Fabinho bolsters Liverpool defence as Werner shows promise ahead of West Brom

Chelsea 0-2 Liverpool

  • Goals: Sadio Mané x2 (£11.9m)
  • Assists: Roberto Firmino (£9.4m)
  • Penalty saves: Alisson (£6.0m)
  • Penalty misses: Jorginho (£5.0m)
  • Red cards: Andreas Christensen (£5.0m)
  • Bonus points: Mané x3, Alisson x2, Trent Alexander-Arnold x1 (£7.5m), Virgil van Dijk x1 (£6.5m)

In Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Chelsea on Sunday, Sadio Mané (£11.9m) reminded Fantasy Premier League managers of his goal-scoring advantage over Mohamed Salah (£12.1m) in away matches.

The Senegalese international found the net seven times on the road last season, behind only Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) among his Liverpool colleagues. Crucially, that accounted for 38.9% of Mané’s league goals in 2019/20, a sizeable chunk.

By contrast, just four of Salah’s 19 league efforts went in away from Anfield, 21% of his overall total, and the Egyptian already has one blank from a possible one on the road this season, this time recorded at former club, Chelsea.

Salah was full of running at Stamford Bridge, and he was enthusiastic in the shot once again, but just as was often the case away from home last season, Mané was the one to really shine.

It was his powerful run which forced a last-ditch foul from Andreas Christensen (£5.0m), resulting in a red card shortly before half-time.

And it was Mané’s famed ability in the air that put Liverpool in front. Firmino got around the back of Marcos Alonso (£6.0m) on the right-hand side, crossing for Mané to skip clear of Kurt Zouma (£5.0m) and substitute Fikayo Tomori (£4.9m) and nod beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.0m).

Then, just minutes later, Mané was on-hand to capitalise on yet another catastrophic error from the Chelsea goalkeeper. After giving the ball up to Tomori, he chased down the pass-back to Kepa, blocking the attempted clearance inside the box and firing underneath the panicked shot-stopper for 2-0.

“I think in the first half Sadio was really close to blocking it there already but you just have to do it. I love it when we get rewards for this kind of situation. The first goal was a nice piece of football, everybody involved pretty much. Firmino cross and then Sadio comes in front of his man, so it’s really difficult to defend. Good goal and gave the game the right direction.” – Jurgen Klopp

It is games like this one that certainly bolsters the theory that it doesn’t matter which premium Liverpool asset you own – as long as you stick to the one you’ve got, recognising the strengths and weaknesses in comparison to the other.

Salah gets most of his work done at Anfield, he takes the penalties and usually bests his colleague for the sheer frequency of shots. Meanwhile, as evidenced by the win at Chelsea, Mané is better in the air, receives more of the so-called bigger, higher-quality chances suited to dangerous counter-attacks and typically finds the net more often away from home.

On that note, two of Liverpool’s next three matches occur on the road, Jurgen Klopp’s men set to for visits to Villa Park and Goodison Park. That said, five of their next three are at Anfield, Arsenal, Sheffield United and West Ham the next three sides scheduled to visit Salah’s hunting ground.

Liverpool’s attacking credentials were also boosted at Stamford Bridge as new signing Thiago Alcantara (£6.0m) made his debut in central midfield.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich man came on to replace Jordan Henderson (£5.5m) at half-time after the club captain sustained a thigh problem. Unsurprisingly, Thiago was able to make a big impact on proceedings, stringing together 74 successful passes in just 45 minutes, the fourth-most in the whole match.

Admittedly, such a tally was recorded against a 10-man team but this well-documented ability of Liverpool’s new number six is likely to come in handy when they face deep blocks in the future. Aston Villa (away), Everton (away) and Sheffield United (home) are three of their next four opponents who could employ such a tactic.

“Then we had to make the decision and decided for Thiago because, even without training against 10 men, he’s then pretty much the perfect player on that position, I would say. Everything he did today was completely natural. It was not all perfect but it was natural, so the passes he tries to play are natural. That’s good, really good, nice.” – Jurgen Klopp

After conceding three goals at home to newly-promoted Leeds in Gameweek 1, there was a significant improvement from Liverpool’s defence on Sunday.

That was mostly connected with an incredible, almost man-of-the-match-worthy, performance from Fabinho (£5.5m) at centre-back. The Brazilian dropped into the back-four in the place of Joe Gomez (£5.5m), who had been less than impressive against Leeds.

The Englishman was also absent through injury, as was Joel Matip (£5.5m), but even when Gomez returns, Fabinho appears to have already made a strong case to jump ahead of him in the pecking order. The arrival of Thiago also takes the pressure off Liverpool’s number three having to take part in midfield duties.

Such a drastic improvement upon moving Fabinho into defence will certainly give hope those on the Liverpool defensive double-up, especially with Villa, Everton, Sheffield United and West Ham four of the Reds’ next five opponents.

“Fabinho, yes! If Sadio wouldn’t have scored two goals, I think Fab would be a proper contender for Man of the Match. I loved his performance, he played outstanding. He helped us a lot with the ball and in defending as well, so yes, a proper performance.” – Jurgen Klopp

“Joe actually should be fine. It was not now really a big one but we have to see. We should be fine Monday already. With Joel, it could be slightly different. It’s not the worst thing in the world but a few weeks, a couple of weeks. Probably after the international break he will be ready again. So we have to see. It’s not cool. It’s crazy, in one day ‘bam bam’ but we have Fabinho and he played an exceptional game, so that was really, really nice.” – Jurgen Klopp

“I just told (Fabinho) as well I think he was Man of the Match. To keep out a striker like [Timo] Werner and don’t let him score, overall he was outstanding. Everyone knows how good he is but it shows also that we need everyone. We are a bit unlucky with the injuries now but we’ll need everyone back because it’s such a long season.” – Virgil van Dijk

However, there were a few moments on Sunday where Chelsea went close to scoring, all of which bodes well for their attacking assets in Gameweek 3 when they travel to West Bromwich Albion.

Timo Werner (£9.5m) did manage to get the better of Fabinho on one occasion in the first half. His first touch bounced off the Brazilian allowing the Chelsea forward to burst forward into space down the left-hand side of the box, firing an effort just wide of Alisson’s (£6.0m) goal.

His fizzing pace also earned a penalty in the 75th, as he drew a foul from Thiago. While Jorginho‘s (£5.0m) poor effort from the spot was saved by Alisson, Fantasy managers should consider the impact Werner has had in this department for Chelsea.

The German international has now won a penalty in each of his Premier League outings now, an ominous statistic as Chelsea prepare to face West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 3. The Baggies have conceded the joint-highest number of shots over the first two matches and already given up two penalties in that time as well.

As a result, Werner looks a key captain candidate for Gameweek 3 both for his general goal threat anyway, as well as his tendency to win penalties. And you never know, Jorginho’s Gameweek 2 miss, and generally poor performance against Liverpool, might be enough to allow Werner to finally take one of his own after a decent record from 12 yards in Germany…

Meanwhile, there was another blank for Kai Havertz (£8.5m) who was unable to get on the ball enough. In light of Christensen’s sending off, he was replaced for tactical reasons by Tomori at the break and during the first 45 minutes he managed not one effort on goal or key pass.

Is that sufficient evidence to sell the midfielder? Perhaps… especially with James Rodríguez (£7.5m) impressing in his first two outings for Everton. But did Havertz show enough against Liverpool for the more patient of his owners to offer one last-chance-hurrah against West Brom’s porous defence? Possibly.

Some Fantasy managers might consider holding him on the strength of his next fixture alone, but there have been some promising off-the-ball runs from Havertz in his first two games. We highlighted some of these against Brighton and a false-nine role on Sunday produce a few more in the opening half of the Liverpool defeat.

The reason that Havertz was unable to make the most of his positioning, for the second match in a row, was a lack of creativity from those around him. Chelsea are crying out for Hakim Ziyech (£7.9m) to return from injury, so anyone currently invested in a Chelsea attacker should pay attention to the midweek EFL Cup meeting with Barnsley and Frank Lampard’s next two press conferences to see if he has a chance of featuring against West Brom. If he does, we could see big hauls for the likes of Werner, Havertz, Mason Mount (£7.0m) or Christian Pulisic (£8.4m), if he can regain some fitness.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Alonso, Zouma, Christensen, R James; Kovačić (Abraham 79′), Jorginho (Barkley 79′), Kanté; Werner, Havertz (Tomori 46′), Mount.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, J Henderson (Thiago 46′), Keïta (Milner 64′); Mané, Firmino (Minamino 86′), Salah.

    Bale priced at 9.5 on reputation alone.

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son is a much better player than Bale in his current state.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's the price I'd anticipated, but I also said I'd take my time to get him - if I ever do. He has to get fit, prove himself motivated and fit into Mou's system - or Mou has to fit his system to Bale. It won't be straightforward. Who's really going to ditch Salah, Kev, Raz or Bruno to get him in?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Same here. Would be a huge gamble to ditch him for the players you’ve named.

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I will enjoy watching the wheels come off the Bale bandwagon when it starts 'a'rolling. He's not match fit and it will take time for him to settle in to that team ( and that's providing he doesn't pick up an injury along the way)

  3. ElChapo

    Mccarthy
    James, TAA, Davies, Mitchell
    ASM, Pereira, Auba, Salah
    Werner, Kane

    Nyland, Davis, Soucek, Justin

    0.5 ITB, 2 FT, 150 points after 2 GW's.

    Best way to get city/everton coverage? Auba/ASM/Davies out, KDB/Foden/Lamptey in, then Werner > Jimenez/Richarlison/DCL next week?

    Thoughts?

    1. JollyGoodYellows
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Auba + ASM > KDB + Podence? I think Davies is OK for another week.

      1. ElChapo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        hmmm good shout, will keep an eye out to see if it looks like Reguillon is taking his place.

  4. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any fires that need putting out here for a -4?

    Mccarthy (Button)
    TAA Davies Mitchell (Justin Holding)
    Salah KDB JRod Soucek (Bissouma)
    Mitro Werner Ings

  5. Deece
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Had a decent start but plenty of fires to put out so pulled the trigger on WC... how’s she looking:

    Martínez
    VVD Justin Taylor
    KDB Salah Son Podence
    Jesus DCL Jiminez

    4.0 Mitchell Ferguson Anguissa

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

      Not sure about that bench

      1. Deece
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah the bench is super light but I’ve always played that way and I’m comfortable with it

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

          Then it's OK

  6. jam sandwich
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    WC to remove -8?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Dier - Saiss
    Salah - KdB (v) - Rodriguez - Podence
    Werner (c) - DCL - Wood

    Steer - Justin - Bissouma* - Ferguson*

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

      If you leave it at that then a -8 is OK

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nah stick with the -8

  7. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which one to captain

    A kdb
    B Salah
    C Werner
    D Son

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

      A

  8. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you prefer Zaha in a 3-5-2 or Wood in a 3-4-3?

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

      Wood - Zaha performances will probably settle down once transfer window closes

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wood - think he's a decent pick

  9. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Zaha a trap?

    Great fixtures and oop.

    Need an ASM replacement

    A) Foden
    B) Zaha
    C) Podence

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

      A or C

  10. Whiskerz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Tempted by something like this on WC

    Martinez . 4.0
    Castagne . Saiss . Lamptey . Mitchell . Fergusson (or other 4.0)
    Salah . KDB . Jamez . Podence . Foden
    Jimenez . DCL . Werner

    Thoughts?

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I've taken Werner out for now. I think Ings would be a better/cheaper option. I like the midfield you got there tho, shows what you can do if you down grade TAA

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Got a similar set up on wc but you’re going to need to bench 1 of your expensive forward every week so I’ve just gone 2 up top

      1. Whiskerz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ah yes, hadn't thought of that. Back to the drawing board.

  11. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    WC played! How's it looking ...

    McCarthey / Nyland
    TAA, Holding, Mitchell / Justin, Dunne
    KDB, Salah, Son, Podence / Anguissa
    DCL, Ings, Jiminez

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years

      this defence will need transfers soon

    2. Kalsou
      • 10 Years

      Too much in attack, defence awful

  12. mitre

  13. Kodap

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you rather Son or Werner on a WC?

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son. Im not convinced by Werner (yet).

    2. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      werner

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm leaning towards Werner. Have more faith in Chelsea attack and I don't see Spurs & Son getting so many goals against teams who sit back and don't play a high defensive line. EL hangover should also come into play soon.

    4. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner.

  14. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So we have just experienced a week that 14-point Bamford couldn't get into the dream team.

  15. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this Wc team?

    Martinez Steer
    TAA Saiss Justin Lamptey Taylor
    Salah KDB Son Podence Anguissa
    Jimenez DCL Brewster

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      *Sterling instead of Son

    2. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very similar to mine although I have Ings instead of Brewster.

  16. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Loads of people with Brewster in their WC drafts - and indeed, my favoured draft is one with Brewster and a 3-5-2...

    But, I'm interested to know, if Brewster hasn't moved to another Prem side by the time the deadline rolls around, what are you going to do?

    Are you going to just stick with the Brewster team and hope he moves before the window closes? Or will you choose another 4.5 striker so as not to take up a Pool spot? Or will you drop the 4.5 striker idea and go with a 3-4-3 or the like?

    1. Wardinator
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just keep him as bench fodder, I’ll never want 3 additional Liverpool players as there’s so many good options this season across so many teams. Salah & Trent is plenty

  17. Begbie.
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    "Werner shows promise"

    Did we watch the same game? 😀

    1. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He probably would have scored two pens if not for Jorginho. Has had a good amount of chances as well. Similar to Vardy's playing style.

  18. Chuism
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pick one WC team for GW3:

    (1) 3-4-3
    Martinez (Steer)
    TAA - Saiss - Lamptey (Mitchell - 4.5)
    Salah - Prodence - KDB - J.Rodríguez (Burke)
    Jimenez - Werner - DCL (4.5)

    OR

    (2) 4-4-2
    Martinez (Steer)
    TAA - Saiss - Lamptey - Castagne (Mitchell)
    Salah - KDB - J.Rodríguez - Son (Burke)
    Jimenez - DCL (4.5)
    0.4m in the bank

    OR

    (3) 3-5-2
    Martinez (Steer)
    TAA - Saiss - James - (Lamptey, Mitchell)
    Salah - Prodence - KDB - J.Rodríguez - Foden (Burke)
    Kane - DCL (4.5)
    0.3m in the bank

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      2

  19. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinez (Foster)
    Robbo - Digne - Saiss (Lamptey, Ferguson)
    KDB - Son - Foden - Podence (Reed)
    Werner - Jimenez - Jesus

    Hmm, no idea whether this is near my ideal WC team or not.

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

      Looks very nice but lacks Everton attack

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        True, but I'm not sure how much that matters.

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      front line is pretty good.
      no Salah is quite the sacrifice for it though

    3. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No Salah/Mane or EVE attack is not the one.

    4. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Vey good team. Thumbs up.

  20. Tinfoil Deathstar
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    FT already played. Current lay of the land:

    McCarthy
    TAA - Dier - Mitchell
    Son - KDB - Hamez - Havertz
    Adams - Werner - Martial

    Subs: Button, KWP, Justin, Bissouma.

    0.5 ITB.

    I think I’ll likely stick this week without any hits. Adams/Havertz/Martial all under threat but they have decent fixtures. West Brom hopefully the ideal fixture for Chelsea lads to settle. Brighton unlikely to park the bus vs United. Also underlying xG data for Adams suggests he HAS to score sometime soon...surely?! Maybe he is just cursed.

    Hard to ignore Wolves great run of fixtures so lining up Jiménez and maybe Podence in for next week.

    Defence needs work but enough to get me through the next couple of game weeks, I think.

    Thoughts?

  21. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years

    WC to remove -8??

    McCarthy
    TAA Digne Saiss Ayling
    KDB Havertz Podence
    Werner Jimenez DCL

    Tierney Bissouma Reed

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      and buy who?

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        To get McCarthy and other deadwood out. And double city mid perhaps.

        Can get Sterling for Havertz next week though.

  22. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with Pulisic? 1.9itb, Mitchell comes on if I dont take a hit to remove him.

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

      Hold if you still have your WC and play Mitchell

  23. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team please?

    Martinez, Steer
    TAA, Saiss, Justin, Lamptey, Mitchell
    Salah, KDB, Zaha, Podence, Alzate
    Werner, DCL, Jimenez

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice. I'd personally take Werner out for a cheaper striker so I could switch Zaha to Son but that's personal preference on my part.

      One word of warning though, I think a lack of Man U players could hurt going forward but seems like everyone is ditching them so maybe not too bad if they do well at the weekend.

    2. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Robbo for TAA my personal opinion but very good team.

  24. Begbie.
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ryan
    TAA Mitchell Taylor
    Salah Son Sterling Greenwood Hamez
    DCL Watkins

    4.0, KWP, Dallas, 4.5

    Anything worth a -4 here for next GW or weeks ahead? I know Watkins probably needs to go, asked on here before the deadline last GW between him and Mitro and it was unanimous Watkins 😀

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why not keep Watkins for ful and then decide?

      Don't like Mitro or Watkins. Like the Sterling pick a lot though.

    Has Vinagre become an option again? Any word on Marcal?

    Also, thoughts on Saka -> Foden or Podence please?

      Podence looked decent last night. So did Foden but the 1.0 extra ITB with Podence and no Pep rotation nightmares wins it for me.

    Few more changes, how's this WC looking?

    Martinez (Steer)
    Trent - Castagne - Saiss (Mitchell & Lamptey)
    KDB - Salah - Jrod - Podence - Klich
    Werner - Jimmy (Brewster)

    Mccarthy
    Taa - mitchell-vinagre
    bruno - salah - jrod - kdb - asm
    martial - mitrovic

    nyland - justin - davis - douglas

    already did auba to kdb .. is it worth taking a hit on asm to podence or let justin sub in if he doesnt play..

      Probably Justin to do ASM next week and pray that Man start firing soon.

      rule 1 never have a fulham defender in your team so you know which team is better. way better options than coleman too , id downgrade him to a burnley defender and take option 1 , also let the 4.5 be brewster

    Wildcard activated, not sure on which one to go for?

    Ryan Steele
    James Saiss Justin Mitchell Cooper
    KDB Salah Son Hamez Zaha
    Werner DCL Davis

    Or Jimi instead of Werner, Bamford instead of Davis and Dunne instead of Cooper.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks

    Would you prefer Jrod or DCL on a WC?

    Can't have both!

      DCL

      1. Munchen KFC

        Hamez personally but can understand people going DCL as it frees up a midfield spot

          Yeah this is it for me. If Everton continue to create this many chances, DCL could be in the top 3/4 FPL strikers almost by default. J-Rod will struggle to be in the top 4 FPL mids I reckon
