Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Chelsea

With an international break looming, we need to cherish this weekend’s action. Fortunately, on paper, the Gameweek looks to have plenty to offer us – beginning at Anfield for Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho’s side draw up on Merseyside sitting on the Premier League summit to find a faltering Liverpool outfit struggling for a foothold.

Brendan Rodgers men have just two wins in their last seven – a run that has prompted Fantasy managers to turn their backs on the men in red: even Raheem Sterling’s star has faded badly in recent weeks.

Sterling will have the opportunity to show his worth, going up against Chelsea’s cast of midfield heavyweights – Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar. Meanwhile, up front, Fantasy managers will be monitoring Diego Costa’s sharpness. Once an “essential” asset, Costa’s recent injury woes have seen enthusiasm dampened – goals today would quickly reverse that.

The early kick-off is followed by a quartet of matches, before Chelsea’s title rivals, City, pay visit to Loftus Road.

Stick around to discuss the day’s action as it unfolds and keep one eye on our Twitter feed for all the lineup news.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Can's goal was definitely an OG the ball was going nowhere near the goal.

      It was on target mate, forget about it. Move on.

      Youre blind. Clearly heading for the far corner, well within the goal.

        no it wasn't.

      sterlings price has dropped like a stone.. that's what no goals in 9 will get you

    2. 7shadesofsmoke

      nice.

      Sold Sterling and Welbz ahead of the curve, Pellé ©, ADM and Agüero owned.

      Sanchez is the player i need to stay quiet.

      Siggy sellers could regret in a couple of weeks when Swansea fixtures get awesome

      1. Muffinz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Then they get bad again though. 4 bad fixtures in next 6.

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          use the ticker, go for a long stretch of ten or so games and run it from GW13. Swansea are worth holding IMO

    i am dealing with this very very very lucky rival in my group, Jagielka didnt start scoring till he got him in his team and now Cahil is scoring for him. :S

      Annoying casuals.

      1. Pigvig
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I hate all those casual players that do better than me

    2. mitro

      a guy in my league has a dead team at 37k

  4. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Adm differential captain haul would be scrumptious

  5. SweeSwee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Fabregas brace incoming

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      an assist to an ivan headed goal would suit me..

      1. Kip
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        very much this

    2. Saint & Reevesy

      You reckon he's got bad teeth ?

      1. RÏɠBY

    Clichy at 5.3 looks yummy

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      vito's laughing too

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Until you realise you've bought a defender from a team who's struggling to keep cleanies and will be dropped in a month.

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Man City defence has been a shambles, Company is out and Clichy had an absolute 'mare in Europe

      It looks delicious until you read the ingredients

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Kompany 😆

        thanks Auto

    4. Saint & Reevesy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not with kompany out today

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I am considering it. But Kolarov could be back soon. There is 14 days break for the international games you know

    6. Randy_Marsh
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I dunno, City's defence has been poison so far. How long is Kolarov out for?

  7. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Missed the first half. How's my Perma pick Hazard playing?...Let me guess...really well with 2 pts incoming...

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Should have at least a brace by now

    3. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      The usual. Everything but the end product.

      That 20 pointer is coming soon tho.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He makes himself impossible to drop when you watch him.

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Indeed

  9. rickardinho
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Coutinho is magic... First that lob on Matic and throughball to Balotelli's offside goal, and then that mazy run before his low shot towards the corner that Coutois saved. Pure genius

  10. Randy_Marsh
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I was expecting a lot of numptys on here today but it's sensible discussions, what's going on?

    Guys, I'm not sure how many are aware of this but i thought it'd be interesting to take a look at how Hazard's matching up this season after ten games compared to last season.

    Head over to the comparison tool for full stats. You might be surprised.

    For a taster, though: this time last season, he had three goals and one assist.

    Which is the exact same as he does this season so far.

    1. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      *Two assists, rather.

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Fabregas getting a fair bit of set pieces to deliver, not much else. Costa busy wrestling with Skrtel. Hazard and Ivanovic most involved in attacks 😛

  24. FPL Daniel
