Struggles in loss Flekken made four saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-1 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Flekken faced eight shots and stopped four of them as Liverpool beat him with some impressive finishes. There was little he could do as his defense was repeatedly picked to pieces, giving up some top chances.

Impact Flekken didn't have much of a chance to prevent either goal scored by the opposition but the fact that he had more goals allowed than saves made for the second time over the last three games definitely hurt his fantasy output. With his last clean sheet dating back from Oct. 28, the goalkeeper doesn't profile as an ideal fantasy pickup right now and to make things even worse his next challenge is Jan. 31 visit to Tottenham.
