelechi for one GW only.

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

        Firmino or Mané?

        Is Mané deceiving us because of his play style, he's so exciting but (maybe) Firmino will get more points?

        1. Costa Nostra
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You need more Mane in your life.

      15. StalkingDwarf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can we skip to the DGWs where I actually have a one up and get good scores please?

        Honestly though, this season is already much more entertaining than last season with so many more good options. And they don't all cost 6.0

      16. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Anyone, how did Sturridge look before he was subd?

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Did well. Created chances, was very unselfish in his runs and passing. Should've scored.

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

            Worth getting for vardy?

            1. Davido989
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              I wouldn't get him for this week. Could easily not start vs Chelsea.

        2. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

        3. Champ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Thanks gents

      17. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        feels like sterling (C) next week.

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

          Rotation is what putting me off City mids. Gundogan and Sane slotting in for nearly anyone is scaring me.

        2. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Im not sure. He spent an awful lot of time out wide.
          This is what gave KDB so much freedom,

      18. Wurstmuncher
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        tempted to get in Lallana and Cazorla in for Sterling and Mirallas - if Mirallas blanks tomorrow

      19. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        What would you do with this lot?

        Foster Jakupović

        McAuley Evans Amat Targett Baptiste

        Sánchez Hazard Antonio Townsend Højbjerg

        Ibrahimović Vardy Lukaku

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Townsend to the nearest bin possible.

          1. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Haha Townsend is dreadful. Best replacement?

            1. Davido989
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

        2. Sánchez

        You might have captained Sanchez or took Bobby F our for Sterling but there were people on here this morning who make 10-17 transfers and forgot to active their WC... It could be worse!
