Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Spurs

2,823 Comments
Share

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

    Do people really take fixtures into account with attacking players from the top teams?

      For Arsenal I would... also for Kane vs Aguero over this 4 game run... sometimes if they really line up... but generally no

          signed for Swansea in loan from Leicester in transfer window, don’t know why they would bother if they just needed back up and with fer out injured makes it more likely. he’s only 4.2.

          maybe keep an eye on pressers but there’s nothing else I would do aside from keepers but not sure what you could afford. begovic or fabianksi?

      Since it's free I'd say 2 is a double upgrade (due to Son's fixtures and seemingly not keeping form)

      Or 1 if you want to keep a FT in case of emergency

    I will most likely give Pogba the Newcastle game, but something feels wrong when Wilson are 2,1m cheaper, better fixtures, form and penalties. Pogba has a better team, thats it.

    I know they arent the same position..

              Not necessarily.
              Perhaps you have a couple of players without a double with good fixtures you want to play as well.
              Then you don’t have to choose between a good player with a single or a worse player with a double.

            Yeah I also think so but an Alonso goal + CS would bring him to 15 points + Doucoure 2 points and I am gone....

            Alonso goal + CS is pretty real.
