Thinking of downgrading Heaton to to 4.0 (Pope my other GK), frees up the funds to do Zaha/Rashford to Mane/Connolly for the DGW

I have Pope as my only active GK and will probably use my FT to switch him to Ryan or Foster this week. Tough fixtures coming up and Burnley have looked very poor lately. Have you any other options for getting Mane in?

Actually I've had a look at it turns out I don't need to much disruption to get Mane in! Didn't really want to sell Richy but coming round to the idea

Richarlison & Alli ----> Mane & Cantwell

leaves me a front 8 of

Mane -- Salah -- KDB -- Cantwell -- Grealish

---- Vardy -- Rashford -- Connolly

I also have TAA so in good shape for 24 and beyond. Do not have to pull the trigger until next week either so no hit involved

I've done Pope to Foster

The problem for Liverpools DGW is the second game of the DGW is a Wed night, and they play the next GW on the Saturday, so you've still got 3 days between games.

Liverpool are gonna be like that most of the season, with CL and PL games, Everton should have done them a favour and knocked them out last week

But then remember what team they put out in the 3rd round. And not just against any old team either but Everton! The FA Cup is nothing but a distraction. The fans want that league.

Anyone else with a crocked Kane wondering what to do? Thinking a straight swap for a reliable Auba is the way to go.

Have Vardy and Ings already, and I like my midfield of KDB, Martial, Mane and Grealish, so I'm not sure spreading the funds elsewhere makes sense right now (maybe in a couple of weeks to get Salah), so Auba seems fairly clearly the best option I can afford.

Rashford is another option with a juicy home fixture against Norwich but already have United cover

Well Heaton needs to go and I dont want -4 to get rid of another GK. Other option is Pope to Nyland and then Zaha/Rashford to Salah/Greenwood

SkySter

Done Pope to Ryan as Pope looks close to dropping. Have another transfer but will wait until after the Carabao cup games, just in case there is a significant injury.

I'll be going with Auba as my Kane replacement. Arsenal seem to be getting it together under Arteta and have a decent run of fixtures. Auba has always scored regularly, even if playing on the left. Laca isn't exactly banging them in so even when he starts up top, he often gets taken off and Auba shifts in. I know there are always risks associated with putting your fate in Arsenal but the alternatives aren't great so I'll be bringing in Auba.

I have Kane and a spare transfer and want to get a third pool player (already have Mane/TAA) so thinking Kane/Kelly to Gerry D/Robertson, or maybe try and get Salah over 2 weeks.
Also if Vardy doesn’t play tomorrow night that becomes another problem.

I did Pope to McCarthy to free up funds. Hoping he'll match Ryan/Foster, Saints defensive stats have been decent last 4 gameweeks.

My FT this week will be getting rid of Pope.

McCarthy is a great price but he plays against my attackers in 3 of the next 4.

Not great fixtures for him either until that improves from GW 26.

I’m down to Ryan or Henderson.

How many will have the plans and funds in place for salah and mane double up
Huge opportunity


I’ll prob end up wildcarding soon after 24 anyway
Normally would have used it by then !

Yeah I'm hoping for save points in the next 4 games. He's a sacrifice to get Salah in so hopefully will be worth it.

Almost 250,000 transfers out (and a price drop) for Vardy this game week
He's still (just ahead of KDB and Mane) the highest scoring player in the game and should be back fit, don't get why people are dropping him.
Is it a knee jerk reaction to the injury or are people bringing in someone cheaper to make money for 3 liverpool premiums in the short term or what's happening?

Yep no idea why . He’s back for this weekend

Green&Red

I dropped him before the last GW

I think Leicester will tighten up a lot and not be as free scoring as in the first half of the season

It’s a gamble but I was in on the ground floor, captained him GW7 for his brace against Newcastle. Hope to get out at the penthouse

They have scored 5 goals in their last 2 games, away from home and without Vardy. What makes you think they will tighten up?

Next 3 games are Southampton (h), Burnley (a), West Ham (h), Chelsea (h).

I can afford one more price drop in him before I lose resale value, and will plan to keep him for them 4 games.

Why? Their manager only knows one way to play. They actually an excellent defensive record this season, second fewest goals conceded, is it really possible for them to tighten up any more? They are 14 points ahead of Utd in 5th so have a serious buffer before they would drop out of the CL places, can't see what they would gain from a change in approach.

km79

Can't understand it with those 3 fixtures. It is something I am going to look at when I wildcard after that but not yet. Standout captain for me this weekend too

tailgunner

I don't think there will be a change in approach, it's more that the season is possibly going to start catching up with them. I dropped Vardy a couple of weeks ago as I thought they were starting to look a little tired. They've a small enough squad I think.

In the second half of the season when they won they league, there was way more grinding out 1-0/2-1 wins than blowing teams away, and not as many hauls for Vardy. That was grand as he was still cheap enough, but he's 10m now so it's a bit different. Still a big gamble to drop him of course.

But that was 5 seasons ago, and they didn't have Brendan Rodgers as their manager then either!

Only 4 seasons ago! But I take your point, I can't claim it was recent.

Looking at a Kane replacement for the next two weeks when I'll be bringing in a cheap forward to fund transfering in Salah (possibly DCL or Maupay). My other two forwards are Vardy and Ings and they're staying. The obvious choice seems Rashford, but Auba or Aguero are tempting me. Any thoughts guys?

I did Aurier and Pope out for Sidibé and Foster with my two free transfers.

I'd rule out Rashford from the ones you mentioned.

For two weeks I'd consider Tammy also. The FA cup replays factor into my thinking here and by extension I would consider Salah a week earlier and so maybe just get in DCL/Maupay this week.

I'll probably get DCL for King this week.

Porthallian

Have exact money for Aguero, Tammy, Maddison to Salah, Maupay, DCL.

But it's for a -8 so I'll wait until next week. Please don't go up in price

Different managers than previous seasons, where is all this thinking of them slowing down on the scoring front coming from?

Maupay's the one to monitor. Aguero and Maddison could rise soon too if that helps. You can make next weels transfers Friday if you're feeling brave

I don't think they will, but Villa doing a fine example of how to play a deep back 5 and supress Vardy.

Is it worth having Rashford in my team for this week , home to Norwich looks tempting ?

If you have him, hold him. I don't see the sense in bringing him in if you don't have him though.

Have to use a FT this week.

Will downgrade a defender.

Would be fantastic to know who Moyes plans to replace Fredericks with. Would also be great to know where he sees Reid in his plans.

Both are 3.9m and could be a great, playing, downgrade.

Have the exact funds to do Richarlison to Salah leaving me with the holy grail of TAA, Mane and Salah for the DGW

Question is should I wait until next week to do it as Ricky is home to Brighton this week?

His home form Everton isn't great and Salah could easily notch a goal or two vs Spurs

Given all the trouble with Everton at the minute, I think that they will want to put in a performance this weekend. Some are playing for the spots in the squad moving forward. I own DCL, so I'm hoping that's the case.

I currently have the TAA-Mane-Salah triple up. Salah has an excellent record against Spurs for Liverpool - Played 6 Scored 5 Assisted 1. But I am now half thinking of switching him for Mahrez this weekend only, and getting Salah in again next weekend. Albeit at a loss of 0.1 Mahrez is in form and seems to be nailed on at the moment.

I think Jose may park the bus up more than ever this weekend, just to try stop Liverpool scoring and try get out of the game with a draw, as he will see that as a good result. I'm starting to think that both Mane & Salah won't score. Only reason I'm chosing to swap Salah and not Mane is because of the money tied up in each (I have Mane for much longer).

And now I am doubling guessing myself and will keep Salah!

Yes Maupay close to a rise. Aguero rise wont give me any extra resale but one from Maddison would get me that crucial 0.1. I'll keep a close eye.

5/6 play on Saturday so hopefully I can decide on Saturday/Sunday how to proceed with my 2fts.

I think keeping Salah is the safe bet if you want to maintain a good OR. Ownership of Mahrez and Richarlison is quite low so they won't hurt you if they do perform.

Think I'm convincing myself to just do Ricky to Salah now and be done with it

I think Maupay has been close to that rise for a few weeks now.

You should be ok

If his fixtures were a bit better he’d be an easy pick.

Grealish if you had the extra funds or even Traore for next 2 gameweeks seems safer pick.

Jose can park 3 buses if he wants, that won't stop players like Aurier, Sanchez , Vertoghen or Dier from providing Xmas gifts to opposition well into January. It might not be pretty, but Liverpool will definitely score.

He kept Salah/Firmino/Coutinho scoreless at Anfield 2 years ago with a backline of Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Mattio Darmian, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia

I have just noticed that Auba is yellow flagged, illness - 75% chance of playing. Arsenal play in the early kick off on Saturday so limited recovery time. I intended bringing him in for Kane but looks like that is out the window. Maddison another problem for me.

He had a stomach bug on Monday, would be very confident he will start. But yes that small bit of uncertainty is pushing me towards Rashford for a one game punt and then Abua
