Liverpool need to find a new source of goals soon.
The Reds are about to lose Mohamed Salah to the African Cup of Nations for a number of weeks, and their other attackers now need to step up.
Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota will all get chances to shine during this period, but Darwin Nunez may well be the one player who is expected to really raise his game at this point.
The £70m striker has shown glimpses of brilliance over the past few months, but he’s scarcely found the back of the net, and now, without Salah in the team, he needs to start scoring more.
Speaking on the Fantasy 606 Podcast, Chris Sutton has been discussing Nunez and he says that the Uruguayan is about to become his captain in FPL, claiming that he’s due to score a barrel load of goals very soon.

Sutton shared his verdict on the Uruguayan.
“That’s the pick I think, Darwin Nunez, he’s due a barrel load isn’t he? In one of these games he will score five,” Sutton said.
Main man
This could be just what Nunez needs to find his goalscoring form at Liverpool.
For the first time since his arrival last summer, Nunez will now genuinely havae the chance to be the main man in Liverpool’s attack, and that may mean he thrives.
When he was at Benfica, he was at his best when he was the focal point of the team’s attack, but due to Salah’s presence at Anfield, he’s never been afforded that luxury.
As we all know, Nunez has the attributes needed to be a superstar, and now, he could be about to show the world just how brilliant he can be when he’s trusted to be the main source of goals in a team.
Don’t be shocked if Nunez goes on a bit of a run now.
