Salah v bre

Hit return prematurely on the first poll.

Can't see beyond these three options. I'm going Salah, I don't think Brentford have been tested yet.

Villa moved to a five at the back to counteract Evertons crossing game, I think they'll stick with that for the weekend, although they are without Tuanzebe. United had there most crosses yet this season v West Ham.

Antonio v lee

Havent voted as Im still on the fence as whether to go Salah or Antonio. AFAIK Brentford play 5 at the back so this sounds like one of those games where they will pack the defense using a low block, the type of scenario Liverpool struggled to break down at times last season. Brentford have kept 4 clean sheets in 5 games so there must be something about them at the back. Salah can score against anyone of course but Im not expecting a goal fest in that fixture.

Antonio still a risky option but you know the Leeds game will be open flowing football. That combined with the Leeds defence being in a mess is attractive. Struijk is suspended, Cooper injured and Ayling was moved from right back to centre back and is now an injury doubt himself.

Is there any risk that Salah will be rotated?

Ronaldo v AVL

Almost zilch, huge game for Liverpool against a tough team, Salah on fire lately, was rested midweek.

It's a really tough call this week. Brentford have surprisingly good defensive numbers, both real and underlying. I feel like I probably have to captain Ronaldo here, especially as I have only him from United and 3 Liverpool players.

Ronaldo v AVL

Very tempted to triple Ronnie i need to make ground

The real mccoy 91 · 24-09-2021 8:35am

Don't have Ronaldo.. not convinced on Salah this week don't see Brentford giving up a bucket load of goals. I'm feeling Antonio but Benny is looking at me as a fun punt.. not the time for punts like though is it? Gonna be one of the hammers either way

Ronaldo v AVL

have it on Ronaldo at the moment, but i hate the early kick offs and so do most players.

Might change it later to Salah as a 5.30 kO on sky, he could do serious damage

Antonio v Leeds Reserves?

Could be tempted

Does H/A matter for captaincy this season again? West Ham being away to Leeds is putting me off captaining Antonio again this week.

Antonio v lee

I'm thinking the same. West Ham impressed me on the counter attack against United and Leeds defence will be weak.

I've switched to Antonio

Salah v bre

@Fitz* 59% of goals scored by the home team

Still leaves 41%

You've all season to make ground.

Most of the time I'd prefer a player at home but the Leeds defence were awful at home against Everton and Liverpool shipping 5 goals so I wouldn't let that stop me. I do think that teams have kinda figured out how to play Leeds now in their 2nd season.

Antonio v lee

Ive put it on Antonio, even though he is playing away Im thinking of the four goals WH scored away to Newcastle and feel they will be just as attacking against that diminished Leeds defence. It looks like it has the ingredients for a very open game with lots of chances. I have Salah and Ronnie too so if Antonio doesnt haul at least their returns will mitigate the choice somewhat.
