Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Everton

1,963 Comments
Share

Gameweek 30 begins in a cauldron of a Merseyside derby.

Anfield provides the venue as Liverpool host Everton, providing Fantasy managers with an opening fixture of huge significance.

Romelu Lukaku heads into this contest as the top owned asset in Fantasy Premier League, as part of 47.2% of squads. The Belgian has nine goals in his last six and has scored in each of his last four – irresistible form that will surely stretch a Liverpool defence that has rarely looked assured this season.

But Jurgen Klopp’s charges have their own key Fantasy assets on show.

The Premier League’s top scorers with 61, they were boosted by the recent transfer traffic ahead of Gameweek 28, with the Reds attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho still established as hugely popular figures.

Owned by 17.7% of FPL managers, Coutinho has proved a bitter disappointment of late, with just a single goal from his last 11 Premier League outings. Meanwhile, Firmino has rewarded his 9.9% ownership with just one goal in six. That leaves Mane carrying the major expectations as Liverpool’s top scoring FPL asset – he has produced three goals in his last five Gameweeks and is backed by 23.6% ahead of today’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I wouldn't have captained Mané this week anyways, so happy with the goal. I guess maybe some might have transferred him out as well for the likes of Alli/Eriksen.

      "Only" 24% ownership as well. Not too bad.

      Anybody else notice the FFFIx rank prediction is a bit off today? I'm ahead of the average and 3pts ahead of the top 1000 average with that Mane goal, I haven't taken a hit, and was low ranked (300k) before the game... yet it predicts a red arrow for me, I don't see how that is possible.

        If you have the app, it tends to only give a rough idea, plus it's a bit slow to get data early on

          I was using the desktop site, but also have the app, both say the same. Yeah rank usually takes 2-3 mins to update after a points event, for it to be correct must mean many of the people around me have both Firmino and Mane, or C Mane, which seems extremely unlikely. I don't think it's that sophisticated either, seems to be based on average scores only.

            Tends to be on point for points and bonuses, it's just for OR I think they use user data then extrapolate to calculate rank. Means that it gives you a rough idea rather than the exact, and can jump around, but i like that it gives me a good idea how I'm doing "live"
