Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Man United

Gameweek 8 comes to its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Man United to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s in-form outfit seek a fifth successive win in the top-flight and could even climb to the summit if they register a victory by a margin of four or more goals.

That’s perhaps unlikely yet, having netted nine times in two matches in front of their own supporters, the Reds will be in buoyant mood tonight.

The likes of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane will be keenly monitored by Fantasy managers as the Merseysiders prepare for a superb upcoming run of fixtures.

For United, the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the main point of concern around these parts.

The big Swede has a single goal in five appearances and has already earned more transfers out than any other forward in the Gameweek.

Another blank and the exodus will surely pick up pace, given that Jose Mourinho then takes his side to former club Chelsea next Sunday – the Blues have chalked up back-to-back shut-outs since the switch to 3-4-3.

          Will almost certainly change but looks solid for Valencia.

          Valencia on 30

              Nice 🙂 32-30 now

            Bailly even with a YC

          Lukaku most obvious Ibra replacement?

          (Have Kun and Costa)

            id personally go with someone cheaper like C. Wilson saves more funds for a better mid

            Expensive front three.

            Cheers! Not really tempted by Wilson

        • Declan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          That'll do.

        • Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Antonio to Lallana anyone?

          1. Bunk Moreland
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Lallana lifted the team when he came on. Definetely considering, along with Arnie or Walcott.

        • Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Has Ibra touched the ball at all tonight?

        • Paul Psychic Octopus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          De Gea + Tony V, I'll settle for the 14-15pts.

          But what a boring game

        • Royal5

        • tm245
          • 12 Years

          Clyne Firmino Coutinho - 6 CS points right there. I'll take it.

        • HurriKane

          Well that was dull but id take 11 points from Valencia and Firmino

            Only having Coutinho in the game I have to take that as a success, so much damage could have been done by Ibra, Firmino and Mane
