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

      Never do it at the last minute. Change it with plenty of time left.

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years

        actually did it an hour before deadline but not as dramatic that

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Really doesn’t matter when he changed it though, if he changed from Salah to Kun then the end result is the same!

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          This. Feelings are irrelevant, you make the most informed decision a second before th deadline.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      Similar but changed it one day before

    3. borat

      Changed at the last minute from Wilson to salah. Delighted.
      😆

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Always do it in the last minute. Change it when there's almost no time left.

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      As I've mentioned a 1000s times was tempted to change from Aguero to Kane...would have slightly paid off in this low scoring week.

  2. FootballFanatic365

    6 years, 4 months ago

    my god that stupid pen (ist one) from kane
    kane (c) was gonna be so sweet. anyways
    46 + alonso . average week

  3. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    52 with Alonso to go, seems decent.

    Gutted as a Liverpool fan.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      i'm on a similar score with same player left .. decent score I reckon

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Anything above 50 with 1tp is great.

    3. sunzip14

      71 with Alonso

      1. Nomar

        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Nice.

      27 😎

  4. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Am I the only person who saw clear contact for the first penalty? Was offside though.

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Forget contact, it was a dive.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        BUt it was also a pen

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Would like to hear your thoughts if it was a Man U player.

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      There was a bit of contact which means he won't get banned. Still a dive and a cheat though.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Its the Lovren touch that played him on

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        First pass was intended for him though when he was in an offside position, so is offside at the point of the pass being made. Otherwise all strikers would just stand in front of the goalie for the whole match and hope for deflected passes.

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          You're just making up rules now.

        2. A Betting Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          An intentional touch (interception attempt) cancels out an offside.

    4. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It doesn’t matter. He was yard offside and ref missed it

    5. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It wasn't offside. Lovren intercepted, that's the rules.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He didn't intercept it, he deflected it, or have I been watching a different sport for the last 30 years?

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          A couple of years ago a new guideline over offsides was given to the refs. If a player intentionally makes contact with the ball, it cancels out the offside. Lovren was clumsy, end of.

        2. Ghost Gooner
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          New rule says a player has to be affecting play. Kane was not doing anything to distract/obstruct Lovren. No offside

        3. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Also, watch the replay and try hearing what the refs are talking about, the linesman saw the offside and was asking for Moss to confirm the touch.

          1. CRO KLOPP
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            This 100 percent

  5. skriniar
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Salah is a genius, disgusting end, shame for PL

  6. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Will Salah actually keep those 3bps? Will he somehow manage to lose them? 😆

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      no way

      1. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        No way he loses the 3 BPS i mean

    2. Sim Simma

      Only when hell freezes over

    3. Rainer

      Yeah, he's safe 🙂

  7. PocketZola

    42 -4....alonso to go

  8. Lets jump straight into it.

    Unbelievable game, have Salah (C) and Kane + Aguero, so mixed emotions..

    Trying to figure out what to do with Mahrez, like everyone else:

    A. Do nothing
    B. Mahrez > Oh Mkhi youre so fine
    C. Mahrez > Wally
    D. Mahrez > Ibe
    E. Mahrez > JWP
    F. Mahrez > Someone else

    1. GreenArrows
      • 7 Years

      B for points, C if youre going to prepare for GW31

      1. Lets jump straight into it.

    Kanexit fail

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      lol @ all the sheep who bought Aguero after his 17 pointer

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Still up on the deal here. Aguero's outscored him over the 2 games and after the drops I'll get Kane back at no extra cost.

  10. GreenArrows
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Glad I didn't do Kane > Aguero, I know Aguero is outscoring Kane so far but I have bigger issues elsewhere in my team so glad I saved the transfer down the line

    1. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You'd rather not take the points ?

      1. GreenArrows
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Well in effect it would be two transfers which are needed elsewhere, bet people didn't put Christensen etc in their plans when looking at doing Aguero > Kane again, defo wouldn't want to do a -4 for it.

      2. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Well it would have stopped me from getting in Shaqiri and Walcott

  11. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Let's not lose sight of the main thing to take away from that game.

    Firmino blanked.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Perfect

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Glad I went Vardy instead.

  12. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    VVD deserves big criticism for that moment of madness. Ludicrous challenge to make.

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      75 million...

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      not a pen for me i m sorry shocking decision

      1. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        you don't know sh*t

    3. boc610
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      yeah except he didnt touch the guy. what difference does it make what a player does if theres no contact?

  13. boc610
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    that linesman was lonely and just wanted a chat all game. "laurel.. meet hardy....."

    The official Mkhi or Ramsey post™

    A) Mkhi

      Mkhi. He will be at his best with Auba by his side.

      Wait until gw29 though

      1. SoccerBoi69
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        My squad is strong enough to bench him... (or not)

        Martial, Sterling, Walcott, Salah
        Kane, Firmino, Wilson

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Ramsey has been a consistent fantasy asset. Mkhi hasn't

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Consistently injured

  15. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years

    had salah from day 1, only captained him once...what a fool !

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Same

    2. borat
      • 8 Years

      When in doubt always cap mo

  16. Chucky

    Roll on Season 18/19... so sick of all casuals getting lucky with Salah Captain every week...

    1. F4L

      if you cant beat them, join them 😉

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Start becoming a casual then. Get DDG and Salah(c)

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      I haven't removed the captaincy from him for weeks.

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      mmh jealous ?? 🙂

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      i m sick of the word casual actually, it s a game people play it the way they want 🙂

    6. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Luck? Pfft just common sense. He's clearly the most consistent performer in fpl. If you're too stubborn looking for hauls in overpriced players every week then that's your fault. Honestly just leave the armband on salah. You'll get hauls 8 out of 10 gameweeks

  17. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    How are people complaining about that second pen!? VVD just lumped him in the arse

  18. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Kane was offside

    His foot was caught and it was a pen

    1. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Was offside at first but the touch on the Liverpool defender cancels the offside.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Nonsense

        1. teneighty
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe, but those are the rules.

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    VVD will get dropped for the next game after that pen giveaway

  20. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    As a Liverpool fan I'm fuming! That linesman is a c##t. The first pen was offside. 2nd not a pen either. Van Dijk flicked Lamela with his foot and he went down like he had been stabbed. C##t! Pathetic.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      not a pool fan but feeling for you, disgrace !!

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years

      truth

  21. TallestJohn
    • 7 Years

    Gonna read the last 10 pages on here, I expect the drama will be as good as the game itself

  22. TheTinman

    Kane going to sneak a bap?....

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Are you joking?

  23. Viper

    66 with Alonso to go 🙂

    Great game all around then

    Vardy continues to outscore Bobby Firm for me. He’s been quite useful

  25. Bobby

    Bloody hell. What a week. What’s the average looking like?

    1. Rainer

  26. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years

    neither penalty was legit
    spurs deserved the draw for their play but really those were really poor decisions for the pens no way were either correct calls

    1. KISSES
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      agree

  27. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Ruth_NZ going to be well pissed after that result.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      😆

    2. Fred54

      He's always comes across as angry though.

    3. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years

      So are all the people he was telling to sell Kane for Aguero. 😆

  28. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    Top 10k average 44.0

    Overall 37.4

  29. KISSES

    Best defender combo with 10.2? Currently on Robertson and Christensen.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Sell both. Wouldn't want either

    Hazard 20pts game is coming tomorrow.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Would love this as a Hazard owner. Such a differential

    2. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Hope so. Not so sad at the moment with 50pts but Hazard is my captain tomorow. 🙂

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Here's hoping!

    4. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      All of you will get a green arrow in the end. 🙂

      He's not my captain, but I'm satisfied with Salah's performance today.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Arnie again captain hazard?

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Nah. Captained Salah for the second time in the season. First one was when he missed a penalty, think it was vs. HUD.

          Anyway, very happy with his goals today. 🙂

          Cheers!

    5. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years

      Captained him, would probably be the most glorious day of fpl ever for me if that happens!

      1. Danno - Emre Canada

        Ditto

    6. Fpldonny

      Im hoping for a repeat of Alonsos cup performance against Newcastle!
