The starter pistol is fired for Gameweek 23 as Norwich City try to keep pace with Liverpool at Carrow Road. The Canaries are unbeaten in five match-ups on home turf, while the Reds tasted victory just twice across their previous eight fixtures.

Although Norwich head into this clash off the back of successive road defeats, they won their previous two home ties by an aggregate of 3-0. In fact, only three sides have conceded fewer home goals (10) than the Norfolk outfit this term, highlighting their defensive diligence at Carrow Road. That being said, only two teams have accrued fewer goals on familiar soil (12) than Alex Neil’s men, which will be music to the ears of Fantasy managers who’ve recruited from the visitors’ defence.

Despite ranking top for attempts (81) over the last four Gameweeks, the Merseysiders mustered just four goals and 17 shots on target, engendering the league’s worst shot accuracy (21%) and third-worst shot-conversion rate (4.9%). At the other end of the pitch, Jurgen Klopp’s charges surrendered the joint-fifth-most shots inside the box (33). With regards to their form in road matches, Liverpool have managed just a goal a game (11), despite placing fourth for attempts (148).

      I didn't know Klinsmann was a mystic nowadays

  2. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    With Kolo and Sakho i central defense were people even expecting a CS?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      And Mignolet

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I weren't. Attacking potential though.

  3. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Jurgen Klopp not known for his defensive qualities?

    Hes easily had enough time to sort that

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not a great defence to work with

      1. Licky
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ... and with injuries its been different players every week with no confidence from an awful goalkeeper.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Klopp seems to rate Mig

  4. Gr3g
    • 14 Years

    Moreno will score today...

  5. Jafooli

    Moreno > packet of chewits?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Only for a -8

  6. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    sigh

  7. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Absolutely no movement from our attackers.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably because they're all on the bench or injured.

    2. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Average is as average does.

  8. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Playing Moreno for his attacking potential and stats.

    Same reason as to why I was playing Kolv

    No clean sheet for either

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe should concentrate on CSs for defenders

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Same reason as to why everyone is buying Spurs defenders?

        No clean sheet for them either

  9. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    People always shouting 'Selling Moreno' like he cost 6.2m.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing to do with wanting points?

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      lol

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      There are better and cheaper options. People who are threats offensively and CS potential.

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Clean sheets are a crap shoot this season, teams pop up as fad defenses for 3 games then ship goals when people invest. Palace > West Ham > Swansea.

  10. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Moreno has only assisted once this season - i.e. vs Norwich City earlier in the season. Let's hope he does it again with some attacking returns.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      And to think I got him for his attacking threat 😆

  11. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Should've been Norwich pen surely?

  12. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Milner is so overrated

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He is ?

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      When was he rated?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        When pundits go on and on about him being super reliable and versatile blabla

        1. TeamSteam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Both those are true. Doesnt means hes overrated by any means.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Has anyone ever rated him? Guy plays like a donkey.

  13. drughi
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I dont think I had a defender score over 8 points this season, my biggest issue so far

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Buy Ashley Williams.

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Who have you got though?

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        tried some expensive ones and some cheap ones, just cant get it right. Bad timing

  14. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sorry to point out the obvious but boy do Liverpool miss Gerrard. This is the first full 90 of theirs I will have watched in a long old time.

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      *the Gerrard of 5 years ago

  15. @ocprodigy

    It's interesting seeing Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp. Just goes to show managers can't work miracles. Similar to Hiddink at Chelsea.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Tbf Hiddink has transformed Chelsea into a solid mid table team

      1. Gnu

        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

    2. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Need to give him a summer of transfers and pre-season training at least.

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      In Klopps case: Good manager. Crap squad.

      He'd do wonders with ours.

      1. money face bandwagon

    Great recovery from Moreno

  19. MagicMessi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    i dont have Moreno but think he's a great pick at this price ... i also think that there are greater picks at this price too ( Evans - Targett - PVA -Daniels - Collins -....)

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      True. Leicester defenders and Stoke defenders better for CS's as well

      1. MagicMessi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        yup Leicester and Stoke too ...

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He's not done well, but it's a 4.9 defender, never seem to have a spare transfer to sort it.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    Mig is poor keeper

  21. FPL Daniel

    its evident, liverpool football club needs a shake up. win lose or draw. this team on paper and pitch is not impressive at all. I'm watching this game like rah this team is rubbish

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
