The Dugout Discussion – West Bromwich Albion vs Liverpool

In the first of two Easter Sunday fixtures, we drop by the Hawthorns at 1.30pm as West Bromwich Albion entertain Liverpool.

Unsurprisingly, Jurgen Klopp recalls both Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino after both emerged from the bench to grab a goal apiece in the 2-1 win at Stoke last weekend.

Coutinho’s strike – his third in as many matches – made him the sixth most transferred in player for Gameweek 33, with over 89,000 new owners.

In light of the Brazilian’s recent output, it’s no surprise to learn that the he is the most captained player for today’s early kick-off, with 77,887 FPL managers handing him the armband.

As the only team without a Gameweek 34 fixture, sales of the Baggies main men are likely to escalate over the next few days.

Indeed, both Ben Foster and Gareth McAuley are the top-ranked keeper and defender for transfers out since yesterday, with over 8,000 FPL managers already ditching the latter.

After being withdrawn before the hour-mark in each of the last two league fixtures, the McAuley exodus was well underway last week, with over 44,000 FPL managers drafting out the centre-half ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

      Was away to give you a plus 1 then you did that to Bobby! My sky cup game probably rests on a haul from him!

        Sorry man, but hey Coutinho can go nuts 😀

          Have one for the apology! lol. Certainly Cout is explosive enough to get a haul!

    Lukaku owners sell him at your peril.

    Sndersland who havent scored for ages has scored 2 goals against westham this gw

    What makes you so sure lukaku will not do well against westham who he has a great scoring record against ?

    1. Sims

      Of we want to talk about records look at lukakus recent away record. Far more relevant

        U dig?

          You're replying to your own comments with that lame line now? 😆

            Forgot to add it in the first place my bad

    2. McEwan

      his ownership makes it a good risk reward choice. I'm aware it take a hit if he does exceptionally well, but how many times will you captain him between now and the end of the season? That's what makes him available for transfer!

    3. Individual
      • 10 Years

      Agree with OP

      Look at this http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romelu-lukaku/bilanz/spieler/96341

      Sort 'Record vs..?' then click on goals scored against. He loves playing West Ham - it's in my head that he'll always score v. them, and I capt him any time I can haha - think I got a goal or something for the reverse fixture with Kaku (c).

      Keeping for 34. Reluctantly shipping in 35 for Kane. Think that's a decent swap.

      7 years, 2 months ago

      Is he?...Looks good to me most of the time.

      He could do to find his shooting boots again though and maybe the fwds might be kind enough to stop turning into rubbish every time he creates a chance.
