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.

    If one were to double on Liverpool mids, I guess one should be Milner due to price and pens right?

  8. Hi I'm Jose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho has just started great. I wish the game was 100 minute game.

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

      Plenty time

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

    Liverpool midfield is a minefield at the moment. Dont know who the best option is

    Lallana
    Coutinho
    Firmino
    Mane
    Milner

    All five has scored exactly THREE goals.

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

      Who has looked most attacking this game to you?

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

        non has particular impressed this game.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Just pick one and stick with them for 3-4 gameweeks at least

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      If they're all scoring the same the decision should be easier.

    5. ST United
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Go for lallana mate..essential

  10. Pinky and Brain

  14. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

  15. Kroosin'
    • 9 Years

    Henderson got a yellow but still leading the BAPS for Liverpool.

  16. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Think a 'Never Captain' rule should apply to Liv mids

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

      Why not? Good chance of getting a big score in any week. Embrace the variance.

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

    That was a poor ball from Milner. Could have put it on a plate for Mane to smash in first time

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

      He knew it as well judging by his reaction

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

    Milner does so well but screws up the pass

  30. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
