Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Liverpool

2,244 Comments
Share

Following Newcastle’s win over Man United, Sunday’s third and final fixture sees us take a trip to St Mary’s Stadium as Southampton and Liverpool square up at 4.30pm.

After Sergio Aguero’s four-goal demolition of Leicester and Harry Kane’s solitary strike against Arsenal, all eyes now turn to Mohamed Salah.

Up against a defence with a single clean sheet in their last 13 home fixtures, the Egyptian is the number one captain for Gameweek 27 with 22.1% armband backing.

The top scoring player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Salah’s relentless consistency has delivered returns in 15 of his previous 17 league outings.

He’s also served up 11 sets of double-figure hauls, including a 16-point tally against Mauricio Pellegrino’s men back in Gameweek 12.

His team-mate Roberto Firmino could emerge as a differential captaincy candidate – just 3.3% of managers have backed the Brazilian, who has supplied 10+ points in three of his last five away starts.

Meanwhile, James Ward-Prowse has another chance to stake a claim as a budget midfield buy.

Up against a defence with three clean sheets on their travels, the Saints’ playmaker has three goals and two assists in the previous four rounds of fixtures.

Interest is clearly on the rise – at a price of 5.1, he was acquired by 78,000+ FPL managers ahead of yesterday morning’s deadline.

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

    Thoughts on these moves fellas? 0.2m ITB, 2 FTs

    (A) Pogba, Adrian -> Walcott, Pope [Play Jones vs Chelsea]
    (B) Pogba, Adrian, Jones -> Walcott, Pope, VVD (-4)

    Leaning towards (B) with United poor form and fixtures

    Adrian*
    Maguire, Jones*, Dunk

          Van Der Hoorn and KSY are cheap and have 4 good fixtures.
          Hegazi, 6 decent fixtures.
          Leicester. Not sure who is nailed there..
          KSY used to be good and he's come back and produced, could be a good punt at 4.9.

          Sooo, horrible gameday yesterday.. Had more points from 3 bench players than from 5 field players... Salah + Firmino helped out a lot today though..

          However, I am still stuck with Lingard and I want to transfer him out... Any ideas on who to transfer in would be appreciated, got 6,5M to shop for.
          A) Doucouré
          B) Shaqiri
          C) Deulofeu
          D) Choupo-M
          E) Albrighton (the hype gone?)

          Aguero has one less goal than Salah in 242 less minutes, and 2 less goals than Kane in 440 less minutes this season...

          Sinking in, sinking in..?
          Expecting Scoutcast resignations or sackings in the morning 😆

            ...and to think that Salah is a winger!

            ...and to think that Aguero hasn’t scored more in tat City side he plays in

            Sinking in?

          Do we know when Jesus is back?
          Not sure about bringing in Aguero now, think he’ll be saved for CL from now on.

            Absoutely spot on. His goals-per-minute ratio is sensational, but there are limits.

          Fpl discovery says that most of the top 10k have had 10.8 players played already. I thought about 80% would still have Alonso?

            10.8 is the Aggregate Measure, that includes captains. 9.8 is the average players played.

          So I'm thinking of going with a core of

          De Gea
          Jones Robertson Naughton
          De Bruyne Salah Sterling
          Kane Aguero Firmino

          And the remaining spot is a rotation between Chilwell-Ibe-Dyer-Mariappa

          How does that sound?

          DDG
          Alonso- Otamnedi - Naughton- Ogboona - Kenny
          Sanchez- Salah - Sterling - Lingard-Mili
          Kane - Wilson - Niasse

          2FT, 0.4M ITB.

          Any suggestions on what to do?
