Antonio update, Liverpool’s defence and Klopp on Jota: key FPL notes from Anfield

Liverpool 2-1 West Ham United

  • Goals: Mohamed Salah (£12.4m), Diogo Jota (£6.3m) | Pablo Fornals (£6.4m)
  • Assists: Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.4m)
  • Bonus: Fornals x3, Jota x2, Salah x1

Liverpool laboured to a win over West Ham that raised yet more questions about a defence with just one league clean sheet to its name all season.

Key injuries have hugely reduced coach Jurgen Klopp’s options at the back, with the latest player coming in at centre-half, Nathaniel Phillips (£4.0m), handed his league debut.

Nat’s The Way To Do It

It’s fair to say the 23-year-old let nobody down, earning himself plenty of post-match praise from Klopp.

He kept it really simple tonight, which was incredibly important for us. The boys supported him well and he supported the boys; he was vocal and he spoke on the pitch. In the challenges he was there, really aggressive but no fouls really, maybe one. It was a really good game.

Whether he keeps his league place is another matter, however.

Klopp has been non-committal about Joel Matip‘s (£5.4m) return from the knock he picked up in Gameweek 5, but with the games coming thick and fast – Champions League in midweek and a trip to Manchester City on Sunday – Phillips looks likely to be in the frame for at least one of those fixtures.

But however tempting a bargain basement Reds defender might be, Phillips is still a long way off holding down a regular spot in the team.

The Defence Rests

Not that Liverpool defenders, at any price, have been overly attractive this campaign.

Only Andy Robertson (£7.1m) has come close to justifying the lofty price tag that comes with being a member of the Reds’ backline, and that’s been thanks to the goal and two assists he’s produced to boost the one and only clean sheet.

Those attacking returns have saved him from sales…until now. After five weeks of ownership increases, the left-back now finds himself in the top 15 for Gameweek 8 transfers out.

His fellow full-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m), knows all about that feeling – he’s lost managers every week since Gameweek 1’s 4-3 win over Leeds United.

Neither were at fault for Saturday’s goal, scored by Pablo Fornals (£6.4m). The midfielder reacted smartly after Joe Gomez‘s (£5.4m) weak clearing header came straight to him, guiding the ball past Alisson (£5.9m) and in off the post.

Alexander-Arnold’s previously nailed-on supply of attacking returns has dried up to just one assist from seven starts and the full-backs managed only one chance created between them – take a bow, Trent – and one shot each against West Ham.

All of that, and Man City and Leicester to come next, suggests more backline sales for the foreseeable future.

Jota Joy

The ownership levels of big hitters Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) and Sadio Mane (£12.0m) have remained rather more stable, although a net -8,171 missed out on an eight-point haul for the former when he earned, and then scored, a penalty to level the score on Saturday.

The spot-kick award was generous, with referee Kevin Friend probably right to deem the contact from Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) sufficient to be deemed a foul, if not enough to warrant Salah’s dramatic reaction to it.

Friend then went on to deny Mane owners an assist when substitute Diogo Jota (£6.3m) scored from what seemed to be a rebound caused by the Senegal international’s challenge on Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m).

VAR invited the referee to take another look at the incident and he rightly chalked off the goal for Mane’s sliding tackle on the goalkeeper as it had little to do with the ball.

Minutes later, Jota scored again – from fellow sub Xherdan Shaqiri‘s (£6.4m) canny pass, and that effort stood.

The signing from Wolves now has three goals from his last three matches in all competitions, and three from five in the league, prompting some love from Klopp.

Diogo is in a good moment. He is a good player and we are really happy that we could make that signing, so it is a proper win-win situation. I think we can help him and he can help us a lot.

Jota certainly helps add some flexibility to Liverpool’s system as he started (and scored) in a 4-2-3-1 formation in Gameweek 6.

Klopp, however, reverted to his tried-and-trusted 4-3-3 against the Hammers and while the demands of this season will require frequent squad rotation, it’s hard to see Jota consistently breaking up the German’s preferred front three of Salah, Mane and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) on anything but an occasional basis.

That’s not stopping managers buying into him – Jota is currently in the top 10 for Gameweek 8 purchases.

But there are nine midfielders around his price with more than the 26 points Jota currently has in Fantasy Premier League (FPL). All have played at least twice as many minutes, so while his output has been impressive – he’s scored three goals from 10 attempts – Jota will do well to sustain that kind of form unless his pitch-time improves.

Hammer Time?

It’s been a long time coming, but West Ham’s schedule is now finally easing, with their fixture list looking generally attractive all the way through to the end of January.

David Moyes’ men have acquitted themselves excellently through a brutal start to the season and their key attackers, such as Fornals and Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m), could well attract plenty of investment from now onwards.

The pair are in the top ten for attempts among midfielders, with 12 apiece, with Fornals the team-leader for chances created (six).

How the Hammers manage without striker Michail Antonio (£6.2m), who missed the match with a hamstring injury, could be key, although Moyes has been upbeat about the issue:

We’ve already got him on the bike and he’s moving, which for the type of injury we’re really pleased with. He had another scan and an ultrasound yesterday (Oct 29) as well. He’s in a good place.

All three midfielders should benefit from an improved schedule, with Fornals leading the way both in terms of points (39 to Bowen’s 33 and Soucek’s 18) and attempts on Saturday – only Salah could match him for the three shots he had.

Fornals looks the most rounded option, with two goals and three assists thus far, while Bowen has three goals to his name.

But despite facing Fulham next, neither are in the top 30 for transfers-in. 

In fact, only one Hammer is and it’s defender Aaron Cresswell (£5.0m), presumably because of the three assists he’s produced this season.


Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, N Phillips, Alexander-Arnold; C Jones (Shaqiri 70), Wijnaldum, J Henderson; Mané, Firmino (Jota 70), Salah (Milner 90).

West Ham United XI (3-4-2-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Balbuena; Masuaku (Lanzini 88), Soucek, Rice, Coufal; Fornals, Bowen (Benrahma 89); Haller (Yarmolenko 74).

    Had my two moves penciled in but without a backup keeper I may need to sort Ryan as a priority. Any thoughts on his benching and likelihood to make it back into the starting lineup?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds like rest, was the replacement any good?

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I only watched the 20 minutes highlights, seemed to do OK but no heroics that should displace their number 1. Will probably go through with my planned moves and see what next week brings for him.

    2. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I came here to figure this out also.. I have a feeling he is not going to play for a bit. Was no real reason for the manager to drop him. Now to figure out who to bring in, I can't bring in Mendy so will have to be someone else

  2. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone know when we will get the verdict on the length of the injury of Pulisic and Ings??

    Thanks.

          Expect both will be earlier as Chelsea play midweek and Ings injury looked serious.

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn’t get your hopes up

    How to sort this mess?

    Martínez (Forster)
    Alexander-Arnold*, Chilwell, Saïss**, Mitchell*,Lamptey
    Grealish, Salah, Podence*, Son Burke
    Kane, Jiménez*, Calvert-Lewin

    2 FTs, 0.6 in bank.

    Will probably wait til Friday as a big injury changes things a lot.

    Cheers

    1. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Trent to Zouma
      Podence to Ziyeh

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      TAA, Saiss, jimi to Coufal/cresswell, bellerin, werner?

      might be bias as I like the look of werner, but you could keep jimi and instead use the money to upgrade podence to someone like ziyech

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

      It actually doesn't look as bad as you may think it does, maybe sort Saiss first then next week maybe use 2 ft to drop Trent and upgrade elsewhere.

    4. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      IMO.. Trent will come good but if you wanted rid I could see why

      Saïss isn’t the biggest issue as you have 3 playing defenders so maybe Jimi and Podence out for someone of your choice ‘

    5. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all.

    6. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jimmy and Trent to Brewster and Chilwell
      Loadsa cash to sort Burke and Podence
      And play 3-5-2

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry...i meant Zouma

    7. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Jimi, Saiss > Bamford/ Wilson, Zouma ?

    8. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What’s wrong podence ?

      1. The White Pele
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        With*

  5. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What to do here? already did saiss to zouma

    McCarthy
    Zouma Chilly Trent Taylor
    Hamez Salah Son Grealish
    Jimmy DCL

    Ings* 0.5ITB

    A) Ings and Trent to Creswell and Kane for -8
    B) Ings to Martial for -4
    C) GTG

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not even being biased B is acc a good move if Ings is out but there would be no harm in saying C either

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers.. united will be desperate for a win and i expect martial to be involved... WBA after IB so might work out...

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes agree and we have decent fixtures coming up but we are all over the place atm!

          If you wanted Kane for the longish term A could be worth it tbh but not sure with City’s run in GW 10 might be hard to get one of them aswell as having Kane

          I just hope Ings is ok...

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would you captain Kane in GW8?

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        yes if i get him... should i do A 😀

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Gives you more reason to. At least you only have to dodge TAA if you do it.

          1. Chucky
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            cheers. gives me a solid cap option for GW 8 too. will make the decision of Friday after injury update on ings..

            1. Chucky
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              on*

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don’t trust Tony M at all unfortunately. But I also would try and avoid a -8 at all costs given the volatility and unpredictability of this season!

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        thanks. hopefully,ings makes a miraculous recovery to start GW 8...

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Hate to say it but it didn’t look great... genuinely upset for him

  6. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez to Mendy for free?

    Gives me Chilwell and Mendy dbl

    1. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes.set and forget

    2. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Martinez has great fixtures
      Chilwell is enough as u may want double Chelsea attack pretty soon

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

        This.. Too risky

    3. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Both helpful comments thanks

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

    Delighted with a 69 PTS this week to bring me up to 105k, kept faith with aubamayang and bellerin, anyone else noticed the chances bellerin seems to almost get for aubamayang ?

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      damn, nice rank with having aubameyang. I ditched gw3

      1. SoapAFC
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, I would say it was blind loyalty because I'm an arsenal fan, I really should be ditched but I'm loyal to the end and thankfully fixtures seem to turn a bit now

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          yeah fair play also an arsenal fan but couldn't keep auba especially when knowing how bad we are against the top 6

          1. SoapAFC
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Trust in arteta!

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rules out a Chelsea double up offensively...

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

        Reply fail

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Very good!

      I’m considerably lower but never would’ve kept Auba!

      However I’m now seriously considering Bellerin!

      1. SoapAFC
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bellerin hasn't been great defensively but in the wing back position in a back 3 he seems to get assists and is quite attacking

    4. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve had Bellerin for a few weeks now amd it finally paid off. I’m also biased because he’s my favorite person that plays football, but he generally makes a good fpl pick. Arsenal is conservative going forward but far more solid at the back, and he’s getting into dangerous positions. Was unlucky not to score against Leicester too.

  8. grooveymatt65
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So who do people think is a better captain option..

    Sterling home to a leaky pool defense or one of Son/Kane away to West Brom?

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

      Is this a joke?

      1. Champions League Varane

    Lost on last page

    GW not over but thinking to GW8. Unsure what to do here!

    2FT 1.1itb
    Martinez
    Robbo*, Chilwell, Dallas
    Salah, Son, Pulisic*, Grealish
    Kane, DCL, Bamford
    (Forster) (KWP, Stephens, Branthwaite)

    A) Puli, Robbo > Rashford/ Bruno, Zouma/ Coufal (2FT)
    B) Puli, Robbo > Ziyech, Coufal/ Bellerin (2FT)
    C) Puli > Ziyech (roll an FT)
    D) Puli move as above + Improve bench (Stephens or Branthwaite > ?)
    E) Something else

    Sorry I know a lot of options. Appreciate the advice!

      Has to be A or C for me.

      Maybe wait and see how we do vs Everton first? Hopefully Puli ok but if he isn’t C looks good I’m considering that myself

        Utd’s performance worried me - put me right off but maybe they can bring it back somehow

      Pulisic out. Get Chilwell in for Saiss if possible

        would you get Zouma over Chilwell if money is an issue or better to find a way to Chilwell long term?

      Sort Saiss/Pulisic.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. I could do a straight saiss and pulisic to chilwell and ziyech....

    What do you guys think on Ryan? Is he lost starting spot?
    I have 1 FT, 1.3 ITB Any advise?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yep same issue here 🙂 maybe it s a good opportunity to get rid to be honest. only reason i have him is i thought steele would play if he is injured so wouldnt have to worry about switching keepers. how wrong was I ...

    Very tempted to do Jimmy to Wilson to free up much needed funds just wondering if Newcastle fixtures are generous enough.

    Would help to do Saiss to Chilwell (or Zouma) but Chelsea fixtures also turning

    Any thoughts

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson’s fixtures GW 10 and beyond are very good but prefer Jimmy’s next 2

      Are you .1 off Saïss ➡️ Zouma?

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Makes sense. No actually have 0.4itb so can make the straight swap. You don’t think this is just early season form for Zouma and will regress?
        Also can’t have 5m player like Saiss benched

  15. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Good ebening fellas. What to do with those ? Have no idea. 2 FT and 0.5 iTB.

    McCarthy
    TAA-Ayling-Justin
    Son(C)-Salah-Barnes-Grealish
    Kane-Mitrovic-Jimenez

    Steer-Bavies-Bissouma-Mitchell

    Thinking to do Trent and Barnes to Zouma and Zaha but not feeling right. Too kneejerky?

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers.

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Surely to god Mitrovic has got to go bro

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thinking to do Mitro to Richarlison for free after IB

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      TAA
      Bavies
      Mitro
      Barnes

      All need to go. Also want to save one transfer and have 2 after IB but its hard tbf.

  16. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Zouma or Cresswell long term folks?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zouma deffo

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      long term i think zouma

    3. Niho992

    4. FPL_Crisis

      Same dilemma, surprised by 2-0 Zouma actually

  17. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any suggestions here in dire need of some lol
    Saïss,Pulisic,Maupay all big issues willing to take a -8 if necessary
    1FT 1.2 ITB

    Martinez
    Lamptey Chillwell Saiss
    Son Pulisic Grealish Salah
    Kane Maupay Ings

    :Forster,Targett,Mitchell,Burke.

    1. LSK
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wait until Friday. If Ings is passed fit and you’ve picked up no further issues I’d switch Pulisic to Ziyech and maybe Saiss to a West Ham defender or take a punt on Bellerin for a -4. Leave Maupay another week in case he starts against Burnley. He can always become DCL in time for Fulham if he seems to be dropped.

  18. wulfrunian

    Jammy points for Saiss/Lamptey owners but honestly he/you deserved that goal.Excellent performances and he is only 20.At least i hope 1-2 points for Justin as he is the main sub for Saiss.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      sold Lamptey for Ayling this week, what can you do

  19. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years

    thoughts on auba ? fixtures are turning. with so many big hitters under performing could he be a nice alternative ?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too expensive.

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

        This.. You would have to sell the likes of Kane / Salah to afford him

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          was thinking kdb then get him back in a couple of weeks

  20. FPL Alaska

    Who is the best Pulisic replacement? Have Salah, Son Grealish.

    A) Rashford
    B) Ziyech
    C) other

    Do u have plan to bring United assets from GW 9?

  23. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Think I am going to remove TAA + Jimenez here.
    Podence to survive another week and then him or Barkley (more likely) out.

    Chilwell + Bamford/ Wilson (leaving 4.8m ITB) looking good options but is it just points chasing.
    Any other guys I should consider?

    McCarthy.
    TAA, Robbo, Ayling.
    Salah, Barkley, Podence, Son.
    Kane, Jimenez, DCL.
    Button, Justin, Mitchell, Bissouma.
    2ft, 0.7m ITB

  24. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Sanchez is 4.5, do they think he will be nailed for brighton ??

  25. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez (Forster)
    TAA Cresswell Robertson (Kilman Mitchell)
    Salah Son Rodriguez Zaha (Podence)
    Kane Bamford Mitrović
    0ft 0.3itb

    I have Mitrović starting against WBA tomorrow but after that he is bench fodder.

    I can just afford these tranfers now:
    Mitrović Rodriguez >> Wilson Grealish (-8)

    Slightly stupid or very stupid?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      very very stupid imo.

    Anyone know how reliable FPLStatistics has been on price falls? Wondering if Taylor is actually going to drop tonight

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd like to know this too.
      Is there a reliable site for price changes?

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/

        Is what I've used for last couple seasons, I can never figure when they actually jump.

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have been checking both FPLStatistics and Fix lately. My impression is FPLStatistics has been over-aggressive on price drops (e.g. has been predicting an Egan drop for about a week now, which has not happened), while Fix has been over-aggressive on rises.

    Guys i need advice as my squad is crumbling

    McCarthy - Forster
    Robbo - Saiss - Lamptey - Justin - Mitchell
    Salah - Son - Zaha - Grealish - Stephens
    Kane - Ings - DCL

    2FT & 0.2ITB

    - Saiss dropped
    - Lamptey injury
    - Mitchell injury & dropped
    - Ings injury

    Not sure what to do.
    Any advice would be appreciated

    1. LSK
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wait until Friday for Ings and Lamptey news. Don’t waste your advantage of having 2fts by going early imo. Lots can happen during the week that’ll create completely different dilemmas/opportunities for you.

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This a good point on Ings, maybe take a hit and pu adams? or Jimi?
        Or that and just change Saiis in the back.

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      well the saiss cookie crumbled for those of us with the pts leading def.
      don't take a hit and make 2 changes:
      Mitchell> Kilman or LP's Phillips
      Saiss> Zouma

      Then your squad is fixture friendly and your front 7 are set it and forget it anyhow.
      That's a good team relax. Cheers
