Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Liverpool

After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.

All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.

Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.

Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.

Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.

For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.

And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    No manager deserves the sack more than Klopp. How can anyone think Moreno deserves to start for any PL club, let alone Liverpool.

      And Lovren

      Moreno has been good this season...Lovren needs to go

        6 years, 7 months ago

        He's good at attacking. But Robertson is better. And Robertson and Milner are both better defenders

    How does a front 3 of Jesus, Kane & Aguero sound? West Brom can't defend and Man U could get kanned without Jones.

      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus and Kun won’t end well.

        Pep played Jesus & Kun together before the IB, no reason why he won't again

    As a Kane non-owner and non-capper, do I want him to score more?

    1. Les Bleus

      🙂

      Liverpool getting smashed is always fun.

      I’m in the same situation. A bit confused. Kane 12 pointer as it stands. Should be ok. Not many captainers.

      Definitely yes, I should think. Not a popular captain choice at all for this week.

    Thanks.

    And I was thinking of getting Moreno

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I did get him.

    2. Business Cat

      • 9 Years

      ...half an hour ago seemed like a good idea 🙂

      Really don't know what to do with my WC. Guess Kane has to stay... Stick to first principles, quality players who are nailed on in their position. Kane and Lukaku??

      Well Done Eriksen and Alli owners.9.5m well spent...

        5-1 conservative estimate of score here the way things are going.

        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        People saying Keita going to shore up Liverpool. Have you seen his goal stats?

        17 in 59 for Salzburg and 9 in 35 for Leipzig. He is just an upgrade on Wijnaldum. Where is the proper defensive midfielder Liverpool need?

        1. UshFPL
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Although I agree with your point, your logic that just because he scores means he won't help defensively makes no sense.

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            This

        2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Why does being able to score make him defensively poor?

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

          Keita will add the bite in midfield that Liverpool badly need

        When you look at your total score and then release your VC who is going to be your C isn't having his points doubled yet. :>

      7. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        The best strategy with premium forwards is gonna be stick with what you have imo. Theres no point chasing points and the likes of Kane, Morata, Lukaku, Aguero and Jesus will all likely score 20 goals plus this year.

      8. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Sold Kane on my wildcard with the intention to get him back in a couple of weeks. In hindsight I wonder why, especially since I sold him for Morata. Just my fault though, should have gone with my guts and not the fixtures

        Excellent analysis by Redknapp

        'Good from Spurs' point of view, poor from Liverpool's point of view'

      10. Fred54

        Kane hasn't done anything in 10 mins. FAIL.

        Just because he is there, and why the hell not, how much would Diego Maradona be (in his pomp) in FPL?

        1. UshFPL
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          0 as he never played in the premier league

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kane only owned by 35% in the top 10k

        10% captains

        1. TFP
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          As in 3.5% of the total, or actually 10%?

      15. Sim Simma
