The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Burnley

The shortened Gameweek 28 comes to a conclusion this afternoon when Liverpool entertain Burnley at Anfield.

With Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho both among the top 10 players transferred in this week, many Fantasy managers will be hoping the Liverpool midfield duo can wreak havoc against a Burnley side that has managed just one clean sheet on their travels this season.

Mane has produced five double-figure hauls at Anfield, helping explain why over 8% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bosses have handed the Senegal international the captain’s armband.

Coutinho, meanwhile, found the back of the net in the 3-1 defeat to Leicester City in Gameweek 26, and slowly looks to be returning to his best form.

Roberto Firmino was also brought in by over 103,000 FPL managers, but the Brazilian has been ruled out due to a knock, with Divock Origi taking his place in the starting XI.

The Reds will have to get past Tom Heaton though, who returns for Burnley after missing the 3-2 defeat to Swansea City due to illness, providing a boost for his 19% ownership in FPL.

Liverpool did, of course, lose 2-0 to the Clarets in the reverse fixture in Gameweek 2, and will be hoping to improve on their dismal record against teams from the bottom half, having lost to Swansea City, Hull City and Leicester over the last six Gameweeks.

    3 point hit for Llorente and 3 point hit for Coutinho. 2 point hit argument is now void

    How is it even possible that Coutinho only has 1 points, Flashscore has him off at 61', can't be a 2 minute gap 😀

                Oh yea can see the reasoning behind that if you put it like that, although I don't really agree with it, a goal scored in 00:40 is also noted as a goal in the first minute so...

      I was thinking this... But if you think about it, Can scored in the 61st minute. Rules say player needs to have played at least 60 minutes to get the point. So it makes sense that cout only gets one point, as frustrating as it is for owners, including me.
