That’s not necessarily true, Klopp likes Lovren and he’s been very good for Liverpool

Anyone else deciding on a Kane replacement? Who are we going for? Thinking Arnie myself.

Firmino in done. Didn't see him being tipped anywhere (probably for good reason ) but going with my gut

VW 1

Hojberg and shaw -> romeu and mendy.

Needed to free up funds, never use hojberg as is, and mendy will pick up more points than shaw, hopefully.

Cartman78

After 3 solid days of solid mulling and pontificating I'm close to the following for a -4...

Kane --> Firmino
Ings --> Arnie
Bednarek --> Chilwell

extra gravy

Two clean sheets for Leicester so far this season...don't see the attraction with their defenders. Just don't trust them.

I have 2 fts, done Kane to Firmino and was v close to Ings to Arnie, but do you not think it's best to hold off for another week considering Ings has Newcastle?

Trippier to Gomez

Wouldn't fancy Gomez myself, although I have TAA. What about Chilwell or Holebas?

Any love for Laporte?

Can’t do Tripper & Hojbjerg to Mendy & any playing player (4.3)

But if I do trippier & Hojbjerg to Mendy I’ll have 4.8 left, might get Josh Murphy from Cardiff. He won’t play much unless others are dropped or rested unexpectedly

S.M.B.

I'd love to get Chilwell into my team but there's busy no room for him at the moment. Could prove to be a very savvy move over the coming weeks.

Wouldn't spend over 4.5m on a non playing 5th mid. What about Camarassa for Cardiff? On some set pieces.

I've still got Ward fwiw :P

sanket

Given that aguero has only played 65 mins each of his last 5 games. Im thinking
Aguero - Firmino
TAA - Robertson..(-4)
Worth it??

Good point... the fifth mod isn’t really that important to me. Think I’ll get

Laporte and Camarassa In
Trippier and Hojbjerg out

Unless anyone sees any reason not too?

I think you will regret going for Laporte instead of Mendy in all honesty
Just do the midfield one and wait till next week on the other .........I don’t think laporte will outscore trippier this weekend

I don't understand this fascination with Agueros game time, he is still picking up the points which is what the game is about. With the amount of goals City are scoring, you need their players in your team, the beauty of Aguero is he is consistently starting, unlike their midfielders who are always rotating. I'd be more inclined to drop Aguero if he was being dropped for games, instead he is guaranteed the lions share of game time without being flogged, I see that as a win win.

Aguero is the highest scoring forward in the game, amassing 58 points with 641 minutes game time, Firmino has 35 points in 675 minutes. Firmino will likely outscore Aguero this GW but long term Aguero is the better option. I expect Aguero to still be highest scoring forward at the end of the season.

tailgunner

It's a bit frustrating when you think about the damage he could do to the weaker teams in the last 20 minutes of a game, but I'll still take an hour of Aguero over 90 minutes of nearly every other striker at the moment.

Iused2likebusts

I think ill have to fix my one wildcard mistake and get in robertson this week. Ill probably get him in for balbuena and keep Taa aswell. Im thinking the liverpool back 4 will be Taa lovren vvd robertson this weekend.

Definitely, it's frustrating he's not on the pitch to run at defenders when they have tired legs, but at the same time, hopefully that means he's less likely to get an injury and plays the full season uninterrupted

Firmino is not playing as a striker anymore so don't think he's a good fpl option this season.

Thats not correct. He played as a '10' last night but the vast majority of his game time has been in his usual position.

He also scored last night.

His usual position is false 9. I don't wanna get too technical here but a lot of the time he ends up playing deeper than Salah. He'll still get a lot of chances but don't be fooled into thinking he's playing as an out and out striker like Aguero for example.

His position hasn't changed from last season, when he was a good FPL option (15 goals, 8 assists).

He's not Aguero (no one is) but he isn't playing any deeper this season and he will get you points. In the 8-10m bracket hes as good an option as any given upcoming fixtures (over the season Lacazette will score more I'd imagine).

Personally, I won't get him as I have Salah, but for a 'cheaper' way into the Liverpool attack, hes a good option imo.

Looking for Liverpool defensive coverage but also want to bring Salah in so having to look at the cheaper options. From what I've heard/read Gomez might be the best bet of Lovren/TAA/Gomez to start most games.

While Laporte is scoring decent his attacking returns are basically nil.

Hojbjerg is 4.4 so I can’t replace him with anyone worth while at that price as I’ve nothin itb.

Maybe downgrade Silva to a cheaper mid and get Mendy for Trippier?

carnie

What's the group think on TAA?

I noticed a few of you are sticking to your guns and holding onto him. He did play last night but he also has sat out the last two GWs, which is a concern.

I may hold onto for this week and have Bennett as the 1st sub but I'm interested to see what you're doing with him.

I reckon there's a good chance he starts this weekend. After that i'd probably look at ditching him

He needs to be sold in the next while as he is now going to be rotated regularly but maybe not this week . I think he has a good chance of starting this saturday due to the attacking threat he offers id then expect klopp to go with gomez at rb for the arsenal game .

Yes and upgrade Ricky to kdb next week perhaps ........

Well on current prices I can do (over the next few days)

Tripper - Mendy
Dilva - 5.4 (Kennedy or Neves stand out)
And have enough itb for
Richarlison- KDB provided neither rises or falls
My squad for GW11 would look like this then

Leno Hamer
Mendy Robertson zaba Bennet AWB
Salah Hazard KDB Hojbjerg 5.4
Kun Ings Mitro

Yeah I'd agree more or less with the above. I posted a few days ago saying I'd keep him.

The thing is at 5.0 (if you bought him at that), if you have a good bench it's not a huge disaster if he plays the easy games and is benched for the tougher ones which is kind of how I see the state of play at the moment. It's not like you've invested too much in him.

I expect him to play against Cardiff and probably sit out against Arsenal.

If the rotation becomes too much I'll drop him, but it's a steep climb up to Robbo for me at this stage. I still think Klopp views him as the number 1 right-back for most games.

I'd wait a little longer, but if you're bench is a shambles then maybe that's a different story as you might not be able to afford a rotation risk like that

ElTel

We've got a 2pm deadline this week so TAA owners can hope for line-up hints.

I'm considering a House-keeping transfer like a few others and looking at a 4.3M mid because I.ve got Duffy/Kabasele/AWB for the third defensive spot (alongside Robbo and Alonso).

I guess what I'm saying is be careful about the extra spend on the bench players.

Necronomicon

I haven't made a transfer since my WC in GW7. Last week I had 2FT and I couldn't see one to be made, so I let it go. I'm facing the prospect of doing the same this week, seems wrong! Can anyone see potential transfers here?

Patricio (Hamer)
TAA Laporte Trippier (Bennett) (AWB)
Sterling Hazard Mane Richarlison
Mitrovic Aguero Arnie

0ITB.

The one I've been most contemplating is TAA and Laporte out for Mendy + 4.4 (Dunk?). But if TAA starts I'm swapping Liverpool/City for City/Brighton defensive coverage, so I'm not sure.

I think that would be a very good double transfer tbh
I myself am probably gonna bank again . It’s the second time this season . Haven’t taken a hit either . Never known a season like it. Maybe it’s because apart from hazard none of the premiums have exploded since start of season . And when he did I still didn’t get him LOL

I do however have a -4 maybe even a -8 lined up for next weekend !

Could do trippier to vvd? Though might create a problem if you think you might be bringing salad in soon.

Wait who is your fifth mid ? Cos I’d also do tripper to Robertson at some stage but you may need cash

Pete_Cavan

Do we think Kayal will retain his place in the Brighton midfield after Groß returns? Kayal has picked up quite a few points in a short space of time, is great value at 4.4 and Brighton have good form and fixtures.

Obiang, so a 4.4. I was just playing around and tried:

TAA, Laporte, Trippier out;

Robertson, Mendy, 4.2 in.

But there aren't really any 4.2 options so that one is a bust I think.

TitianGerm

I'm a bit stuck on transfers this week. Currently on two frees and 0.5 in the bank.

Current team is Hennessy, Hamer, Alonso, Robertson, Holebas, Mendy and AWB. Midfield of Hazard, Maddison, Fraser, Lucas and Mane. Forwards are Deeney, Aguero and Ings.

Need to change Hennessy as his next three fixtures are dire. Happy enough with the back four this week. Good chance of Alonso, Robertson and Holebas keeping a clean sheet and Mendy with an assist (shut out Spurs?)

Probably be starting Maddison, Fraser and Mane and make a call on Hazard later.

Deeney and Ings are have decent fixtures so might hold on to both for this weekend and move Ings on next week.

KevIRL

Looking like a 4th bank of the season at the mo. WTF is going on?

May change with any team news, but currently on banking

shmeee

Wan-Biss -> Duffy

0.1£ Profit made on Wan and 4 horrible fixtures coming up.

Duffy may go up the 0.1£ so that would be nice.

Will be filling spot on bench all the same.

Porthallian

Hennessy
Alonso Bennett Duffy Peireira
Sterling Fraser Maddison Hazard
Aguero PEA

Hamer Wan-B Guendozi Kamara

2.7m to spend.

Feel like I need Salah.
Do I get rid of Sterling or Hazard though?

Would be for a hit.

The real mccoy 91

Patricios fixtures take a nasty turn very soon front 7 doesn't need touching anyway

Benimar

Current team is:

Begovic, Bettinelli
Mendy, Alonso, TAA, AWB, Bennett
Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Richarlison, Ward
Aguero, Mitrovic, Ings

2Ft and 0.8 ITB.

Thinking of a very boring downgrade of Bettinelli to raise another 0.4 and then look at Begovic, Ward or Ings next week.

Iused2likebusts

Is there not a doubt that holebas will not get his place back after them winning 2 0 last week when he was suspended.

Have robertson and alonso. I also have enough money to do the long overdue transfer of Steve cook out to mendy but I am now thinking of moving more money into midfield........

eh i dunno

Have no idea what to do with my team this week
Begovic hamer
Alonso Pereira Jonny AWB yedlin
Hazard mane richarlison schurrle Fraser
Aguero vardy arnautovic

Looking to get Mendy in for Jonny but means downgrading somewhere else. Considering my free hit this week

kilburn

A downgrade to Chilwell from Trippier to free up funds is appealing

Dubh Geannain

At the moment for a -4
Kane --> Laca
Moura --> Salah
Fraser --> Murphy

0.2 m left over

Haven't pulled the trigger yet. I've the day to ponder it and will wait to see if there's any update on Hazard before then.
