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.

  9. Team Cruel

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why isn't Milner listed as a defender?!

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

      because he would be Baines

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe next year - automatic choice!

    Leroy Fer is a good player but the teams he plays in always seem to struggle! Any ideas why?

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

      He plays for crap teams.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years

  13. Long Juan Silva
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

  22. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    1. Jamie_GAWA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      By getting more bps than anyone else on the pitch

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      For the celebration

    3. FantaCity
      • 12 Years

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