Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Liverpool

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.

    Which players would be great to bring in to increase some value?

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Price rises are too small this season

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Salah, Pope, Ward/Mee, Kane, Sane, Mane

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Whoever scores big this GW.

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      players that did well today so you catch the stampede

  2. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    a) Cedric & Bakayoko > Trippier & Carroll
    b) Cedric & Chalobah > Ward & Surman

  3. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Would you:
    1) use 1FT and do foster > DDG and play Abraham
    2) use 2FT and do Foster > Pope and Long > Daniels and play Daniels over Abraham

      1)

    When your captain gets a penalty, do you get more excited expecting a goal or do you get more nervous fearing a miss? 🙂

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Both at the same time.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Fearing a miss

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      That depends 😉

    4. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Really depends on who it is. Kane = confident. Lukaku, Salah, Agüero etc. = nervous.

      1. Foozeball
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        With Kane: as long as it's not at St. Mary's with that dodgy penalty spot lmao XD

  5. S.Kuqi

    Anyone here not brining Kaku in for next gw?

    1. _figu

      • 6 Years

      If he gets injured I won't 😛

          • 6 Years

          curious how are you going to fund him. I'm considering Otamendi to Daniels.

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I am on a WC and I'm considering dropping for Kun

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I probably won't bring in him. But a long way to go until the next GW.

    4. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Have him already.

    5. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure depends on kun

      He's massively over rated in these parts.

    6. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      probably not

    8. ... But we sold Coutinho!

      No, why would I?

  6. DV8R

    First WC team. Thoughts?

    DDG, Elliot
    Azpi, Jones, Daniels, Mee, Duffy
    Sterling, Salah, Richarlison, Gross, Carroll
    Kane, Kun, Abraham

      kun > kaku and you’re g2g if all the players are healthy

    4. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      RLC over Caroll for me with Palace fixtures but looks good.

    5. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Rlc over Carroll

    6. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Very good, and I’d keep Aguero over Lukaku.

  7. cjhewitt92
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Jesus and Bertrand to Dunk and Lukaku

    Or

    Jesus to Morata

    Already have Sane and Aguero

  8. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Ryan
    Azpi Jones Otamendi
    Salah Silva Richarlison Choupo
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    Elliot Dunk Ward Carroll

    Got 1.5mil to use. I was thinking Ryan to DDG. Or should I do something else?

  9. KUNingas

    Would you WC this team?

    DDG, Elliot
    Bavies, Monreal, Ward, Schindler, Cedric
    Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, TC, RLC

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      no.
      Maguire has good fixtures too

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        What ? Man C and Spurs in the next 3 good fixtures ?

    A) VVD (liv, EVE)

    B) Davies (ars, WBA)

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

    Kiko, Abraham or Jones, Ayew?

    1. klavan

      Jones and Calvert-lewin

  13. dunas_dog

    Is Murray now a good option as third striker to spread funds?

    A B ir C moving forward?

    A Kane Lukaku Murray
    B Kane Lukaku Morata
    C Kane Aguero Murray

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      C with Abraham, Murray has Hemed to worry about and still think Abraham being the better player, comes out on top long term

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Thanks. Abraham good choice but Swansea looked really awful and worry is he will not get good service

      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Just looked at your team. Very solid and with 2 FTs I don't think you have to. But it's an option.

      Monreal Long Morata out. Maybe DDG? With a hit you can move 3 of those out and still bring Kaku.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Keeping DDG for sure.

        Monreal, Morata could be out, yeah. Just don’t know yet which has to be my third transfer.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          You've had him from the beginning, very nice 🙂

          Assuming you're bringing Kaku in for Morata. How are you going to fund that? I have Jesus and not really sure. How do you feel about downgrading Otamendi? I don't have many options.

    5. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Good team use your two FT plus a hit if required

      Such an uninspiring choice

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        You have to think that the West Ham and Everton jobs are about as good a PL team that any UK manager can aspire to.

    King posted some pretty good stats today.. Was he injured the previous two games? Considering getting him in for his good run.
    Also, would you rather keep Vardy or Firmino? Yes I have both 🙁

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think king as a striker and high price is not a very good option imo

  20. ... But we sold Coutinho!
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Need a 5.5 defender, and trying to consider good options:
    Bournemouth, I think, haven't shown the form needed to warrant bringing in Daniels. I just can't see clean sheets even with the next five 'easy' fixtures.
    Otherwise, Leicester and Burnley don't seem to have great fixtures either, even though Burnley almost always have a chance at a CS. Is it too risky to go with Ward, Fuchs or Maguire?
    What about Moreno? He has potential for attacking returns, but can I afford to bench him every second week? Does he rotate well with anyone?
    Would love to year your thoughts.

    1. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Bournemouth's form is conceding 3 goals in last 5 GWs (including chelsea and spurs)...

  21. Ghost Gooner
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    2 of the 3 mini league opponents ahead of me atm keep benching Burnley cleansheets. If I win the ML for the 3rd time in 6 years they are gonna cry 😛

  22. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years

    Transferred in Alli over Salah this week, damn. We all make mistakes

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      ouch. knee jerk on Wednesday night by any chance??

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)

      The mistake wasn't made this week. Should have had him in a month ago.

    3. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years

      Alli hasn't played yet!

  23. ooooo
    • 6 Years

    Ryan + Vardy + Jesus to DDG + Abraham + Lukaku
    Any reason I shouldn't do it?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't do it

      1. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Why?

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          it's not an upgrade in what you have
          i would happily have Ryan in my team for quite a few weeks to come
          and I don't believe Abraham is that good an asset

          1. ooooo

  26. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Foster at risk of falling tonight and I want to replace him with Pope, who has a small risk of rising tonight. I hate making transfers so early, but I don't want to be hit with a .2 loss in value :/

    1. hurrrrr
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Neither are them are close to a price change.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Foster @ -100%

    2. hurrrrr
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Actually scratch that - fpl statistics puts them very close. Was using a different site to track because I’m planning on making the same change.

      Might be worth jumping the gun then as they’ve both played and it would be extremely unlucky to pick up an injury over the break & even if they did you still have the second keeper.

  27. George Sillett

    Who assisted Gayle's disallowed goal?

    1. Holy See

      Hayden I think. Curious question. My knowing it is even curious..er!

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years

        I just wanted to know if I should feel bad about it being disallowed 😀

        1. Holy See
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Binning Ritchie after this week. He's had a fair crack.

      2. Holy See

        Ritchie, oops!

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan

    1. dunas_dog

      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Cedric looks likely to fall tonight according to fpl stats so if .1 m important do it now
