Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Liverpool

After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.

All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.

Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.

Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.

Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.

For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.

And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    After bonus and autosubs, find myself at 58 pts. I'll take it after starting the day on 23

    On a WC. Before this match, I was looking at:

    DDG / Elliot
    Azpi / Otamendi / Daniels / Ward / Duffy
    Eriksen / Salah / Sterling / Richarlison / Surman
    Aguero / Morata / Abraham

    Given that I've realised I should never doubt Kane, how's this instead?

    DDG / Elliot
    Otamendi / Daniels / Ward / Duffy / Hunemeier
    Salah / Sterling / Richarlison / Gross / Carroll
    Kane / Aguero / Morata

    I'm actually 0.1 short of the second option, but hoping Daniels falls some time this week. (Could also fund it via Ward > Mee or Duffy > Dunk).

    I have heard/read that Hunemeier is usually the 1st choice backup to Dunk/Duffy. Can any Seagulls confirm? (Jonty where you at? ;))

    That Kane haul is a real sickener.

        lol what is that lol

    2. PL Ball

      it sounds Knee-jerky.. but Eriksen owners:
      Keeping or selling?

      1. thunder_mike
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        I think I am selling, at least in the short term.

      2. Norman Conquest
        • 11 Years

        might swap for salah then swap back the week after lol

        1. PL Ball
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Yup. Salah is really tempting! But then Palace for Spurs the week after United. Damn..

      3. Victor6359
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Keeping. Why are you thinking on getting rid, cause he got 2 points or did he go off injured? Season keeper unless injured

        1. PL Ball
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Well i did say it sounds Knee jerky. I dunno.. he's done decently so far this season but not quite as involved.. Another annoying aspect is Trippier is taking his fair share of Free kicks/corners.

      4. GREEN IS GOOD

          Is that true Shelvey took some set pieces?

          Thanks, will not sell for a hit then 🙂

      So, Davies + Jesus to Kiko + aguero using my 2FT will make my team looks like this.
      Ryan
      Azpi Otamendi Ward Kiko
      Salah Silva Richarlison
      Kane Aguero(C) Vardy

      Elliot Jones RLC Carroll

      Do it or not do it?

    6. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Who to bring in for Bavies ? I have Ward, Jones, Otamendi and Azpi.

      A) Southampton defender
      B) Kiko Femenia
      C) someone else

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Wimmer?

        1. Railwayman
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          No way a Stoke defender is getting in my team.

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Southampton defs are good for only two more gameweeks, a Burnley def would be best. We really are short on cheaper defenders atm. Maybe play the fixtures with Femenia but I would worry about his nailedness with Jaanmat lurking if he were to have a bad game. Maybe consider a Brighton or Newcastle def, both teams yet to get hammered despite having tough tests which tells me they have a good def

    7. Sánchez
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I feel like one of the keys to this season could be how the chips, particularly free hit, get used.

      I think bench boost gets wasted sometimes on a dgw. Free hit could be used a few ways too. Either dgw or when fa cup quarters weekend occurs and half the teams don't play.

      I think I'll prioritise free hit and triple captain for dgws. Too often bench boost on a dgw ends up a waste imo. Anyone got any particular plans in mind?

      1. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        I agree with the last part. Using BB for a double GW never ends up good.

      2. thunder_mike
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        My plan was to use it on SGW with only a few matches and load up with players I wouldn't normally get.

        Can we use it in GW38? That might be fun, if not worthwhile.

      3. Rash
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        I won't be using it anytime soon as I need an actual bench to use it and TC RLC mbemba don't scream points

      4. XabiAlonso
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Bench boost got me 23 and 26 in the two years on a dgw so I'm sticking to that plan.

      5. Ghost Gooner
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Blank gw or when my team has terrible fixtures

    8. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      What a disappointing game as a Liverpool fan. Kane single handedly destroyed the defence.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Lovren was running scared

      2. HALFSPACE
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Top 4 secure imo

      3. Rainer
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Hopefully be the end of Lovren, 2 months till VVD!

        How, in such a rubbish GW?

        Mental score

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years

          His defenders smashed it and kane captain with kun no Jesus

        2. Costa in Wengerland
          • 12 Years

          Yeah lucky i guess
          Otamandi, monreal and azpi in defence

            kun here but as a kane owner id have preferred say a 6 pointer

    12. arndff_

      To keep or not to keep Eriksen?

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Keeping.. have much more pressing issues

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Maybe you're right.

          1. Top 210 Club
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Gone for Salah

      2. THAT'S LIFE
        • 11 Years

        chucked for sterling

      3. Pompel
        • 10 Years

        Sell - I'd love to get him in at 9.6 😉

      4. marquinhos
        • 9 Years

        keep, one game doesn't define him

      5. GREEN IS GOOD

        What is this madness

    13. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      If Jones is out , Chelsea leaking like a used diaper, and Bavies no-go - is there any premium defender £5.5+ who's worth the dough at this point? Thinking I might as well go OTamendi + 4x4.5'ish

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        My defence is Otamendi Monreal Jones* Naughton Long.

        Pretty happy with Otamendi and Monreal so far. Got Jones after previous week and he got injured... Bad luck there.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Kudos for keeping faith in Monreal. I sold him GW3 - might get him in even if immediate fixtures are meh - guess he's as nailed as they come.

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Got him from the beginning, mate...

      2. Victor6359

        Montreal

      3. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Maybe Yoshida or VVD.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          too short term imho

      4. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Azpi and any city defender imo

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Chelsea defenders not worth the price if they keep on conceding. And I will have Otamendi on WC

    14. Stevie B

      Kaku to Kun for free? Or Ben Davies to someone else? Thank you

      What is actually up with Bavies? When he plays he hauls, and he contributes massively. I just don't get it why he isn't nailed?

      1. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        I don's see him hauling anymore. And now Rose is in the mix...

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 9 Years

            • 7 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            If you have Otamendi long term then probably. There'll probably be another reason to use your FT next week anyway
