Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Leicester

10 September 2016 2447 comments

Saturdays’s events conclude at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will host champions Leicester City.

The big teamsheet news is that Klopp has made the decision to keep Philippe Coutinho on the bench, despite flying him back early from international duty with Brazil. That allows Daniel Sturridge to earn a second start of the season, whilst Lucas has to come into to central defence with Dejan Lovren ruled out with an injury sustained in training.

Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City are unchanged as they bid to build on their 2-1 win over Swansea City in Gameweek 3. There’s no place on the bench for new signing Islam Slimani.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      great assist, missed a sitter, was involved in many attacks, but liverpool midfield looks far more interesting, because they are as involved if not more

      He was pretty good. Seems like Firmino/Mane will be better value though.

      No real right answer, both are really good options. Guess I'd say Firmino because of the .5 price difference. He's also maybe a little more creative with a touch less goal threat.

        Not really. But once in a while he will score some pens/goals and bag some assist too.
        Look at his stats back in 2012/2013 & 2014/2015.
        Plus having him instead of Özil will allow me to own Agüero, Ibra, Hazard, Antonio, Firmino and Baines

        It really is a shame. People on here jest over Tadic's "underlying stats," but if you've watched their matches closely he could easily have four or five assists already with better finishers. That's not his fault.

    Is the Ibra / Aguero combination now dead in light of so many midfield options worth having over 8.0m?

    Or do you stick with both and go for the cheaper options within each side like Cazorla, Antonio or Lallana.

    Add to that the rise of the likes of Benteke, who cost 1.0m more than the popular cheap third forwards, makes it a really interesting season at the moment.
