For those trying out FPL for the first time, GOAL advise players to keep in mind the following ranges when tracking their scores:

“FPL gurus and seasoned managers generally agree that averaging 50-59 points every gameweek is the bare minimum target. A gameweek score between 60-75 points is considered good, and between 76-99 points are excellent. 100 points or more is an outstanding achievement that falls into winner's bracket.

“Using the gameweek's average score as a benchmark is potentially a more effective method since it changes automatically each week and makes it easier to track your progress. By attaining the gameweek's average points throughout the season, you will at least be in the top half by the end of the season.”

You’ll see weekly updates on the Liverpool players bringing in the most points on average, plus the BIG hitters from the other fixtures across the Premier League (watch out for Raheem Sterling, Micky van de Ven and Mo Salah this week!).

💬 If you haven’t played your wildcard yet, you’re now best advised to wait until after the international break… but what changes are you already lining up?

As ever, we’re supplying weekly form rankings, so you can get an idea of the players that are beginning to hit form at the right moment, hopefully, before their transfer fees soar through the roof!

* Top 20 footballers (plus where Liverpool’s active players fall in each) within each ranking *

🟣 = 13-15 point average per game

🟢 = 10-12 points average per game

🟡 = 5-9 points average per game

🎖️ It's Mark O’Rourke’s league and we’re just living in it! Will anyone knock him off his perch this FPL season? It remains to be seen…

🥇 567 points - ISimplyAmNotThere FC (Mark O’Rourke)

Hwang Hee-chan to remain after the international break? He’s on 31 points from his last five games in the league…

🥈 549 points - KpsychsS (Kaushik Saikia)

Watkins or Salah for the captaincy? Both Kaushik and Mark answered that question perfectly in Gameweek 8!

🥉 527 points - Darwinter is Coming (Sean Keogh)

A difficult gameweek for Sean with Bryan Mbeumo continuing his spell of poor form and typical points-getters in Kaoru Mitoma and Erling Haaland registering two points
