Is Liverpool’s defence still a reliable source of clean sheets?

Teemu Pukki‘s (£6.5m) goal against Liverpool in Gameweek 1 already has Fantasy managers concerned about doubling up on the Reds’ defence this season.

Liverpool kept 21 clean sheets last year, more than any other side, but are yet to register one in 2019/20 after conceding on Friday night.

Doubling-up on the Reds’ defence had previously proved a popular tactic this summer.

Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) is still the most fashionable of the Liverpool back-line, owned by 50% of managers for the first Gameweek.

Meanwhile, as the first deadline of the campaign passed, Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) sat in 34% of squads, and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) was in 24% of them.

Various combinations of these three defenders were also forming part of many a manager’s setup for the 2019/20 season.

12.3% of all Fantasy managers had both van Dijk and Robertson for Gameweek 1, 7% paired the Dutchman with Alexander-Arnold while 6.8% owned both full-backs.

However, after Liverpool’s opening day display, there are those who are worried about whether they should be so heavily invested in Jurgen Klopp’s defence.

Alisson is now set to be out for several weeks with a muscle problem

The injury to Alisson (£6.0m), expected to be out for at least a few weeks, is also giving some Fantasy managers cold feet about last season’s best back-line.

In this latest article, we will look at the data from Gameweek 1 to see how much we should be worried about Liverpool’s defence moving forward.

As this uses information from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 campaign can access it in full.

How did Norwich do offensively on Friday night?

    Save FT, have 0.5ITB? And Play Kelly or Smith?

    Ryan
    TAA VVD Smith Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Siggy Perez
    Vardy King

    Button Dendoncker Kelly Greenwood

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, save. And probably Kelly - pretty similar though, that's just what my gut says.

  2. mash

    4 years, 7 months ago

    In the Draft game, my goalkeepers are Alisson and Heaton, and I have second pick in this week's transactions. Will probably keep Alisson for when he returns, but in the meantime, should I:

    A) Play Heaton with what could be a fairly kind run of fixtures
    B) Attempt to swap Heaton for Adrian

    Cheers!

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A - you arguably have the best premium and best budget keepers. Save, otherwise someone else will nab Heaton.

      1. mash
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers! Budget isn't an issue of course, but on the other hand, the only other viable keepers still available are Ryan and Pope...

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Still hold

    2. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      As a player ranked just under 4m, i say B.

  3. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Little poll. Which would you rather?

    A) TAA/Robbo and Wilson
    B) 4.5m and Kane

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A easy

    3. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A with Rashford.

    5. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Of course b

    6. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably the same score by the end, but a 4.5M defender has a chance of rising in value if you pick the right one.

    Heaton/Pope
    VVD Digne Ake (Hanley, Rico)
    Sterling Salah Moura Martial Perez
    Wood Wilson (Wickham)
    Do anything or save transfer? Heaton or Pope in goal?
    I'm thinking to maybe do Wood to Pukki? Any other ideas?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Heaton, quite like the Pukki punt. Wood has two tough games in next three and shares goals with Barnes.

      1. BlueEddy
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He seems like the kind of player who will score whenever he has the chance. I didn't follow Norwich last season but from what I've read he's pretty clinical. 29 goals in 43 games last season. Doesn't necessarily mean he'll do the same in the Premier League, but could be worth the punt

    2. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd save the transfer and personally like the look of Pope, but if you have bought 2 keepers for fixture rotation then I guess it has to be Heaton.

      1. BlueEddy
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        My idea was to rotate but Pope looked good last game and could get a few save points against Arsenal. I'd be surprised if he gets a clean sheet, though. Bournemouth were lacking something up front against SHU...hmmm...maybe stick to the plan and rotate them..

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          To be fair, my opinion may be tainted by the fact I own Pope, Wilson & King.

          But then again, I own those players because i think they'll perform rather than thinking they'll perform because I own them.

    Any villa fans? I saw the game against spurs, villa were solid at the back. I'm wondering if at Home against BOU they will sit tight again or will go all out attack. What do you reckon?

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      i think opponent dictates that a bit, not easy to go all out attack away to Spurs, i will expect them to do so vs Bou at home. if that translates to goals is another story

    2. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Villa really weren't solid at the back against Spurs. They conceded 31 shots.

      1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I know that the stats say this, but if you watch the game you can see that they really were holding spurs until Eriksen get in. After that i agree they struggle.

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Pretty simple tactic. Crowd everyone except Lamela and Sissy Sissoko and let those two turn the ball over,

    3. Villa Velour
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      We won’t change our game. Always high press attacking football.

      1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        They didnt press high against spurs, more of sitting back and counter attacks.

  6. Amanda Staveley
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Pukki the real deal?

    His stats from the championship were impressive and he looked sharp vs Liverpool!

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe but his next 4 aint great imo

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Could be good for around 15 goals this season.

      1. Amanda Staveley
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I’m looking for the best 6.5M striker similar to many other I am sure!

        Wood / Barnes looks like his main competition!

        Currently have King in my team, worth giving him GW2 to redeem his GW1 blank?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I'm still holding out on Jota, but started with him last season and didn't start out too well then.

          1. Amanda Staveley
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I’m thinking to sit on King for another week and watch Wood Barnes and Pukki next week them make the call. Hoping for no price rise / drop before then...

        2. Greek Flair
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Can’t take him out against Villa. Make a decision after that

          1. Amanda Staveley
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yep that’s what I was thinking!

    3. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Whether he performs against Newcastle or not he seems a short sighted pick. Maybe in GW6 with more information.

      1. Amanda Staveley
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I didn’t know anything about him before the Liverpool game but I was really impressed with his movement and work ethic!

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Undeniably he looked great, but I'm too stubborn to be swung by one performance, perhaps wrongly stubborn though.

          1. Amanda Staveley
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yer I’m trying to be more stubborn this year too!

            I’ve gone for more season keepers this year and my 6.5M striker position was one I was happy to spend my transfer on so I’m not too worried about trying or a few of them!

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

        Who's the best 6.5 striker for the next few weeks then?

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          For GWs 3 & 4 nobody stands out to me. I'm on Wood & King atm. Will probably sell King soon but plan to keep Wood long term.

          1. BlueEddy
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Why would you keep Wood, out of interest?

            1. Eytexi
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I've always rated him as a good goalscorer and think Burnley could have a good season. Fixtures from GW5 look great & Arsenal (with a shaky defence)/Wolves (Europa League fatigue possibly) don't seem certain of CS vs. Burnley either.

              1. Amanda Staveley
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Gw5-7 looks like gold for Wood!

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      he plays for norwich

      1. Amanda Staveley
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Good observation!

        I was impressed by the style they play and they scored against one of if not the best defence of last season...

        1. BlueEddy
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He could be a good bet. Like you said he scored against one of the best defences in the league and his stats last season are great. I also like Jota though at that price. He hasn't got great fixtures but they did beat Man Utd twice last season, didn't they?

          1. Amanda Staveley
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Just worried about him getting 70 mins in quite a few games as they have Cutrone as back up now...

            1. BlueEddy
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              So long as he plays 60 mins, it's ok. He was on fire in pre-season...

    5. leo_messi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Barnes is your man but maybe hold till gw5

      1. Amanda Staveley
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Barnes over Wood?

        Is this just based off GW1? Or any other reason?

  7. Enes_Sahini1
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Save FT? 0.5ITB

    Heaton
    Digne Laporte VVD Dunk
    Perez McGinn Salah Sterling
    Kane King

    Sub: Pope Deondecker Greenwood Lundstram

    1. Eytexi

      Yep, save. Gtg!

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bet you had a great GW1 score

      1. Enes_Sahini1
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah 108, I think it was good at least

  8. jumpinjoe90
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who is a better season long bet? Maguire or wan bisaaka?

    My own thinking is that Maguire is more of a goal threat but Bissaka probably better chance of assisting?

    Second question... is it worth doubling up on Rashford and martial?

    Cheers gentlemen

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      AWB for BAPS and maybe the odd assist.

      It depends who your other options are I guess. Personally I'd rather have just the one of them & someone like Siggy unless they start returning every game.

      1. jumpinjoe90
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah it really is a toss up imo

        Yeah you are right on the second point, currently have siggy and rashers with perez

        Thanks for replying pal!

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          No worries mate! 🙂

          Personally saving the FT & looking at Martial next week. My dilemma will be picking 2 of Martial, Siggy & Haller as I want them all. 🙁 Hopefully this week's performances make it obvious to me.

    2. Amanda Staveley
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I like the look of them both and shaw if you want to be different! Give them a few more gameweeks to prove they can do it long term!

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Still too early to assess how effective United's defence will be, even with good fixtures. I'm waiting.

      1. jumpinjoe90
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, have a feeling there might be a few 0-0 coming over the next few weeks

        Really like Chelsea’s fixtures too, despite result at the weekend

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The only problem I see with Maguire's goal threat, which he has always had, is who is going to deliver the quality of set pieces for him at Utd? Mata and Young are the best deliverers of free kicks/corners but they are not regular starters.

      1. jumpinjoe90
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Good point badgerboy never thought of that

    5. Camzy

    Price increases are great because if you manage your team effectively then you should build TV, doing so makes you stronger than those that don’t

    Fear of losing value by transferring out players is ridiculous - you should always be gaining on the new players

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      problem is buying people back if you want to switch them out

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Short term punts maybe

        But effectively using your FTs should be mid term moves as such the player you drop is likely to be hitting a difficult stage and stand a chance to lose value

        The player brought in is because they stand a chance of hitting form or have hit form and will therefore rise

        It’s only this player for this player and back to the first player ridiculous moves that become a problem

        If the punt is so good then the points will come at a cost

        It provides an additional element that makes the game more interesting

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          that doesnt disprove my point made in response to your initial post

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            It wasn’t to disprove just to say that it’s a more interesting decision to make, and if it’s planned correctly you should always do ok price wise. Of course it’s a consideration but fear of losing value shouldn’t stop what is a positive move for greater points and in turn further value will likely be gained

    2. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      True, but team value should be considered when playing hokey cokey.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The sentiment on here being "you should bring in Martial because he might rise" and "sterling non-owners could be forced out if they dont bring him in before price rise" is proof enough that the price system forces a template. Template forming makes the game extremely boring and price rises contribute.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        thats mostly a gw2 thing

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Its the same all season long.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            no

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              as time goes on players are much more likely to be priced in increments inbetween the 500k gap we have between all players at the start

            2. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Lets see then. I bet there will be similar comments along the lines of "if you are about to get priced out then make the transfer" for the next 35 game weeks at least.

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                youve had an account for 4 years

                1. EMBOLOFAN
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  yes it still happens but becomes much more specific as managers have different amounts to spend and player prices become more incremental, so much less universal movement towards certain rising players

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Very much agree with you. The budget enablers in 15/16 of Mahrez, Vardy, Alli and Ighalo meant a template was quickly established and the game simply became about which premium players you had around this core of budget enablers who nobody was gonna lose due to the value tied up in them.

      3. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        These comments are ridiculous

        It’s community scare mongering which is the issue here

        I guess it adds a second dilemma but it should be a consideration and it drives to hits for those that are impatient so that adds another element cost vs reward

      4. teddypicker
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sounds like more of an issue with people's comments of who we 'should and shouldn't' be bringing in.
        Increasing player value early is a legitimate strategy to make it easier to afford valuable players later on in the season.

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Best managers are rewarded in points and TV for being brave and staying ahead of the curve when making transfers both in & out.

      Who cares about value tied up in Felipe Anderson is he is clearly not performing - good manager will sell and re-invest profit. Bad manager will have either no profit or no balls to sell.

        Which is why I like only taking half the profit ... it encourages people to incorrectly hang onto players who have lost form

      One the major plus's that the game has.
      Template enough as it is and adds a degree of tactics to the game that most others don't have.

    Hey who do i make a complaint to??
    A few weeks before the season started someone told me if you finished in the top 500k the following season you can't buy players over 10m. I fell for this and i am stuck with a terrible team. This is not fair!!

          I had a well documented injury crisis that season when i only got 60 points, incuding to myself, i broke both my thumbs so couldn't make transfers.

        I like Pukki a lot. He was automatic last season and also had a strong summer.

        Other than City, I think he can still rack up points against Chelsea.

        I'm currently on just Kane up top and was waiting to see who emerged from Pukki or Kean, will likely add another striker in a few weeks time.

        believe it or not it is in fact the opposite

        I saw the Manchester United match. They were lucky to keep a clean sheet. Jota just might score

        Wolves in Europe worries me especially now the have Cutrone to back them up. Rotation risk or missing too many minutes puts me off!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          With them winning first leg in Armenia 4-0 am hoping they will rest Jota and Cutrone will make his debut in that game.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Another option would be to play the first team but treat it as a training match, trying out tactics for Sunday.

              Nuno seems pretty keen to progress in this competition and given they will likely face Torino (5-0 up currently) in the final round before group stage this may be their final opportunity in the competition to rest some players.

              Hopeful Jota owner here....

          'Dribbles' & 'Headers' simultaneously making impossibly stupid mistakes. Coincidence? I think not.

            To be fair plenty of people have done this with the Free Hit. He's not the first and won't be the last.

              Really? I wasn't aware it was easy to do this to be honest. Assumed the buttons were entirely seperate; if they're not then they should be.

                Yeah they are but...Lot's of folks made the same slip as the poster last season. Think it's because the other chips can be cancelled. Also plenty think Free Hit means an extra transfer for one week (a free -4 which forums all call 'hits') not a one week wildcard. They should just re-name it.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Have you confirmed the transfers whilst using it? If you have you're stuck with it. It can't be cancelled.

        Could straight swap him to Martial but it seems short sighted

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

        3. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Holding. Ignore the price drop. Unless Pep says something in the presser indicating he won’t play or still has injury troubles.

          1. Hits from the Bong
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Not sure Fornals will start, much as I like what I’ve seen in preseason. Tempted by a couple of iMcGinn, Martial, Pukki, Kane, Son, Rashford

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Deu to Pukki

      10. GoonerByron
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have 4 punts in my team that didn’t really come off as I’d hoped - Bilva, Moura, Benteke + King..

        Benteke + King were both invisible with not a single shot between them but play Sheff Utd and Villa this week..

        Moura got an assist but I was hoping for more and should at least start again against City.

        Bilva I thought would be nailed and didn’t play at all.. May or may not start against Spurs but is also likely to drop in price!

        Which, if any, should I get rid of yet? I have 1.0 ITB too.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Give them all another week since they all have fixtures they could score in. You'll be in a stronger position with 2FTs

            • 12 Years

            I know it was probably a punt to far but I thought - Nailed on, a few goals in preseason, looked fit again, 6.0..

            The alternative would have been Barkley anyway so I’m one point better off 😀

          do 2 trans next week or even a -4 (mini w/c)

        Someone please tell me what to do now. Not happy with Bournemouth assets and Deeney and not having any United assets. Who should go first? Plan is to kick Deeney out for pukki this GW and then think about Fraser and Wilson next GW. Will that be ok?

          If you're fretting about a lack of United assets, why not get Martial for Fraser?
          Or wait a week for 2FT and do Wilson/Digne for Rashford/AWB?
          Or Fraser/Zink > Mart/Maguire?
          Lots of options.

          1. OverTinker
            • 5 Years

            What about Fraser,Deeney to Rashford, McGinn?

              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

          I don't rate Deeney, especially after his performance. Your plan sounds good, looking at those upcoming fixtures for the players mentioned above. Don't know if it's worth taking a hit to transfer out both BOU players out unless you're after a certain player.

        I tell you who I can’t stand is that Adrian Durham, talks so much nonsense and his opinions are ridiculously laughable

          Sometimes I feel like he is just doing it to keep people intrested\frustrated\annoyed and keep on listening to his drive show.

            Absolutely, divides opinions to attract listeners and debates! Awful tactic!

          Probably need a Walker injury for that to happen

        Thinking of saving FT for GW3. GTG?

        Price changes are slow this year.........

          They are...can't believe Sterling and Allison haven't shifted yet

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Or Ederson!

            Allison has the red flag and a big initial ownership, could be some FPL manual manipulation going on there.

          Great, lets keep it that way

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            No way! Make's it boring. Everybody has the same team and there are no consequences for poor transfer business as you can just switch them back out

          We don't usually have the Super Cup to worry about - sensible people (not me!) are probably waiting to see if that results in any injuries

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            But they're getting bought in. Look at FPL stats. There are players that have been hovering around the 100 and -100 for "ages" now and they don't change

            1. HashAttack
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              How many players started GW1 ... there are now 5.95 million, so wondering if new players have no effect on the price

        Ser Harold Kane at 0.12% in the captain's poll. With 8 shots in gw 1, I can see him scoring vs City and getting 9 points, happy owner.

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Funny that 0.12% have managed to vote for him when he isn't an option to select on the poll! 😀

          1. HashAttack
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Kane's just not in the same class as Buendía (I had to look up who he is, but you can vote for him)

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He doesnt even show up on the poll for me so Im not surprised hes that low.

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I reckon he'll bang in 30 goals plus with a few assists to boot. He's out of the traps fit and hungry, and there's plenty of rubbish teams to eviscerate.

            1. Je suis le chat
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              30 goals in the season! I'll settle for a goal and assist at the weekend.

          He'll get injured in the intl break

        4. Thomas Jerome Newton
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He wasn't an option for me but showed as having 8 votes in results.
