Rarely do we stumble upon a sure-thing in Fantasy Football. However, the potential profit offered by Liverpool’s midfield assets over their forthcoming run of fixtures gets pretty close.
The Reds manage to avoid all the sides currently residing in the top eight in the Premier League, right up until the Merseyside Derby on the December 19.
And as if that wasn’t enough, they will have the chance to fill their boots against three of the sides currently situated in the bottom six – Middlesborough, Sunderland and West Ham United.
The question facing Fantasy managers isn’t whether they should have a Liverpool player in their squad, it’s simply a question of who.
For 36.9% of FPL managers, the answer has been Phillipe Coutinho and, with his recent performance in Gameweek 9 against West Bromwich Albion, he has been promoted in our thinking. Coutinho’s stock continues to rise.
But, given his ownership and the options elsewhere in Jurgen Klopp’s midfield, is Coutinho really the stand out option?
In this latest article for members, we will analyse the Opta data to track Coutinho’s progress, attempting to assess whether, with so many strong midfielders on offer, he is truly a player that warrants such popularity.
