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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Darmian. I am at least. He was awful.

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

    Another dominant display from United 😎

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

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

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      LVG would be better off playing his nan than Darmian

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        How much is his nan?

  4. Jay_

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

        3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Needed room for Sakho and Lovren

        4. Mark-O
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Do you have the link to his team?

      4. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        The Everton fixture is now damage limitation

      5. Big Sum
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 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

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

        Who wins?

        A. Robles, Delaney & Lukaku

        B. 6pts

        1. Dot Polka Dot
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          A

        2. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          A

        3. Rolls-Royce

          B

        4. Uncle John from Jamaica
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Clearly A as you have six points just for turning up

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

            No guarantees Lukaku will get his two points...

        5. Big Sum
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          B. 6pts, for sure

      7. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        What's with all the moaning?

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

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 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
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            that they*

        2. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

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

      8. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 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
          10 years, 2 months ago

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

        2. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

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

          1. Uncle John from Jamaica
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

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

      9. Dot Polka Dot
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

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

      10. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Fosu mensah now an option?

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

        3. trinzoo
          • 11 Years

          If fit, yes, Darmian is awful, Rojo poor as well.

        4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

      12. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

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

      13. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Moreno first sub
        Alli second sub.
        Vardy out for lukaku.
        Another brilliant gameweek.

      14. Guba
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 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

      15. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Oh sh1t.

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

      17. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

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

      18. Zebrahimović
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

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

        Quick reference chart for checking your scores.

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

        1. Mark-O
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Siggy and Vardy sold.

          Could have been 80ish. 🙁

      20. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 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. 🙁

      21. Nicks93
        • 12 Years

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

        Moreno
        Rose
        Huth
        Siggy
        Alli
        Vardy

        Not that bad
        Only 50-60 points lost

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

          40 instead of 90 points

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

        4. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Stoke will make sure to defend after today

          0-0 or 0-1 Spurs

          1. Mark-O
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Butland has been protecting the perilous back four too much.

        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

        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.
