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

    Might try to save FT so I have 2 for GW20 and make 5 transfers to overhaul the team completely. See what Willy Wonka thinks about that.

    Capoue & McAuley to De Roon & Bertrand (-4).

    Foster Jaku
    Lovren Morgan Pieters Holebas Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Eriksen Siggy Fletcher
    Costa Kane Origi

    I feel the biggest money raiser is obviously midfield. I can probably bank enough to improve the defence in coming weeks. But with the fixtures this week for Hazard and Sanchez it probably can't be them.

    So who would you remove?

    A) Lovren
    B) Morgan
    C) Eriksen
    D) Siggy
    E) Other (?)

        Thank you, sounds right. I hate playing the WC early but I'm feeling I may have to in January. Would you?

            Tough call, team look pretty solid -- Eriksen had good stats this week and was unlucky not to score.

      Kosc needs to go given how much money you have in def
      Downgrade Capoue to save money, play Chadli or upgrade.
      Defoe & Lukaku aren't good options right now but that's more my opinion, others would disagree about Defoe.

        Only issue I have about selling Kosc is I have held on to him during a rough period of fixtures and now he has a lovely lot of fixtures right through to February.

    Pickford
    Alonso Valencia Holebas (Amat Cedric)
    Sanchez Hazard Mane Pogba Siggurdson
    Ibrahimovic Origi (Anichebe)

        Toby is out. Either Azpilicueta or Valencia in. Have a feeling Chelsea will be grinding results for awhile, but Valencia looks tempting.

      Why the hell would you dump Toby. Jesus what kind of season is this, it's like people need addiction rehab to stop this knee jerk transferring.

        Why the hell would I pay that much to keep a guy whose fixtures turn south and who has back problems? I rolled the dice on him and got 6 points in two weeks. Moving on.

          Fixtures turn south? They have three difficult defensive games thru to the end of April... And he had a minor back problem so he was rested because he had just come in from an injury and he's there most important defender. He played the ENTIRE season last year, he's not exactly injury prone.

    Does not make sense that with only Lallana today that my GW rank drops from 1.2 mil to 1.8 mil and a green arrow goes red (I think).
    Is Mane / Lovern etc ownership for this amount of GW rank change?
