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.

      Do those averages include bps?

      McAuley getting a BAP

      Talk about rubbing salt into the injury

    Sanchez to Barkley?

    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Phillips, Carroll
    Lukaku, Ibra, Costa

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      yumyum. Would prefer Sanchez to Haz

    2. PvA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't

  2. PvA

    What would you do with 1ft and 2m ITB?
    This is how it looks next week:

    Heaton
    Luiz, Coleman, Brunt, Holebas
    Sigurdsson, Barkley, Phillips, de Roon
    Kane, Defoe

    Pickford, Ibra, Sanchez, Amat

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      decent but a tad ropey

      1. PvA
        • 7 Years

        What you mean?

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          that midfield is struggling and strike force. Lots of high ownership players who could hurt you next week

    2. Viper

      Holebas - > Maguire?

  3. Ram.sey Coq.uel.in

    Surely someone has to be answerable for this brunt/McCauley situation, it's ridiculous, and makes a complete mockery of the game. Maybe I should start my own fpl and just completely disallow everyone else's points apart from players in my team, seems like that's the rule on here.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      calm down, decision was made by Opta not FPL towers

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      McAuley has been awarded the goal by the most reliable sources in football (Opta, sky, bbc)

      Not FPLs fault

      1. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thought Chris Kamara was the most reliable source ?

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Haha, yeah right

    3. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Haha.Not seen it so cant comment,but saw some of the comments on twitter to Fpl which were amusing.

  4. PvA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    50 with Siggy, Luiz and Heaton to go... green?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on what those 3 score.

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years

      no

  5. niko mate

    2. FPL Virgin

      Thanks m8

    3. Tinzelbat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yea and they still haven't changed brunt to an assist wtf is going on in was at the game and Evans scored the goal this is a total joke

  6. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    60 pts with Heaton and Costa to go

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      lit m8, whens the celebration party?

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nice score

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years

        Thanks, what's yours? 😛

    You Legend - 2 Baps 🙂 🙂

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      benched again, but at least his value is ascending.

  8. Ram.sey Coq.uel.in
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How can this game have any credibility with decisions like this one today

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Imagine you bet on Evans to score.

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Clattenberg had Sanchez (C) in his FPL team

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lukaku's goal was worse. And when they gave the assist to a wrong player in a Swans game, cant remember who it was tho

  9. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Best option?

    A) Sanchez & Ibra ➡ Hazard & Costa

    B) Sanchez & Alli/Eriksen ➡ Hazard & Mane (Bench Ibra & start Mee/Chambers)

    C) Ibra & Alli/Eriksen ➡ Costa & Mane (Bench Sanchez & start Mee/Chambers)

    Leaning towards A as Spurs could shift 3-4-2-1 soon, Vertonghen is back in light training and Poch knows that was working better.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B for me, would want to keep Ibra

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Costa's favourite opponent is Swansea.

      2. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A.But Mane instead of Hazard.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A for me

  10. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    46 with heaton, alonso and siggy left. looks pretty average but you never know

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same. My eyes are on next week too though. Plenty of teams not set up for blanks

  11. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Going ibra over Sanchez proved costly. That last minute pen was such a kick in the nuts

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just like Burnley at home.

      Extremely fortunate given he's probably 4th choice penalty taker

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'd have loved it if I'd captained him. Fine margins though

      2. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That hurt as well. I've been trying to lift my crappy rank by going with other captains in hopes of Sanchez flopping around. My plan was sound, as he has been off form, but then enter all the nonsense.........

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah it's costed me a lot of points today.

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And the first goal a hand slap in the face

    4. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      In the nine seasons I've been playing this game, I don't think I've ever seen a haul that was so fortunate. I would be laughing so hard if I was one of the captainers, because that's some top notch points wankery.

  12. Viper
    • 14 Years

    Grant got a bp 🙂

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Coleman just missed out on 3 🙁

  13. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez >>

    A - Mane (lei/ARS/potential blank)
    B - Hazard (SWAN/wh/potential blank)
    C - Lanzini (wat/CHE/bou)

    Currently have 7 players for GW28

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

  14. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Just not long got back from the match what a result just hope we can actually kick on from it now, 50 pts with Alonso,Costa,Hazard & Llorente left to play what am I looking at red or green?

    1. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      could be a green

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers let's hope.

        1. Arn De Gothia

          im on 61 with siggy and alonso to, im ready for a red 🙁

  15. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years

    Just twigged that 30% own McAuley!! The goal he never scored is going to hurt my rank.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. He's a git with ownership

    McAuley with a bonus point he truly deserved. Well played lad

      pish off..

    2. Syd.

      Go eat a box of Daz

      That should wash your mouth out thoroughly 🙂

  17. white lightning
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I just got up. What controversy are we talking about on here. Currently on 44 with Alonso & Siggy (c) to go. Also as a Jones owner & missing out in his recent cs's sucks.

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      McAuley got the last touch after Evans headed the ball towards goal and it has upset some people

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A not noticeable touch to be fair to those complaining, I've seen the goal!

  18. willgriggsonfire
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all!
    Had pretty average last few GWs.
    This GW it was:
    Grant
    Alonso Brunt Baines
    San(c)hez Eriksen Philips Snodgrass Stanislas
    Kane Lukaku
    Heaton McAuley Gray Jones

    Don't want to ditch both Eriksen and Kane as they have really good upcoming fixtures.
    Guys, any suggestions kindly appreciated.

  19. Vinyl78LP
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Six stoke players awarded baps, Grants gets one for make ONE save - wtf?

  20. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    29 points with 2 to play. That's less than Sanchez captainers who only fielded 3 players this week 🙁

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Many did this GW, although played Brunt over McAuley, now hoping Stanislas doesn't play on Monday...

  21. b✪mber
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I'm happy with the Evans 3 pointer. 6 would have been even better (duh), but with Mirallas in my team and both Sanchez and Ibra I got more pressing matters and things to worry about than this.

    I feel I've been lucky picking captains for the past 5GW - win some, lose some.

    1. vectorman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty much the same with me, have to confess I'm on a lucky streak with captain picks because my mids have totally been misfiring generally. Also have Mirallas, getting away with murder in this game is jolly good fun ain't it 😀

      1. b✪mber
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        yeah, at least I don't have Holebas coming from the bench (got the order right/lucky).

        Whats up with Kevin - do we know the reason behind his absence?

        1. vectorman
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Lookman preferred by the seems of things, was always a gamble I suppose. He'll be hanging around in my squad for a few more weeks yet quite possibly too

          1. b✪mber
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            yeah. I'm leaning towards keeping him as well, but owning him is getting frustrating I must admit. GW28 obviously blurring our vision.

  22. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Here's my team for next week. 2fts with 2.8m in the bank

    Jaku

    Coleman Alonso Brunt McAuley (Amat)

    Siggy Phillips Alli Capoue (Sanchez)

    Carroll Kane (Ibra)

    Thoughts?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'd get rid of either Sanchez or Ibra for Hazard or Costa

      1. mir
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Which one though? I'm actually considering both for a hit. Think it'll payoff in the next game alone let alone the next three.
        Saying that I got Sanchez earlier so will be difficult to get him back.

  23. vardys party
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I used to think owning lowly owned players is good in FPL as you get points others don't. Today though, the highly owned Mcauley was given a goal and taking points from lower owned Brunt/Evans. So, is it actually the case that where they can get away with it, FPL give points to higher owned players? Only reason for doing this though would be to ensure more players be happy with the extra ghost points.

    So, might make sense in future not to go for differentials, higher owned players are more likely to be gifted points.

    1. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not inclined to think it would work like that. Coincidence at best, IMO.

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The reason McAuley got the goal was because the ball touched him last. Nothing to do with ownership

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I hope they super slo-mo it because I can't see the touch!

  24. Peggi
    • 10 Years

    make that 446 points from my captains this season 😎

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Smashing it.

      1. Peggi
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        all my other decisions have been rubbish this season though, captain picks have kept me going

    2. b✪mber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      buy some lottery tickets by the end of the season - lady luck is on your side.

    3. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Well done. I was on a strong captain's run for a bit this season. It was a great time to be alive! Not so much since that well dried up, unfortunately. May get my worst rank ever this season. Awesome!

  25. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    ADVICE:
    Team: Heaton (Grant)
    Baines Brunt Alonso Coleman Mee
    Alli Siggy Morrison Snoddy (Sanchez)
    Lukaku (Jesus Ibra)

    A) Leave it as it is
    B) Costa in for Ibra
    C) Mane in for Sanchez
    D) Mane and Costa in for Sanchez and Ibra

    Still not convinced that Hazard is worth the price and before that goal vs Arsenal that was the general consensus.

  26. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How many points for these 3?
    Hazard + Siggy + Stanislas(7 autosub)

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      4 (with 2 RCs)

    2. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      10 points

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      13

    4. b✪mber
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      20 (16+2+2)

  27. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Actually even FPL and Brunt aside in any normal football match there's no way anyone would take the goal off Evans. BBC, Sky or whoever, if that was Ibra, Sanchez or even Shearer in his day there's no way they'd accept that decision. And I think the powers that be wouldn't go there anyway..... Shocking.... in my opinion!

  28. paza12

    Worth doing Carroll to Gabbiadini? Or wait till injury status of Carroll? Cheers.

    1. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years

      Gabbiadini blanks next week

  29. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which should I sell first?

    A) Sanchez
    B) ibra

    Ibra has Bournemouth after his blank at home

    Why is everyone doing Sanchez to hazard when both have blanks??

    I have Sanchez and Ibra blanking next week. Paid 11.2 currently he's 11.8 how much will he fall between now and say week 29?
