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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Evening all. 2 questions would appreciate your opinions?

    A) Best 4.5 defender (Need to replace Mbemba)

    B) Is Lukaku out Aguero in worth a -4? Or hold?

    Thanks all

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

      I’m looking at Duffy and Lowton.

      Most might say yes, but Lukaku’s fixtures take a turn for better in week 12. Hard to say without rest of your team.

  2. HALFSPACE

    6 years, 6 months ago

    whisper it but Kane is one of my captain options next week

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

      If Bailly is fit there is going to be another Mou "masterclass" probably.

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

      Me too....but United not conceded at old Trafford

      Also looking at salah.

      And jesus depending on city team midweek....

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      nonsence, united defence solid as a rock. You didn't see them v huddersfield?

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

        Well I guess a lot depends on who is fit.

        If it looks like lindelof is fit Kane is an even better captain option.

        But reckon reasonable chance Jones or Bailly back

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

    2ft and 0.9itb.....

    Thinking hazard and bavies to salah and ota....how does that sound?

    Fab Elliot
    Luiz bavies Jones ward wimmer
    Hazard Silva richarlison rlc carroll
    Kane jesus vardy

    Thanks

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      What about Jones? Benching?

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

        Yes...and will replace with Daniels the week after....

  4. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Best option here?

    Vardy, Jones, Bavies ->

    A) Morata, Femina, Duffy
    B) Morata, Fermina, Gomez

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

      A

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

      A, don't get any Liverpool defenders

  5. Jimmy6446
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    How do I get Richarlison and Salah into my team? Currently have 2FT and 0.1itb.

    Elliot // Pope
    Davies Maguire Otamendi Alonso
    Sterling Gross Eriksen // RLC King
    Vardy Kane Lukaku

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

      Downgrade lulaku

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Or that yeah

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Take a hit to downgrade Alonso, then get rid of Eriksen and Gross

      Not sure Id do it though

      Gross is good value

      1. Jimmy6446
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I'd find it hard to lose Eriksen/Gross.

        How about for a -4:

        Alonso, King, Sterling -> Marriapa, Rich, Salah?

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          No. Mariappa won't keep starting when Prodl come back.

  6. Hardly Athletic
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Davies > Duffy
    Chalobah > Salah
    Eriksen > Richarlison

    Worth a 4 point hit?

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

      I think yes

  7. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What do we make of the Ben Davies situation?
    To think I did Trippier -> Davies on my WC a few weeks back, because I was worried about Trippier's game time!

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

      All four Spurs full backs will rotate over the season.
      If you want one of them, make sure you have a strong bench.
      No Mbemba and Hunemeier

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

      Think it's time to get rid...

      So much competition.. .not only rose but aurier can also play there

      For that money I want a nailed defender....ill prob replace with ota

  8. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Bought Sterling in for Ramsey this week. Epic fail.

    Currently on my WC....am I right to keep Sterling or switch up?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Tough one, I'd keep.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Leaning towards keeping

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably swap with Sane if on a WC, the lad is on fire at the moment.

      1. ☆Khaz
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Isn't he next in line for a match on the bench?

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          He's already had 3 games where he made

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

    Eliot //Taylor
    Alonso*, Kolasinac*, Davies* //Mbemba, Cuco Martina
    Richarlison, Jese*, Coutinho, Alli, Sterling
    Kane, Morata // Hamed
    I'm keeping Kolasinac for Swansea, but dont know what to do with 2 FTs?

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

                is that a yes?

                sorry it feels like a yes but not sure, half of my changes are within the same teams, like alonso azpili, davies trippier, silva sane, etc etc thats why im not sure

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

          I'd wc that team tbh

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Bilic is trying to cut short his own torment ?

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

      If a player is fit and isn't playing then he is dropped

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

    damn 0.3 short for the best fantasy team in the world

  14. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku > Aguero for free.

    Yes or no?

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

      Wait for Wolves

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'm considering this too.

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

      wait till mid week

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

      yes after Wolves, im not saying Lukaku will be a complete turd. But Aguero is way more explsoive and all of City compared to how Man U play or Lukuka

  15. Kante FC
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Fabianski, Foster
    Mee, Dunk, Zanka, Lascelles, Simpson
    Eriksen, D. Silva, Sane, Sterling, T. Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Abraham

    Save the free transfer or bring in someone to captain next week as nobody above stands out as an obvious pick?

  16. ooooo

  17. Kno
    • 13 Years

    Van Dijk worth the extra over cedric/yosh if I want a southampton defender?

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years

      fixtures change soon not worth long term

    2. ooooo
      • 6 Years

      No

    3. Speédy

    4. TorresMagic™

      Richarlison

    2. Squashed

    3. PlayPercentage

      Doucoure + 1.0

  19. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Always captain Kane?

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

      Unless he is injured or suspended.

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hey Virg. Congrats on Sanchez. Did you captain him?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        No 🙁

        Captained Hazard.

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Ah well, at least he got something. No worse off than Lukaku cappers like myself and better off than jesus ones. Don't think I'll be putting armband on Harry vs united but don't know who I will go for instead

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No plenty of options for hauls in the Man City team

  20. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Davies owner, what is your plan ?

    Keep or replace?
    If replace, who will be your potential replacement?

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

      My def consist of
      Bavis clark jones ward mbemba. And no wc. May the lord bless my soul

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Miss AOA?

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

          Not a bit

    2. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sold him. Now part of a 3 way rotation with Aurier and Rose.

  21. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Surprised at the free pass that Klopp gets when compared to the likes of Wenger, Jose etc

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

      i know he tried to sign vvd but did he really have no back up in case they failed to do so. ridiculous management

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

        Liverpool need far more then VVD to fix them

      2. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        What about gk and defensive mid.
        35m on dross like Ox that too in his last year of contract!
        Could have spent that money on a top class cb or a proven St.

  22. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I did an ambitious -12 hit for 4 changes
    Jesus 1 to MORATA 1
    Kane (c) 32 to KUN (c) 14
    Lacazette 6 to CHICHA 1
    Carrick 0 to STERLING 0 *autosub RLC 1*

    Total of 23 from other 7 players :-
    Fabianski 2
    Davies 0 *autosub Lascelles 6*
    Kola 1
    Fernandez -1
    Silva 3
    Salah 7
    Richarlison 5

    35 points worse off from 4 hits....

    If I didnt change anything - 63 points
    Because i did change things - 28 points.

    OUCH!

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane out was your only big mistake though.

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        That's why I thought it was worth the hits overall. i believed in Morata too much.

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      and I commented that you'd want to do the reverse transfers next week 😉

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        That you did Snazzy lol

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

      If your thought to get rid of Kane, do you think you would have captained him, had you kept him?

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

        This

      2. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        You're probably right, even so I still would have had 22 more points with captaining someone else.

  23. arndff_
    • 12 Years

    Will Morata be essential again?

    1. TorresMagic™

  24. VIRATKOHLI18

    Choupu to Richarlson for free?

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

      yep

  25. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Got scores in the thirties over the last two weeks having taken my two first hits of the season.

    I feel I’ve been pretty unlucky to be fair. Thought taking Kane and Firmino out for Morata and Kun would’ve made sense but obviously not.

    Will try and resist rage wildcarding tonight. Would you WC with this team?

    Foster Elliot
    Alonso Kola Davies TAA Suttner
    Salah Sterling Ritchie Brady Carroll
    Kun Morata Vardy

    Team value is also incredibly low!

  26. hjalmarekdal
    • 7 Years
