Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Spurs

After Palace and Newcastle shared the spoils at Selhurst Park, we now make our way to Anfield as Liverpool entertain Spurs at 4.30pm.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest is substantial for Sunday’s late encounter, with Golden Boot rivals Harry Kane (17.3%) and Mohamed Salah (13.1%) among the top three captain picks for Gameweek 26.

Kane – who rolls up to Merseyside on the back of nine goals in his last six league starts – has already plundered 16 FPL points against Jurgen Klopp’s troops in a 4-1 home win back in Gameweek 9.

He was handed the armband by 12 of the top 100 FPL managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline, with 19 of those opting for Salah instead.

The Egyptian remains the most consistent source of points in FPL, with a goal or assist in 14 of his last 16 league appearances.

Ominously for Mauricio Pochettino’s team, Salah has delivered double-digits in each of his last two at Anfield as the Reds look to avenge their Wembley mauling.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino is the seventh top armband pick for this round of fixtures, though just 3.2% of managers have backed the Brazilian, who has served up six goals and three assists in his last seven starts.

Like Salah, both Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min were also among the goals in that previous head-to-head and will fancy their chances against a defence that shipped three goals to Man City in their last home match.

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

    This game will be 0-0 to sum up the lowest of low scoring weeks

      I can live with that.

    It's a little bit frustrating that FFS haven't properly tackled the issue of when to play the Free Hit chip.

    Ben Crellin currently favours GW35 and a boomerang strategy. That means we need to start using transfers from here on in with the GW31 blank in mind.

    We need to start thinking about this NOW with our transfers and yet there is no guidance or hot topic or burning question or segment on the scoutcast on this. A lot of people are sleepwalking into a big shock in 31.

      Make your own damn decisions, work it out for yourself!

        We need a discussion on FH GW31 Vs FH GW35, that's all I'm saying.

        If it's 35, like Ben says, we need to start planning now.

      can't be definitive as it's a brand new chip.
      Some have already played it with great success & others as a disaster.
      Until we see fixtures for BGW hard to say.
      Personally was planning for one of the DGWs to allow WC to focus on the other one with bench boost. Last season DGWs offered massive scores. And the 2nd one this year could be effected by rotation of City have won league and clubs European involvement

        After listening to the 3 amigos podcast with Ben this week, GW35 seems the way to go.
