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.

      Have WC left, planning on using it GW 12... might dump Lukaku for Kun as don’t lose much value and can get him back in...

      Don’t have much faith in the price rising sites so not sure if Kun is looking to rise..

      Thoughts?

      1. CloudSky

        Hes rising at least once this week.

            Lukaku looks like he is going to drop and Kun rise on FFF

            1. CloudSky
              • 7 Years

              Sorry for the late answer but both should survive tonight as per fplstats.

        Looks like a good move right now but things could look diffrent come gw12 a week is a long time in fpl not to mind 3.

        I am also eyeing gw12 for the wc.

          Having two city mid is making me more confused..thought of ritchie>richardli. Then again my defense need some fixing...

      When do we know more about Jones injury? Is there any probability that he plays next week?

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

        He was spotted leaving the stadium without crutches, no limping either, fingers crossed he might be fine for the spurs game

    8. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Done my transfers already this week because im inpatient, heres my etam for enxt weekend:
      Speroni
      Kola - Maguire - Ota
      Rich - Sterling - Mahrez - Gross - Salah
      Kane(V) - Kun(C)
      Taken a -8 🙂

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

        Mahrez, jeez

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Mahrez is the secret weapon, so much so in fact I wont take him out till he blanks at least twice

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

            Lol, i guarantee you, you will take him out if Coutinho braces next week.

            1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              lol well that is my plan double up on pool with salah and Couts but not doing it until Mahrez stops and Liverpool prove a double up is worth it. Not convinced after today

              1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 5 months ago

                If Vardy could put away sitters Mahrez would be one of the highest scoring mids for points from his assists but Vardy has wasted many chances. Are people watching Leicester games? He looks really good..

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

        A -8 and playing Speroni... Recipe for disaster 😉

        Nah jk it looks pretty solid to me. Hope you have a bench just in case of extreme Pep

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I have Eliot as well, jsut giving Speroni a chance because he is as at home and its against Wham. But Eliot might sneak back in by the deadline. I have Duffy on the bench so if any no shows he will probably come on with a cs

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

            Fair enough 🙂

      3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        what's the -8?

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

          Didn't ask in case I didn't like it and it's too late now!

        2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          to shift from 343 to 352

      4. Magic Bean
        • 8 Years

        Risky. Need to see the mid week games. Good luck though.

    9. sboj
      • 9 Years

      morata aguero in for lukaku jesus for -4 - yay or nay? thanks guys!

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

        Yay actually

      2. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yay, morata aguero kane is the way forward

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

          yea I have Kane

          the team looks like this
          DDG
          Trip Alonso Lascelle Naughton Rosenior
          Sane Choupu-Moting Ritchie Brady Loftus-Cheek
          Kane Jesus Lukaku

          the mid seems very cheap but those lads have some nice upcoming fixtures and they could get me some returns should be good value in the short term

          im considering dropping alonso but i dont crave the cash atm due to cheap mids and the upcoming fixtures seem promising

          i dont like getting rid of lukaku but morata seems like such a nice value pick with good fixtures coming up

      3. bojack
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Wait until after the League Cup at least. Probably not for me, though.

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

          yea i will wait for sure the 0.1 price increases/drops are not that much of a factor for this move - i just dont like having jesus 10.7mil striker that is very rotation prone

    10. MFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      What should I do with my team?

      Pope (Elliot)
      Alonso Otamendi Cedric (Simpson Ward)
      Salah Silva Richarlison Choupo-Moting (Carrick)
      Kane Jesus Vardy
      0.1ITB 2FT

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

        alonso is questionable chelski seem to leak a lot but have a very nice stretch of fixtures coming up the money could be moved to upgrading vardy or jesus to aguero

        with aguero back i would move on from jesus he seems to be too much of a rotation risk he is 20y/o and pep wont put that much physical pressure on him imo

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

        Lean back and relax. Save it for sure!

    11. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Finally broke the 500K mark, onwards and upwards

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

      Is Trippier nailed on? Him or Monreal?

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Monreal

      2. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        monreal

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

      Despite bring ranked poorish 339K I just realised that top10K is just 50 points away.

      Few captaincy success and I'll reach it 🙂

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

        That is the spirit kid. 😉

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

        I'm somehow in the top 50k despite my captaincies being extremely lackluster all season. Defense has been extremely clutch for me this season lol

      3. bojack
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Aye there's a long old way to go.

        I'm languishing at 860k despite having about 50 points more than I had at this time last year when I was much higher in rank.

    14. The real slim shady
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Richa or Zaha?

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

        Richarlison

      2. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Lison

    15. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      How do we expect City to do against WBA? WBA is often a tricky fixture even for top sides, but City has been very consistent against WBA, having won 11! times in a row in the PL against WBA so far

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I think they will do well, it's just guessing who pep will play which is the problem

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

          Same, but I don't feel comfortable captaining any of them due to Pep's teamsheets. Might just go with Aguero to ward off the swarm of my ML rivals (and FPL in general) who are captaining him too, as he can easily cause a lot of damage :/

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

        WBA with a lot of injuries at the back. Im expecting a comfortable win

      3. bojack
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        It'll be a case where City have 70%+ possession as Albion have very little outlet and Pulis will field three or even four centre halves (last year he played Evans in midfield in this fixture).

        Damage limitation from the baseball capped one. I predict 3-0 to City minimum, if not more.

        I'll be fairly near Pep during the game if anyone wants a message passed on?

    16. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Silva or sterling out to Salah ?

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling because Silva's more nailed.

      2. SC not pearls before swine
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I like Sterling slightly more. I think at his age, even Silva will get rotated occasionally (Just me guessing) and his upside isn't as high as Sterling

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

      Bottomed.

      What to do with Davies? Already used my FT getting rid of Cresswell and cab't get Otamendi in without 2 transfers as I already have 3 city players

    18. MGD
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      How long will Jones be it out for?

      And it's time to get rid of Bavies, yes?

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

      Worth -4?

      Jesus, Gross, Davies to Kun, Richarlison and Trippier

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years

        No

      2. Snikii

        why would you get gross out? just the other 2

    21. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years

      People understand Otamendi wont get 15 points every week, right?

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

        Wuuuut?!

      2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years

        yea maybe 17+ some weeks

      3. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        he might vs WBA, has quite good stats for headed attempts, and until Kompany comes back they'll always aim at him from set pieces

    22. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      The whole world wants to know what to do with Bavies & Jones. Can someone help please?

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

        Sell one and keep the other with a good bench option?

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

        Wait, what's happened to Jones?

    23. LIARS POKER

          6 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks. Gutted I can't reach to Surman.

          Well, not -too- gutted, but a nice differential.

    25. Pea Soup
      • 12 Years

      A) Aguero, Salah & Monreal
      B) Lukaku, Silva & Otamendi
      C) Mixture of the two (please specify)

      I have Sane so obviously can’t have four City...

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

          Peps already said he will give Aguero minutes in that game I think?

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            To clarify exactly what Pep said. Because Aguero has equaleld Citys goal scoring record they asked Pep when he would break it to which Pep replied probably playign Wolves or agasint West Brom. So it isnt a guarantee of Kun playign Brom but probably

      Jones, Davies, Otimendi, Ward
      Erikson, Silva, Coutinho
      Kane, Jesus, Vardy

      Fabianski, Memba, Cork, Stephens

      Vardy and Davies need to go. The transfer in thinking atm is Vardy & Erikson to Morata & Richarlison.

      A ) is that a good transfer? Y/N
      B ) who is the best straight swap for davies? (5.6) & is it worth -4?

        good team, really it's just a choice of keeping faith in hazard, or moving him to salah and spending the change
        personally I think morata and hazard is too much, Liverpool have some good fixtures coming up, having both salah and morata seems better to me - BUT - you'd be perfectly justified in saving

      few questions:

      1 - BAVIES - got to go? are all the spurs wing backs the equivalent of the city forwards? rotated all year long?
      2 - JONES - keep for a few weeks? if so going to have to either upgrade mbemba or play RLC/Carrol until then
      3 - VARDY - are him and firmino both not worth it? do we either upgrade to morata-type or drop to budget option scoring the same amount of points?
      4 - LUKAKU - just gets enough points not to get booted, at least you can count on him starting every week and playing 90, is that a good enough reason to avoid a swap to city fwd?
