Saturday’s early kick-off is a significant one.

Liverpool park up at the Liberty Stadium with their rich array of midfield talent heavily backed by Fantasy managers.

Adam Lallana is the latest flavour of the month – snapped up by 195460 new owners heading into Friday’s deadline, the former Saint will be looking to maintain flourishing early season form.

Phillipe Coutinho is just a few thousand behind his team-mate in terms of transfer traffic this week, as the Brazilian goes on defying his initial price tag to challenge the genuine heavy-hitters.

Both returned double figures in the 5-1 demolition of Hull City but, just maybe, it could be Roberto Firmino’s turn this time around.

Tipped as our weapon of choice heading into the season, we’ve since elevated Sadio Mane above him in our Watchlist rankings.

In truth, at this point, none of us can be certain on the one single member of Klopp’s midfield to target. We’re all hoping that today’s encounter will shed some light on the problem.

That’s presuming that Swansea City have read the script.

Swans’ boss Francesco Guidolin appears to be clinging to his job and that might just spur a determined display – they certainly showed enough against Chelsea and Manchester City to indicate that this will not be an easy afternoon for the visitors.

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

    This is why you don't buy Liverpool defenders

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

  4. Sanchit

    Sanchez + Mane - > Capoue + Get to save cash?

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

    Is it just the casuals that giggle every time Fer scores a goal each gw?

  6. Sanchit
    • 10 Years

    Sanchez + Mane - > Capoue + Fer to save cash?

    2. Dr Mantis Toboggan
      • 10 Years

  7. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    no moreno scapegoat this time

    liverpool cant defend with or without him

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Still no proper left back though.

  8. Sauzée
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How can a team be so consistently poor at the back?

  9. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane or Firmino to Fer?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Both

  10. stachman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I don't think anyone can ever talk me into Pool defence...

  11. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    *clutching* At least Matip's goal record isn't bad.

  12. Mario Balofail
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I would love to chat with people here on some IRC channel but this posting seems to be very clumsy. I'm just saying....

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      IRC?

      Shall we all just move back to newsgroups?

      1. Mario Balofail
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Well if you select people properly and will not count those "pls-RMTWC-draft-awesome-instant-Aguero-to-Holebas(C)-decission-just-kidding users", it could be pretty nice talking and a big contribution to the site as a whole.

    2. Ryan Naysmith

      Yeah it Is annoying

    3. Mull

      There used to be a chatroom with real time updates on matchdays. It wasn't used by many people unfortunately.

    I know the gameweek isn't over BUT

    rough with the smooth

    Took captaincy off Lukaku
    Transferred out Benteke and Fer

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It hasn't even started yet...

      1. Cantona90
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Did I not just make that point? Jesus

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          You said its not over. Big difference.

          1. Cantona90
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Well it has started though. Everton played last night and Liverpool are playing now.

      2. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        It has started, and Benteke and Fer have both scored. I think that was his point.

        1. Cantona90
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Thank you.

    Fer making a mock of difficult fixtures by scoring against Chelsea and Liverpool now

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

      Tough fixtures are a myth these days.

      Someone should write an article about it.

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Matip has a good head on him.

  28. SG1
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I've got Leroy on bench again. It's just not Fer.
