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

        You're making no sense. He has been a defender since gameweek 1. FPL can easily move him to a defending position in the game.

      Perhaps because he started the season as a midfielder and liverpool moved him, but FPL are not into changing players positions mid season.

      I think I'd pay 7.5 for him next season as a defender, so I hope he's valued at 8.0, so that other people spend their money on him, and I can save the money on Bellerin and spend elsewhere! 8.0 never gonna happen though

        I mean I hope lots of people blow a portion of their budgets on an expensive Milner next season. The problem being that I might also be willing to blow a portion of my budget on an expensive Milner if his price is 7.5M or less

      could kinda say the same about the number of mids playing up front in 4-3-3 or wing backs in a 3-5-2.
      players are categorised well before start of season for FPL. So Moreno & Gomez would have seen as Liverpool's 1st & 2nd choice left fullback
