Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Man United

Gameweek 8 comes to its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Man United to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s in-form outfit seek a fifth successive win in the top-flight and could even climb to the summit if they register a victory by a margin of four or more goals.

That’s perhaps unlikely yet, having netted nine times in two matches in front of their own supporters, the Reds will be in buoyant mood tonight.

The likes of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane will be keenly monitored by Fantasy managers as the Merseysiders prepare for a superb upcoming run of fixtures.

For United, the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the main point of concern around these parts.

The big Swede has a single goal in five appearances and has already earned more transfers out than any other forward in the Gameweek.

Another blank and the exodus will surely pick up pace, given that Jose Mourinho then takes his side to former club Chelsea next Sunday – the Blues have chalked up back-to-back shut-outs since the switch to 3-4-3.

        Surely you've never seen the stats tables?

          Surely the only stays that count in fantasy are goals and assists

            Goals and assists can be predicted via other stats. The Holebas goal this week, for example, was far from a surprise.

      Valencia and Holebas saving my GW. Benteke and Agüero ruining it.

      Man United possession tonight (34%) is the lowest they have ever had in a Premier League game.

        Its an away game against a very good Liverpool team

        Only one stat counts.

        I thought they were terrible and played with fear, it's bad when a football powerhouse refuses to play it's flair players like Mata and Lingaard, imagine Barcelona leaving out Neymar and Suarez in El Classico and just going with Messi up front?

      If Benteke hadn't missed that penalty Zlatan and D.Fletcher to Benteke and Walcott would be up there as my best transfers ever...

      still, 6 points up on the deal and glad to be rid of the Swede!

      I would say that getting rid of Ibra was a good move but I brought in Benteke for him....

      Heaton - Pickford
      Valencia - Baines - McAuley - Smith - Amat
      Firmino - Payet - Son - Walcott - Snodgrass
      Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

      0.4 ITB
      Would like to rejig my defence but not sure if it's worth it?
      McAuley to Holebas or Pieters or save?

    • FrankieTheGent

      If Valencia gets 3bps I'll take that as a sign to take a minus 4 hit
