Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Stoke City

Gameweek 18 rolls on this evening as Liverpool welcome Stoke to Anfield in a 5.15pm kick-off.

Owned by over 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Sadio Mane’s home form suggests he’s the man most likely to wreak havoc against the Potters – the Senegal international has scored or assisted in six of seven Anfield appearances since arriving from Southampton over the summer.

Divock Origi, with goals in all but one of the last five Gameweeks, retains his starting berth, with Jurgen Klopp set to unleash Daniel Sturridge from the bench once again.

Roberto Firmino also keeps his place as he attempts to end a run of six straight blanks.

For the Potters, Joe Allen is the form player – he’s bagged a goal and assist in the last three Gameweeks as he prepares to face his former club for the first time since moving to the bet365.

Between the posts, Lee Grant has produced at least one save point in each of the last four and should be kept busy again as the hosts look for the win that would see them leapfrog Man City into second.

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

    Klopp gives Mane an earful. What does he expect from a mere mortal defending against Pieters

    Just read some Deluded Brendan and stumbled to this:

    http://itsgoneviral.com/world-soccer-magazines-10-exciting-teenagers-2007/

    Shows how good these "pundits" are at predicting stuff.

    Although, many scouts fail this way too.

    What's your U18 top10 now? I bet half of it fails to become anything great.

    Adam Lallana keeps proving me wrong. Well played to those who have had him.

    Liverpools fixtures not the best but does that matter given Lallana's price?

    1. Hakchak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why I got him in a few weeks ago, at his price it's a no brainer!

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Coutinho isn't that much more expensive though.

    3. *sigh*

      Depends if you can raise extra cash for someone like Alli by downgrading elsewhere.Dont think there's much better elsewhere in that price bracket though.

      I've tried playing the fixtures lately and been burnt...

      I think it's all about form this season.

      Sunderland and Swansea could be profitable
