Team Analysis – Assessing Klopp’s Liverpool

Our next members article of the international break assesses the impact of Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool during his first four league matches in charge at Anfield. The former Borussia Dortmund boss had enjoyed a solid start to life on Merseyside, staying unbeaten in his first six matches in charge across all competitions, before suffering a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace last time out.

Scoring goals had been as issue for Liverpool under previous manager Brendan Rodgers at the start of the season, with the Merseysiders managing just eight in as many league matches. That record has only slighted improved under the German, registering five goals in their last four matches, although they have faced fairly difficult opposition (tot, SOU, che) prior to their home loss at the hands of Palace.

With that in mind, we investigate the team data in the members section to try to establish Klopp’s impact over the first four league matches of his tenure on Merseyside.

    Scoutcast on.

      Yeah

    Butland McCarthy
    Azpi Kolarov Bertrand Francis Richards
    Sanchez KDB Tadic Maherz Westwood
    Pelle Lukaku Vardy
    1 FT, 4.3 itb

    A) Azpi --> Rojo
    B) Azpi + Pelle --> Rojo + Aguero (-4) Have exact money for that.
    C) Save

    Suggestions?

      C)
      only DDG and Smalling are nailed on for United, and when players dont perform for LVG he usually hauls them off at half time, you dont want a 1 point GW from Rojo

      1. Bainesill
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Rojo has been playing good and has played every minute the last few GW's. He also looked good for Argentina? Why the hate?

    where is all this Rojo chat coming from?
    i have Kun in my team and as long as he is semi-fit he's in

    Can anyone help? I'm on a WC

    What do you make of this idea?

    -----------------Butland--------------------

    Bellerin - Dann - Rojo

    Ozil - Mahrez - Tadic - Sanchez

    Kun - Vardy - Lukaku

    Sub bench -
    Hennessey - Alli - Dier - Cathcart

    If I leave it as it is it is...

    ---------------- Butland --------------------------

    Bellerin - Dann - Rojo -

    Ozil - Mahrez - KDB - Sanchez

    Ighalo - Vardy - Lukaku

    Sub bench

    Hennessey - Tadic - Dier - Cathcart

    **************
    Any helpful advice much appreciated...

    1. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      The one with Kun, maybe Vardy to Ighalo (no two Leicester) and then Tadic to Countino

      1. adidasOriginals
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        thanks chaps! appreciate it! like the idea, Kickit!
        although I can't envisage getting rid of Vardy after all this time

    2. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      So it is pretty much KDB v Aguero?

  6. Viper
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Payet -> Deulofeu this week, no hit.

    Pelle -> Aguero next week, no hit.

    Look good?

    I'm looking forward to having a differential like Deulofeu in my team. It's all gone a bit stale lately.

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      It's what I am looking at as well, so yes I like it

  7. Tansey
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Quick question, can anyone tell me where to get into the players database or profiles or whatever?

  8. mr messi
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Ozil or Deulofeu in this week for Payet?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      If funds are no object then Ozil of course

      1. mr messi
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I would need to take a hit and get rid of Bellerin or Cech

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          I'd go for Deulofeu then!

          1. mr messi
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            He is in good form and has good fixtures - seems a good punt.

            1. Viper
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              I'm going for him myself!

              Good luck!

  9. Alittude
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    ighalo, kdb and alli

    or

    lukaku, mane and drinkwater

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Tough one.

      Option 1 will be more consistent.

      Option 2 more explosive (minus Drinkwater)

      Think I'd prefer option 2.

      1. Alittude
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        cheers vipe might give it a cpl weeks and see

  10. Viper
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    I still haven't taken a hit this season.

    In general do you think it benefits rank in the long run with few hits?

    1. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      balance is vital.. too many may be wasting points and not enough could also be losing out on points

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      theoretically you could take a hit every week and have it pay off

  11. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    all this aguero talk, i still think ill wait a week as dangerous as that may be..... 😕

      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Not dangerous, only few own him.

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Me too.

      Can't see 'Pool conceding many even if he does start.

      Hopefully he stays under the radar for the following week!

    This is my current team with a wildcard still to play,

    Butland
    Cedric - Azpi - Janmaat
    De Bruyne - Mane - Sanchez - Mahrez - Willian
    Pelle - Martial

    Subs: Myhill - Ighalo - Bellerin - Moreno

    Got a FT and £1.2mill, what should I be looking to do in the next couple of gameweeks? Need to play the wildcard soon.

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Martial to Lukaku.

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Great minds, did this transfer just before your recommendation. Thanks for the advice.

    8 years, 5 months ago

    Martinez on Baines...
    ....“We need to be cautious because it was a re-injury, and he has been sidelined for a long period of time.

    “We will give him as much time as we can but we are in a positive period. A lot of good work has been put in, he had the behind-closed-doors game and every day in training is another step towards getting him back to full fitness and being available.

    “I think it is too early to tell when that moment will be when he can be reintroduced back into the team but certainly every day is a step towards that.”

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I'm sure I'll be coaxed into owning him sooner rather than later!

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I think a few were hoping sooner rather than later with those fixtures...me included.

        Not sounding too promising now...

        1. Jimbo123
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed, sounds like it could be a while before he is starting

    Do we think Aguero will price rise soon?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        But that only tells you the current situation. A lot will get him if there's a positive press conference.

            Was just wondering based on our inside info that the presser will be positive.

    Experimental wildcard with big front 3. Midfield too weak?

    DDG Hennesey
    Monreal Kolarov Bertrand Souare Simpson
    Ozil Silva Mahrez Deulofeu Davis
    Pelle Aguero Lukaku

    1. adidasOriginals

      experimental?

      like it strong 3-4-3

    2. Dr Dream

      I prefer Vardy to Pelle...

    3. Usmanov

      Kolarov isn't nailed. Downgrade him and maybe upgrade Pelle to Kane?

    4. Pepereina Pizza

    Unbelievably dull question but...

    Surman or Watson?

    Surman has been nailed on all season, Watson only in the last seven weeks. Watson has more chance of clean sheets though, giving me one whole extra point if he ever actually plays....

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Surman for me. You won't want to be using a transfer if Watson is rotated out.

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Watson is on set pieces I think. May be on pens if Deeney doesn't play

    3. KingNidge
      • 8 Years

      the surmanator

    da Gea
    Cedric | Janmaat | Souaré
    Sánchez | De Bruyne | Mané | Willian
    Lukaku | Pellè | Ighalo

    Cathcart | Surman | Moreno | Hennessey

    1FT
    4.6M

    It basically boils down to:

    a) Pellè --> Agüero.
    b) Pellè --> Kane.
    c) Ighalo --> Kane.
    d) Save.

    a was always the plan.
    b gives me another week until a, or a -8 for Agüero.
    c looks best for maximising points this week, with a -4 for Agüero.
    d is sensible.

    HELP PLEASE!

    Looking for some info guys.

    Glasgow rangers fan(unfortunatly) heading to the chelsea v porto game next month. Never been to the bridge, Is there a pub attached to the stadium? If so is it any good?

    Or any good ones close to the stadium someone can recommend?

    Cheers

    So, I was thinking about this nonsense of how many times Sánchez has been dispossessed, and how to set it in an appropriate context ... 😉

      This confirms his poor form atm. Will give him until GW15 to prove his value!

    Really want to get Jon Walters in. Is he even a half-decent punt?
