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.

    Can't decide who to get, Vardy or Firmino

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Neither is my advice

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

        £9.8 itb to spend on a forward. Any other candidate?

        1. Your Man With The Hair
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Stretch to Morata?

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

            Plan is this –4:
            Eriksen > Richarlison
            Lukaku > Aguero
            JRod > Vardy/Firmino

            Strech to Morata means –8 with Jones > 4.9 (maybe Daniels)

    2. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino all day.

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

      dont like any. Currently own Vardy

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino between those 2

    5. KingoftheRunts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino is the game's biggest troll. Save yourself the pain and stretch to Morata or Lacazette

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

        Worth –8?

        Eriksen > Richarlison
        Lukaku > Aguero
        JRod > Morata
        Jones > Daniels

    Elliot krul
    Davies Stones Wimmer ward mbemba
    Coutinho D.Silva Richarlison choupo RLC

    Any Brighton fans able to shed some light on whether Hunemeier or Goldson is the preferred backup for Duffy/Dunk?

    Just putting the WC puzzle pieces together.

  5. Dreaming of glory

    So you stay in lms if u got the avg?

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Should do

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      39 looks safe.
      It gets trickier in 2018.

      1. Dreaming of glory
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        39? I thought it was the overall average on official ff. Is it just the avg of those who are in the lms league?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Average is 55, it's bottom 7% this week after hits.

  6. TerryVenables
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Ward worth the extra 0.2 over Mee?

    1. Scout Pics
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  7. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who will be the next manager to go?

    Koeman
    Bilic
    Hughes
    Klopp

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Bilic

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Koeman

    3. Scout Pics

      Koeman

    4. Captain Haddock

      6 years, 5 months ago

      Biman

    5. LǝgleSs e|even

      Conte

    6. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I wish it was Bilic, won't be though. Probably Koeman or Hughes

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

      Every time this question is asked another name appears on the list 😀

      Hope Klopp stays otherwise I'll need a new team name and user name 😛

    8. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      West Ham fixtures look bad so i recon Bilic will be the first of that lot.

  8. AlCapwnUK

    2ft, at least 3 transfers I'm keen to make....thoughts

    Team

    Elliott, Foster
    Bellerin, Bavies, Cedric, Naughton, Clark
    Salah, Silva, Milkhi, Choupo, King
    Kane, Lukaku, Hemed

    a) Bavies has to go right?
    - thinking Otamendi for now, maybe back to Jones/Vert/Toby in the future

    b) Mikhi was a straight swap for Pogba following his injury, regretted it since then
    - Thinking Ozil / Coutinho / Richarlison / Mahrez

    c) Lukaku - not been captaincy material for a couple weeks, and won't for a couple more
    - Morata is my gut instinct; but Jesus/Aguero also. Lacazette?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Otamendi, Richarlison and Aguero.

    What do I do, 2FT, 0ITB and worried about Jesus, Sterling and Davies. Ty guys

    Eliott, Forster
    Azpi, Davies, Otamendi, Mee, Rangel
    Coutinho, Choupo,

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      lost the second half of your team.

      i'm also considering dropping Davies, potentially to Otamendi

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry, see below

  10. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Whom should i substitute Jones for?

    My backline:

    Ota Jones Naughton Ward Hunem

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Cedric?

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

    Any decent striker options for under £8m or should I stick to Abraham and 4-4-2.

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Stick

    2. foley200
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Tammy about the best atm. Have a look at Hemed if he’s back or Murray. Brighton doing ok.

      1. Pea Soup
        • 12 Years

    What do I do, 2FT, 0ITB and worried about Jesus, Sterling and Davies. Ty guys

    Eliott, Forster
    Azpi, Davies, Otamendi, Mee, Rangel
    Coutinho, Choupo, Groß, Sterling, RLC
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy
    Cheers

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years

      Davies priority - too much rotation

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Team looks decent, Davies looks priority to lose

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Is Trippier nailed on?

  13. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any transfer(s) suggestions?

    Pope - Elliot
    Alonso - Davies - Otamendi - Cedric - Mbemba
    Coutinho - Sterling - Richarlison - Choupo-Moting - RLC
    Kane - G.Jesus - Vardy

    2 FTs
    bank: 0.0

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

    Bottomed

    Silva or Sterling for Salah(C)?

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling

    2. foley200
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I’m looking at the same move. Can’t decide which one to ditch. I know pep will burn me either way

      1. DAVESAVES
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Im thinking Silva for nailedness or Sterling for less minutes but more explosive...

  15. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    If you were to finish in one millionth position every GW, where do you reckon you finish at the end of GW38?
    I'm guessing top twenty thousand.

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      at least top 100k

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You'd win FPL if no hits.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        That well? Find it difficult to believe.

          It's a big green arrow every week.
          https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/entry/44937/history is a guide and I've had a few shockers.

          1. Monkey Hanger
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            I had seven consecutive greens up until GW8. Currently 206k. Mind you I was 3.3mil GW1, then my red in GW8 was a belter, almost 4.7mil.

      2. alastair
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think that's borne out by analysis of past winners - but of course an absence of hits is usually a reflection of initial decisions being good which leads to strong performance

    3. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years

    Will Jesus fall twice this week? I see that he's slated to fall tomorrow.

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He won’t fall tomorrow will he? He’s only on -10%

  17. foley200
    • 6 Years

    Any word on Harry? He clutching his hamstring I believe

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

      he’s fine

      congratulations

  19. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    absolutely stuck with what to do this week.

    pope, Elliot
    bavies, jones, stones, ward, mbemba
    sterling, silva, coutinho, RLC, Carrol
    kaku, kane, vardy

    2ft 0.0itb

    so do I spend the 2 ft:

    1 - downgrade Davies, upgrade mbemba and keep jones until he's back?
    2 - Change both Davies and jones?
    3 - use one FT to take out another questionable player e.g. lukaku or Kane

    before this gw my transfers were going to be around thinking of getting aguero in for lukaku but now I've other problems, and arguably seeing all the rotations at city kind of think lukaku might get a stay of execution as at leat he's nailed every game

    tl:dr - know idea where to change please help

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

      Wait and see on Jones. If it doesn't look like long then 1. Otherwise 2. Wouldn't lose Kane!

  20. hjalmarekdal
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    A) Sane or Silva?
    B) Best 4.4 def? Francis, Duffy, Cameron etc...

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

    Your task is simple...

    You have £11.4m to spend on any two defenders... who do you pick??

    1. hjalmarekdal
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Walker + Mee
      Otamendi + Jones

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      otamendi and VVD

  22. KingoftheRunts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    aguero nailed on for west brom?

    Worth ditching sterling?

  23. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Repost for a few more opinions:
    A)Davies + Jesus
    B) Kiko + aguero

    1. hjalmarekdal
      • 7 Years

      A are u kidding me?
      B every day

      lol

      A has to be a wind up

  24. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Bavies owners keeping or selling?.

    5.9m for a defender who doesnt start regularly is not worth it imo.

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sold him on Friday, no regrets

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Tempted to keep. Have other problem areas aswell. Otamendi the obvious route but he rarely gets attacking returns.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        will he start vs man united?
