Why are Liverpool yet to keep a clean sheet in 2019/20?

Owners of Liverpool defenders are becoming increasingly concerned with their defensive potential this season.

After keeping 21 clean sheets last season, Jurgen Klopp’s men are yet to record one in 2019/20.

Liverpool have already conceded to Norwich at Anfield as well as against Southampton in Gameweek 2.

With many Fantasy managers still doubled-up at the back for the Reds, we have taken another look at the data to see what we can learn.

The aim is to discover whether or not Liverpool have been unfortunate not to keep a clean sheet yet or if there are serious issues at the back for them.

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

How did Liverpool’s defence do in Gameweek 2?

    Is Sigurdsson and Wilson to Mount and Kane worth a -4?

    I do have Mane, KDB and Sterling.

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

      This would be a good midfield

    2. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Id say so yes especially if Kane C

    3. Andre_The_Giant
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If you're planning to captain Kane then it probably is

    4. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Imo yes

    Hi all.
    Saving WC for later on the season. 2 FT.

    Ryan
    Robbo VVD Digne
    Salah Siggy Perez Sterling
    Deeney Jimenez King

    Stekelenburg Lundstram Kelly Dendoncker

    Robbo out for?
    A.Laporte,
    B.AWB,
    C.Zinchenko
    D.Walker

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wondering why Robbo the first to go in that team?

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

        To free up cash and double Pool defense.

      2. Stoneleigh
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yer, I agree - other priorities surely

    2. N00B
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Laporte but I will change Deeney, Perez and Siggy before Robertson

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

        Tbf second FT would be used to move one those that you have mentioned. Deeney to Pukki most likely...

    3. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Perez > Mount/McGinn + Deeney > Pukki?

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

        Actually like this. Cheers

    4. Andre_The_Giant
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Robbo is the least of your worries. Deeney should probably be first on your chopping board

  3. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bringing in Martial and Pukki. Which option to sell?

    A) Siggy & King
    B) Perez & Wilson

    1. N00B
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Tommytour

    G2G? Sterling or KDB for captaincy?

    Heaton
    TAA Laporte AWB Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Trossard
    Pukki Jota

    Bench: Button, TAA, Greenwood, Dendoncker

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

      Sterling or Salah

    2. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've gone Salah

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      TAA benched or to play?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Odd question.

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

          Have seen a few VVD (ARS) or Lundstram (LEI) questions this week

        2. Stoneleigh
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          His question is because the guy has TAA on the bench and in his defence.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            This thx

      2. N00B
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        benched

  5. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    New WC team, thoughts please - note: leaves 3M ITB.

    Pickford
    Digne, Laporte, AWB, Lundstram
    Sterling, Martial, NDombele, KDB
    Rashford, Pukki

    McGovern, Pieters, Ceballos, Wickham

    Alternatively;
    Laporte, NDombele & Pukki > Zinc, 5.8MID & Kane?

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

      i like the alternative a lot more. You have double everton... i would think about changing one to afford Laporte over Zinc and a 6.0 mid as well

      1. Tommytour
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Make the change and try hard to get Mount

        1. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I moved too late on the WC to get Mount in, I'm 0.2M off

    2. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      One of Salah or Mane in has to be in...

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Can switch out Sterling/KDB later date for them (don't fancy them against Arsenal - however every call I've made so far this season has been wrong)

        1. luk46
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Salah/Mane + Sterling + KDB could fit all together and I would try it!

  6. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Hmmm - interesting.

    United attack could pay in the short term.

    Very dubious about Mount but he seems popular. I’d certainly want City defence got their golden run.

    What happens when you get an injury?

  7. Kim Jong Kün
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who scores most over the next few gameweeks,
    A - Martial
    B - Rashford
    C - Mane

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

      C - mostly in GW5

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

      Mane

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

    Which is worse: go without utd or kane this gw?

    Have AWB. Must choose between getting Martial or Kane, both will be for a hit (unless I make my WC fantasy come true)

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

      Kane - captaincy option and a one man golden boot crusade on Sunday evening

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

        Thinking the same. So close to wildcarding out of fear that I’ll be priced out of getting the team I really want

  9. FlyingWithoutIngs
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who scores more GW 3

    A) Lloris And AWB

    B) DDG And digne

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

      A - Digne might not play

      1. FlyingWithoutIngs
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        What if digne was confirmed to play?

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

          Not much in it - both keepers should get 6, so its Digne (avl) vs AWB (CPA). Digne would probably need attacking returns to beat AWB's BPS.

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

      A

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

    My current team with a -4, would you WC this team if Digne is injured?

    -4:
    Pope
    Robbo TAA Digne kelly rico
    Sterling KDB martial Perez Mount
    Kane Jota greenwood

    Potential WC team:

    Pope
    Walker AWB soyunju kelly lundstram
    Sterling KDB Son Martial Cantwell
    Kane Rashford wickham

    Thanks in advance

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

      Don't WC - you have a good team there.

    2. FlyingWithoutIngs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn’t waste your wildcard this early

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Meehh.. just keep your team.

    4. Akeem
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No I wouldn't WC in your case

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

      I like the WC team but do you want to use it now?

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

      thanks all

  11. Shrimpy
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on an Everton double up in defence?
    Can't afford Digne but an 11m combo of Mina and Coleman?
    Decent next 10 fixtures.

    1. FlyingWithoutIngs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Coleman not nailed so would avoid

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

        He is a club captain.

        1. zizoo10
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          So is Ashley young

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

            But Coleman actually performs well.

      2. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        What???

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Seems unnecessary, especially since Digne is by far the best Everton defender

  12. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Do you guys reckon Bernardo > Martial is a good move?

    1. FlyingWithoutIngs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      For free yes

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Tis indeed free, cheers

    2. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial more nailed than Bernardo imo

  13. Kim Jong Kün
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Any Everton fans' thoughts on Moise Kean?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I just read an article where it said Silva will manage his minutes until he gets up to speed as he hasn't played much football (he is a teenager remember). Nobody is doubting his ability, especially when DCL looks a championship player. Comments in the same article hypothesised 30 minutes in the next game, and a home debut thereafter. Seems plauisble.

      1. Kim Jong Kün
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Very helpful, thank you.

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

        Yep

        Read much the same. Silva isn’t exactly bigging him up as a difference maker in the short term.

        Young - inexperienced (different point) - new league - time to adapt etc

      3. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, I transferred him out as I think it will be a while before he starts to click

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

    Best option for the final spot? Have 5.0 to spend

    Pope, Button
    AWB, Soyuncu, ???? (Kelly, Lundstrom)
    Martial, Sterling, KDB, Mcginn, Mane
    Kane, Pukki, (Wickham)

    A Montoya
    B Pieters
    C Zouma
    D KWP

    1. Geordie19
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Zouma

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nice. I've gone Zinchenko over 5.5 mid, city got good fixtures.

      Would prefer Montoya ( or Dunk) if you want 3-5-2.

  15. Geordie19
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Start King, Soyunco or Lundstram?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      form...lundstram

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lundstram

  16. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How's this draft chaps?

    Pope
    Zinchenko, AWB, Lundstram, Dunk
    Mane, Sterling, KDB, Martial
    Kane, Pukki

    (Button, Dendoncker, Soyuncu, Greenwood)

    Lundstram/Dunk/Dendoncker/Soyuncu rotation looks decent for the next 4 weeks..

    Cheers

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Would be my WC if I played it. Very nice

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Can't decide between Zinchenko in 4-4-2 and Mount in 3-5-2. Think this is the most balanced and want 3 x city...

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

      Why do you keep posting my team 😉

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

    Watching the Chelsea Leicester highlights again reaffirms my decision to do Perez to Mount. Can easily see Albrighton coming in for Ayoze on Saturday, Leicester were a different side with Albrighton on the right.

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Agree. Think Maddison is the midfield pick from Leicester

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

        Looks that way for those with the extra 0.5

    2. Captain Remorse
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Agree, but not sold on anyone yet at 6.5 or below.

    3. Andre_The_Giant
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Also on the Mount train. Do you reckon he's nailed on for the time being?

  18. nolard
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pogba to Martial?

    Yay?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes definitely

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

        done

  19. zizoo10
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best week in week out duo alongside Robertson/Zinchenko

    A) TAA + Lundstram
    B) Digne + KWP(rotate Lundstram)

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Unsure how long KWP will keep his place. When are Aurier or Foyth back?

      1. zizoo10
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ye he definitely won’t. Aurier rumoured to leave. Foyth back in training September. I’ll be honest I have already chosen B yeaterday, but regret not going A. Just want to see what others think

        1. Riders of Yohan
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Ah I see, digne is an risk this week too. Fingers crossed for you

        2. Riders of Yohan
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          But after first 2 weeks Liverpool surely won’t keep a cleanie

    2. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      So he keeps his place for a few games at least. Best option for 5m or below imo...

      1. zizoo10
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ye that was my thinking. A cs against Newcastle should pay off the decision

  20. Riders of Yohan
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What to do here lads?
    2FT 0ITB

    Heaton / button
    TAA / VVD / Digne / Lund / Rico
    Salah / Sterling / Martial / Tross / Dend
    Vardy / King / Adams

    A) Bring in KDB for a hit
    B) bring Kane in
    C) Downgrade TAA to 5.5 and upgrade king to Pukki
    D) anything else?

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    (Buttomed last page)

    Pretty set on this wildcard. So do me a solid and tear it apart so I can go back to the tinkering.

    Ryan
    TAA Digne AWB
    Sterling KDB Martial Mount McGinn*
    Kane Rashford

    Subs: Button Lundstram Wickham Hanley

    0.2 ITB
    *Ceballos instead maybe?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Going without Salah or Mane would still scare me too much. Otherwise like it a lot

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        There are many options that are scary to go with out. You can't have them all. So much good value in midfield forces me to go with Kane as of now

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

          “... So much good value in midfield forces me to go with Kane as of now ...”. Agree, value is key. I don’t see the long-term value in Kane however. Good luck.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            You don't see long term value in a guy who has won the golden boot in EPL 2 out 4 years?

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

              :). “Value” as in points/GBP (i.e., like Jimi last year - the only forward to make it into the Value 11).

    2. zizoo10
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No Liverpool mid is basically saying I don’t want to finish inside the top 1m

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Well.. I never finished out side of top 20k. We'll see 🙂

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

      Reply fail somewhere above.

      Interesting. Feel double United attack could pay short term and get lots of TV :-).

      I’d want City defence for their run coming.

      Super weak bench could be a problem going forward.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        As long as I got 2x starting players on my bench im okay with them being 'weak'. They are just gonna be backups nothing else.

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years

        I agree City got tasty fixtures.. but not sure I'd trust Zinchenko to start every week. Laporte is just too expensive

      I thought Digne was out ??

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nothing confirmed as of yet.

    5. Shineonme
      • 7 Years

      You need to fit mane in and take Rashford out somehow. Taa to dunk and Digne to zinc to fund it.

    Is VvD and King to Maguire and Pukki a good move?

    Leaves me with this team:

    Ryan
    MAGUIRE-Robbo-Digne
    Sterling-Salah-Martial-Perez(ugh)-Hughes(ugh)
    Wilson-PUKKI

    I wish I could go for Moise Kean instead, but he still to get a start. I say this because the guy infront of me in my ML has Pukki.

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years

      Tempted to do something similar myself. Personally prefer AWB or Shaw

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

        He has AWB as well.. So it's between Maguire(who seems to be the main target on every set piece) or Shaw who's offensive, but not that great going forward.

        1. Riders of Yohan
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Oh I see. Shaw had a good first half against wolves

      Looking at differentials in gw3 is a big NO. Play your own game, dont care about your rivals.

  23. Frucke
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Play Cantwell, lundstram or hanley?

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

      Lund

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

        Ty

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lundy

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

        Ty

  24. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Kane + Cantwell Fredricks (rotating)
    B) Barnes Son Kelly (perma bench)

    Which one lads?

    1. Onana Whatsmyname
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The one with Son

  25. Lebowski85
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A or B on a wildcard

    A) Digne Walker VVD Ceballos
    or
    B) Mina Zinchenko WanB Martial

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

      B, but I'm bias.

    2. luk46
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A, but could do Zinchenko/AWB for Walker there. Martial seems really good value, no chance to fit him in? Mount or McGinn over Ceballos.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B for sure

    4. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It's worth noting that this would make my midfield

      Salah Sterling KdB Son Martial

  26. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Wilson + Robinson + Robertson to Greenwood + De Bruyne + Zinchenko (-4)?

    Would give me:

    Pope
    VVD - Digne - Zinchenko - Zouma
    Salah - Sterling - De Bruyne - Martial
    Deeney - Jota

    McGovern, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Greenwood

    Thanks guys!

    Already at -4. Would you make it to -8 with Perez -> Martial or give Perez next two gameweeks?

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

      Hold

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

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

      Martial (CPA) probably outscores Perez (shu) by 4 points as I think the latter may be benched for Albrighton.

  28. Rushford
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Although it seems a safe bet and no brainer to jump on the KdB train, I’m still intrigued to go Son instead. Have no clue on his form but he should go straight into the starting XI and can possibly score big from the start. Both have good fixtures. Who do you guys prefer?

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KDB

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

      I preffer the one which already showed great form.

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

      I prefer waiting a week and seeing how Son performs.

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

        i have a feeling Son will be good but have a negative effect on Kane. So I'm holding my guns till I see what happens.

  29. mcgrejam
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Deciding on a formation...

    A) Laporte, McGinn, Salah, Rashford
    B) Lundstrom, Mane, De Bryune, Martial

    A or B please?

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

      A

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

      Easy for me B

  30. Cornholi0

    What would you do with this team and 1 free transfer and 0,4 in the bank?

    Ryan

    TAA, Robertson, Walker-Peters, Lundstram (Rico)

    Salah, De Bruyne, Sigurdsson, Martial (Dendoncker)

    Kane, Pukki (Wickham)

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

      Save FT

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

      I think I might save the transfer with your team.
