Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Liverpool

After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.

All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.

Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.

Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.

Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.

For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.

And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

    seems even more absurd now that mourinho shut up shop and didn't even try to attack v liverpool

    completely ruined their momentum too

      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I know it's an away game but with the way united had been scoring goals liverpool were there for the taking

      Agreed. He is too negative for his own good. No confidence in such a decent united showed its ill effects in HUD match. Bailly and Fellaini looks to be back for spurs game so might go for a 1-0 win

        It's a shame because I think they could be very strong going forwards. It has completely ruined their momentum in my view, they were doing really well up to then.

        Lukaku could have absolutely bullied lovren/matip no doubt. However the shift in formation v liverpool seems to have taken a bit of the zip out of them

        We may see a similar defensive united style over the next 2 at least

    Is a hit required here for next gw or it can pass?
    0FT, 0.5IDb

    Fabianski
    Otamendi, Bavies, Cedric
    Eriksen, Sterling, Matic, TCarroll
    Morata, Lukaku, Kane

    Only thing that I can do is Lukaku to Aguero for -4 but can wait few days.

  3. QueefParkRangers

    Wheres all the Dembele theorists?

    They all trying to think of something else to spout out their asses?

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

      Winks is the new Dembele

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

    Have 2FTs and Coutinho. Should I prioritise bringing in:

    A) Salah
    B) Morata

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

        1. HNI
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          In hindsight do you think salah is better pick than coutinho fpl wise considering he on penalties too?

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Salad is a better pick pens or not

  8. Twisted Saltergater

    2Fts:

    Mkhitaryan & Jones >> Coutinho/ Salah & Gomez?

    Any thoughts?

    1. QueefParkRangers
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Salah yes, wouldn't get Gomez?

      Get a burnley or soton defender?

  14. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years

    Missed the deadline on Friday no Davies or Sterling but had Kane Cap from last week. 61pts all out. Green or red?

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      green

  15. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Hey guys, best striker for next 2 GWs for 10.0m or less? Considering Vardy/Firmino.

    Cheers

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

      Both were poor

      1. john25
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Any other options?

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino just came through Man Utd and Spurs games.
      His next run of games is brilliant.

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

      Vardy your best bet but can't gurantee that's a good bet. Firmino is at risk from Sturridge and in woeful Prem form

  16. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    In your opinion apart from Kane who is the best striker to have pre WC GW12

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

      Kun easily

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

      Kun x1000, bar injury I think these two are season keepers.

  17. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Poch COMPLETELY side stepped the question on why Kane was subbed and just waffled about how well he played. Not a good sign for me

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He probably doesn’t know or the injury is non existent so nothing to elaborate on

    2. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He's fine...chill

    3. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      You sell him.
      I'll keep him

    4. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hamstring usually needs 4-6 weeks

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Lol u wish, Kane will be fine but please transfer him out if u fancy ir

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

        Not if it's a slight pull or cramp. Any tear and yep 3 to 6 weeks

    5. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe he didn't want to admit his star man had cramp/was time wasting

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Probably just a tight hamstring. He'll be fine with a week's rest.

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

      "He's tired, 3 games in one week nothing serious"

      What the hell are smoking? 😕

  18. AYLD28

    Any suggestions chaps, I’m at a loss?

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Otamendi, VVD, Cresswell, Mee, Dunk
    Sterling, Hazard, Chipo, Brady, RLC
    Kane, Jesus, Abraham

    3.6 itb (yes, really) 1FT

    1. Brady > Salah or Coutinho
    2. Abraham + Brady > Firmino + Richarlison (-4)
    3. Something else

  19. cescpistols111

    Lukaku/Wimmer --> Aguero/Kiko Femenia? 2FT, 0.0 ITB.

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

      dispossesions

    4. JJO
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Of course he will get dipossesed when he is trying to do something
      Footbal would be a great game to watch if all players are like Xhaka,Carick,Barry etc

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years

        Oh wait Xhaka doing nothing + plus losing balls

  23. VIRATKOHLI18

    2. QueefParkRangers

    A) Daniels
    B) Francis
    C) Kiko

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

      Daniels is your man. Great fixtures coming up after next week.

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yep. Thinking of Yoshi replacement.

  26. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    No sane person will captain Kane next week

    United have yet to concede at home and let’s fave it Liverpool gifted him his goals this week

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      12m sitting on the bench?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I didn’t say that

        1. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Come on Syd. Deep down you know you meant that.

      2. Fred54

      I might if jones/bailly are still out and crapeloff is going to start again

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Apparently Bailly will be fit for next week

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

      Then I am a crazy man.

    4. PL Ball
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      We really need both Bailey/Jones back for this game, or atleast one of them. Otherwise Spurs will probably score.. with Lindelof gifting them goals.

  27. Winks Club
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with Cresswell?

    1. QueefParkRangers

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
