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

    Alonso>Otamendi a no brainer atm?

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

      Maybe

        I dont want another Bavies in my team

    3. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I made that move

  2. liiusions

    Would you ditch Lukaku or Jesus for Aguero? I suppose what I'm asking is will Jesus and Aguero start together... Which not even Pep can answer

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

      Kun and Jesus were playing together before ribgate. What are you on about?

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

        I think they will start rotating more for striker spot tbh, and I think Aguero will get most minutes and preferential minutes.

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

          preferential position, you wont ever get Kun on the wing for example

          1. AYLD28
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            I think Jesus comes back in next match alongside Aguero personally

  3. goriuanx

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Elliot
    Otamendi Jones Mee
    Salah Sterling Richarlison RLC
    Kane Aguero Lukaku

    Speroni Daniels 4.5m 4m

    Suppose I've got the big 3 and covered some highly owned players. Daniels has great fixtures after next week so could be a decent pick.

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

      Do you not think Lukaku over Kane is wrong?

      1. ol3andre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Kane - Lukaku - Aguero ??

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

          I’ve had too many shandies clearly

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

        yes for sure

    2. ol3andre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Looks great. Jealous.

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

      wouldnt have lukaku on WC with tot and che next.

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

        Should have Luka if on WC, why waste a transfer in 2 weeks time... 😮

    4. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Very decent WC. Wish I could afford... looking to WC GW12 to something similar

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I was gonna do the same but sold Kane and have an awful backline

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

      Bit weak midfield with 2 cheap mids

    6. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good. I would hate to rely on RLC though

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Only playing him this week. Daniels after that

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers. Looks decent then. Similar to what I'm doing

    7. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Basically my team right now so yeah 😉

    8. Turns
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Solid

    9. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Choose one of Agüero or Lukaku, and go with Morata or Lascelles if you want to go big up top

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

      Don't like Speroni. Why not Elliot - Pope and get Duffy and Naughton as a rotating pair?

  4. skriniar
    • 6 Years

    Mhyki >>>> ?? 0.2 Itb

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

      Silva/Sterling/Sane

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

        got Silva

  5. Gaz_b
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What a terrible few GW’s I’ve had... topped off with selling Kane and Alli this week for Aguero and Sterling,

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

      Kane is a season keeper. Just stick the armband on him and take the blanks on the chin.

  6. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Repost, 1FT, so many players barely played..

    Eliot, Krul
    Kola, Davies*, Jones*, Naughton (ars), Gamez*
    Sanchez, Sterling*, Atsu, RLC, Carroll
    Kane, Morata, Jesus*

    A) Davies -> Otamendi
    B) Davies + Jones -> Otamendi + Ward
    C) Davies + Sterling -> Ward + Salah
    D) Davies + Jesus -> Ward + Aguero
    E) Other?

    Guessing defence is so bad I should hold Sterling and Jesus even though I really want Salah/Aguero...

  7. Angin out the Begović
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone thinking Sanchez ?

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not yet for me personally because Everton are crap so I’m not sure you can read much into this.

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

      Sure , 1 week punt

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

      No, would cap him over Kane or Kun so therefore not worth 12m, especially when funds are so tight

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

        wouldn't*

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Already own him....
      Captained today and will keep the armband v Swansea.

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

        Just too expensive with other better options i.e. Salah, Sterling, Salah, Silva, Coutinho, Eriksen etc.

        1. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Have a mid of Sanchez, Hazard, Silva and Choupo...
          Not too shabby.... 😉

  8. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Team A with no hit or Team B with -8. Which would you rather have?

    Team A
    Pope
    Azpilicueta Davies Ward
    Sterling Choupo-Moting D Silva Richarlison
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    Elliot Cedric RLC Fernandez

    Team B
    Pope
    Cedric Duffy Otamendi
    Salah Sterling Choupo-Moting Richarlison
    Kane Aguero Morata

    Elliot Ward RLC Fernandez

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Team B better on paper

  9. john25

    Hey guys, any chance Lukaku dropping tonight?

    Cheers

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

      Quite impossible

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

        Really? Looks like he's been going down fast.

    2. Bring the Cavalry
      • 7 Years

      Nope

  10. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ellliot
    Cedric Jones Bavies
    Sterling Silva Hazard Atsu
    Jesus Kane Vardy

    Foster Naughton T.Carrol Mbemba

    1ft 0.2 itb

    Jones/Silva > 4.5m def/Salah?

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

      If worried by Bavies minutes too, could do Sterling/Bavies -> Salah/4.5m. As Silva more nailed than Sterling

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

    Speroni first choice now?

  12. puhd
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What happened to Kane? Looks serious?

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

      Nah,he's fine

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

        Thanks

    2. Squashed
      • 7 Years

      Soon to be double amputee

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

      yes, serious for united defence. He's fine

    4. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Just tired apparently

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

      Tired after the Madrid game... nice rest this week fresh for Utd

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

      Serious for non owners.

  13. Teoninja
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Salah or Coutinho?
    Richarlison or Zaha?

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

      Coutinho and Zaha

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

        I was going to buy them, but then Salah dropped and scored, while Richarlison had lots of goal attempts and bonus with Chelsea and Arsenal. Why do you think I shouldn't change my mind?

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Salah and Rich

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

        Yes, but Richarlison has bad fixtures and Zaha is playing as a CF. Do you think Salah is going to be better than Cou with and without Mané?

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

      Salah and Rich

    4. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Salah and Richarlison for me

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

      Couts Rich

      SalaD is crappy

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

        Salah, Coutinho and Richarlison.

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

    Any thoughts on this?

    Elliot / Fabianski
    Kola Maguire Ward / Davies* Wimmer*
    Salah D.Silva Ritchie RLC* / Chalobah*
    Kane Jesus* Morata

    1FT, 0.1 ITB

    Thanks 🙂

  15. FPL_Sponge

    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Missed the Chelsea game last night, how bad was Morata?

    Looking to get in for Lukaku for next 2 fixtures before WC. Downgrade means I can afford Salah

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

      Chelsea was terrible not only Morata

  16. Sims
    • 7 Years

    d. any ideas?

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

    Just realised the scout team is a disaster

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      So what else is new.

    2. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      And I had about 8 of them

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

    Who to lose first? Alonso or Davies?

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

      same problem, I have 2 FTs though

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking about replacing Davies with Marcos

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Don’t do it. He looks woeful this season as an owner and a Chelsea fan. Have ditched for Otamendi

  20. HALFSPACE
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    bonus added

    man them 32 pts look good

  21. Paul
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Worth getting in Coutinho??... did not get to watch match

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

      he wouldve scored if not for that meddling Lloris and the crossbar

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

      didn't play centre so questionable

  22. Patch
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    First time I have had 2 players not play...does it mean both my first and second choice points come thru?

    Or is it just one of the players who didn't play get points from whichever sub racked up some points starting 1-3

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      depends on formation that you played. 3 at the back then everything else goes

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

      You get your first and second choice subs.

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

        Sweet thanks should be above 60+ pointd then

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

    Hazard and Ladapo TO Richarli and Diouf for free?
    Rest of front 8 are Salah, Silva, Sterling, Tarroll, Kane, Vardy.

  24. Zlat-man
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kola to Ota/Walker?

    And would move out Alli? For a pool milf

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

      Keep Kola for Swansea?

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

      Yes do that, so Kola can score, you're the one jinxing him.

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

    My defence is an utter shambles

    Davies Jones naughton hegazi mbemba

    Don't know where to begin

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

      I'd get rid of Davies first.People are saying Jones could be back soon.

  26. hnmfm
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    ty based Kane and Salah, saved my GW, weeeew lads.

  27. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Eriksen to Salah this week followed by Mahrez to Eriksen next week makes sense?

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

      Yes

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

    Davies, Jones, Clark, Ward, Rosenoir

    Plan: Clark to Duffy for a hit this gw, Rosenoir to a 4.5m def next gw, praying Fernandez doesn't rise, which he shouldn't do if Arsenal do their job

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

      Look good or any changes you'd make to the plan?

  29. GalacticosFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kane + Diouf in for Vardy + Morata

    Should I hold for one more week or go for the -4?

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

    I'll get it straight

    What to do with Ben Davies !??

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

      Ben Dover

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

      Straight out of the team

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not easy

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

      Keeping as I have other fires to put out, I'll see if he plays next gw

    5. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Bavies, Jones, City mids, Jesus or Aguero, Lukaku etc.. etc.
      Really hard to guess what to do.

      I would sell Bavies if I owned. Glad that I sold on WC.
