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.

      impossible to say, especially with unknown blanks

      1. 4. Arsenal FC

        That's true will ask again next week.

    Sell Sanch for 11.4, bought him for 11.0, no money itb?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why would there be? You get the profit added into your selling price.

      1. NestorC
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, but I am afraid he wont drop to 11.4 until all blanks, so I cant buy him back

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He won't drop to 11.4.

          1. NestorC
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            So better bench?

        2. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Keep him so.

    All in all, with only 2 goals from Sanchez,Ibra and Kane I think us Siggy captainers survive 🙂

    1. Unbelievable Jeff!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same with us Jesus captainers 🙂

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I dont like yous 😛 ruined the main man!

    2. E25
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Unless he blanks vs 30 points for Sanchez....

  7. E25
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

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

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

      Makes perfect sense

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes...probably. Wait til after tomorrow's games though

      1. E25
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. Shouldn't lose any prices before then as likely going for Haz

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, shipping him and keeping Ibra.

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Blank, Game, Blank is unplayable isn;t it.

      I really am tempted to ship both Sanchez and Ibra.

      1. E25
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I;m thinking same except was going to go for Haz and Luk.
        Only saw end of Everton game, puts a question mark over Luk for me though,

    5. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      What if price doesnt drop too much and cant buy back after blanks?

      1. E25
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        The beauty of having a decent TV 🙂

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I predict that Sanchez and Ibra will be comfortably 0.4 cheaper than they are now. For the price I brought them that works out well for me.

  8. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Debating one of the following

    A) Alli > Mane (bench Mane during blank and own Kane)
    B) Pieters/A.Smith > Brunt
    C) Neither

    Please help?

    1. E25
      • 8 Years

      Need to see whole team

        Heaton

          • 8 Years

          We have similar teams.
          I'd do Sanchez -> Haz

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You're not gonna be fielding many in GW28...5 definites so far.

          Might wanna be using your transfers to field a few more.

          Get some cheap Hull defence in perhaps...Jaku as a 2nd keeper to Heaton

    2. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Own Alli, Pieters and Smith. Probably doing Sanchez, Pieters > Hazard, Brunt for (-4) this week. Smith should have a nice pair of fixtures 28 and 29, and will just be surplus till then.

  10. Sonic Huth

      Hope Costa avoids Barton/injury.

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 7 Years

        Looks like he Kane won't be dropping today

  11. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    i am planning to take out sanchez for hazard in front of next gw. Going to bench ibra. But should I use my second transfer to upgrade defender or midfielder.

    A : Could play nyom, baines, alonso ATB and upgrade de roon > 7,3

    B : Could bench de roon and get in whoever I want in defence for amat or pieters. THinking of brunt or coleman atm

  12. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    1.Sanchez > Hazard
    2.Ibra > Costa
    3.Stanislas > King
    4. Save and play T.Carroll or Stanislas

    Option 3 and 4 mean benching Ibra and Sanchez and playing 5-3-2

    1. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      1

        Thanks Timbo. At the BORO aeverton game today. Good game for 0-0.
        Baines non existant. Schneiderlin our best player.

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Nice one. I heard bits on the radio. Sounded like Lukaku was very quiet?

    2. Business Cat

      1

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      3 as 1 and 2 means you're getting a player with a blank

  13. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is Sanchez a bigger Troll than Lukaku

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Never!!!

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I still think calling a player a troll is an excuse for sh*t decision making .

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

        I mean those 2 dodgy goals today was on a level with anything Lukaku has ever done

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I'm just not a fan of the term and I think it's being used as an excuse for every piece of fortune or misfortune . Selling a player before he hits form is a mistake .

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

            I own him but he was so lucky today to get any points he was bloody awful missed a few sitters, handles the ball into the net and got a very fortunate penalty

            On a different day and a different referee he would have had 2 points

            1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I think this is one instance where luck was a factor but the majority of time someone sells Lukaku at the wrong time and says he is a troll rather than thinking I made a mistake . I guess it's the woe is me posts that bug me more than actually calling him a troll

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

            That's purely down to luck isn't it, how on earth could anyone foresee when a player is about to hit form... Of course selling a player before he hits form is a mistake but it's too often down to luck...

            1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              The same people wouldn't be finishing well season on season if there was no skill in fpl . I am not denying luck I just think people are trying to shirk responsibility for their mistakes by blaming players .

        2. E25
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He's the highest scoring player in the league and highest fpl scorer with a ridiculous record vs Hull.
          I think any holder that didn't captain should question decision making, despite his goals being jammy.

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

            I captained Ibra which for me was still the better option the overall performance of Sanchez of late hasn't been good. Should I dare mention that other dodgy penalty against Burnley in the 97th minute which should never have been

            More fortunate than good of late

            1. E25
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Man U spreading the goals around more now. Ibra seems to be playing deeper and deeper when I watch Man U.

              I looked at it as who is more likely to get a big haul... has to be Sanchez surely given he gets extra point for goal and is more of a bonus magnet?!

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez is the most consistent player in the league, apart from Alonso 🙂

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How is Sanchez even in the slighest a troll? Super-consistent, rarely blanks...

      1. E25
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Troll to the silly non-owners maybe 😉

  14. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    2FTs
    Just do Ibra to Costa for next week, then have 2FTs for after the BGW??

    Pickford Grant
    Coleman Pieters Holebas Amat McAuley
    Alli Sanchez Eriksen Phillips Capoue
    Ibra Benteke Lukaku

    1. DaddyPig
      • 9 Years

      Good plan! Solid transfer.

  15. NestorC
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What are owners of Kane, Erik and Alli doing next, after crying under the blanket? Owner btw.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Have Erik and Alli, if there wasn't a BGW, I'd get rid of one.

  16. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    We'll all laugh at people buying Gabbiadini now, but next GW, when Amat starts for Swansea and scores a hattrick and comes off all of the Gabbiadini owners' benches, we'll be in the mire once more.

  18. Strchld

    Smartest move now is to wait which games is blanked gw 28 before using FT, right?

    1. E25
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on team

  19. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Surprised so many are transferring in players from teams like Chelsea and Pool now, ad they'll have a blank soon...

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team. I have 8 for gw28 and might 1 or 2 more. Hazard over Sanchez over next 5weeks makes sense

  20. Pat Bonner

    58(-4) inc baps. Heaton, Alonso, Costa tomorrow. I'll take it. Attacking returns for both Chelsea or a Heaton mega score would help tomorrow then.

    Those McAuley shenanigans are pretty annoying given my three closest ML rivals are all owners...just have to take solace in the fact none of them captained Alexis' hand 🙂

    Why has the Brunt assist not been added on FPL?

      Confirmed as Evans assist.

        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Didn't Evans head the ball to score the goal?

          Headed onto McAuley's head apparently.

            Has anyone posted a clip of the goal on here?

              Yeah, it won't change the decision. Email them.

                It's an outrage.

                  looks like they've made the decision. McAuley must have got the slightest of touches.

      Don't get points for assisting the assister 😉

    Any suggestions appreciated

    Heaton
    Alonso-Brunt-Coleman
    Phillips-Erikson-Antonio-Siggy
    Luka-Ibra-Kane

    Jaku-Stan-Chambers-Holgate
    Only 0.4 ITB

    Should I go Sanchez ---> Hazard and get him back for 29?

    1. Pat Bonner

      Depends on your team but might be worth waiting as lots of games to be played before gw26

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It'll be a popular plan.

    3. E25
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Probably. Might wait until 31

  26. FPL Maldini

    Zlatan,Sanchez and Barnes to...

    Lukaku, Costa and Snodgrass?

  27. Vinyl78LP

    ...with projected baps, 48 all out - shower of sh.te. ML chasers reeling me in, cant face watching remaining games.

    Logging off FPL until cup results known, then as it stands shipping Ibra/Sanchez/Lovren for a Chelsea triple of Alonso/Haz/Costa to rip Swansea apart.

    Guys, I'll do a big post later, which will address the common themes in your Qs.

    Why McAuley got the goal if Evans scored ??? and Brunt had an assist .... watched it billion times .. am I blind ? ))

    1. Pat Bonner

      McAuley has higher ownership so gets the goal

    2. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mark owns McAuley
