Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Liverpool

After just four goals in the afternoon matches, we could feasibly beat that in the final kick-off as West Ham host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Having won this game 4-0 last season, the Reds will be heavily fancied to run out victors again, particularly after the revelation that Sadio Mane is fit to return to their starting XI.

The Senegalese gets the nod, with Daniel Sturridge dropping out of Liverpool’s front three to make way. Elsewhere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earns a first Premier League start in midfield.

However, it’s fair to say that the main focus will be on Mohamed Salah who goes into this contest with five goals from his ten Gameweeks, backed by almost two million owners and with 250,000+ trusting him with the captaincy.

West Ham’s Fantasy assets have long been in decline. Chicharito remains by far their most popular asset, figuring in 13.1% of squads, though he has lost 384,000 owners in the last four Gameweeks.

With injuries and suspensions at the back, it’s expected that they will struggle to repel Jurgen Klopp’s charges.

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

    No points for Firmino... Well, at least I know for certain he will start. That post match interview from Klopp is gold.

      Rebounds
      If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.

      Does this mean Firmino will get an assist?

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No chance. The first shot rebounded off keeper, scored second shot, therefore no assist.

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

          See above. Copied straight off FPL help page. That's why I'm confused.

          1. Gianfranco Zola
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Ox would get the assist in this scenario. But since he scored the goal, no assist.

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

              Oh I see, it has to be a different player earning the "rebound". I read it as a player can have a shot saved but then score from the rebound and the assisting player still earns the assist.

          2. Deano
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Did you watch the game? Firm passed it to Ox whose first shot was saved and he scored from that rebound.

          3. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            If Firmino had taken the shot and Ox would have put away the deflection first time, it would have been a Firmino assist.

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

              See above, I get it now. Shame - desperate Firmino owner 🙂

          4. Monkey Hanger
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Firmino passed it to Ox. If Ox had scored with the first shot it would of been an assist. He didn't, it rebounded back to himself, then he scored. No assist.

      Go for Tarkowski if you’re getting a Burnley def.

  9. Patch
    • 6 Years

    Those on the WC gl finding the risers like Kane, Salah, Murray and ditch the drops like Cedric, Foster

    TM look forward to the price changes!!!!

  10. JogaSemmedo

    If you own both but captained Salah over Kane say aye!

    Damnit, should've done Kola to Burnley defence 🙁

  12. El_Shaw

    Selling Foster for Pope feels so good. Avoided drop and hopefully benefit from the rise of the Pope.

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

      Hmm pope and mee maybe risers...

  13. CFC96
    • 6 Years

    barring injury, id be surprised if a week comes were i ship out salah, kane or even lukaku with the fixtures. Salah and kane definitely set and forget

  14. Stockport Hatter
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I know there's an ib but early thoughts on this with 1ft and 0.2 ITB

    Speroni
    Mee Jones Azpi Daniels
    DSilva Sane Hazard Richarlison Salah
    Kane

    Elliot Duffy Abraham Diouf

  15. CloudSky

    Fonte out till 2018.

  16. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Vardy + Jesus + Ryan to Abraham + Lukaku(C) + DDG(-4)

    Yes or No for later?..

  17. Meltens
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How long is Heaton out for approximately? Wouldn’t want to bring in Pope just to switch him out after a week.

    Fab - Elliot combo not exactly pulling up trees.

  18. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you pick for medium-term?

    A. Sane
    B. Sterling

    1. Urchin
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Both....
      Sane if no place for the other

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Both means no Salah. Too risky to go without Salah.

  19. Urchin
    • 10 Years

    Which country Ben Mee plays for? Any chance of him getting injured over the IB..?
    Will get him stat if no

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Not very classy to wish injury on a player?

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

        Sorry Urchin I misread your message. Im not sure if he does play for anyone, dont think so. You should be fine to purchase him!

        1. Urchin
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers mate... Ignore my response below then 🙂

      2. Urchin
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Oh... I guess u misunderstood...
        Nowhere i 'wish' an injury on him... I plan to get him in my team instead...
        Just wanted to know if he will be playing any international matches during the coming weeks...
        Which will make him more prone to injury than say not playing in a competitive match...

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      English but he's good so doesn't get picked. You're safe to sign him

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Safe to get him
