Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

The final match of Gameweek 32 arrives this evening as Liverpool entertain struggling Newcastle at Anfield. Brendan Rodgers’ side are reeling from back-to-back losses against United and Arsenal have all but ended their Champions League hopes, though the Reds will be looking to build on their midweek cup win at Blackburn.

Philippe Coutinho will be hoping to add to his Ewood Park winner and improve upon a run which has harvested a single assist in the last four Gameweeks. Jordan Henderson has struck in four of the last five league fixtures and is the Merseysiders’ form man as Fantasy managers are afforded the chance to scout their assets ahead of double Gameweek 34. Elsewhere for the home side, Raheem Sterling will be looking to return to form against a defence with just two shut-outs in the last 19 Gameweeks – he seems poised to start up front after Daniel Sturridge was ruled out with yet another injury.

John Carver’s side arrive on the back of a four-match losing streak that has seen them score a single goal. With Papiss Cisse still suspended, the Magpies look likely to struggle again and with injuries hitting hard at the back, there’s been little on offer to grab our attentions on Tyneside. With four home fixtures in the final six, in addition to trips to Leicester and QPR, the upcoming schedule suggests Carver’s men could bring in the points if they can start performing.

    Sissoko didn't have his Wheaties this morning.

    Can given assist on FPL? Thank God he's irrelevant in FPL otherwise FPL towers would get a bombardment of emails.

      Yep.

    It's nice to hear the communications between players, more stadiums should keep it like this

      Are they discussing their salary?

      1. Punty

        9 years, 2 months ago

        Sterling said something about a second mortgage

    Newcastle in not really good enough for the top flight shocker.

      Newcastle are perfect for the top flight. And should remain there for quite a while. Dont ever forget that. A lot of teams would love to be where you are.

        I'm not ungrateful to be a 'big club' and I understand what else is out there (I know people who play at high non-league standard) but everyone strives for more. It's not unreasonable to wish we made more of our considerable resources and showed a little more fight/ambition each season.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years

          Just seemed like you were losing sight of that. Does seem to be a continuous stream of underachievement.

          1. GreenWindmill

            Yeah, just on a bit of a low at the minute and let it show, such a frustrating experience when so much potential is almost wilfully thrown aside. Plenty of posts on here over the last few months have put this kind of thing in perspective though. Plus Mark brought in Mignolet this week so a goal would have helped there too 😉

    Guzan Given
    Trippier Lescott Rose (Sakho Caulker)

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Yeah, massive red arrow for non-owners.

    3. Lyonnais
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No, everyone in the Top 10k already owns Allen.

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

  10. Duke Silver ☑

    Kane will have a field day against this defence.

    1. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Unfortunately he won't. Spurs have half given up, they're out of form and the Geordie fans will give their team hell if they play so badly. (Kane and Eriksen owner)

  11. The Gambler.
    • 14 Years

    Baps not going as expected

    Allen
    Johnson
    Moreno

  12. the Penman

    A Joe Allen goal, with a Can assist? Has a goal ever mattered less in the history of FPL?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes.

      The "old" Falcao, not the latest version.
