Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Spurs

Saturday’s action concludes at Anfield with Liverpool attempting to halt a wretched run in 2017 with victory over fellow title hopefuls Spurs.

From a Fantasy perspective, our focus will mainly be with the visitors, with Dele Alli and Kyle Walker boasting 27.2% and 36.2% ownership respectively. Harry Kane (19%) and Christian Eriksen (15.9%) also go into the tea-time kick-off heavily backed, despite suffering significant sales: Kane was shown the exit by more than 127,000, second only to Liverpool’s Adam Lallana ahead of Gameweek 25.

Jurgen Klopp’s assets have slumped, both in terms of output and popularity with Philippe Coutinho (17.4%) and Lallana (16%) still the top owned on show. The latter is without a goal or an assist in his last five Gameweeks.

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

    Spurs off the boil, still in the FA Cup and in the Europa League. Looks like a tough 6 weeks coming up which will test their strength in depth.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      well they'll be out the FA cup soon 😉

    2. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't look to have either tonight, especially options on the bench.

      Tough times for them.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      depends when Rose is due back

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years

      Captain Obvious : Cos it's a tough fixture vs Spurs and they're scoreless against Hull last week?

    3. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      They might have a blank next gameweek

      1. TooDifficuIt
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        why ?

  11. Toure The Route
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Since May 2015, Tottenham have only won one away game against a current top-eight Premier League side in all competitions.

    Big game bottlers.

    So how many are now relying on siggy to save their week

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I wish he blanks

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well above average with him as captain so wouldn't be saving, the bonus however would be splendid!

    3. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm relying on Jesus to not destroy my week

  13. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Replacement for Alli?
    Replacement for ibra?(short term)
    Replacement for sanchez?(short term)

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      2 weeks to overthink.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Can you assist? 😉

      2. The Overthinker

        1. Arteta
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I wish I could help you but I have no idea what I'm gonna do too.

    Title race blown wide open!

    1. Garlana
      • 9 Years

      Race for 2nd?

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        This

    2. The Overthinker

      Love it.
      Only.if united had won those matches 🙁

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years

      Not the the title race, unless Chelsea lose tomorrow

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Spurs are in decline

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nah we be ok. We better than UTD and Liverpool will collapse again. We will get top 4

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        United have been really unlucky.
        Every keeper they play against turns into neuer

        1. JabbaWookiee
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Going to win the title next season? Jose seems to think so

        2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe. But I'd say de gea was a bit of a super keeper too

        3. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          As a United fan, I disagree.

          One or two matches like that, it's bad luck. When it happens in multiple games, the finishing is just not good enough.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    World class dele Alli with a performance to warrant the plaudits

  17. Gaz Downright
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Southampton the Liverpool branch was admittedly quite good today.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Got Spurs at a good time have been pretty awful for a few games now

      1. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Are you saying it was merely a gifted win?

  18. Sonic Huth
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Got Ibra for 11.2, Still sell?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      no way

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Then how about Kane-Costa?

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          maybe, I wouldn't personally. Bench Ibra, sell Sanchez

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No no NO

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would say no but if you have sanchez sell him instead

  19. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    The Son is setting on Spurs

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He needs to set for good

  20. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Get rid of Ibra or Sanchez next week?

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ibra imo

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      alexis for Haz. Ibra will get 10+ against Bourmoeutn

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Doing Sanchez personally
      Liv (A) vs Bou (H)

  21. AA33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What a high pressing 2nd half that was.....

  22. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra -> Lukaku? no brainer?

    Also have Sanchez but I'm keeping

    1. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly the position I'm in, seems like a no brainier imo

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      not at all. Keep Ibra

    3. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking this myself. The odd goal and assist now and then isn't enough to keep Ibra surely?.

      Seems he is playing quite deep upfront too

      1. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        none of my rivals have him so I think i will ditch

  23. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    50

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years

      Calling out for Wayne?

  24. Sponge-worthy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Good day today. I got a haircut today and Ibra blanked.

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You're bald and he got an assist

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He has bits around the side

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He should grow them out

          1. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Comb over?

    2. Sponge-worthy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No, he didn't blank. What am I talking about?!

    3. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years

    That's why you never trust spurs players .
    A grade frauds

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      been saying it for weeks that the formation change would cost them

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Only team ever to finish 3rd in a 2 team race

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      They will do anything they can to finish below Arsenal.

    3. Al Bundy

              Even if Millwall did win, they'd probably reschedule it for March, just like the article that you linked says
