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.

    LUKAKU and FIRMINO Captaincy choices delivering the goods.

    Pressure on my Kun (C) now

  2. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Last week Coutinho, mané and Lallana were in the points, now only Firminho.

    Words of advice, DO NOT SWITCH BETWEEN MIDS. It's seriously a lottery.

      milner owners having a laugh 😀

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        3 penos in 2 games 😀

    2. potatoace

      Milner is the constant in all this melee

    3. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      This! Just have to accept it will vary week to week, wouldn't be surprised in the least if Mane bags a hat trick soon. Double up on their mid is a serious consideration.

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

      Unless you can guess well, when it's a venerable goldmine

  3. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like I own the wrong LIV mid, am I the only one here have Wijnaldum?

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

      Er, not just on here

    2. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, awful choice I'm sorry to say

  4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Seriously considering captaining firmino gw8 vs utd.

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

    Has Nyom replaced Galloway at WBA?

    He's only 4.3

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

    Law of averages

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

      It's Murphy's law for Firmino non owners

  7. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Liverpool midfield just pick and stick they'll all get you points on different weeks. Firmino has trolled me already this season but just got to be patient or double up and your basically guaranteed points atm

  8. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    18 points from 2, finally a good start to the GW 🙂

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

      27 points from 4 here. Decent. Wouldnt mind a Mane goal though!

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        very decent! mane not so much... 😉 p.s. hope you went Monreal over Bellerin

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

          Ended up getting Koscielny actually

          1. Your Mum's Athletic
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            still a great shout

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years

      Well done 🙂

      1. Your Mum's Athletic

      24 from 4

  9. Pedram
    • 12 Years

    Firmino theory busted

  10. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    20 points from 3 not too bad ::

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

      34 from 3

      ooo oooooooh

  11. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyway...

    Agüero will save the week!

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

      & Capoue with 2 goals.

  12. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Madness that people sold Firmino

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      This

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

    Manè 🙁

  14. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    changed from firm (C) > sanchez (C)..can't complain though

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

      I forgot the early deadline and also have Sanchez even if I was going to swap to Firmino.

  15. Duffo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is it fair Milner has 3bps whilst Firmino has 2?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yes

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If he has the most bps, yes.

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

      Milner has been a beast this game. Scoring goals is only part of the baps system

    4. Mesh
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino only has 1

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

    Milner's earned those 3 bonus points.

  17. FALCAO & MOU
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lallana has done his part, now for Son to troll me.

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

      Son better not troll ffff

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

    Milner could be the most consistent Liverpool mid to pick, manages to sneak the odd assist and also on penalties

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Penalties? Consistent? 😆

  19. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    28 from 2 played. It's going to be a good week.

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

      Lucky sod.

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

    Happy with Firmino points but the bps doesn't seem to like him...

  21. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 9 Years

    Do you know where to find decent streams for PL?

    1. itwaswritten

      Rojadirecta

    2. Epic Fail

    5. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Rojadirecta looks decent

  22. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    antonio up top interesting as he may not get so much space to bull into for his runs and headers

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

      From what I've seen, most came from slow or set piece delivery

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

    Miner ruining the negative OOP theory

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

      True
      But in fairness klopp doesn't really do fullbacks

  24. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Really harsh on Swansea.

  25. Eden Azzzar
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I'm loving this start 25 from 4 with Captain still to play

  26. Judas
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I can't beleive Jonty took A -8 hit in order to get Sanchez.

    Doing Firmino + Baines ---> Lallana + PVA!

    That is such an un-jonty thing to do

  27. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Capoue will score

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

      !!!!

      2 goals

  28. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

  29. Fowler23
    • 9 Years

    Pool defence omfg
    Karius is terrible

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

    Horrendous miss. This Swansea manager is just cursed
