Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Spurs

Saturday’s action concludes at Anfield with Liverpool attempting to halt a wretched run in 2017 with victory over fellow title hopefuls Spurs.

From a Fantasy perspective, our focus will mainly be with the visitors, with Dele Alli and Kyle Walker boasting 27.2% and 36.2% ownership respectively. Harry Kane (19%) and Christian Eriksen (15.9%) also go into the tea-time kick-off heavily backed, despite suffering significant sales: Kane was shown the exit by more than 127,000, second only to Liverpool’s Adam Lallana ahead of Gameweek 25.

Jurgen Klopp’s assets have slumped, both in terms of output and popularity with Philippe Coutinho (17.4%) and Lallana (16%) still the top owned on show. The latter is without a goal or an assist in his last five Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I just watched the goal, cant believe its been given to mcauley! Its evans goal, he definiely headed it, whether mcauley got a touch is inconclusive...it should go to the player who definiely touched it

      This. Such a common sense call.

        Both of you need to go to Specsavers.

            No. Some glasses though.

    I haven't seen a Liverpool corner clear the 1st man since Xabi Alonso, absolutely pathetic!

  3. Dr Dream

    Hoping Alli doesn't punish me for selling him.

    No regrets though....Kane will be coming in instead because he feels like a (c) option going forward where Alli never does.

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Expect a brace from him

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe. It won't change the fact that I'll maybe get more pts out of Kane for the run due to a willingness to captain him.

    Who for Sanchez - Barkely or WH mid ? Siggy for one Spurs before GW27

    This isn't going to be an easy game to watch after selling Firmino

    Here's a weird one.

    If you're top 10k and have alli and Eriksen. Do you want Spurs to concede ?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Mass Walker ownership!

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Haha thanks did think so.

        Just felt it's half a CS with two Spurs mids. But I suppose many have alli or Eriksen or both as well.

    So somehow, this littl maybe hairy touch by McAuley overrules Evans strong header? How can they determine who touched it last? Why give the nod to the less clear touch?

  8. wulfrunian

    Do it?

    1. Les Bleus

      Yes

        wait for Costa?

  10. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Yes I have McAuley.

    Now years ago Evans would get that goal. But McAuley touched it. You can see the unnatural loop of the ball into the net. McAuley knows its his as he celebrated. People see what they want to see on replays but think there have been far more controversial decisions in the past.

    People moaning about it, but can definitely see why McAuley was given it.

    The real crimes of FPL are when points are awarded to players where it is mistaken identity which has happened already this season.

    1. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed. I've seen a few assists over the years giben to Lukaku when they've mistaken him for Mirallas or Barkley.

    3. 824545201
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How do you know you're not seeing what you want to see on the replay as a McAuley owner?

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Concentrate on the trajectory and ignore the players... I think the touch is visible and I'm biased in the opposing direction

      2. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Because I can say it how it is. I have eyes. Me having McAuley has nothing to do with it.

      The top sentence says it all

    5. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Is it defiantly staying as his goal?

      I know it was being reviewed.

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think it's still being reviewed.

    6. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Any future question or discussion on the should be refered back to here!

    7. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Hard to tell. Looks like Evans' but pause at 57s and think the angle ball takes from head(s) makes it debateable.

      • Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Check west brom twitter. Even they given him the goal. There is no dicussion

      • JJO
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Could McCauley score that goal from that position with back of his head if there was no Evans hittiing the ball behind him
        Ofcourse he couldnt...so all this is BS..its Evans goal and only an idiot would considered anything different...

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          What an awful argument. Could Sanchez of scored that penalty if Clucas didn't handball it? Then give the goal to Clucas!

          Then you resort to ad hominem attacks...

          1. JJO
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Maybe that wasnt best argument but you cant be sure he touched it,there is no direction change
            If there is a camera view that clearly says he touched it than give the goal to McCauley
            But from all those angles I saw it its Evans header and no change of direction until it hits the net

            1. JJO
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Wel its actualy wasnt that bad argument cause it wasnt shot that was deflected 2 or 10 m after
              If there was deflection it was 2-5 cm after so it actually makes sense

          Mr Okocha, I'm afraid that is ridiculous.

          And I am not an idiot. Thankyou.

      • Shultan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        If you had brunt you're argument would be very different.
        Clear Evans header, whether mcauleys hair touched it is inconculsive...benefit of doubt should go to whoever defo touched it. Not whose hair may or may not have

        1. Shultan

          How mistaken you are.

          I call it how it is.

          I would rather have Brunt than McAuley as it happens but already have three WBA ha

      Any Coutinho owners here? I felt "hipstery" and got him in for Swansea, but has done nothing since his return :/

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Same, regret it. Only thing take makes it worse is supporting them too.

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ex Cout owner Did the same brought him V Swansea, not one of my best decisions until you realise...I did replaced Pogba with Cout, so at least I was consistent.

        Sold him for Siggy because of the FFS hysteria. 😉

        Well now you've learned why hipsters aren't cool

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years

          They do things before they become cool, unfortunately most of things they do don't actually become cool. 🙂

      I think i wouldn't take this so hard but I'm kicking myself for doing ALL the wrong decisions today. Every single one.
      (C) from Sanch to Ibra
      Bench Allen for Phillips
      Bench Grant for Foster

      All last minute decisions. Tough pill to swallow. Maybe this no sugar, no alcohol diet needs to end...

          Meh. I know it happens. Don't really know why tonight it pisses me off so much.

      2. FPLHaggis

        First two justifiable. Latter one a shocker.

    10. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If McAuley does get that goal it'll be no good because I benched him.

      Should have played him over Andy Carroll 🙁

      😉

      best West Ham midfielder to get ?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lanzini

      2. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lanzini imo

        The 3 obvious ones will probably score similarly though

    12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs have been really poor so far

    13. Atimis

      Who for Sanchez for blanks ? 😀

    14. Pep bites Kun

      A team to stay away from for this season both in defense and attack - Southampton?

      TM has Brunt and Mark has McAuley.

        That ML is hotting up.

      Hoping for Stanislas with double digit haul is not too much, is it?

    18. La Roja

      Any reason why Gabbiadini is top transfer in so far? Is there a hidden game somewhere?

        If you go to the FPL site and press his info/fixtures it shows GW25 and then 27 directly below it without any spacing or colour coding to say there's s non-fixture.

        Only thing I can think of

        Keeping

      2. Kun Tozser

        Yeah, to Lukaku. 3 games to 1 likely. Can't see Ibra outscoring Lukaku, even with a minus 4.

      5. WVA
