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?

    Perez and Fraser to (I have Pukki).

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years

        Agree

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

      KDB all the way. Martial won't matter if you cannot have him too.

    5. JK-R9

  2. Greenbackbøøg…

    Is it too risky to have a bench of

    Greenwood - Lundstram - Kelly (or whoever is the best 4.0)?

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

      I personally wouldn't like that bench. Surely with Pep roulet and maybe some changes in the Liverpool defense over the season.

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

      Lundstram already rised in price.

      Concentrate on your 1st eleven.

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

    Mount Pukki - sounds like a popular holiday destination.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Or an adult film.

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Mina Mount's Pukki

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Or a proud accomplishment on the toilet

      3. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Pukki means goat in English, so perhaps illegal one...

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

          These are the best ones...

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

        Wait until the next time Norwich fans sing "Teemu Pukki OoOoOoOoHhHh"

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

    A) Keep Perez
    B) Perez > £7.9mid (-4 hit)

    If B then who is best replacement (already have Martial)

    1. barcaa7
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B with Mount/Trossard

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

      You can always go Perez for Trossard.

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

      Lanzini maybe an option

  5. grooveymatt65

    hi guys team is

    Pope Button

    Van Dijk Coleman Bednerak Diop Simpson
    Salah De Bruyne Richarlison Maddison Stephens
    Kane Wilsom Ings

    2ft 0.0itb

    need a second opinion please, what would you do?

    1. Bednarek to Lundstram, Ings to Pukki and Richarlison to Martial for -4
    2. Bednarkek to Lundstram and Richarlison to Martial for free
    3. Maddison to Martial and Van Dijk to Wan Bissaka for free
    4. Van Dijk to Maquire and Ings to Pukki for free
    5. Save
    6. Other

    thanks guys 🙂

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

      Salah, VVD and KDB to stay.

      If you not happy with Wilson, Pukki may be a good shout.

      You will be missing Sterling though and do not do it for Salah or KDB.

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

      For me nr 2 and nr 3 are the best options there.

      Possibly Wilson to Pukki and Richarlison to Martial ? And then some extra cash to spend on your next transfer

    3. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      This looks like a wildcard for me. I'd be wanting to ship Bednarek, Diop, Simpson, Richarlison, Maddison, Stephens, Wilson and Ings.

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

        Pooodle = best advise of the day!

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Richa, Maddison, Ings, Wilson to Sterling + Pukki + X + Y?!? -8

      3. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        richarlison should have had a couple against watford, fine margins

    4. grooveymatt65
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      thanks for the replies guys! I'll consider 2 or 3!

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Don’t normally encourage an early wild card but yes this does have it written all over it.

    5. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      6. Wild card

      Besides midfield changes, I would be looking for a second 4.5 GK, a City defender, and possibly a United/Wolves/Leicester defender (based on 5.5/5.0/4.5 available budget for the 4th def slot) and going down to 2 forwards, possibly 11.0+ and 6.5+.

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

    Who do you prefer:

    A) Trossard
    B) Mount

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

      haha coin toss really. Maybe Mount? 🙂

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

      I like A because he was really brilliant last season at Genk. Don't know much about Mount.

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

        Promoted from championships

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

          Trossard was one of the main reason Genk could win the Belgian competition so they both have proven something I guess?

    4. barcaa7
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

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

      Trossard all the way.

    6. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

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

      B)

    8. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B), by a long, long way.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Why though? Seriously, I dont have enough knowledge

  7. PrettyDick
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Two thoughts I'd love to hear your thoughts on:

    1.A) Mane + Rashford (No spurs and double Man U)
    or
    B) Son + Firmino?

    2. Which, if any, 5.5 attacker would you pick? Needs to be playing more than Wickham / Greenwood for that extra million, but would still be benched some times.

    1. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think I’d prefer A because both could explode. Firmino more likely to be steady but not spectacular.

      I wouldn’t bother moving either of those 4.5 to a 5.5 FWD. I think that $1M is better spent elsewhere.

  8. 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. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A for me

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

      A

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That's a close one, if we ignore both Liverpool & ManU players with the assumption they get similar points. Then B edges for me due to KDB

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

      If you have 2-3 defenders you can basically start every week, I would go with B.

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

        My two starting defenders are a pick from AWB and Mina/Zinchenko...I’m tempted by B

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

          My team could be...

          Pope
          Mina, AWB, Lundstrom
          KDB, Ceballos, Mane, Martial, Sterling
          Pukki, Kane

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

            My current team is very similar after GW1 WC.

            Ryan - Pope
            Robertson, Coleman, Boly, Soyuncu, Kelly (looking to switch Robbo + Kelly into Zinc + 5.5 def over next 2 weeks)
            Mane, Sterling, KDB, Ceballos, Dendoncker (should have chosen Cantwell over Denk I think)
            Auba, Pukki

            I feel that there are "natural pairings":

            Assists -> Goals
            Ceballos -> Auba
            Cantwell -> Pukki
            KDB -> Sterling

            When any of those pairings has an "on" week, it's a points magnet. When they are facing tough opposition, time to bench Cantwell/Ceballos.

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

    2FT

    A) TAA + King to AWB + Pukki

    B) KDB in for a hit

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

      A

  10. the vanisher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Chances% of Kean starting on Friday?

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

      20%

  11. Wheyyyy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Resisting the urge to WC and going with this -4...

    Robbo/Wilson/Fraser to Son/Rashford/Lund.

    Attacking this GW with Son at home to New and Rash at home to Palace. Leaves me with a nice 3-5-2 and WC in hand. Thoughts?

    Ryan - (Button)
    VVD - Maguire - Digne - (Lund - Rico)
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Perez - McGinn
    Rashford - Adams - (Greenwood)

    Happy to give Adams/Perez another week to prove themselves with decent fixtures.

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think Son is overthinking when KDB is on fire at the same price.

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

        I just do not see any value when it comes to Spurs players. Kane has like two shots on target this season lol.

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          2 shots or like 2 shots ?

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

        Yeah I have been weighing up whether to go KDB instead but I just love that Newcastle fixture.. I suppose KDB @ Bournemouth could also work out well. It's a tough decision! I just feel Son is going to come out firing! Will he definitely start though, that's the question!

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

          Going KDB leaves me with 0.1ITB and their next four fixtures do look mighty tasty..

          1. Pooodle
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            KDB is the route I'm going. Bournemouth's defensive stats have been pretty poor this season too and City have looked great going forward.

          2. Karhumies
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Bournemouth already conceded 1 against Sheffield and 1 against Villa. I plan to use the triple captain bonus on Sterling because City is all fired up after not getting the 6-2 win over Tottenham they deserved because they were so wasteful.

  12. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Siggy and Pérez price drops are going to be tough

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've got Wilson, Perez & Jota with price drops but I will be riding myself of one of them today/tomorrow

  13. AJ24
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) Bern Silva & Siggy -> KDB & Cebelos 0.7 ITB

    B) Bern Silva, Siggy and Jiminez -> Mount Cebelos & Kane (-4) 0.8 ITB

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

      KDB and Trossard more appealing.

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

        This

  14. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Two questions:

    A) Why didn't Balbuena start?
    B) Is Leitner nailed now?

  15. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How about this for a WC team?

    Pope, Button
    VVD, Zinchenko, Lundstram, Montoya, Kelly
    Sterling, Salah, KDB, Martial, Cantwell
    Jimenez, Jota, Pukki

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      From your name you probably won't want this feedback but double Wolves strikeforce seems a bit optimistic...

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

      Too much on the midfield for me and too less in defence and wouldn't double up on Wolverhampton attack.

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Jimenez to 4.5 for +3M

      +0.5 second GK
      +2.5M upgrade 2 defenders for 4-4-2 formation (Cantwell bench unless easy fixture)

      Wolves has better value in defense than offense currently IMO.

  16. TONEY HONEY
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Will Son play above 75 minutes this weekend?

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

      Good question, could be the last 15 mins

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

      I think so. Coming from suspension (not injury) and Poch gonna want him up to speed for Arsenal the following week.

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs all of sudden have too many options in the attacking positions. Le Celco needs to be integrated plus Son, Moura, Eriksen & Lemela with Alli returning soon. In my eyes its Kane or no one if you want nailed on

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

      Yes. No way he doesnt start.

    5. @sund1ata
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think so.

    6. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No, he'll get a red card by then

  17. Steirish
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is montoya nailed ? After him or dunk

  18. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you rather have for this GW... Rashford or Vardy?

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

      Marcus

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

      Rashford

    3. @sund1ata
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rashford

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years

    Warning to all C. Wilson owners, I’ve just sold him. Still never had a single goal from him on my team in 3 years. Enjoy your high scoring weekend!

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Haha damn I’ve sold

    2. Pep's Money Laundry

      And here I was thinking I thought I had it bad with Wilson all these years

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years

        A bit bloody late sold last night!

      Why couldn't you tell me this, EARLIER??? 😆

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

        Haha 🙂 He’s gone now. Went for Pukki and Martial to keep my team structure. Will hide Sunday when we play Spurs

  20. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would you consider

    A) Sterling Salah KDB as 3 premiums

    Same question for

    B) Sterling, Mane, KDB

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

      Have A, will probably go B at some point.

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

      I don't understand the question. Is this A or B, or the question within each?

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Would you consider A / B as premium players ?

    3. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

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

    I have a lot of ITB, rest of attack is Sterling, KDB, Pukki, Kane:
    A. Mane, have to play Dendonker or Hayden, or 5 at the back.
    or
    B. Martial + [Trossard/Mount/etc] - much more flexibility.

  22. BURNS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A) KDB and Kane (+0.9m)

    B) Martial and Aguero

    Have Sterling already

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A all day long

    2. Garth Marenghi

    Hi all
    How about this -4:
    Wood, Perez & Wilson
    To

    Perez gets 2 more weeks to redeem himseIf
    Stupid or hopeful?

    If Kane blanks this week (against a rickety Newcastle defence) I'm switching to Auba.
    Knee Jerk or sensible move?

    Why do I have a feeling Arsenal's defense will be less leaky this year, and Luiz will be the pick of the bunch.
    Misguided or insightful?

    1. @sund1ata

      I was going to go with Kane but keeping Auba. Selling Perez, hopeful but will be priced out of good mids like Martial. Arsenal will continue to leak unfortunately, especially with AMN as their RB.

      I’m waiting for these next 2 games, see how Auba does, will bring in if he’s solid.

      Perez to Ceballos in gw5 looks good, depending on his minutes of course

    Having seen Jota and Jiminez play so far this season I don't think Jiminez is worth 1.0 more. Agreed?

    1. @sund1ata
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed.

    2. DAVESAVES

      Jimenez will probably score more as I see him get more minutes as their first striker. But Jota can be very explosive so he’s my pick atm

      europa league and premier league do not mix

      Yeah, Jota my pick.

    How to use my two free transfers?

    A) Wilson & Salah --> Rashford & Mané
    B) Wilson & Pérez --> Pukki & Martial

        Why get rid of Salah to fit in Rashford? Just do not understand this logic!!!

        And will Rashford score more than Wilson?

        Mané seems in better form than Salah, and Bournemouth has been awful. I also have King and I want more balance to my team.

        1. FOO FIGHTER

          It has only been two gameeks. Salah attacking returns in GW1.

          Mane's turn GW2. How can it be that Mane is in better form when we are when we are not even finished GW3 with both having attacking returns?

          I am not saying Mane is not the one to go for but having Mane may mean you cannot get Salah when looking at his points return over the last 2 seasons. Salah is pretty much a set and forget in your team along with Sterling.

    Potential WC to this...

    Pope
    Mina, AWB, Lundstrom
    Ceballos, KDB, Sterling, Mane, Martial
    Pukki, Kane

    No playing subs except Kelly - worth a gamble or not?
