Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Swansea City

Gameweek 22 gets underway this Saturday lunchtime as Liverpool welcome basement-dwellers Swansea City to Anfield at 12.30pm.

Subject to more transfers in than any midfielder in FPL last week, Philippe Coutinho is handed a first league start since Gameweek 13.

The Brazilian has three double-figure hauls in his last five home starts and faces up to a defence that’s conceded at least three goals in seven of the previous nine Gameweeks.

Adam Lallana, with a goal or assist in six of his seven home starts, is another one to watch, though Coutinho’s return could also spark Roberto Firmino back into life. The latter bagged a goal and assist against the Swans earlier in the season and is set to return to the “false 9” role against Paul Clement’s strugglers.

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

        My knees weren't that strong to hold on to it. I used my key to unlock my team and went with the obvious captain.
        That's why I hate late changes

      It's not about balls, it was sensible to avoid. Yeah, Swansea concede goals, but he has blanked so much as of late that it's entirely reasonable to not want to risk captaincy with him.

      asked this above.
      always a risk he might come on as a sub but surely worth a punt if you have a reasonable 4th def to come off bench?
      can't do any worse than having Amat there
