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.

    What a great weekend. Football on the telley and Ryder Cup on the PC.

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

      U S A U S A U S A

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That looks like sausage

    Would be absolutely lovely if Antonio grabs a goal today to punish the fickleness of those that took him out for Lallana after one blank.

    Lollana.

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      People actually did Antonio to that once in a lifetime purple patcher?

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

        Many many people on here were talking about it, not sure how many actually did it.

    Amat sat grinning at me from the 3rd spot on my bench

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      They'll concede

  4. Mr. Blonde

    Amat locked for season

  5. JIM BOB

    9 years, 3 months ago

    I dont like Firmino over on that left hand side :/

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      As a non owner I love it

    2. Rossamous
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It's not that bad. But I would bring in Can in the double pivot, move Coutinho out left, and bring Wilj up to the hole and keep Firmino up top if I was manager

  6. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho so deep

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

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

  11. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I hope Sanchez and Aguero don't play so I get Amat off the bench.

    1. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Please let this happen, Aguero (c), Amat (vc)

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

    Firmino looks like assisting the assister type in this system right ?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

  19. RoysCallerAnne

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
