Zaha hoovering those points now.

wanderer100 · 15-08-2022 7:35pm

Ffs double Pool CS gone :(

shmeee · 15-08-2022 7:35pm

Double CS wipe out and Salah (c) CS gone too.

And Liverpool totally dominant.

Father Hernandez · 15-08-2022 7:35pm

Choosing Elliot wastes a valuable Liverpool spot IMO.

Like to have 3 Liverpool big hitters but today's result might change that..

Cypher_sounds · 15-08-2022 7:36pm

Ok that's it, think I'll stick to one pool defender for the time being.

COH · 15-08-2022 7:36pm

Zaha could score 50 goals today and Ill still never own him again

You'll have missed his haul! :)

Relegation Six Pointer next Monday, between Man Utd v Liverpool.

I'm very tempted to sell TAA, when you compare his price v Chelesa/City is he worth the money - similar argument every year, but with pool playing a 3/4th choice CB is the appeal really there - they play such a high line that all you need is one good ball and the opposition is in, there was a warning sign minutes earlier when Eze was just offside.

Diaz yellow

Zaha in again there and Allison made good save

wonski · 15-08-2022 7:40pm

Diaz booked

Mr Crispy · 15-08-2022 7:42pm

Liverpool's defence hasn't looked solid going back into last season.

Muahahaha · 15-08-2022 7:44pm

Pool defence is out of sorts and throwing up chances to Palace on the break. Could still see TAA and Robbo getting points though

wonski · 15-08-2022 7:45pm

To be fair you don't buy the likes of TAA or Cancelo for clean sheets only.

You don't buy them for clean sheets at all.

Cancelo already proved being worth more than other City defenders like Walker, TAA will do too, just this game somehow it didn't work yet.

But he could have 2 assists or a goal by now.

They won't be playing a 3rd/4th choice CB every week. He's a guaranteed 200 points if he stays fit, apart from Cancelo what other City/Chelsea defender will get that. He's leading the bonus in this despite having conceded. Depends what you do with the extra cash I guess.

Fitz* · 15-08-2022 7:52pm

TAA CS is gone but he is still on for max bonus currently. He is a bonus magnet with all the chances he creates.

That said, the double Liverpool defence is very bad right now. I think it could be TAA only really in terms of Liverpool defence. As he is a constant attacking threat.

Ace2007 · 15-08-2022 8:03pm

Matip is injured and talk that could be a few weeks - lets say he misses 3/4 games, pool then have City, Arsenal and Chelsea two of which are away from home. Who knows how many CS they will get over the next 9 games. You compare those 9 games against say City or Chelsea's fixtures, you could have James and Cucu/Walker for 11m, it's going to cost you 11.5m min to have TAA and any other defender.

He's gotten 200+ points in two of the last 4 season, so it's not a guaranteed 200 points. He goal return isn't that great in comparison to say James. If James plays the same minutes as TAA, I reckon he would beat him, or be close enough to say the extra 1.5m that TAA costs isn't worth it.

Compare VVD to TAA, VVD has more goals than TAA over last number of seasons, so your paying a premium for assists - now is he worth the money? Sure he'll have games where he get 18 points and everyone will say that's why you have TAA.

Ace2007 · 15-08-2022 8:15pm

Darwin red card for headbutt (pre 60 mins)

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119478154#Comment_119478154

Fair points. Problem with James is he'll likely never play the same amount of minutes due to rotation and being injury prone. When the player is getting 12+ assists a season and the bonus that comes with them, I do probably think it's worth paying the premium.

Mr Crispy · 15-08-2022 8:20pm

Darwin the idiot.

Ace2007 · 15-08-2022 8:20pm

Diaz goal

wonski · 15-08-2022 8:20pm

Diaz goal.

KrakityJones · 15-08-2022 8:22pm

Nunez out Diaz in then.. Right so

shmeee · 15-08-2022 8:22pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119478276#Comment_119478276

What.a.goal

Wow!!

Ace2007 · 15-08-2022 8:22pm

Milner, Robertson, Phillips off (post 60)

Henderson, Gomez, and Timekz on

extra gravy · 15-08-2022 8:23pm

Robbo subbed. Going for him over Diaz not looking great now. I might make that change with my two fts.

Mr.Prodston · 15-08-2022 8:29pm

Got exactly what I deserved for kneejerking Kane -> Darwin (albeit with the addition of Bailey -> Kulu being somewhat more prudent). Ooops!

Fitz* · 15-08-2022 8:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119478314#Comment_119478314

I think he broke a couple fingers during the week. Wasn't known about until during the game. Tsimikas only returned this game too, so maybe not fit enough to start yet?

crushproof · 15-08-2022 8:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119478364#Comment_119478364

Annoying, if Robbo didn't play I would have had Nico Williams come on with 7 points.

Ace2007 · 15-08-2022 8:37pm

Zaha in again at back, shot hits the post.

Dr. Bre · 15-08-2022 8:37pm

Zaha sitter

shmeee · 15-08-2022 9:00pm

63 points. Red arrow from 700k or so to 1.2 million. Was all in with Robbo, TAA and Salah (c) tonight and only TAA's 2 BPS were a worth a small smile if even.

wonski · 15-08-2022 9:00pm

TAA might get 1 bonus point.

Better than nothing.

Father Hernandez · 15-08-2022 9:05pm

65 all out.

2mil OR.

Brutal start.

crushproof · 15-08-2022 9:15pm

Salah captain fail, thank goodness Haaland didn't light up

Xander10 · 15-08-2022 9:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119478643#Comment_119478643

I might re-think Salah (TC) next week!

Muahahaha · 15-08-2022 9:56pm

63 and a red arrow to 250k OR. Bit of an underwhelming week given 10 of 11 players were at home. TAA, Salah and Mount the main let downs

I dont own Darwin but guessing he will get 3 game ban for violent conduct? Wonder where his owners will go.

Scorpion Sting · 15-08-2022 10:10pm

67 points sees a rise to 1.14 million.

Going with Robbo and Mount over James and Diaz has proved quite costly these first few GWs.

Mr Crispy · 15-08-2022 10:11pm

@Muahahaha Yeah, 3 game ban. If it was me, I think I'd go for Toney given BRE's fixtures (assuming they already have Jesus etc).

Ace2007 · 15-08-2022 10:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119478825#Comment_119478825

Toney is probably a popular choice with great fixtures and form

Fitz* · 16-08-2022 8:11am

74 and green arrow to 138k. Wouldn't get too caught up on the OR just yet because of the number of chips being used at the start but keeping in touch is good so HEWT.

AlmightyCushion · 16-08-2022 11:03am

82 last week and 83 this week. Nice and consistent. If I can continue to get 80+ points a week, I might do alright this season :D At about 12,000 OR which is crazy. Doing way better than I expected

Cartman78 · 16-08-2022 11:39am

A half decent 74 in GW1 followed by a distinctly meh 54 in GW2 and OR of 2m.

Not panicking yet but had a similar start last year and couldn't get going at all after it :-(

Actually fairly happy with my team but not having James and Cancelo is killing me. Son not performing is also an issue

Benimar · 16-08-2022 12:06pm

74 points. Up from 4.1m to 1.8m.

Cancelo and James are killing me (that was an OG!). Going Cash and Mount instead hasn’t worked at all.

BobDole22 · 16-08-2022 3:15pm

59 all out green arrow up to 4.6m
