How Henderson’s new role affects FPL picture at Liverpool

Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) has been reaping the rewards of Jurgen Klopp’s new role for him in his midfield.

In the last three Premier League matches, the England international has been playing in a more advanced position within the 4-3-3 system at Liverpool.

We’ve used the Fantasy Football Scout members area to analyse the impact this has had on Henderson’s points potential, as well as his team-mates.

What is Henderson’s new role at Liverpool?

Since coming on as a substitute at Southampton in Gameweek 33, Henderson has been occupying a more advanced role in Liverpool’s team.

Jurgen Klopp has kept his favoured 4-3-3 shape but has tweaked the responsibilities within that.

Previously the three central midfielders played largely in line with each other, but there is now more of a split when it comes to the different roles.

Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) has been dropping a little deeper than the other two central midfielders.

Meanwhile, Henderson has been pushing up towards the right-forward in the front-three to help support them in the attacking phase.

You can see that in the heatmap above, comparing his touches in the first 32 Gameweeks against the last three.

There is a much higher concentration of touches on the right flank in the latter period compared to the former.

How has Henderson’s new role affected his points potential?

Jordan Henderson has had a much greater involvement in Liverpool attacks in recent weeks

Having only fulfilled this role in one substitute appearance and two starts in the Premier League, Henderson already has one goal and two assists.

He has also enjoyed more involvement in Liverpool’s attacks in the Champions League too.

First and foremost, Henderson is enjoying a boosted goal threat from his new role.

Jordan Henderson’s goal threat in Gameweeks 1 to 32 (left) and Gameweeks 33 to 35 (right)

As you can see from the table above, when we compare Gameweeks 1 to 32 against Gameweeks 33 to 35, we see a huge jump in penalty box touches.

For the majority of the season, Henderson registered 0.7 per game, but that has risen to 3.7 in the last three matches.

He has been offering plenty of attacking threat in these new positions too.

In the first 32 Gameweeks, Henderson was averaging a 0.4 shots per game, and 0.2 in the box.

However, since moving forward he is shooting more often, 1.3 per game, and with greater frequency inside the box, with 1.3 per game registered there.

The quality of his chances are also improving too, jumping from zero big chances in the first 32 Gameweeks to 0.7 per game since Gameweek 33.

Jordan Henderson’s creativity in Gameweeks 1 to 32 (left) and Gameweeks 33 to 35 (right)

Henderson has been more focussed in his distribution of the ball in his new role too.

While he is passing less often in the last three matches, you can see that his assist potential has gone up.

Chances created per match have risen from 0.3 to 1.3 and big chances created from zero to 0.7.

Has Henderson’s new role affected anyone else?

Salah has looked much better since Henderson has played closer to him

It is possible that Salah’s recent resurgence as a Fantasy option, in time for a Triple Captain opportunity against Huddersfield, has been a result of Henderson’s efforts.

Mohamed Salah’s goal threat in Gameweeks 1 to 32 (left) and Gameweeks 33 to 35 (right)

With the England international operating in closer proximity to Salah in the last three matches, we can see that the Egyptian has been receiving the ball much more often and is enjoying more time on the ball in dangerous areas.

His penalty box touches from Gameweeks 1 to 32 were recorded at an average of 8.5 per game, but they have risen to 9.3 per game since Gameweek 33.

Crucially, Salah is now shooting more often, goal attempts per game rising from 3.4 to 3.7 and efforts in the box from 2.3 to 3.0.

He is more accurate too, shots on target rising from 1.6 per game to 2.3.

Mohamed Salah’s creativity in Gameweeks 1 to 32 (left) and Gameweeks 33 to 35 (right)

Salah’s creativity has also marginally improved too. Between Gameweeks 1 and 32 he averaged 1.8 key passes per game but has recorded 2.0 per game from Gameweek 33 onwards.

However, it is possible that Henderson pushing onto the right flank more often might impinge on Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s (£5.6m) involvement.

As we can see from the heatmap above, the last three matches have seen a lower proportion of the right-back’s touches taking place in the final third.

These have been taken over by Henderson, leaving Alexander-Arnold to focus on the more defensive side of his flank.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s involvement in Gameweeks 1 to 32 (left) and Gameweeks 33 to 35 (right)

We can see from the data that while overall touches are at a similar level, there have been slight drops in the key areas.

Touches in the opponents half per game have dropped from 49.6 to 48.7, while touches in the final third per game have decreased from 29.7 to 28.7.

Obviously, these are not huge drops for Alexander-Arnold and interestingly, in the last three matches, his chances created per game has actually risen from 1.5 to 2.3, although some of these could be attributed to set pieces.

Conclusion

Henderson plays in the most heavily rotated section of Liverpool’s team this season

The fact that Henderson’s new role has boosted his Fantasy points potential certainly places on him on our radar in more of a significant fashion than in previous years.

If he can hold down this position then he could become an exciting budget differential for managers chasing mini-league deficits in the closing weeks of the season.

However, we should urge caution when considering Henderson’s signature for your Fantasy team.

The central midfield berths have been the most rotated under Jurgen Klopp this season.

While the front-three and back-four have been largely settled, especially since January, there are five central midfielders who have come in and out of the side on a regular basis this season.

Of those options, none of them has more than 30 starts this season, Georginio Wijnaldum the most used with 29 starts. The others, which include Henderson himself, James Milner (£5.6m), Fabinho (£5.5m) and Naby Keita (£7.1m) all range between 15 and 19 league starts in 2018/19.

That means that, at least for now, regular starts for Henderson are not assured, although that’s not to say they won’t be once has bedded himself into the new role for a longer period.

That brings us to the other reason for caution. At this stage, we have seen just three FPL Gameweeks with Henderson in this role.

One of these lasted for just 31 minutes as it was when he came on as a substitute against Southampton in Gameweek 33.

That means we cannot be completely certain of the trends we have discovered, which are, admittedly in their infancy right now.

Furthermore, we must recognise that fitting Henderson into Liverpool coverage at this point in the season looks to be something of a challenge.

Most squads already have at least one defender and one attacker, and many have added a third option to that from either of those positions.

Some may be unable to sign Henderson, while others who are considering signing a new attacker are more likely to find points potential in one of Salah or Sadio Mané (£10.0m).

This is where Henderson’s impact on the Egyptian could come in to play. With some doubts over Salah’s ability both the play and to do well against Huddersfield, the support of he has enjoyed from his colleague could be the tactical tweak that does, in fact, inspire him on to a double-figure haul in Gameweek 36.

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thinking about it but not sure I have the cajones for it. Need to beat the guy behind me who also has Mane and will most likely just regular captain him.

          Lol. Yeah you have something to play for, I can’t win my mini league this year so I’ve been very punty this past month.

            If you don't have anything to play for, play for fun then.

            It was a long season, go crazy at the end 🙂

  2. sweensa

    Lacca to Wilson and Son to Mane worth a -4? Or just stupid? Already have Salah

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't lose Son for a hit

    2. Bagpuss
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      no for me

    3. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years

  3. StoichkovFPL

    4 years, 11 months ago

    3 questions:

    1. When owning Aguero and Salah would you recomend Mane or Sterling for last 3 games?
    2. Would you play Ings or JWP this week?
    3. Kola>VVD/Laporte worth -4?

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      That's tough, probably sterling.
      JWP
      Would go VVD if you're making that move.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling
      Ward
      Laporte

    3. Bagpuss
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      agree - Sterling, JWP, VVD

  4. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    TC Salah or Mane and why?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Toss a coin

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If I was defending a lead, mane, chasing, salah

  5. Bagpuss
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any views please;

    A) take a -4 to get VVD (to basically cover my ML rivals, his greater CS chance, goal threat and BPS potential worry me)
    B) play Boly (wat away)
    C) play Valery (Bou home)

    1. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who you selling for VVD? Surely a guaranteed 6 points this week for him so I'd probably do it

      1. Bagpuss

        • 14 Years

      I never captain defenders to be honest

    3. Flicka

      Really considering it (see last page)

    4. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      haven't captained a defender for a couple of game weeks now..

    5. Cruz88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Thought I'd be the only one considering this. His stats in comparison to Salah over the last 6 are interesting. The article above makes me doubt it a little though.

  8. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Play Pogba or Wilson?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      Wilson as saints defence with a lot of injuries

  9. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years

    What do you think? Sterling & Eriksen to Salah & B.Silva for -4. Yes or no?

    Already have Aguero & Laporte, Mane & TAA and Son.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

            I've heard from two sources, one said that they stuck him in a middle seat in coach between two crying babies and in front of a kid who kicked his seat for the 7 hour flight. the other source said he had a king sized bed with stewards feeding him grapes. not sure who to believe.

    Ryan
    Robbo, Valery, Doherty
    Mane, Son, Eriksen, Kdb*
    Aguero, Jimenez, Vardy

    Foster, Jonny, Duffy, Hjobjerg

    A) kdb > Bilva/Sane
    B) kdb, Vardy > Sane, Firmino -4
    C) Kdb, Vardy > Sterling, Rashford/Zaha -4
    D) kdb, Eriksen > fraser, Salah

      Similar dilemma to me.

      D. Vardy has a ridic record vs Arsenal.

      But i'm considering Eriksen&KDB > Moura&Sterling.

    Currently I’ve mane and aguero and need to replace KDB. Should the priority be

    A) Salah
    B) Sterling

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah if you can

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who would you need to downgrade to get either, and to who

      1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Lacazette to Zaha to get sterling
        Lacazette to someone 5.9 or Eriksen to someone 7 mil to get salah

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Hey all. Hope your GW was good. 🙂

    With 2FT and 0.2 ITB and thinking of TC Mane with this team....

    Lloris (foster)
    Robertson Laporte Doherty (duffy bednarek)
    Mane(TC) Son(vc) Eriksen Pogba (højbjerg)
    Aguero Vardy Jimenez

    Would you just downgrade Foster to free up funds?
    —> thinking next week I’ll do Vardy eriksen to cheapie Sterling, perhaps

    is watford/wolves going to be a cagey affair or goalfest?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      More likely goalfest imo

      1. KGJ United

        same feeling

  23. Bubbles1985

    Lloris
    Robertson Laporte Duffy
    Eriksen Son Sterling Jota
    Aguero Jiminez Gray

    Foster Camarasa Doherty Bednarek

    I have 0.4m itb and 1ft...

    Eriksen and Aguero > Mane and Firmino worth the hit??

    Mane will be TC

  24. umerlfc
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which of the 2?

    A) Bring in Sterling and TC Mane
    B) Bring in Salah and TC him

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A. I think.

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Is your link correct?

      1. umerlfc
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yes

        1. umerlfc
          • 8 Years

          Oh wait, now correctly updated

  25. some witty pun
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I'd be crazy to consider doing Vardy -> Firmino for a -4 right?

    1. petergriff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on your Liverpool coverage, but i'd say its risky at least

    2. rhysmd
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah ... not for a hit

    Cant decide whether to bring in a pool defender or do Eriksen > Mane...or save FT

    Looking ahead, i think i can line-up as follows till end of season
    Gw36: Foster (WOL) • Laporte (bur) • Duffy (NEW) • Doherty (wat).....bench Kola (lei) Valery (BOU)
    Gw37: Patricio (FUL) • Laporte (LEI) • Doherty (FUL) • Kola (BRI).......bench Valery (whm) Duffy (ars)
    Gw38: Foster (WHM) • Laporte (bri) • Kola (bur) • Valery (HUD)...........bench Doherty (liv) Duffy (MCI)

    So my defence looks good for gw36/37 with a decent 1st sub. Gw38 looks sticky as my bench defenders have tough games. SO, in light of this, does it make sense to get a Pool defender? or am i better off in doing Eriksen > Mane or even save FT

  27. Stupendous

    Gtg here? Chasing a 40 point lead and he has VVD, Mili and Mane im worried about. He has no Spurs, and no City which is odd.

    Lloris
    Duffy TAA Robbo
    Salah(TC) Son Eriksen Jota
    Gray Jimenez Aguero

    Foster Jwp Bednarek Valery

      You really need to bring in Mane for Erikson if you want to have that extra edge over your rival.
      Erikson might have managed mins due to CL games.

        4 years, 11 months ago

        Spurs playing early Saturday and are at home Tuesday in CL....do we think poch will rest anyone given they are not assured of top 4 yet ?? I have Eriksen and Son but thinking I need Mane or Salah

  28. rhysmd

    Benching headache this week...

    Play Guaita/Patricio?

    Pick one of Cathcart/Doucoure/Jonny?

    1. KGJ United
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Guaita (I tend to pick goalkeeper that plays at home)
      Doucoure

  29. Garth Marenghi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    What’s the likelihood of TAA being rested tomorrow?

  30. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Yes or no to the following for a hit?

    KDB + Jota -> Sterling + Ward-Prowse

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes
