Ipswich Town Vs Liverpool FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Ipswich 0-2 Liverpool: Isak scores twice, comes off after 63 minutes with 13 points Isak scored both goals at Portman Road on September 4. He took all three bonus points and left the pitch after 63 minutes with 13 points banked. He costs £9.0m. Fewer than 2 in 10 managers own him. That is the line from this fixture.
Gakpo is the second line. Two assists, 90 minutes, 11 points at £7.1m. Fewer than 1 in 10 own him. Both Liverpool goals ran through these two players. Their prices sit below the top bracket for their positions.
The clean sheet held. Alisson made five saves, took a bonus point and finished with 8 points at £5.5m — fewer than 1 in 20 own him. Five saves in a 2-0 win means Ipswich created chances and he stopped them. Van Dijk (£6.5m, fewer than 2 in 10) and Araujo (£5.4m) played 90 minutes each for 6 points. Jacquet and Kerkez completed the back line, both booked, both on 5 points.
One warning from the Liverpool side. Barcola, £8.0m, came off after 26 minutes with 1 point. The evidence does not say why. His owners — about 1 in 10 of the 1 in 10 who hold him, in truth barely 1 in 100 managers — should watch the club's next statement before the deadline.
For Ipswich there is nothing to act on. Palacios put in a 77-minute shift for 4 points. No Ipswich attacker registered a return. McAteer, Flemming and Ouattara all left the pitch inside 25 minutes.
The decision. Isak has two goals in this match at £9.0m. Ownership sits at fewer than 2 in 10, so most managers do not have him and most rivals will not benefit when he scores again. He did not play 90 minutes here; that is the one mark against, and 63 minutes was enough for 13 points. Gakpo is the pick for managers who cannot fund the striker slot — two assists, a full 90, £1.9m less.
The call: buy Isak at £9.0m. If the funds are not there, Gakpo at £7.1m is the route in. Hold every Liverpool defender you own — the clean sheet paid five players this week.
