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.

    Keeper error again IMO. Unbelievable. So many do that little hop step before a shot to try to "react quickly" when they hit the ground, only to mistime it and watch the ball go to the back of the net.

      Mignolet is an error

        I know. I think I'd rather be playing myself than watching so I criticize instead!

        You probably did better than had you made the changes, based on what I'm reading on this very site.

      Kane top o' the baps. Alli in second. I can dig it. Stay the course lads.

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

      With BAPs and auto sub I may just beat my nemesis this week, we are on par with total points...

      If Cout scores then I lose...

    7. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      How is Alli on 36 baps, Salah on 21 baps

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 7 Years

        Liv player.

        1. Gw287
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Salah lives offside

    8. Woy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

      So its an eriksen goal with a mignolet assist

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        ...except it's an Alli goal...with no assist 😐

    9. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      No Eriksen assist?

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No assists off rebounds except off the GK

    10. AF90
      • 11 Years

      Sold Alli for Sterling. Don't own Kane. Still have Firmino. Don't know what I'm doing anymore.

      Would welcome another Kane goal and chuck another Salah goal in there for good measures! Take me to the 60 mark please

    13. Dr. DOOM
      • 6 Years

      So no Eriksen assist.

    15. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      FPL should change the way it gives assists

      Absolutely RIDICULOUS

            Don't own Eriksen, do you?

        • Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          If that is an Eriksen assist then we should just close the shop

          Ritchie for the Perez goal last week was much more an assist than this, but just because Perez needed two shots to score it cancelled it

          Still, there was more assist intention in that Ritchie pass than Eriksen's FK

          Yeah. They never strengthened their defence and it's nice to see that being punished.

        Okay so this is my team for next week:

        1FT 0.1 ITB and No WC

        Elliot
        Kola Azpu Davies
        Hazard Eriksen Richarlison Bakyako
        Kane Jesus Diouf

        Subs: DDG Romeu Simpson Mbemba

        Opinions please, I feel like all the changes I make bite me in the ass and the casuals just rake it in with no changes made! Thanks guys

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I was eyeing up Diouf...like that pick.

          I'd dump Davies...not convinced by Bakayoko

        2. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Dont use the word casual. Your a casual as well

      7. Norrin Radd
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Anyone got a better defence than mine? :
        Davies = benched
        Cresswell = benched
        Clark = benched
        Jones = 1pt
        Also have Monreal 🙂
        But still, lots of issues to sort out.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        bellerin got an assist for a monreal gol that was similar to allis goal, strange

            6 years, 7 months ago

            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Good I think - average is up 11 from this game therefore 13 is above average

        3. Maddamotha
          • 7 Years

          Eriksen is the top midfield scorer, I bring him in, has nothing from 3 Spurs goals at half time.

          Yeah.

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…

          Question.

          If I play Free Hit this week, would I still get the extra free transfer (so 2 free transfers) for the week after?
