Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Liverpool

Gameweek 17 delivers one last match for Fantasy managers as Everton entertain Liverpool in the first Merseyside derby of the season.

Adam Lallana arrives at Goodison as the most sought-after target in Fantasy Premier League last week – over 290,000 drafted him in on the back of a 19-point haul at Middlesbrough.

Divock Origi was the number one forward for transfers in ahead of Gameweek 17 – the Liverpool frontman has recovered from a knock and is looking to score for the fifth successive Gameweek.

In terms of FPL captains, Romelu Lukaku and Sadio Mane are the two most popular picks for tonight’s match.

The big Belgian has struggled for form, though, failing to earn points in five of his previous six league outings.

Although he’s flourished at Anfield, Mane has disappointed on the road, serving up six blanks in eight road trips.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino – the third most transferred out ahead of Gameweek 17 – will be looking to stop the fire sale and end a run of five straight blanks against a defence with just a single clean sheet in 12 attempts.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Firmino does not get into goal scoring positions for me. Too much out on the wings. Until he gets back in the false 9 position he is not worth the money IMO.

          He is shooting from too far out or when Liverpool are trying clever moves. Look at Mane - just runs into the centre of the box and tries to get on the end of it.

              Yeah I did. And I saw Firmino on the edge of the box, picking up the ball near the half way line and sometimes playing one-twos with Milner down the left wing. Yes he had some good chances, but as I said they were the result of some clever moves which don't often come off. Compare to Mane - he is always in and around the penalty spot, does not drop deep and is direct in running towards goal.

              He was no where near scoring? Clearly Countinho or Mane, maybe llalana, but Firmino?

        Played false 9 tonight. Had the 3 best chances and if the ball bounced off the right of the post instead of the left it would have been his goal instead of Mane's

          Problem with Firmino is there is a lot of 'ifs'. With Mane there is no 'ifs'. Two of his chances were clever moves which don't often come off. Mane much better - just direct and plays like a striker who wants to get in the box.
