Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Liverpool

Liverpool’s top four ambitions come under scrutiny in Sunday’s next encounter, as Jurgen Klopp’s charges make their way to the London Stadium to face a buoyant West Ham United.

Boosted by last Friday’s 1-0 victory over London rivals Spurs, Slaven Bilic’s side will provide a stern test of Liverpool’s credentials; the Hammers have kept three successive clean sheets heading into this match.

The Reds will surely look to Philippe Coutinho for inspiration.

The Brazilian is comfortably the top owned asset on show in this afternoon kick-off, with the midfielder still part of 18.8% of squads.

He has suffered from significant recent sales, however: more than 221,000 managers have moved Coutinho out of their squads over the previous two Gameweeks. A modest 14-point return over his last four Gameweeks, featuring just a single goal, proved damaging.

Coutinho’s profit from this match is likely to have the main impact on our Gameweeks, then, with only minor interest elsewhere.

Roberto Firmino – part of 10.5% of squads – misses out, while Daniel Sturridge earns a rare start, his first since Gameweek 20.

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

      Arsenal play better when the pressures off.

      Pountless 5-1 win coming up.

      1. El-Kloppico

        6 years, 12 months ago

        But its Liverpool, even the Boro match is not won in advance..

        1. acidicleo

          True...

    Alonso Monreal Bavies
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane King
    Kane Jesus

    Subs; Cech Yoshida Barnes Stephens

    0.6 ITB and 2 FT

    I know the transfers will depend on injuries and results in the second set of matches in this GW.
    However any ideas coming up re: 2 FT as it stands now?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Rose might claim his place from Davies for the last match

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        this, and Coutinho if Pool are still fighting for CL place.

      2. acidicleo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

        Maybe Matip vs Boro?

    2. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Haz / Alli to Couti and Bavies to Matip ?

  6. GE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Alli and Gabbiadini -> Coutinho and Sturridge (-4) could actually be tempting 🙂

      Nah . People assuming he's ok just cos he's Alexis have never had a deadleg. Doesn't matter how tough you are with that one

      He may play bit just as likely he won't

    Aboard the Sturridge wagon

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      For that you'll need to wait for a last minute, in case he injures himself while boarding the bus or leaving the hotel.

    5. jimmy12
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 12 months ago

    Origi is horrible at football isn't he! As a non Liverpool fan he drives me mad just watching him, god knows how you feel

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      As a pool fan I can tell u he is more annoying than Andy carrol or benteke

    2. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Been pretty awful for all of this season, very much a confidence player. But don't get me wrong, he isn't good enough for us

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      He looks the part so he gets away with it

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 12 months ago

      Aye, he's conning a living if you ask me! Wouldn't let him clean Gayle's boots!! Haha

    West Ham are shocking. You would think they had never played at this ground before.

  16. Lawrø
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 12 months ago

    Lukaku with an unfavourable away fixture on the final day of the season and Sturridge has an easy home fixture... seems like a no brainer 😉
