Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Everton

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.

    Which striker do we think has the best fixture for midweek?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      1. nkhoughton

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not a tough fixture for Ibra?

        Vardy home to Sunderland looks tempting

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          not against that Eve defence

        2. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Vardy imo

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

    I'm not normally doing well compared to others on here so, 27 points already 😎

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        coutinho Mane cap, Kaku

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Unlucky on captain

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        look on the bright side, 6 is better than 2 😛

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          That's true, not a bad score just unlucky he didn't get more...i am an owner also & super disappointed as he was sure to get another goal or assist + baps!

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            don't get me wrong I would have loved more. I needed it as well 🙁

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Relative - better than kaku 🙂

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Kaku was bad today... Didn't look like a £60m striker at all

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers - didn't see it, just had it on the radio.
            Pundits were talking about lack of service to him ..

  4. Son of Rambo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Don't tell me Mane misses out on a bonus point over one BPS... looks like they're finalised

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      And because of a Williams 'assist' that never was an assist.

  5. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Koeman too busy thinking up his tweet to Martin O'Neill last night 😛

  6. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Mane to Cout or Tadic?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Cout I think.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen/Alli ahead of Cout

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mikhy

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I'll keep an eye out today

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho if you have Sanchez & Alli/Eriksen.

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I do have Sanch and Alli

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Have Vardy for one more week

        Not sure if I want any Leicester after that

  7. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Mane to Coutinho?

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Delle Alli hatrick coming up

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hope so

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      preach it!

  9. Lav
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Early signs point to Mane + Aguero to Sanchez + Origi/Costa (-4)

  10. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is Mane definitely out midweek?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Probably but no news yet

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm

      \o/

    3. Numb

      Not yet

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Praying he's fit, would cap him vs Bournemouth

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Did you see him collapse in agony. I'd guess so

    5. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  11. Dreams
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Doubled on spurs defence with Davies and Walker. Epic double up backfired badly.

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Could be gold from next week.

      1. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        It was the plan. Didn't expect a pepesque rotation from Poch.

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Walker played twice over the break. Trippier fully rested. No need for Trippier to play in any other games apart from the odd PL game. Trippier vs his old club AND trippier is actually very good.

          It's not pepesque rotation. It was fairly predictable rotation, and sensible rotation from Pochy

  12. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…

    Where have all the funny people on FFS gone?

      Banned 😆

        Sorting the comments by rating not as exciting anymore

    2. denial

      Get modded off eventually. Used to be some very funny posters on here

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      where's Ayew Serious and Epic Fail gone?

    4. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm here. Don't worry.

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This is a serious forum, for serious people, we'll have no fun here!

  13. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Carroll always scores v Arsenal right?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Usually

  14. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    If Mane is out thinking Coleman and Mane to Davies and Sanchez (C), thoughts?

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wait until tomorrow evening. But good transfers.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

    2. gunthourinho
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You should have got rid of Coleman ages (days) ago. I personally would not trust Sanchez or Arsenal for the rest of the season. Too turbulent.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not trust Sanchez 😆

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I was already on a -4 and had value on him so only took one of his drops, will get him out this week for sure though

  15. boc610

    Peter Reid is drunk

    1. Jay_
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Looks like he's just come out of a wake

        1. boc610
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Ha yeah a two dayer that he left at 1130 today

      • Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I thought that as well

      • Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That new hair do isn't fooling anyone is it....

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Anyway of finding out stats in top 100?
      Looking for how many have played their WCs

      1. Kalou
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Go through them 1by1:)

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Costa's long overdue red card is happening today

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hope so. Elephant man is due

      2. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah it's a worry as captainer

      3. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        You spelled hattrick wrong.

    4. Goodricke
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth = So far my Lukaku to Vardy has worked.
      Rough = Son dropped means that my AOA chip has been wasted.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He'll come on so it's not wasted

    5. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Carra: "today's the day that Coutinho's came back"

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        nah, today was the day he was matched up against a toddler. He'll be back to being sh*te midweek

      2. red devil 7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Thought he came back 2-3 days ago

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          😆

    6. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      1 player played, 6 points, so far so good.

    7. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      alli or couts if mane is out???

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Alli seems a must. If chasing Cout

      2. Smoky Johnson
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Alli.

    8. niloh1
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      guys please help
      a) sell mane & coutinho for sanchez & king (-4)
      b) sell mane & coutinho & defoe for sanchez, pedro, llorente/gabby (-8)
      c) sell mane & coutinho & defoe for sanchez, tadic, llorente (-8)

      1. gunthourinho
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Why take a hit at all? Just do one transfer. Dump Mane for someone else. Don't bother trying to get Sanchez in, aint worth it.

      2. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Keep Coutinho at home to BOU surely. 4-2 written all over it

    9. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mane and Kun -> Alexis and Ibra (-4) looks good as things stand?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        seems the norm

    10. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Cout only had two shots!

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Both on target. With BOU up next he's a great captaincy option

    11. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Is Vardy going to have a party?

      1. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Got the invite so looks incline to happen.

      2. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Depends.

      3. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        in the dressing room....after his RC

      4. red devil 7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        no claudio, no party

      5. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely the most interesting 15.00 game for me. Don't own Vardy, but most transferred in this gameweek and fairly high captaincy.

      6. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I really really hope so

      7. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes and on the day I misplaced my invite...

    12. RubberDucky
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So out of 10 how happy should I be with my Mane as captain decision?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          6, could have been better but he didn't blank.

        2. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          6

        3. Numb
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          7

        4. Crouching Tiger
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          4

        5. justmatt
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          6.5... Better than a blank but single goal and no bonus isn't great.

      • boc610
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Koeman proud of that ??:)

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          His tweet did well and Everton injured a few, good few days indeed.

      • Crouching Tiger
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So my transfer plans maybe shifting to Mane, Aguero -> Sanchez, Vardy....

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I thought the same about Davies and Walker double up. Good luck.

        2. Tired and weary
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Exact same here depending on Vardy performance v Stoke, Zlat is the only other contender

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Baines ➡ Valencia for a hit, looks like its going to pay off

        1. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You know the Utd game has not started yet, right?

        2. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          The game hasn't even started lol. WBA will score, bookmark this

      • Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes or no minus 12

        Siggy>Sanchez
        Sane> Ward Prose
        Defoe>Gab or Negredo
        Costa> Vardy
