Our next members article of the international break assesses the impact of Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool during his first four league matches in charge at Anfield. The former Borussia Dortmund boss had enjoyed a solid start to life on Merseyside, staying unbeaten in his first six matches in charge across all competitions, before suffering a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace last time out.

Scoring goals had been as issue for Liverpool under previous manager Brendan Rodgers at the start of the season, with the Merseysiders managing just eight in as many league matches. That record has only slighted improved under the German, registering five goals in their last four matches, although they have faced fairly difficult opposition (tot, SOU, che) prior to their home loss at the hands of Palace.

With that in mind, we investigate the team data in the members section to try to establish Klopp’s impact over the first four league matches of his tenure on Merseyside.

      I really don't get the Kane love but I understand he has good stats. Every time I have watched him he looks sluggish and a few of his goals have been pretty fortunate. At least 3 in my book. just my opinion mind you.

      I am planning on having Aguero/Vardy/Lukaku as my front 3. Would struggle to replace any with Kane regardless of Vardys pictures. Would be more likely to drop Lukaku for him before Vardy.

      What does everyone else think?

        I'm in the same boat. I'll be holding the same three as you unless Kane begins to outperform Lukaku by a notable amount. Then I'd have to downgrade a high-end defender to accommodate the move.

      2. A.T
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I agree. I plan to bring him in but when I watch him I think Mmm maybe not. I'd rather have Lukaku over Kane.

      So with all the internationals done I gather that people aren't worried that the below 3 won't start this weekend?

      - Van Dijk
      - Bellerin
      - Vardy

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years

        Bellerin returned to training on Monday , VVD played down his injury and said he did not play as a precaution , not sure about Vardy

          cheers Adam, that's the general consensus I've gotten..guess we'll just know more about the 3 (and specifically Vardy) on Friday

      2. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They will ALL start in my opinion.

      United fans, what would you rate the chances of my Phil Jones getting a start this weekend?

      1. Nascimento

        Majority of United fans have no idea who Phil Jones is

        Either him or Blind at CB. I think it will be:

      Liverpool fans, including Forehead, please note, and inwardly digest: "Although Klopp is without the injured Mamadou Sakho for a number of weeks, his likely replacement Dejan Lovren has been more impressive in the air, winning 71.4% of his headed duels compared to the Frenchman’s 60%. Intriguingly, the much-maligned Lovren also betters Sakho for successful tackles (66.7% to 58.3%)."

      Oh Jesus. Who'd like to try and guess the price of the beer and then the price of the cider at the just 1 Michelin star restaurant I'm going to in a minute.

            • 11 Years

            That is expensive, I'll go with £9 then.

              Good lord, whereabouts? I've been to a fair few around Chelsea in the past couple of years but yet to break a tenner on a pint. £9.50 is the closest I've got.

          Menu says Kr. 175. and XE Currency Converter says £13 not £18.

          Still expensive, but a big difference. Am I missing something here or was it not in Sweden?

          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah he's looked tired recently, but I honestly think he was up there for lost possession last season too. As great as he is, he doesn't think enough, just tries to run with the ball way too often.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              it just shows while he's up there in the table on through balls and chances created, his pass accuracy is average

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                His pass accuracy is very sound. Compare and contrast with de Bruyne ...

                1. Jazz!
                  • 10 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Think his pass accuracy is average though. De Bruyne's is just horrific.

                  1. sinik
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    while trying to avoid sounding like I'm blindly defending De Bruyne, they've recently had a far more 'shuffled' XI than Arsenal have due to injuries..so that on top of being new to the league and all could be a contributing factor.

                    that being said, a player of his quality should definitely be managing well over 70% pass accuracy haha

                  2. sinik
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    I like chances created for context in pass accuracy. For example, if you look JUST at pass accuracy you would think Di Maria is a terrible player, but really he's just always looking for that killer ball, for better or worse.

                    De Bruyne has created 4 more chances than Sanchez in 300 fewer minutes of gametime. Obviously Sanchez has more defensive duties than KDB does, but it's still telling..

                2. sinik
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  in an absolute sense it's nothing to write home about..but with the context of a high-risk/explosive playstyle it's perfectly sound, yes.

                  compared with KDB it's certainly better but not crazily.

                  lemme ask you if you had to pick one to keep, who would it be? keep in mind in this scenario that you have Aguero and Ozil.

                  1. Jazz!
                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    Doos hates De Bruyne. He'd pick Sanchez any day of the week.

                        Pass completion is very low, loses the ball too often. Stats regressing.

                    Sánchez, without question. I don't own de Bruyne.

                      I'm currently looking at either KDB or Kolarov out for GW14 to fund Aguero for GW15

                        10 years, 1 month ago

                        Fwiw, I may end up with BOTH Yaya and Raheem, depending on injuries.

                        1. sinik

                          10 years, 1 month ago

                          you don't think Yaya's FPL value diminishes greatly whilst Aguero and Silva are fit? he doesn't have pens, he has fewer free kicks and he's more withdrawn from the action (save for late runs I suppose)

                          looking at Yaya myself Doos started the season with him and definitely considering bringing him back

                          No, I don't. I stuck him in the comparison tool, and what became slowly evident is that he actually does much more stuff than anybody else - even when the percentages aren't wonderful.

            I'm not a member, but I do watch 99% of all Arsenal games, and he's not at the peak of his powers at all. Was probably the worst player on the pitch in the NLD. ðŸ™

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Spuds have the best tackling team in the Premiership, by a mile and bar none.

              That might have something to do with it.

              1. Wilshere Knowledge
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Okay, but he was still poor in basically every area of his game. Still a great FPL player because of his play style, but the team would really benefit if we could afford to give him some rest. With the WC, Copa America, + playing basically every minute for Arsenal, the man has been flat out for way too long, imo.

                1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                  Of course, you are right, there. But even so, he is still a wonderful player.

            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            his pass completion isn't bad but he loses the ball in other ways- mainly through being tackled or through a bad touch

      2. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

      3. Zizoulicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not surprised either. He is that type of player who starts moving with the ball before he gets his head up and thinks - which often works. Plus his recent performances have just been poor all round, and I think he struggles in big games

          Possibly. It's not even because he's bad (as he may well prove himself to be good), I just find him highly highly annoying for some reason. It's personal.

            He's not bad at all. He's actually very good and I think Klopp will get the best out of him eventually.

        I hate you. That's now in my head.

    • The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle > Kane for -4?

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        no

      2. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not for a hit

      3. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Pelle will get 6 points this week. Kane will get 12. So yes, 2 point profit 😉

          Please do those kind of maths when we face you 🙂

            I recon we've started our disinformation phase?

      4. Every Dog Has Its Day

        Yes.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I would say yes - but he is playing my team. So yes ... 🙂

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          My plan is Pelle or Vardy > Kane this week then next week

          Sanchez + Pelle/Vardy > 8.4m + Aguero -4 giving me a forward line of Aguero,Kane,Lukaku

          Any suggestions on the 8.4m midfielder?

          I have Sanchez,Ozil,KDB,Wijnaldum,Drinkwater

      6. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's too risky for me . I thought about it too but I am not doing it

    • Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think KDB is a fraud in FPL. I normally pick players based on statistics but he was an anomaly after Newcastle.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Same.. Gonna swap for Silva next week

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Me too.

      2. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        am i right in saying u have taken a -16 and still have this fraud?

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, but I will get in Sterling or Silva for him.

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            for a -20

      3. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He's the perfect FPL player. He's always looking for that final pass, even if it's to the detriment of his team.

        His numbers in Germany are no accident. 😉

      4. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It might be an example of us expecting too much out of City without Silva and Aguero ? .

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          +1

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          we're holding the playstyle of a player who looks for the high-risk-high-reward pass when it doesn't pan out because he's looking for a different player (objectively less talented, no less) every week what with City's injuries

      5. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Three blanks in eight games and people say that he's a fraud. LOL

      6. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        680 minutes
        3 goals
        4 assists
        24 chances created (translates to one every 28 minutes)

        Played with Silva only once (scored 15 points).
        Played with Aguero only 4 times (averaged 8.75 points).

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 1 month ago

            These are the only stats that matter to me. He will improve with Silva back for sure.

      7. Gazpilicueta

        10 years, 1 month ago

        any tips for my team?

        DDG, Myhill

        Bellerin, Kolarov, Bertrand, Francis, Nyom

        Sanchez, Mahrez, Payet, KDB, Wanyama

        Pelle, Vardy, Kane

        0.5 mil in the bank and 2 free transfers.

        Who is best to replace Bony and 5.8 in bank i can not and will not take in Lukaku he cost me a top 3 last season so i will not put him in my team no matter how well he is playing.

        1. Gazpilicueta

            Many thanks for the advise will reprogamme my brain and look at it in different logic.:)

        10 years, 1 month ago

        Opinions please on the best 5th MF (possibly rotating with Mahrez on the bench) to have for the next few GWs out of this lot

        Lindegaard
        Deulofeu
        Alli

        Any ideas would be welcomed

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          none.. get the cheapest available and do not rotate Mahrez

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Dele Alli, on the grounds of possible bonus.

      11. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Who you captaining this week, Doosra?

        1. The Gambler.
          • 16 Years

          I'm not. He's not even in my team.

      12. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        do we know if vardy is playing? i was guessing with his wrist injury for the last 4 games he will probably just play right?!

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          We don't know Hodgeson did not tell us enough . He will be determined to play to break the record . Wait for presser

          1. Gazpilicueta
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            whens the presser? and thanks for the info! come one break that record!

            1. PlayPercentage
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Vardy has a hip injury.
              Maybe he will have an injection. But that might lead to him aggravating his injury and facing a longer spell on the sidelines.

      13. ktk_interista

        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Does anyone fancy Kane to outscore Kun over the next 6 games. He has way better fixtures (4 home games against leaky defenses). He is in great form. Kun is coming back from injury and will be eased in. I wouldn't be confident captaining him except in 1 or 2 of the next 6 games. Winter in England tends to affect South American players negatively as well. Is it wise to wait on Aguero if you have KDB as city coverage?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I think that I do.

          1. ktk_interista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I've been planning how to get Kun in for 2 weeks now but suddenly I have a change of heart. We can afford to wait and monitor till the Swansea game GW 16 imo. Liverpool, Soton and Stoke away are difficult games.

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Indeed. Is my rough plan too. 🙂

              1. Frank Black
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                The only way i'd have to get Kun in right now would be to lose Sanchez or KDB and i don't want to lose either of them, especially not KDB. I already know that Kane is in great form but i don't know how Kun is doing so i think i'll wait.

        2. A.T
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Did you just make that up about the winter thing? 😀

            • 14 Years

            I can't say its a fact. Its an opinion. Or an observation. They are not used to cold weather.

        3. Numb
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I think Kane will out score him this week, after that probably not

        4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Possibly..huge risk though. Too much of one IMO.unless you keeping cash in bank ready

          1. ktk_interista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I will keep the cash and try to keep a FT as my team is stable. Getting Kun in won't need for than 2 FTs and trading out KDB.

        My forward line is:
        Bony-Kane-Vardy

        2FTs. May go Bony -> Lukaku just for this GW.
        I can then assess the Aguero situation after the midweek Juventus-City match.

        Crazy to consider Lukaku for 1 week only?
