Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Everton

Gameweek 30 begins in a cauldron of a Merseyside derby.

Anfield provides the venue as Liverpool host Everton, providing Fantasy managers with an opening fixture of huge significance.

Romelu Lukaku heads into this contest as the top owned asset in Fantasy Premier League, as part of 47.2% of squads. The Belgian has nine goals in his last six and has scored in each of his last four – irresistible form that will surely stretch a Liverpool defence that has rarely looked assured this season.

But Jurgen Klopp’s charges have their own key Fantasy assets on show.

The Premier League’s top scorers with 61, they were boosted by the recent transfer traffic ahead of Gameweek 28, with the Reds attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho still established as hugely popular figures.

Owned by 17.7% of FPL managers, Coutinho has proved a bitter disappointment of late, with just a single goal from his last 11 Premier League outings. Meanwhile, Firmino has rewarded his 9.9% ownership with just one goal in six. That leaves Mane carrying the major expectations as Liverpool’s top scoring FPL asset – he has produced three goals in his last five Gameweeks and is backed by 23.6% ahead of today’s clash.

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

    Which striker do we think has the best fixture for midweek?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1. nkhoughton

      1. nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not a tough fixture for Ibra?

        Vardy home to Sunderland looks tempting

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          not against that Eve defence

        2. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy imo

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

    I'm not normally doing well compared to others on here so, 27 points already 😎

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        coutinho Mane cap, Kaku

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Unlucky on captain

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        look on the bright side, 6 is better than 2 😛

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          That's true, not a bad score just unlucky he didn't get more...i am an owner also & super disappointed as he was sure to get another goal or assist + baps!

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            don't get me wrong I would have loved more. I needed it as well 🙁

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Relative - better than kaku 🙂

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Kaku was bad today... Didn't look like a £60m striker at all

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers - didn't see it, just had it on the radio.
            Pundits were talking about lack of service to him ..

  4. Son of Rambo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Don't tell me Mane misses out on a bonus point over one BPS... looks like they're finalised

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And because of a Williams 'assist' that never was an assist.

  5. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Koeman too busy thinking up his tweet to Martin O'Neill last night 😛

  6. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mane to Cout or Tadic?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cout I think.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen/Alli ahead of Cout

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mikhy

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'll keep an eye out today

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

      Coutinho if you have Sanchez & Alli/Eriksen.

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I do have Sanch and Alli

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Have Vardy for one more week

        Not sure if I want any Leicester after that

  7. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mane to Coutinho?

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Delle Alli hatrick coming up

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      preach it!

  9. Lav
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Early signs point to Mane + Aguero to Sanchez + Origi/Costa (-4)

  10. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is Mane definitely out midweek?

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

      Probably but no news yet

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm

    3. Numb

      Not yet

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Praying he's fit, would cap him vs Bournemouth

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Did you see him collapse in agony. I'd guess so

    5. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  11. Dreams
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Doubled on spurs defence with Davies and Walker. Epic double up backfired badly.

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Could be gold from next week.

      1. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It was the plan. Didn't expect a pepesque rotation from Poch.

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Walker played twice over the break. Trippier fully rested. No need for Trippier to play in any other games apart from the odd PL game. Trippier vs his old club AND trippier is actually very good.

          It's not pepesque rotation. It was fairly predictable rotation, and sensible rotation from Pochy

    Where have all the funny people on FFS gone?

        Sorting the comments by rating not as exciting anymore

      Get modded off eventually. Used to be some very funny posters on here

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

      where's Ayew Serious and Epic Fail gone?

    4. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm here. Don't worry.

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      This is a serious forum, for serious people, we'll have no fun here!

  13. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Carroll always scores v Arsenal right?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Usually

  14. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If Mane is out thinking Coleman and Mane to Davies and Sanchez (C), thoughts?

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until tomorrow evening. But good transfers.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years

        Thanks

    2. gunthourinho
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You should have got rid of Coleman ages (days) ago. I personally would not trust Sanchez or Arsenal for the rest of the season. Too turbulent.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not trust Sanchez 😆

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I was already on a -4 and had value on him so only took one of his drops, will get him out this week for sure though

    Peter Reid is drunk

    1. Jay_

        Looks like he's just come out of a wake

        1. boc610
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Ha yeah a two dayer that he left at 1130 today

      • Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I thought that as well

      • Fred54
        • 9 Years

        That new hair do isn't fooling anyone is it....

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      Anyway of finding out stats in top 100?
      Looking for how many have played their WCs

      1. Kalou
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Go through them 1by1:)

    3. F4L

      Costa's long overdue red card is happening today

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hope so. Elephant man is due

      2. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Yeah it's a worry as captainer

      3. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        You spelled hattrick wrong.

    4. Goodricke
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Smooth = So far my Lukaku to Vardy has worked.
      Rough = Son dropped means that my AOA chip has been wasted.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He'll come on so it's not wasted

    5. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Carra: "today's the day that Coutinho's came back"

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        nah, today was the day he was matched up against a toddler. He'll be back to being sh*te midweek

      2. red devil 7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thought he came back 2-3 days ago

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          😆

    6. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1 player played, 6 points, so far so good.

    7. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      alli or couts if mane is out???

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Alli seems a must. If chasing Cout

      2. Smoky Johnson
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Alli.

    8. niloh1
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      guys please help
      a) sell mane & coutinho for sanchez & king (-4)
      b) sell mane & coutinho & defoe for sanchez, pedro, llorente/gabby (-8)
      c) sell mane & coutinho & defoe for sanchez, tadic, llorente (-8)

      1. gunthourinho
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Why take a hit at all? Just do one transfer. Dump Mane for someone else. Don't bother trying to get Sanchez in, aint worth it.

      2. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Keep Coutinho at home to BOU surely. 4-2 written all over it

    9. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mane and Kun -> Alexis and Ibra (-4) looks good as things stand?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        seems the norm

    10. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cout only had two shots!

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Both on target. With BOU up next he's a great captaincy option

    11. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Is Vardy going to have a party?

      1. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Got the invite so looks incline to happen.

      2. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Depends.

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

        in the dressing room....after his RC

      4. red devil 7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        no claudio, no party

      5. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely the most interesting 15.00 game for me. Don't own Vardy, but most transferred in this gameweek and fairly high captaincy.

      6. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I really really hope so

      7. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes and on the day I misplaced my invite...

    12. RubberDucky
        7 years, 1 month ago

        So out of 10 how happy should I be with my Mane as captain decision?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          6, could have been better but he didn't blank.

        2. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          6

        3. Numb
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          7

        4. Crouching Tiger
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          4

        5. justmatt
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          6.5... Better than a blank but single goal and no bonus isn't great.

      • boc610
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Koeman proud of that ??:)

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          His tweet did well and Everton injured a few, good few days indeed.

      • Crouching Tiger
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        So my transfer plans maybe shifting to Mane, Aguero -> Sanchez, Vardy....

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I thought the same about Davies and Walker double up. Good luck.

        2. Tired and weary
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Exact same here depending on Vardy performance v Stoke, Zlat is the only other contender

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Baines ➡ Valencia for a hit, looks like its going to pay off

        1. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You know the Utd game has not started yet, right?

        2. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          The game hasn't even started lol. WBA will score, bookmark this

      • Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes or no minus 12

        Siggy>Sanchez
        Sane> Ward Prose
        Defoe>Gab or Negredo
        Costa> Vardy
