Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Liverpool

3,230 Comments
Share

After just four goals in the afternoon matches, we could feasibly beat that in the final kick-off as West Ham host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Having won this game 4-0 last season, the Reds will be heavily fancied to run out victors again, particularly after the revelation that Sadio Mane is fit to return to their starting XI.

The Senegalese gets the nod, with Daniel Sturridge dropping out of Liverpool’s front three to make way. Elsewhere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earns a first Premier League start in midfield.

However, it’s fair to say that the main focus will be on Mohamed Salah who goes into this contest with five goals from his ten Gameweeks, backed by almost two million owners and with 250,000+ trusting him with the captaincy.

West Ham’s Fantasy assets have long been in decline. Chicharito remains by far their most popular asset, figuring in 13.1% of squads, though he has lost 384,000 owners in the last four Gameweeks.

With injuries and suspensions at the back, it’s expected that they will struggle to repel Jurgen Klopp’s charges.

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

      I like Richarlison as a FPL asset (not as a player in a real life as I think he is being overhyped - like Josh King last season). My ideal midfield would be Eriksen, Silva, Salah, Richarlison, RLC. I have three of them and will look to get in Richarlison.

      Don't see the point tbh, can find a better use for the 1.2m surely?

    26pts, 8 players to go, Duffy sat on the bench.

    Any chance of Jesus or Sterling to featuring so I can get my Duffy points?

    Well played to those who captained Salah, I wasn’t one of them.

      I did Sterling to Salah(c) this week because I thought Sterling would be benched.

    How's this looking going into the next few (3-5-2)

    Pope Elliot
    Azpi Daniels Ward Maguire Mariappa
    Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison RLC
    Kane Lukaku Quaner

    Thinking might be worth getting Morata instead of Hazard as will give me another 4.5m playing sub instead of Quaner

    Had Salah capatino and chickened out and put him vice after Kane. Time will tell but sometimes fortune favours the brave.

      Same but still think it was sensible choice. Week to week I'd be more worried Kane hauling.
