Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

We head to the Emirates this evening as Gameweek 3 comes to its conclusion with a head-to-head between two of last season’s top six. Despite scoring just twice so far, Arsenal have offered a significant threat in the final third – although they’ve played only two matches, Arsene Wenger’s side still sit joint-top for shots inside the box, firing 32 close-range attempts.

Liverpool arrive in London in impressive defensive form, though. The Reds have registered back-to-back shut-puts this season and chalked up eight clean sheets away from home in 2014/15 – joint-top with West Brom. With three very favourable home fixtures in the following four, Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on the Merseysiders’ main men at both ends of the pitch.

Given that Arsenal are missing both Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker, Christian Benteke owners will be hopeful of another goal for the Belgian, after he opened his account against Bournemouth last Monday evening.

    The only thing worse than having Liverpool players in FPL is not having Liverpool players in FPL

    84 point wildcarder probably getting close to bringing up a century with Cech and Gomez

    100 point GWs should not be allowed in this crazy season

      Apart from Cech, the bps don't reward the defenders who perform best.

    22. Baby Cuties
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      sounds like this Joe Gomez is doing pretty well.

      reckon he's close to nailing that LB spot?

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'd say it's his after today.

    23. Sushant

      Ozil+Cech = 14pts
