Didn't put it in there because I'm not really looking for player opinions. It's more a tactic discussion I think.

I have - Elliot, Carroll, Mee, Long is my current fodder

That's my bench too

Ha. I won't ask you your front 3 just in case.

Wonder will FPL add Jason Lokilo at Palace and hopefully list him as a midfielder.

Has started last 2 pre season games.

Is Jones now available to play the super cup game

And mine as well!
Front 3 of Kane, Lukaku and Firmino. Ramsey injury has thrown a Spaniard in the works.

Foshu-Mensah reportedly having a medical at Palace today ahead of a season long loan. Could be worth having a look at

Oh my oh my
I've been looking for a 4.5 palace defender to rotate with mee
This would be excellent news . He is a very very good player
Problem is I'd need him to start next weekend


Other side of it is that Aurier is now being strongly linked with a live to united . Competition /rotation for Valencia

Thinking about it more De Boer would be well aware of fosu mensah from his time in holland and he needs someone to come straight in as one of the 3 CB or right wing back
If this moves goes through today it tomorrow I'm going for it
Worst case scenario Is I have to play Mee away to Chelsea .........

Fabregas, Pedro if he's not suspended or Cazorla at a stretch.

Club has denied it & Aurier won't get a Visa for the UK.Although Utd are being linked with Barca's Sergi Roberto who can play in a similar position

I dropped Lukaku, for the first time, in my most recent draft.

Wasn't thinking Firmino before but if he's on pens that's a game changer

Yeah, in the past I always had Mane ahead of Firmino/Coutinho.

Firmino + Penalties is better than Mane though.

Dr. Bre

Is Chilwell likely to start for Leicester at 4.5 could be bargain

Funk It

Be careful folks, have Firmino in my team (as it stands) but I reckon Milner is still going to still be on pens. Just look at his comments in the Liverpool Echo.

Still though with doubts over likes of defoe in the same price bracket and liverpool's first two fixtures I think firmino is worth the risk?

I think that if Milner is on the pitch, he'll take them. But Klopps latest comment that Milner is now 'free to play in midfield' makes me think Milner will no longer be first choice. He'd have to get the nod over two of Wijnaldum/Henderson/Can. I don't see that happening. I could see Milner playing in Champions league games though due to his experience.

I'm all for Firmino staying in my team don't get me wrong. Just not expecting or banking on him being on pens.

Yeah I think Milner has turned into an older version of John O'Shea / Phil Neville during thier time at Man united.
The fact that Klopp brought Robertson, and is even taking up Moreno strengthens your point.

Starting today to look at my team...can anyone point me to a link where people discussed the change in chips?....see some people talking about BB in week 1....is that not an unusual tactic?

Really appreciate any replies.

BB gw1 would be mad.

The new 'free hit' chip is effectively a week where you can pick any players for that one week.
Then you team returns to it's previous selection.
Probably best used with lots of injuries or if all your squads fixtures take a turn for the worst.

Or if you have a blank and DGW in close proximity.

What's the consensus on Jay Rodriguez as a third striker?

At £6.0m and BOU, bur, STO, bha, WHU in the first five games, it is tempting to throw him in alongside the big hitters to free up funds elsewhere.

Concerns are West Brom's chance creation and where he will play, as Pulis could well play him out wide. I believe he has played a mixture of support striker and left wing in pre-season.

I was definitely thinking about him for a bit and if he was a MF I'd be interested but not as a striker given the exact concerns that you raised. Given WBA score about half their goals from set pieces and don't score too many to begin with I think I'll take a pass on him.

Not sure I would stomach that if I am honest.
They are Yanks away matches will be 'on the road' etc.

And about 15 minutes in lack of knowledge was already displayed - not knowing Chicharito's real name was Javier Hernandez.

Worse still another fella said he does not like 'new guys in the prem for the first time'

His examples were Lacazette and Salah

So all in all I think there are better podcasts.
Steer clear until they learn who the players are is my advice!

Thought up of a good name if anybody's looking for one:

Aké Insurance

Had this downloaded and was going to listen to it in work. Think I'll delete it so. You've saved me an hour and a half:)
