The Dugout Discussion – West Bromwich Albion vs Liverpool

In the first of two Easter Sunday fixtures, we drop by the Hawthorns at 1.30pm as West Bromwich Albion entertain Liverpool.

Unsurprisingly, Jurgen Klopp recalls both Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino after both emerged from the bench to grab a goal apiece in the 2-1 win at Stoke last weekend.

Coutinho’s strike – his third in as many matches – made him the sixth most transferred in player for Gameweek 33, with over 89,000 new owners.

In light of the Brazilian’s recent output, it’s no surprise to learn that the he is the most captained player for today’s early kick-off, with 77,887 FPL managers handing him the armband.

As the only team without a Gameweek 34 fixture, sales of the Baggies main men are likely to escalate over the next few days.

Indeed, both Ben Foster and Gareth McAuley are the top-ranked keeper and defender for transfers out since yesterday, with over 8,000 FPL managers already ditching the latter.

After being withdrawn before the hour-mark in each of the last two league fixtures, the McAuley exodus was well underway last week, with over 44,000 FPL managers drafting out the centre-half ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

    Only two DGWers are Valencia & Benteke. Need to raise funds to bring on Ibra, which move is better to do so?

    a) Baines > Gibson
    b) Siggy > Zaha

      In celebration of Lucas Assist....

      hey guys, which new chips do people suggest need to be added in FPL. most if not all people seem to agree that AOA is a shire
      chip.

      I wish there could be a chip where one goes with a full first 11 of a single team for a particular game week once a season or a chip that allows you to make one substitution even when the gw has started.

        "Joker" chip
        You can bring on a player from the bench before GW updates

        It needs to be something you activate beforehand just like the existing ones. I couldn't keep up if I had to make a substitution during the gameweek.

        We already have AOA which benefits attackers, to supplement that I'd like chip which doubles clean sheet points or something like that. A simple enough chip, and a full playing defence with clean sheets could give you 30 extra points, comparable to well done TC or BB.

      Pulis is absolutely terrible at endearing himself to football fans with his bitter remarks. He really needs a PR advisor.
