Rounding off the weekend’s entertainment, there are a quartet of teams battling for supremacy at opposite ends of the country. Liverpool search for their first in win three outings when they host Stoke City, while Tottenham Hotspur duel with Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool’s attack is in fine fettle ahead of their double next Gameweek, given that they managed the joint-third-most goals (eight) and second-most shots on target (27) over their last four matches. However, prospective investors will be concerned that the Reds possess the joint-third-worst shot-conversion rate (8%) in home matches. As for the Potters, they’ve recorded one clean sheet in 10 matches yet conceded the joint-second-fewest big chances (two) across their previous four fixtures.

Spurs maintained their attacking dominance during the last four Gameweeks, registering the joint-third-most goals (eight), most attempts (80), joint-most big chances (10) and most shots on target (31). As for the Red Devils, they ranked joint-third-bottom for goals (three), third-bottom for attempts (36), second-bottom for shots inside the box (18) and joint-third-bottom for shots on target (10), augmenting the Lilywhites’ clean-sheet prospects.

    FM is really impressive.

      I agree

      He's boss.

    I dropped Moreno for Jags, due to some of you guys telling me Moreno was not nailed on, now I got to take a hit to replace Jags, and Moreno scoring today.........
    I know I made the ultimate decision, just frustrated. Most of us were not WCding for this GW but to double in 34, so here is hoping we clean house next week.

    Mensah! Class defending, again!

  6. Sergeant Garcia
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Looking for a Daniels replacement. 5.2 max

    Current defence: DDG / Robles - Fuchs / PvA / Bellerin / Sakho

        Sorry to break it to you like that

          devastated . If anyone wants me I will be in the Batcave

            Close the shutters, mate. Don't think anyone wants you after BvS

    Kane goal is coming 😥

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

      😀

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Mensah has the look of a young Pele. Facially that is, not skill wise 🙂

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Pelle was nowhere as good technically as Mensah.

  10. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Rangel to Fosu Mensah certainly worth the punt. Allows me to afford Smalling for a double up, too.

  11. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How lovely it would be if Fosu Mensah was 100% nailed

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Could well be after today

        My comment on 2nd page, needed to perform and he is. his coming in

  12. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years

    So how about that Moreno goal... Watching a bit from the bathroom at family dinner

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

      Didn't see it. I'm upside down on a climbing frame at a family barbecue

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

        😀 good stuff Timbo....

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      what course you up to?

  13. Aston-villain
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Wtf just thought I'd log on to check for coutinho/sakho involvement.....fail.....why aren't they playing?
    Dam this 2nd wc ruined the game.

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

      Dortmund on Thursday

    2. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I was worried Sakho had been dropped... but if you look, Lovren isn't playing either - so it's clearly Klopp resting his favoured defensive pairing for Dortmund

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

    Rojo completely skinned.....

  15. Greenbackbøøg…

        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

    Utd are all over the shop

    • 10 Years

    Get a yellow 'Arry

  17. Sergeant Garcia
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Where does FM play? Left or right wing?

    1. The Algerian Dream
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      RB

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years

        Thanks!

  18. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kane had his mouth open 3.5cm there. Anything over 4cm usually indicates a goal incoming.

    Something to keep an eye on.

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      hahaha

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      or a baby

  19. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    The Bench Boost is a great time to take a risk on DGWers who aren't nailed, IMO. Two bites at the apple, and you have covered yourself with the rest of your squad if it doesn't work out.

    If United concede I will of course retract this statement...

  20. Jay_
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lamela looks like Aguero's off the rails, tear away, junkie younger brother

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

        Has he got eye liner on for this game?

        1. MikeyMitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          He's got it every game.

      2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years

        Junkies know how to score

        great shout mate

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lamela you diving rat...

    • Inverjas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Can't Darmian play LB? surely its better than rojo

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He can and he will.

        He will be rotated with Rojo, I mean.

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Even with another WC now, not sure I'd trust myself with it.....

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not sure I'd even change much

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

          Oh don't you worry Andy, I'd manage to bugger up my team even more 😀

      2. Jazz!
        • 11 Years

        😆

    • Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Robles Darlow
      Coleman Bellerin Sakho Gabriel Delaney
      Payet Bolasie Kdb Sanchez Firmino
      Mitrovic Kun Lukaku

      This is the team i got on Wc
      1FT

      Gabriel and Sakho safe?
      What about Mitrovic and De bruyne??

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

        Not sure about Mitrovic simply based on the fact that Newcastle are dogshit.

        1. MikeyMitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Right, he feels like a failed bandwagon

          1. Sergeant Garcia
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Why? Only because he didn't score against a tight Southampton?

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

              They're already down and they know it. No motivation throughout the whole team whatsoever.

      2. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'd keep Mitro & KdB.
        Gabriel & Sakho should be safe.

      3. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I would sell Bolasie+Delaney,cant see points in DGW34 there.

        1. FFSbet.com
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Ignore my comment if you dont use BB in DGW34

          1. Weeb Kakashi
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            No i am using!! So could you please Give me the best replacements for them
            They need not have a gw35

            Lanzini for Bolasie
            Who would you get for Delaney??

    • Jay_
        10 years, 2 months ago

        2ft, 3.2itb, mini WC;

        Jagielka Dann Bolasie > Rojo Moreno KDB?

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Not the Dann to Moreno transfer

          Sakho and Lovren won't be rested every game, might be Clyne/Moreno's turn next week

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Mensah is the new dgw bandwagon being touted about here I see.

        Time to stay away then

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

          What you on about? He's nailed on for the Euros if manages to complete his second ever 90 mins.

      • Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        With Smalling coming in for Lovren from the bench, be sure that Lovren gets subbed on in the 90th min with Smalling keeping a CS and bonus points... It is one of those weeks.
