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.

    Tight at the top, tight at the bottom.

      Something to keep everyone happy then

      Tight in the middle is where it really matters.

        Why's that my man - not winning or going down?

        Thanks Georgie boy, it's decent,,,pretty low compared to some on here tho!

    That Spurs XI which lined up against Chelsea at home is the best team in the prem. Injuries have cost them, but they will come back strong. Just choose on whether ure willing to wait

    1. Rainer

      Behave

      1. F4L

        7 years, 1 month ago

        i'm sorry for speaking sense. I'll go back to speaking nonsense; Aguero is the best striker in the league 😉

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          That he is

    2. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure the Chelsea XI that started is the best.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        well they lost 2-0 and didn't have a look in

        1. 4. Arsenal FC
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          That's like saying the Watford line-up vs Arsenal was better than Arsenal's

      Not the best team in the prem if they play well a few games then bottle every week

      "best team in the prem"

      What you smoking mate?

    6. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Agree

  4. Sushant
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pick One for -8:

    A) Kosc+Sanchez+Ibra to Alonso+Hazard+Lukaku
    B) Sanchez+Ibra+Gray to Mane+Costa+Lukaku

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

  5. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra + Eriksen --> Costa + Manè for a -4?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Both Costa and Mane have blanks, why bring them in now?

  6. My Name Is Prince
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I can't help but feel I have overestimated the importance of getting yourself well prepared for the blanks... I didn't buy Jesus and Mane, for instance, purely because of the blanks, and now I feel I should have just bought them and benched them for the blanks... Whoever will play for me in GW26 & GW28 probably bring me the same points Jesus and Mane would have gotten me over the few weeks before the blanks... Thoughts?

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      But we didn't know that Mane would score a brace.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but I would have gotten them in if there were no blanks... I knew that Mane and Jesus will get points...

        The point is that maybe there's no sense in selling your great players that you know will do well before a blank... Epsecially before a blank like GW28 when the alternatives are obviously a lot worse and won't probably get you the same points anyway...

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Probably won't bring me the same points... Oh dear god what a mistake...

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I mightn't have got Lukaku and Barkley last weeks of it wasn't for the non blanks

      So it cuts both ways

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, true... I had Lukaku way before though... You got lucky, I got unlucky... Can happen either way... But Lukaku is a good choice, it depends on the alternative you are going for...

    4. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I decided to not worry too much about the blanks and brought in Jesus and Alonso this week. I think they will outscore, say, Carroll and Maguire/Reid or whoever people are bringing in in those positions.

      As long as you got Siggy and Lukaku, I think you are gonna be OK for the blanks.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly, I think your strategy is the correct strategy here, because so many teams are blanking in GW28... Obviously we don't know it yet, maybe one or two of the big teams will play in GW28 and then it's a different story again

  7. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Markovic the go-to Hull attacker? Along with Jaku in net for D.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hell no. Grosicki is much better.

      1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Subbed under 60 today though, easing him in?

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Should be nailed on. Markovic is speeder, he can't finish. Markovic = Navas.

          1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah you're right. Markovic seems much more likely to explode with a hatty though, Grosicki a steadier flow of assists...

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

      yep, altho he cant be trusted

  8. Karan14
    • 7 Years

    Which 2 do I get rid of?

    My gameweek depends on Chelsea game. For making it a maaaarvelous week
    Have 4 players from that match.

  11. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which non blanking mid to get for Sanchez?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        But does it make sense to buy him after one good game when he'll have a blank?

  12. NestorC
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with triple Spurs now, Kane, Alli, Erik, someone gots to go?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      On this form...all of them

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sell all

      They are on a massive fall

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years

      sell sell sell, activate wc if needs be

  13. KUN+10
    • 9 Years

    Sanchez, Ibra to Kane, Haz for -4?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez to Haz perhaps.

      No to Ibra -> Kane...Spurs in a death spiral

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Kane in, pfff

  14. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    2 transfers so 2 of Cedric , jones , Ibra , Sanchez have to go

    I'm considering Ibra to Niasse !?

    Covers the blanks and looked good today

    Leaves the money to go Rondon up to a big striker after 28

    Is niasse pretty nailed now ?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Keep ibra for Bournemouth? And def wouldn't be getting a hull striker for him

  15. kenzo.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sacnhez was near -100% last night on fplstats and now he is -44%.... Can i sleep over transferring him out until tomorrows matches are over?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      no

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      tactical change

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That's one tough guy.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      good pick on Mane there. He is on top for a reason

    3. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I am not surprised, having watched an interview of him. The guy really knows football.

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Damned Knuuuuut!!! He brought in Pedro fer Lallana this week...go Burnley!

    5. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I had a good week but still not as good as his, what does it take to catch up to this guy

    6. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      His GW ranks for last two GWs have been shockers though. But I guess its how you do in the grand scheme of things that counts.

  17. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbiadini most transferred in player. Fpl is really a difficult game out there

  18. gonzalocampos
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Call me crazy, going 5-3-2 next week:

    Alonso - David Luiz - Mcauley - Nyom - Funes Mori
    Eriksen - N'diaye - Snodgrass
    Costa - Lukaku (C)

    Is going to be massive!!!

  19. Nanoelektronicar

    37 (42 with baps) Alonso, Siggy and Jesus(C) left.

        I am also wondering about this.

    Few problems starting to emerge in my team.
    Alli
    Philips
    Antonio

    Nothing but 2 pointers for the last month.

  21. F4L
    • 9 Years

    Anyone worse than 18 with Alonso Siggy Costa and Jesus cap to come?

  22. Live Lad

    Liverpool might blank next GW if Leicester need a replay. So don't rush to buy Mane yet.

    1. Professor Abel X

      Not true

    First time this year Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have a week to prepare for game. First time this year they win a Premier League game. #LIVTOT

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not strictly true though, is it? They've sent out complete B teams in the cup games, should give the rest of the group a week to focus on the PL match.

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Still had to prepare for those games and had first team players subbed in

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

      Plenty of time to prepare for the next game

      2 weeks worth of time

    Does anyone else find it hysterically funny that Gabbiadini is going up on price tonight?

    Many casuals getting him not even realising the blank

    1. Del Griffith

      Unbelievable Jeff!

    2. A.T

  27. NestorC

    Who looked better(if we can say that) Alli or Erik? Want to ship one for playing 28gw mid.

    1. E25
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      With Eriksen coming off early and Alli's potential explosiveness I'd get Erik out.
      Many will argue as he's on set pieces, etc.

      1. NestorC
        • 7 Years

        cheers

  28. E25

    Most people shipping Sanchez with the view to get him back gw 31 kind of time for good run?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Think I might.
