Too many Liverpool defenders, not enough Liverpool attackers.

Why Hazard, Vardy, Tadic? - Tadic, something to play for, so maybe.

Would not have any WH defender in a FH team this week.

KdB, Arnie, Jesus, Firmino, Mane are all better options.

It's only a first draft will be loads of changes.

I only have 1 Liverpool defender though and they don't have a DGW so don't see why I need more Liv attackers when Spurs, City, Chelsea and Arsenal all have DGW in 37.

Cresswell will be on the bench for 36 hence I listed him as a sub but he is eligible for DGW37 so not a terrible choice imo. I certainly won't be touching Firmino and Mane as makes no sense with them away to Chelsea in Dgw 37.

Edit: Sorry I meant I was Wild carding. Obviously your advice was spot on for a FH team.

Giroud could be a nice differential against Swansea but, I don't want him for the double.

No you wont. You will only have one FT the week after you WC.

Are you using your Free Hit or your Wildcard. Your original post says FH, but this one suggests WC.

You are correct, WC I'm using. Explains the confusion.

Where's all this Tadic love coming from? The lad's useless.

Useless is a bit harsh. He's at home to Bournemouth followed by a double. Chance he's on pens

He is kinda crap but I really need a few differentials with my rival 50 points ahead, he finished top 200 ITW in GW35. Declan Rice will never know the pain he caused me. It's very unlikely Tadic stays in my team though.

I'd swap Ramsey for Zaha and then bring Ramsey in for the DGW 37 mate. Zaha fixture better and Ramsey will prob be rested.

I realize this is the WC thread, but your post mentioned FH in it, that's what I was replying to.
If you said WC, then my advice would have been different.

Still wouldn't get Hazard in though.

Good point, I was just looking for teams with a bit of fight in them but have put Lingard in for the moment. Ramsey stays in, I have a playing bench so no issue if he is benched v Utd. Salah to a Man City mid is my probable GW 37 transfer.

Benched and not playing is not too bad. How about a 1 pt cameo?

sicknotexi

New draft:

Dubrovka
Long Davies Dummett
Son Sterling Salah Silva
Kane Welbeck Jesus

Ryan Chilwell Carroll Naughton

Will decide on (c) between Salah and Kane when more information.Thoughts?

There's an argument for me benching him away to Utd anyway, FFFix double up on the newcastle defence and bench Ramsey on their algorithm.

I feel you are underrating Hazard. Swansea(a) and 2 home fixtures for a nailed player that none of my rivals have is very tempting. Everyone's circumstances are different and I need a differential captain for 37, cant see many better than Hazard tbh.

Doubt he will play all three with the cup final on the horizon.

He'll definitely play them all. Cup final is a full week after the last game of the season. Chelsea are still chasing top 4, they beat Liverpool it could be back on. No worries about him being rested tbh.

manual_man

I've really wanted to get Ramsey, but the EL games have stopped me. Don't think he starts v Utd, and then I think he only starts one game of the double. Might not even start gw38 if Arsenal are through to the EL final and Wenger chooses to rest key players

On a wildcard building for DGW37. Is Giroud a mad choice?!

EDIT: Adding full squad, will be on BB for DGW37. This has 14/15 DGW plus Salah

De Gea MUN

Davies TOT
Kompany MCI
Jones MUN
Cédric SOU
van der Hoorn SWA

Sterling MCI
Salah LIV
Son TOT
Carroll SWA
Oriol Romeu SOU

Giroud CHE

Not mad but very risky. Chances are he only starts one in the dbl gw37 and 2 of the next 3 max, but he is capable of coming on and scoring as he showed against Southampton.

Not a fan of Romeu, try and get Kenedy if you can.

Ya changed Giroud to Perez now and it’s allowed me upgrade elsewhere:

De Gea MUN

Davies TOT
Kompany MCI

Naughton SWA

Sterling MCI
Salah LIV
Eriksen TOT
Carroll SWA
Milivojevic CRY

Perez NEW

Transfer for GW37 would be Milivojevic to Kenedy

Kenedy hasn't done much recently, where as Milivojevic has had several games where he's scored 9+ points, and could have done so in the last game too.

I'd be very slow to get rid of him personally, regardless of how many games either of them have that week.

Benimar

Milivojevic also has a game in GW38, Kenedy doesnt

There is. I will await news but If I hear nothing he is in. Good differential and has been playing consistently bar an injury. I feel that personal issue has been resolved( thankfully his baby seems to be doing much better). People are underestimating Pep's desire to reach 100 points this season, I don't expect to see many fringe players starting.

Thoughts on this Non Salah option:

Dubravka
Dummett Azpilicueta Cedric
Alli Sterling Son Silva Milivojevic
Kane Jesus

Fabianski J.Ayew Chilwell Naughton

Finally have time to run my team by you guys and gals !

BB 37

DDG Fabianski
Chilwell Davies Long Mariappa Dummet
Salah Zaha Sterling Arnie Iwobi
Kane Jesus Vardy

Ideally need to shift Long, Mariappa and not sure on Iwobi but he is a differential

If you did iwobi to Kennedy would you have enough for Mariappa to Van Der horn
I wouldn't be wildcarding in 36 to carry SGWers like long and Mariappa into BB37 tbh
Zaha fair enough
You could also then do fabianski to McCarthy to free up more
Or even Adrian but that's risky

kilburn

Have a decent team value so after the Mariappa & Iwobi switch i would have .6 left

Never considered Van Der Horn
