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.

    Do I need to get rid of Sakho or Darmian?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Darmian. I am at least. He was awful.

    2. Sif
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Wait on news of why Sakho didn't even make the bench (injury?) and also how bad Fosu's injury was.

  2. Somalion
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Another dominant display from United 😎

  3. fickle
    10 years, 7 months ago

    So i guess darmian won't play even if fosu mensah is out?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 7 months ago

      LVG would be better off playing his nan than Darmian

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        10 years, 7 months ago

        How much is his nan?

  6. Jazz!
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Now I understand why Ville Ronka got no United players on WC ...

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      10 years, 7 months ago

      The genius

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Double Everton defence instead?

    3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Needed room for Sakho and Lovren

    4. Mark-O
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Do you have the link to his team?

  7. The Mandalorian
    10 years, 7 months ago

    The Everton fixture is now damage limitation

  8. Big Sum
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I'm so glad I did mahrez--->Milner. This helped me find the extra 0.1 to do moreno--->Sakho...oh wait a minute

  9. Jafooli
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Who wins?

    A. Robles, Delaney & Lukaku

    B. 6pts

    1. Dot Polka Dot
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A

    3. Rolls-Royce
      10 years, 7 months ago

      B

    4. Uncle John from Jamaica
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Clearly A as you have six points just for turning up

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 7 months ago

        No guarantees Lukaku will get his two points...

    5. Big Sum
      10 years, 7 months ago

      B. 6pts, for sure

    6. Chucky

  10. Bobby Crush
    10 years, 7 months ago

    What's with all the moaning?

    The WC was played for with the whole run-in in mind eh.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 7 months ago

      True, but I don't think people expected that the would have been about 40 points better off doing nothing.

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 7 months ago

        that they*

    2. Les Bleus
      10 years, 7 months ago

      The damage done this week is not even worth it making it up next week

  11. Uncle John from Jamaica
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Unless I am missing something the whole point of the weeks wild card was to set yourself up for next week. Stop crying over split milk most people here have 28-30 chances next week most casuals will be lucky to get 14 chances.

    1. SmackMyBilicUp
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Now I think about it,you are right. Thank you ,I feel better now 🙂

    2. Les Bleus
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Look up. The damage done this week might not even be enough for next week.

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Don't be so dramatic it's was hardly hundreds of points was it.

  12. Dot Polka Dot
    10 years, 7 months ago

    It's ok Bolasie and kaku will both score 5 each in the week

  13. _Ninja_
    10 years, 7 months ago

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Now he's gone off injured? Yeah

      1. _Ninja_
        10 years, 7 months ago

    3. trinzoo
      10 years, 7 months ago

      10 years, 7 months ago

  15. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Owned Vardy for just six weeks this season, the weeks he didn't score. Yeah, thats my season summed up!

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Moreno first sub
    Alli second sub.

      10 years, 7 months ago

        10 years, 7 months ago

  17. Guba
    10 years, 7 months ago

    The Tottenham game has me absolutely gutted, opponents have double tottenham defence including toby and I have Martial coming off the bench. Just needed him to score

  18. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Oh sh1t.

    I just realised that I will be stucked with Coutinho's and Sakho's zeros until Wednesday.

  19. Studgie G
    10 years, 7 months ago

    averages lads

    56 with Lukaku(c) Barkley Delaney and Cabaye

      1. Studgie G
        10 years, 7 months ago

        not bad

    3. Big Sum
      10 years, 7 months ago

      53+ Robles, Lu(C)aka and Jagielka maybe

  20. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Wow, 3-0. My team last week probably would have scored double of my current team.

  21. Zebrahimović
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Basically never go with the Hive mind. Remember the template draft team at the beginning of the season? Urrrghh,

  22. Sif
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Quick reference chart for checking your scores.

    Players you kept = Blanked
    Players you sold = Scored
    Players you bought = Rested

    1. Mark-O
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Siggy and Vardy sold.

      Could have been 80ish. 🙁

  23. Mark-O
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Didn't do a WC33 but have 58 points. Still have players to play in CRY v EVE.

    I'll keep Toby Alli Kane then. 🙁

  24. Nicks93
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Now what the hell to do with Darmian, ship to Mensah? Rojo? Do nothing?

    1. Performance Series
      10 years, 7 months ago

      1. Nicks93
        10 years, 7 months ago

    10 years, 7 months ago

    Fabianski
    Moreno
    Rose
    Huth
    Siggy
    Alli
    Vardy

    Not that bad
    Only 50-60 points lost

        10 years, 7 months ago

        *gulpw"*

    3. Mark-O
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Stoke is going to lose so badly.
      I am so afraid to sell Alli for a dgw mid now. Damn.

    4. Bøwstring The Carp
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Stoke will make sure to defend after today

      0-0 or 0-1 Spurs

      1. Mark-O
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Butland has been protecting the perilous back four too much.

  27. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Looking great in my H2H cash league until this afternoon as my opponent had Alli, Vardy and Toby. Honestly!! FFS.

    Need Everton to stonk Palace to have any chance of getting ahead

  28. Ziro Becomes One
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Going to take a nice break, come onto this site on Saturday for advice on who to ship out for Jagielka then. He can drop by 0.9 for all I care after this week's horror show by me.

    Cheers all. Keep the discussions burning.

    :cries:

  29. Lizard Lips
