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?

    CWilson to Pukki -4? Will catch the 0.2 swing with wilson looking close to dropping soon.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tough call. I’d be half tempted

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Did it yesterday but without any hits

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Same, done Perez to Martial aswel

    3. Penguin
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson for long term, puki form will dip

      1. thewhitepele
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It will dip for sure, but at under 7m he doesnt need to score 76 goals this season to be good 🙂

  2. RAFA THE GAFFA

    2FTs. Best move please experts?

    A. Pérez+Wilson >> Martial+Pukki
    B. Wilson+TAA+Moura >> Kane+AWB+Mount (-4)

    Heaton
    TAA • VVD • Digne • Zinchenko
    Salah • Sterling • Moura • Pérez
    Wilson • Jota
    (Pope, Rico, Dendonk, Greenwood)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I did Perez Wilson to Martial Pukki for free if that helps

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Evening mate. I would do B even though its a hit. Wilson price drop, TAA looking like a rotation issue and Son is back.........but I'm not convinced about Mount........I got 59pts this week.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Would you rather have Kane or Son though? Hmm

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just thinking short term A might be best and then go for Son

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Could work, but I would look at doing TAA and Wilson for AWB and Pukki and bank the dosh for next week....

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah also an option. Sick of Pérez though haha. He’s rubbish! I never should of got him

  3. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    King owners what you doing tempted to keep him after last GW could do something against City at home I personally think.

    1. RD
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I m tempted to downgrade him to Greenwood/Wickham and do Perez to Martial

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Martial is really tempting but already own Moura though I don't want to get rid of him can score of the bench which is important in FPL too.

    Bench one

    A) Lundstram (LEI)

      D, Wait until the clean sheet odds are posted.

    6. Soapy
      • 13 Years

      Cheers lads. Will go off bookies odds I think

  5. Jack da man
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    In a draft league, would you rather have:

    A) Sterling and Pukki
    B) Mane and Jiminez

    1. Shrimpy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. piquiblanco
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      b)

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

  6. Shrimpy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can I get some thoughts on a 3 way rotation with Montoya, Soyuncu, Pieters, Lund and Cantwell?
    Or downgrade VVD and upgrade 1 of the 4.5's.

    Rest of team is:
    VVD
    Mane, Sterling. KDB, Tony
    Kane, Pukki

    1. Soapy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same team as me. I've gone VVD to AWB and Pieters to Zinchenko.

      Playing two of Montoya, Soyuncu, Lund, Cantwell actually looks decent on paper fixture wise

      1. Shrimpy
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, how long is Mendy out for?

        1. Soapy
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          From Peps press conference Friday
          "What I want from
          @benmendy23
          is for him to be fit. To be available for training sessions every week. He’s had almost two years out and he needs to play. The first target is be fit rather than to play. To train regularly for a month then he has a chance to play."

          Would seem he's a while away yet.

  7. Karhumies
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Rose or Wan-Bissaka? Both Tottenham and United have excellent fixtures coming up. Can't see Palace or Newcastle scoring. Rose seems to offer more potential attacking returns, but the clean sheet potential of Tottenham is hard to estimate. United seems more consistent at the back.

    1. Kante FC
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      United defence over Spurs’. Maguire if you’re going for a United defender. Every set piece so far has been aimed at him. Only a matter of time before one turns into attacking returns!

      madness to sell with the next two fixtures..........we all knew Leicester first two fixtures were tough, why would you sell now ??

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        FT so don’t care

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Sold, form over fixtures for me and he’s been poor

    6. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He was sold with in 2 min of him being taken off the weekend. He was awful and out wide and played miles to deep.

  9. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Someone tell me why Salah and Perez is better than KDB and Son?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's cheaper...

      1. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        They were the same to start with

    2. Cornholi0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I can tell you why Salah and Mount/Trossard is better then KDB and Son, but not why Salah and Perez is better.

      1. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm so out of the loop. Should've done Barkley to Trossard before the fall

    3. el polako
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Out of them 4 which ones you would be comfortable to captain in every game ?

      1. Oldie99
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'll say Son once he bangs in 4 against Newc

        1. el polako
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Son had a long dry spell last season didnt he ?
          Good luck captaining him over that.

          1. Oldie99
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            i dont have Son but reckon i'll be crying about it in about 5 days

      2. mookie
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He'll probably have Sterling for that.

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Captain material?

    5. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They're not

  10. Frucke
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    On wc. What do you think?

    Pope
    Kwp, soyuncu, zinchenko, lundstram
    Martial, kdb, salah, sterling
    Kane, barnes

    Cantwell hanley wickham

    1. Oldie99
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably dont need to tell you that there's a lot of risk in that back 4

      If you believe it's worth having that midfield then go for it but i sh*t myself looking at that defense and how imbalanced the team is

      remember that once you've used your wildcard, you'll have to take loads of hits once/if Pool start getting cleanos + if Everton keep going clean

      My only piece of real advise is to go Salah -> Mane and upgrade a Defender

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This re the back 4

      2. Frucke
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you for input. You point out what I'm worried about. I will consider a better defence.

    2. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice

      1. Frucke
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ty

    Current team below, sitting 150p and desperately want to give the Leicester guys another 2 weeks.

    But, am I carrying too much risk having 31 million locked up in Perez Moura Wilson Vardy for GW3? What would you do here?

    Heaton
    Rob Digne Dunk Cathcart
    Salah Sterling Perez Moura
    Wilson Vardy

    Pope Donck Lund Greenwood

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no
      yes no no no
      no yes no no
      no no
      yes yes yes yes

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle are in a shambles and if Kane matches Pukki's hattrick then I am still happy having Pukki.

    Pukki enables me to have Sterling, Salah, KDB, TAA and VVD.

    I might have used 2 FT's and a -8 hit but I reckon I am sorted for the rest of the season.

    Still have my WC too if it goes tits up and least will not have to worry about Perez and Vardy dropping in price.

    Now just to pick the right captain for GW3.

    1. AuFeld
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A lot more Kane owners are more likely to captain Kane then Pukki owners. Kane's EO will be massive compared to Pukki's haul.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not that I will captain Pukki this weekend or the next.

        I can choose from Sterling, Salah and KDB.

        Having Kane, I am not that spoilt for choice.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It could be too late to ise WC by then, but time will tell 🙂

  13. mcgrejam
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Deciding on a formation....

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

    A or B please?

  14. FPL Dakes
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else going into this next GW without any Spurs/United?

    Feels risky but willing to save FT and give Sigurdsson Perez another week

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No, I will still wait on the likes UTD assets.

      Martial has not been all that.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No, Moura and Martial my GW3 lads

    3. crikeybruce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No Spurs or United here. Highly concerned but I have Sigurdsson instead of Martial and Vardy instead of Kane. Going to hold out for 2 more weeks then see where we stand!

  15. Woy_is_back
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sell Salah for Sterling, no brainer right?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I do not believe even Roy Hodgson will pull such a move.

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not a no brainer. Salah is key to everything Pool does. Sterling will get the odd rotation. Could be fine, but not a no brainer

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Brainer

    4. Kante FC
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only way you can consider going without Salah is if you have Mane. Going without them both is dangerous.

  16. mattyb09
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Not a bad start. 142 pts, OR 159,542

    WC Squad to get the dead-weight off my team... What do you all think?

    Adrian (Button)
    Robbo Digne AWB Dunk (Lundstram)
    Mane KDB Martial Mount (Ceballos)
    Kane Rashford (Wickham)

    Cheers!

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      Hard to say without seeing the moves/old squad

      1. mattyb09
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Old Squad...

        Pope (McGovern)
        Robbo VVD Digne Zinchenko (Lundstram)
        Salah KDB Barkley Perez (Dendocker)
        Kane Wilson (Greenwood)

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Thats fine if you havent hit WC already

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Your rank is better than mine, not sure why you WC ing? Looks great team (for now) just don’t like Adrian

      1. mattyb09
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Because if you wait too long to WC, you'll:
        a) get priced out of players you want
        b) lose your ranking by holding onto poorly performing players

    3. Cornholi0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Guys, how is this wc team? Defence is rubbish, I will rotate them according to fixtures, but the rest is cool I guess

    Pope (Button)
    Maitland-Lowton-J.Lewis-Rico-Lundstram
    Salah-Sterling-KDB-Martial-Ceballos
    Kane-Pukki (Wickham)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah as you said don’t like the defence

    2. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Defence is rubbish??? no mate, its abysmal. The worst ive seen on here....ever. No offence. Can't go ahead with this.

  18. nolard

    Who are people moving Ay. Perez for?

    1. AuFeld
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mount, Trossard, or Martial if they have the funds.

    2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      mount-trossard-maddison-lanzini-bernard

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mount

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      There is also McGinn.

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I shipped for Martial

  19. Jenks

    Are we expecting Moise Kean to start over DCL on Friday?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no

  20. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    im transferring out Perez and Matip to Mount and Shaw for free. Is it a good move? im more interested in attacking Shaw than defending AWB

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Still think AWB will outscore Shaw and can get a few assists himself

    2. Kante FC
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maguire if you’re looking at a United defender. See my response to Karhumies above. Decent transfers though to answer your question.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Every set piece seemed to be aimed at his bonce yesterday

  21. The-Red-1

    Who gets more points this weekend: Kane -4 points, or Auba

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Would you captain Kane?

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What's the point of even owning Kane if you don't captain him at home to Newcastle ?

      2. AuFeld
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I am.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

    3. AuFeld
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Risky. LIV defense looks unsettled.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I would be more worried about Arsensls defence with Firmino, Salah and Salah talking to each other.

  22. Emiliano Sala
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any further news on Digne? Will he be fit?

    1. Miguel Sanchez

        It's a pain in the ass that Everton's fixture is on Friday. If it's as minor as it sounds, the extra day or two might've made a difference.

    Probably taking some hits over the next few weeks to get team I want. I think TAA won’t play versus Arsenal (as versus Chelsea). So TAA to AWB for -4? It’s long term move and think united defence looks good.

    Play 1

    Dendonker
    Diop
    Lundy

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lundy

    Digne isn’t yellow flagged in my team on the fpl website but when looking on his info he is ?? Anyone else or just me ??
    It’s very misleading.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah similar here

      1. Captain Warlock
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Pitch view no flag, list view yellow flag ?
        That could cause serious frustration

    2. Zenith UK

      Mobile app broken still

      1. Captain Warlock
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t use mobile app I’m on actual website

        1. Maddi Son
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That's odd. On the website he's flagged on the pitch view for me.

          1. Captain Warlock
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Very odd ??

    Salah ✓
    Sterling ✓
    Mane ✓
    KdB ✓
    Kane ✓

    Mon existent defense and bench ✓

    Wildcard is ready 🙂

    1. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years

      *Non

    2. Zenith UK
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure if I wanna say how or wow 😀

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        More like "Oh dear...what have you done"

        1. Zenith UK
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Best I've got (excluding Salah);

          Pope, McGovern
          Digne, Zinc, AWB, Kelly, Lund
          Sterling, Mane, KDB, Martial, Ceballos
          Kane, Greenwood, Wickham

          1. SAUCY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            That does actually turn me on

            1. Zenith UK
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              What would you play this week?
              Ceballos over Greenwood?
              Lund over Kelly?

              1. SAUCY SALAH
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yes and yes

                1. Zenith UK
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Arguments could also be made to downgrade Digne to Mina and use the extra 0.5M elsewhere (Kelly to Pieters for example)

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The rest of the team must be atrocious.

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It certainly is 🙂

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ha ha
          I like your style !

    Anyone able to teach me how to read the price rise/fall website please? On wildcard so catching a rise or two might be nice across the week

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Likely price risers will be close to or over 100%

      Likely fallers will be close to or over -100%

      The more blue or red arrows the more people are buying/selling

      1. Zenith UK
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you 🙂
        Got link for me please?

    2. SAUCY SALAH

      If above 100 or below -100 at around midnight they're likely to change

        Cheers!

    3. clodhopper

      1. Zenith UK
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago
