Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Liverpool

After just four goals in the afternoon matches, we could feasibly beat that in the final kick-off as West Ham host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Having won this game 4-0 last season, the Reds will be heavily fancied to run out victors again, particularly after the revelation that Sadio Mane is fit to return to their starting XI.

The Senegalese gets the nod, with Daniel Sturridge dropping out of Liverpool’s front three to make way. Elsewhere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earns a first Premier League start in midfield.

However, it’s fair to say that the main focus will be on Mohamed Salah who goes into this contest with five goals from his ten Gameweeks, backed by almost two million owners and with 250,000+ trusting him with the captaincy.

West Ham’s Fantasy assets have long been in decline. Chicharito remains by far their most popular asset, figuring in 13.1% of squads, though he has lost 384,000 owners in the last four Gameweeks.

With injuries and suspensions at the back, it’s expected that they will struggle to repel Jurgen Klopp’s charges.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Salah Ward 🙂
    Elliot over Pope 🙁

    Is it time to consider a Burnley defensive triple up...

    1. CFC96
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldnt

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

      Double is fine.

      You have a great keeper combo.

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

      I would wait until the Everton job has been sorted.

  2. Greenbackbøøg…

    At this point I'd be really disappointed if Davies and Kane started and I own them both

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I have Salah (vc), but still want Kane to start because waiting for his inevitable 1-point cameo would be excruciating.

        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Makes no sense... Kane could score 2 goals tomorrow and you'll have even more points. He's also owned by under 30% of managers still.

    Cedric going down in price tonight. If you had 2 FT would you go ahead with cedric>jones tonight ?.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      yup

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      Yes

    4. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah. I might do Cedric to Daniels tonight with 2FT

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        That's my transfer. Doing Cresswell to Jones also but after Internationals.

    5. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No - he might get injured! Wait until nearer the time.

  4. FootballFanatic365

    surely a blank incoming as i've (C) him

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane i meant

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 7 Years

        I hope not.

  5. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    37 with (K)ane, Sterling, Aguero and Silva to go. 60+ points?

    1. GS456
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Should be mate

    2. CFC96
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Potentially, if kane doesnt blank, sterling and aguero actually start and arsenal arent a mess as usual

      1. CFC96
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        are a mess*

  6. GS456
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    wow, that was actually upsetting to watch with no Salah. He’s coming in 100% this week.

    Don’t know how I’ve got away with it for so long until now.

    Jesus downgrade and Ritchie to him seems a no brainer in a few weeks time

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

  7. Melania
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Who are WHU going to bring in then?

    1. Deano
      • 11 Years

      BFS

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA

  8. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years

  9. Greko82
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Changed the captaincy from Salah to Kane last minute. Let’s hope for a brace tomorrow!

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A lot of people did! Hey ho its still points and was the right decision to make.....at the time!

  10. GS456
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Please no sterling or Jesus cameos tomorrow so I can at least get Ben mees bench points...

    Start or nothing please pep

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Salah just like Kane a season keeper for me.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      been in my team from the start

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

      And another decent captain choice.....

    3. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Are Mignolet & Karius injured then? 😉

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any of these moves to anyone's fancy, looking for a second opinion as I'm currently in favour of A

    A) Fabianski to Pope
    B) Fabianski to Begovic
    C) Romeu to RLC
    D) Fabianski and Azpi to DDG + Daniels -4

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

      A

  14. S.Kuqi

    That Bournemouth goal still hurts 🙁

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm still bleeding over it.

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

      Had Elliot, Aké and Lascelles playing...

      Well Aké in the BAPS with good fixtures moving forward, and Salah to score big. 7 to go. If just Lascelles was injured 5 minutes later it would all have been great

  15. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Sphinx I'll captain Salah next week.

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

      *sells Salah*

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      *Switches captaincy back to Aguero* 😉

    3. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I was so very close.

      Everybody is gonna think it's the weed. 🙁

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

    What's the fuss with Daniels ?
    Bournemouth aren't exactly known for clean sheets!

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

      Cheapish, attacking and good fixtures

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Certainly a decent option with his attacking threat

  17. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Cedric to who? Have Maguire, Jones, Mee and Schindler

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

      Daniels

    2. We Will Klopp you

  18. Greko82

    What are your thoughts on Firminio? Amazing schedule. He is my 3d choice striker currently. Shall I do
    Firminio - Jesus -> Abraham Lukaku
    Or
    Walker -Jesus -> Lukaku Dunk

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

      Firmino and Jesus -> Abraham and Lukaku Sounds good

  19. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    24 inc BPS which sounds good until you realise that 3 of my remaining 6 players are City which means they may not even start and another is Kane who may not even play. I hate this game.

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing to worry about there.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero, Jesus and Sterling. You'd think at least one would start? I'd actually prefer it if Kane didn't start now. I have Salah as my VC

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not a chance Kane won’t start if fit

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I think so too but there is always the risk

    3. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Why isnt Kane going to play?

      And City have a fantastic fixture.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Might not want to risk him against Palace

        They do yes. And a very large squad that is annoyingly frequently rotated

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

    WC - Yes or No? 🙂

    (want Azpi, Salah, Lukaku..)

    (2FT, 1.0 itb)

    Elliot
    Alonso/Davies/Maguire/Daniels
    Eriksen/Silva/Sterling
    Kane/Jesus/Abraham

    Bench: Foster, RLC, T. Carroll, Mbemba

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Def no.

  21. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kolasinac, Sterling > Daniels, Salah for free?

    1. Greko82
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  22. CFC96
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    might make the most boring transfer in fpl history during the IB by going krul to speroni, elliot at old trafford just screams 0 points

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Im thinking the same thing tbh

  23. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Cedric to Duffy or Dunk? Will fund getting in Salah as second free. I see Salah not in Egypt squad and therefore 2 week break so will get him in after games tomorrow.

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

      I prefer Duffy, but not much in it in terms of potential returns

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This actually

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy

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

    Quite a contradiction in that game, one team baking in the sun of a great Egyptian, the other wallowing in the great river of his homeland.

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

    Foster in for a drop tonight too.

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

      West Brom's luck must change soon - they've been flat attacking wise but not looked as bad as their points suggest

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Luck ? They are truly the most tedious team in the PL .

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

      Doing Foster > Pope now.

  26. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Elliot was on for a 9 pointer, Ritchie was on for gap. that Bournemouth goal hurt like hell 6-8 pts swing right there. luckily I heard salah

    1. FER FUSCH AKE

    Gross or shaqiri?
    On my wc

    1. CFC96
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      gross, he is brighton imo, shaqiri is too hot and cold, mostly cold

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

      Shaq is very streaky. Gross steady. I think Gross will get more pts long term.

  28. white lightning
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Playing Fernandez over Mee is a bummer but if Davies doesn't play I have Mee as 1st sub. Knowing my luck Davies won't start but will come on for a 5 minute cameo haha.

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. I'm in the same position and have resigned myself to that fate

  29. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years

    Salah non owners, what are you drinking? 😀

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

      whoever doesn't own salah only has themselves to blame

      1. George Sillett

        Sanctimonious tit.

    2. Oven Glover

    4. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Anything I can get my hands on but that's nothing to do with FPL really.

  30. Please Help I Don't Kn…

    Good idea to double up on Burnley defence with Ward and Mee?

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

      I did it today with Elliot and Lascelles and i regret it.

      Just want a cheap backline representing 7 teams looking like this:

      Elliot Speroni
      Jones, Aké, Mee, Duffy, Monreal/Stones/Trippier/etc.

      I don't care much about those 'attacking returns'
      Like my defenders to be almost certain in the BAPS if 0-0 or a 1 to nil victory 😉

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

      I'm considering
