    2 FTS. Looking at Trent, Porro, Solanke to VVD, Doughty and Haaland. Don't trust Trent's minutes any more, especially for the double and selling him also means I can keep Watkins.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    hmm have TAA and VVD myself, would really like some sort of Liverpool attacker for DGW but can’t really see who to drop based on form. Might just leave as is and have 2 FT going into the DGW



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,465 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Have 2 FTs.

    Alvarez to EBH.

    Have Lascelles and Nakamba who won't get enough/any game time.

    Might bring in Branthwaite and deal with Nakamba when I WC.



  • Registered Users Posts: 696 ✭✭✭Newbie20


    Going to do Porro to Ake this week and will leave me enough money if I want to get Darwin for Solanke next week. The money spent on Porro and Trent seems a waste at this stage with clean sheets non existent.



  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Luna Chubby Raffle


    I think I'll hold fire this week and maybe go De Bruyne & Solanke to Haaland & midfielder next week with my 2 FT.

    Isak might be on the chopping block here. With the doubles coming I might roll till we get more news



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭crushproof


    Is Salah expected to be back for DGW?



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Another headache this week.

    Either Gordon to Jota, or Solanke to Darwin.

    If I bring in Jota, then I'll have to bench Saka, Palamer or Solanke this GW, which could come back to haunt me (again!).

    I also need to decide if I need KDB for the double or not (I currently have Foden and Haaland). I could bring in Alvarez for Solanke in DGW25 to cover for not having KDB. I think I'll have to not bring in KDB realistically.

    Pros and Cons for Jota and Darwin, lads?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Given Palmer has a blank GW coming up it might be easier to do him to Jota and bench Gordon who is kinda injured.

    Then depending on Sarah's availability Jota is likely to get more minutes than Darwin,

    Darwin though is going to get 20+ points in some GW given somE of the chances he’s missed in multiple games, a double that includes Luton is probably the most likely time, if you knew he would start both I’d go with him.

    I’d probably prefer Darwin over Alverez



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Jota all day for me, more consistent and then like you said allows for Solanke to Alverez for DGW

    Anyone else thinking of dumping Porro or just wait until he blanks?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,718 ✭✭✭Gusser09


    Went TAA to Tripper.

    Probably backfire now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Probably swap him out for a City defender ahead of DWG25.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,665 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Don't see the attraction of City defenders, they aren't keeping clean sheets or offering an attacking threat. They' looked vulnerable again yesterday. I'd rather triple up on attack but that's just me.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Yeah I have Ake already and he's been very frustrating to own



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,303 ✭✭✭COH


    Miles behind in my leagues now and dropped to 900k OR after a few good weeks in a row so took a -4 for the following:

    Solanke > Haaland

    Bowen > Jota

    Colwill > Van Dijk



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Agree with this - when you look at VVD nearly every game he gets his head on the end of a corner - he is bound to score every now and again and is guaranteed to play



  • Registered Users Posts: 696 ✭✭✭Newbie20


    Looking for advice, thinking of Darwin in for Solanke and replacing Porro at the back to get the extra money needed for Darwin. The only problem is I’ll have another benching headache (benched Foden this week!)

    Id have

    Saka Palmer Richarlison Jota Foden

    Darwin Watkins Haaland

    im thinking it would be Watkins I’d bench despite him just getting 18 points. Is it madness to take a -4 and end up benching Watkins? I’m just very wary of Darwin finally delivering over the next few nice fixtures especially Burnley at home.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    The thing with Darwin is does he start the next 3 games?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,191 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    He's the focal point of the Liverpool attack, and team right now. They play much much better when Nunez is on the pitch. Even when Salah is back, Nunez will still be the spearhead of the team. That doesn't mean he will be the finisher of chances, but he certainly is the focal point.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Yea but he didn't start against Arsenal, in a game that they didn't want to lose.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    I'm gonna have the same midfield as you if I bring in Jota. I'll have Haaland, Solanke and Watkins up top. So I'll also have a benching headache too. Scarred too from laving Richarlison on the bench last week also!

    For me it's between Palmer, Saka and Solanke to bench. I find it hard to bench Watkins at home, and United have their moments at the back, he could haul. I don't feel good benching either of those 3 players but something has to give. Crazily I'm leaning towards Saka, as he's not officially on pens I don't think. The only annoying thing is that West Ham might have Fabianksi in goal and they were awful against United, and Arsenal great against Liverpool, so it feels like the wrong time to bench him. Interestingly, FFS have left Palmer out of their bus team this GW, and they play Saka. Watkins and Solanke don't make the team either. NOT looking forward to this decision!



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Agree. I don't think I'll be bringing in Darwin, as I slightly prefer Jota, but I don't doubt his minutes, especially after being rested against Arsenal, and Liverpool playing so poorly. I'm quite fearful of Jota's minutes however, he tends to get hooked early, and Salah could be back soon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,191 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Because he was injured in the previous game and wasn't fit. Which Klopp said before the game. He had started 8 of the previous 9 games.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,191 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Yeah I think Jota, and Salah too, benefits from Nunez playing also. Nunez bullied the Chelsea defence in the midweek recently and had 2 defenders marking him most of the time freeing up the space for Jota. I brought in Jota myself last week for this reason, and because of Jota's record against Arsenal. Nunez missing out ruined my plans then.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,665 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Is it just me or was the game more enjoyable when Haaland was injured? I don't even want to buy him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    He'll be my captain this week but I wish he wasn't.

    Game has been better the last week trying to navigate transfers and best captain picks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,744 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    I’m not bringing him in between now and end of Season,unless he goes in an insane run of form.

    Game is more fun without him,more difficult to pick Captain etc.

    TBF I’m out of contention in Private Leagues so it’s easier to go without Haaland as there won’t be repercussions from it.

    Had a poor run before Christmas with lads going down with injuries and was on wrong side of Captains picks several times.

    Also forgot to change team a couple of weeks which proved disastrous 🙈

    Currently down at 1.7m O.R. which is my worst ranking in years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,733 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    So my hit to bring in Gordon hasn't exactly worked out 😕

    I can bench him and start Elanga, but getting tempted by Luis Diaz for the juicy next 3 fixtures

    100%. No enjoyment when everyone has the same template team and EBH as captain. I wouldn't wish an injury onto anyone but would be delighted if he headed off to Madrid in the Summer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    The funny thing is how many people where saying this when Sturridge, Sterling and Suarez were banging in the goals every week a few seasons back, or when Kane, Aguero, Salah were staples of people's teams. At the end of the day, just see it as you have to pick another 10 players to outscore your opponents.

    Over the last few weeks, most people seem to have a template team - how many people had at least 6 of the following : Ricky, Palmer, Saka, Foden, Solanek, Watkins, Gordon, Aleverez - and no one was complaining about everyone team being the same?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭MaxPower89


    Solanke and Porro to Daughty and Darwin for -4. Thinking about Odegaard to Jota, but might kick to touch to next week. The former is due a goal. Porro was an easy sell, not keeping cleanies and blanks in a few weeks.


    Wanted Gvardiol as I thought he played high against Brentford, surely a good chance of a cleanie this week too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,937 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    awful tempted to use the free hit even tho pool and city have doubles coming up

    The thought of having 3 pool, city players v burnley and everton

    adebayo v sheff utd

    feels like there'll be a right haul there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,695 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    Is Bradley back today?

    Seems Robertson is tipped to start today.


    FPL Toni has tweeted that Foden starts.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,465 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Is he just a City itk, or does he do other teams too?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭crushproof




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,739 ✭✭✭mobydopy




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Gets bits of other teams also, tweeted Nunez now starting. Might get one more before deadline, or he might confirm KdB benching also.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Even if kdb is benched just means not captained him - you’d be brave to bench him



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    With KdB benched, I might now start Alvarez and it's Solanke to Nunez with 1 FT. And then other FT will be either Estupinan or Porro our for a low priced defender.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    If I owned him I'd start him. But wouldn't transfer him in this GW.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Walker benched, FPL Toni



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,665 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Last minute -4 Adebayo in for Mubama and KDB benched...let's see how this turns out!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,164 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Chickened out of holding onto Alvarez for Haaland. Captaincy pull was too strong. Brought Barkley in for Bowen with second ft.
