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

        Ota Jones Naughton Ward Hunem

    • Pea Soup

      Mee or Otamendi?

        • 6 Years

        Obviously Otamendi, but they tick differen boxes in your defence, surely? Team for context?

        1. Pea Soup
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I’m downgrading Alonso and upgrading Atsu to Richarlison so I have a choice of defenders...

          Foster Elliot
          Jones Alonso Lowe Naughton Hegazi
          Silva Sane Eriksen Atsu RLC
          Abraham Lukaku Kane

      2. Sweetboi

        Depends on what you do with the spare cash.

        1. Pea Soup
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Keep some for a rainy day and upgrade Atsu to Richarlison

      G2G chaps? If Jones injured, will play Carroll and swap Jones to Daniels next GW.

      Fabianski
      Naughton - Cedric - Maguire - Jones
      Richarlison - Sterling - Salah
      Kane - Lukaku - Aguero

      Subs: Elliot - Carroll - Mbemba - Chalobah

        Elliot over Fabianski and wouldn't play Naughton either.

      I can't seem to let go of Alonso, every week I tell myself I will regret it when I sell him and he gets a haul, long term fixtures look really good too, probably gonna be a season keeper for me.

    • Tim Canterbury

      Absolutely all over the place atm.
      Is there more to the Kane injury?
      Captaining Salah too maverick?
      Which 3 city players to go for
      Are there actually any defenders out there?
      To Hazard or not to Hazard
      Keep Lukaku?
      Wc?
      So much to discuss

      1. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Salah is going to be a popular captain next week.

        If you can afford KDB. Worth considering due to his more nailed minutes.

        Rather have Morata.

        Get rid of Lukaku.

      Did take out Kane for Kun so made a mistake. But oh well, Kane always does well when I don't have him it seems. Ill get him back in for Leicester away but I'm really surprised as to how bad Liverpool were.

    • ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Which one to bring in?
      A Richarlison - gives more funds itb for upgrading Vardy next week
      B Sane - More city = more points (already have Aguero & Sterling)
      C Salah - Good fixtures, I already have Coutinho.

      Cant believe Jonty, had Sterling Captain ends up with Kane points being his vice captain. Mark had Kane captain.
      Mooy points stayed routed on my bench thanks to Loftus Cheek coming on late. Lukaku was my captain with his usual let down.

        Sterling if any. I would go for it if you have Jesus or kun up top
