FPL Gameweek 3 Results: Friday's Top Scores And Talking Points
The call — Ipswich 0-2 Liverpool: Isak scores twice, walks off after 63 minutes Alexander Isak scored both goals at Portman Road on 4 September. He played 63 minutes, took maximum bonus, and left with 13 FPL points. His side kept a clean sheet behind him. He was the top scorer of the day and the captain pick in hindsight.
The supply came from Cody Gakpo. Two assists, 90 minutes, two bonus, 11 points. Both Liverpool goals ran through him. That is two returns in one match from a midfielder who played the full game.
The back end delivered too. Alisson kept the clean sheet, added a bonus point, and finished on eight. Van Dijk and Araujo took six each across 90 minutes. Jacquet and Kerkez took five each. Five Liverpool defenders and the keeper all banked the shutout. Ipswich did not score and barely registered — Palacios was their top FPL scorer on four points, with no goal, no assist, no bonus.
The one item to note on Isak: he came off after 63 minutes. Two goals in that time is the fact. So is the substitution. Managers who own him lost nothing here — 13 points is 13 points — but the minutes number goes in the ledger.
What the day tells you:
Isak. Two goals, three bonus, top score of the round so far. Owners hold. Owners who captained him were paid. He does not leave a squad after a night like this.
Gakpo. Two assists and full minutes. He is producing and he is playing 90. If you are weighing a Liverpool midfielder, he is the one who returned.
The defence. Six Liverpool players banked clean-sheet points in one fixture. Alisson at eight points led all defensive scorers on the day. Van Dijk and Araujo went the distance for six apiece.
Ipswich assets. Nothing to act on. No goal, no clean sheet, no bonus anywhere in the side.
The call the facts force: Isak stays in and stays armed for the captaincy conversation. Gakpo starts. Liverpool defenders start. Hold every one of them.
