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.

    The Kane to Aguero debate two game weeks ago is panning out pretty much the way the scout cast said. Wasn't really worth it.

      What about 3 weeks ago?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        The debate was after his hat trick and with Kane s three tough fixtures coming up and kun s three easy enough ones.

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

          They didn't know any more than us. It could have gone either way.

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Ah yeah I know that but the lads were right . Just saying.

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

      Scoutcast think Daniels is a good option . Plus there is another week left yet.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I know but Kane could spank arsenal next week.kun may too but would bet on Kane more so.

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

          Yer . Saying all this im thinking of kun back to kane this week

    Salah has 21 goals and 8 assists in 23 PL starts.

    Wowzers.

    1. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Still a bargain at £10.3

      Will most likely be £11.5m next season

      3. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        If he breaks the FPL record he'll be 13m+

    2. barracuda

    My ml is over! Half the people are casuals with gross hegazi and ml leader transferred in milivojevic this week. Why!? So random and it worked

      • 8 Years

      Maybe they know more than you think

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

        Because I mean, maybe if you're losing MLs to "casuals", then maybe you're the casual

      A) Son-> Walcott
      B) Pogba-> Walcott
      C) Hold

      Thoughts?

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Is it time to move out Otamendi as may get rested v Leicester pre CL game? Mawson or Van Dijk in mind

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Fernandez 0.6 cheaper than Mawson

    4. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Gaaahh, kept questioning whether to start Mustafi or Milivojevich. Guess who I ended up starting...

    5. Football Heaven
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Guy in my ml has Fernandez and gross to come off bench, what a week

    6. Salah Fingers
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Best 4.5m Kenny replacement? Baur?

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

        Likely as stoke don’t blank

    7. LIARS POKER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Who do we think is better option going forward

      A) Mee (4.9)
      B) Fernandez (4.4)

    8. Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Didn't wash the ManUnited game. How was Lingered? Is it time to sell?

      1. Mooster©️

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

        One of their better players whilst on the pitch. I'm keeping him for Newcastle. but probably shipping following that.

      3. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He was okay, threatened at times, for Walcott yes

    9. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      And the lesson today is...never captain a player against your own team!

    10. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Salah: 15 (x2)
      the 9 other players in my team: also 15

      I imagine lots are in the same boat, but it's still a crazy stat!

    11. LIARS POKER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Thoughts on VVD? Thought he looked good today until the end, good attacking presence but not sure how much I trust the clean sheets in coming weeks

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        wait 6 months and get Bamba

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I doubt Klopp has any concerns about cleanies, so why should we invest if he doesn't take pride in them?

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

      Hoping Toby A drops £0.1m in price before next GW following that Spurs defensive performance today. They will keep clean sheets and can upgrade Kenny to him.

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

        Decent shout, not interested in Virg?

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

          Above average defender in my book. Prefers to play out from the back and go up for attacking corners than defend properly.

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

            Will have a look, cheers matey

      Ok Hazard will either save my gw or screw it further. If he doesnt perform return he might as well exit my team.

        I'm stuck at almost the same rank since gw15 🙁

      62 with Alonso to go, currently 1.1M rank...how much of a green arrow am I looking at?

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

        Aroumd 700-800k

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

          Nice. I haven't been in the top 1M this year yet. Happy days.

    17. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      51 with Alonso and Willian to go. What a turn around 🙂

    18. Clive The Ram
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      48pts with Alonso to play tomorrow, courtesy of Phil Jones and Ashley Young not playing yesterday and Shaqiri (8pts) and Milijovejic (10pts) Making an appearance off my bench.

      In the H2H league I’m in my opponent played his ‘bench boost’ and is all spent on 53pts.

      Just need an Alonso clean sheet or goal away at Watford...!

      And to think I’d all but given up this weekend!

    19. Chucky

      38 with Hazard's hattie to come.. any good?

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

        Same here.. bad week unless Hazard returns 10+(×2)

    20. Scheister
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Well dern, looks like I’ve probably been burned for being such a Maverick lol. Chose Alonso captain rather than Salah...

      1. Clive The Ram
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I’m rooting for you. Need Alonso to do the biz too!

    21. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Shall I getting rid of lingard or albrighton for Walcott?

      Would mean no united attackers which perhaps isn't a bad thing

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

        Yes, not sure which one. Albrighton is nailed at least, not sure if he'll benefit or suffer from Mahrez's troubles.
