Heading into the home game against Stoke, Philippe Coutinho was one of the most popular picks around. Second only to Eden Hazard in terms of midfield ownership in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), the Liverpool winger was heavily backed to run riot against the Potters after a thrilling first few months on Merseyside last time round.

Unfortunately for his Fantasy owners, Coutinho returned a blank while Iago Aspas and Daniel Sturridge picked up the points after combining for the Reds’ match-winner. As we edge ever-closer to the weekend’s fixtures, we take a look back at the Brazilian’s display against Mark Hughes’ side and assess the underlying data in our first Monitor article of the new season.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Dear José....I have already fallen out of you. The only big Belgian that shall please me tonight appears to be Monsieur Artois. Damn it!

    Am I missing something with the SkySports FF? The leaders are on 220+ points from only 11 plqyers which means that their entire squad score 20 points?????

    Even allowing for Captains and all that rubbish this seems impossible considering that the 3 highest scoring players were VP, Shaw and Sturridge with 17,15 & 12 points respectively ...........

    So once again 'Am I missing something?'

      They are using all 40 transfers to win the monthly prize, entire back 4s of teams who kept clean sheets etc

        I'm still confused, how does this add up to 220 points .........

      They have used loads of transfers already. The #1 in the FFS league has about 9 city players

    Man alive, Lukaku needs to go on loan again or transfer to a slightly lower team.

    Guys, I wouldn't sell Lukaku now. Him not starting tonight means he's nailed on for the United game.

    (This is how it works, yeah?)

      I don't think anyone will be feeling that confident. I would have said yes had he started, scored, they looked comfortable and they braught him off after 60-70 mins. I think this says more about Torres being his no. 1 at this point. Abramovich wants his favourite toy fixed.

    Have Oscar, Hazard and Lukaku - would have put good money on Lukaku being the only 1 of them to start tonight, not the only 1 on the bench!!!

    Only way Lukaku would have a chance of not dropping would be to start and play well tonight. Cant see him scoring more than one goal if he is benched

    Just means Lukaku's more likely to start the United game. Not really as fatalistic as people are making out, Lukaku's proven he's more than capable of scoring off the bench.
