With their blank Gameweek 27 now out of the way, Liverpool’s favourable set of upcoming fixtures is sure to see plenty Fantasy managers consider Brendan Rodgers’ side as a potential source of points. Factor in the current Gameweek 29 conundrum, with eight sides currently without a fixture, and the Reds’ appeal merely increases – with many premium priced defenders out of the equation, many will be looking to freshen up their backline ahead of the impending fixture chaos. Our latest article for members take a look at the respective displays of Liverpool pair Jose Enrique and Glen Johnson ahead of the weekend deadline as both full-backs make their way onto Fantasy radars.
so GW29 captain choices. Looks to me like the best options are
Lambert
Bentekkers
Sissoko
Cisse
Bale
Will stick mine on Bale, Lukaku or MichuOpen Controls
Suarez? But please, let's get through this week first 😀
Open Controls
Wouldn't trust Swansea way on recent form.
Suarez or Taarabt for me 😎Open ControlsHaha I know. But one of these days he will go large and I want to have him for that day.
Open Controls
Suarez ?
Open Controls
Cheeky Gerrard punt for gw 29 captain, the 2 forwards are splitting the spoils at the moment.
Open Controls
Great article. Just goes to show that GJ has a lot of stats going for him, but if you actually watch Liverpool play, he has been atrocious when on the ball.
Yes, he receives passes, but he does nothing when he gets the ball. Yes, he gets touches in the box, but nothing ever comes out of it. Yes, he shoots, but always off target.
I hope he can turn those stats into some form and then some FPL points.Open Controls
Yep, still annoyed the bugger got stuffed by Enrique at the double... So much potential there but if you actually watch the games he's off the mark a huge proportion of the time...
Open ControlsWe were talking about him in the DZ a bit last night, here's to hoping he does that vs. Wigan 😀

This, agony watching him in your team. Still, if you're playing the numbers game, he's gotta come good.
Open Controls
He's 'due' a 35 yard screamer soon 😉

Hi all, been taking a break the last week due to crap gameweeks and annoying posters, whether it be Unreal or otherwise... Planning to save a tranny this week, as I presume a good few on here will do, team looks like swiss cheese for GW 29. Also, props to Ginks on avoiding a real lambasting last night, although I reckon they definitely went easy on you ;)..
Open Controls
Don't look down, don't look down.....etc
Open Controls
Nah there just isnt anything to insult in my team
Open Controls
Fellaini Walcott Mata Sissoko Puncheon
RVP Aguero Sturridge
Save FT or sell RVP and Punch/Fell for Lambert/Suarez and Bale for a hit?Open Controls
Even City don't know what's going on with their GW29 fixture, the FA can't be this inept, oh no actually they can!!!!!!!
Open Controls
who to bench:
Michu Mata Walcott Bale Sissoko
Lambert Sturridge Kun
currently benching sturridge, as I just bought in Sissoko this week (knee-jerk)Open Controls
LightKnight - you still around?
Mystic Björk has had a vision that you'll beat me in Europa. I disagree 😉Open Controls
Afternoon all, been out of here for a while and completely unprepared for the GW. Got a benching dilemma so would appreciate any advice. Current team:
De Gea
Zaba Azpil Clyne
Felaini Mata Bale Walcott
RVP Suarez Lambert
Current Bench: Sissoko Pearce Davies Bunn
Benching Sissoko seems madness, but who do I drop for him? Thinking RVP out might resolve the problem but unless he is marked red I am loathed to drop him. Felaini perhaps? Help or advice appreciated.....Open Controls
So what's the deal with the City GW29 fixture?
If we hear nothing by today its 100% off?Open ControlsIt looks like it's off atm, as far as I know at least 7 days notice is required
Open ControlsThey'll have until Wednesday ish next week
Open ControlsDarn. Needed to know by tonight ideally.
If it was on I was going to take a punt on Aguero for 2 weeks...
Ah well, guess its a sign thenOpen Controls
No, I think they have until Tuesday. It will be looking more and more unlikely though, the longer it goes on.
My favourite theory is that the the clubs have agreed a date between themselves and they're waiting for FA who are waiting for UEFA. We'll see.Open Controls
rvp gonna play or not?
Open Controls
A bit of a random question (to settle a pub argument).....
Who would be the biggest transfer flop, considering the transfer fee paid at the time?? (Premier League only)
there is the obvious Torres (£50m) & Carroll (£30m), but what about Shevchenko (£30m) or Veron (£28m)Open ControlsIts Shevy for me, always was
Open Controls
Torres 7 goals, 8 assists this season... not catastrophic
Open ControlsI'm tempted to do Wilkinson -> Wilson with FT in case one of my 3 defenders doesnt start (Zabaleta, Davies, JEvans)... the problem is that if I get Wilson I dont know which one to bench... 5th defender is Pearce who seems to have been dropped...
Open Controls
Djemba Djemba to Villa. Man U should have paid Villa to take him......
Open ControlsAndre Santos €7 million
Open Controls
Shevchenko and Carroll. They turned out to be actual flops. Torres, while a ridiculous price tag, is in a system that needs the striker to provide for the midfielders and score fewer goals (same thing is happening to Ba but since he cost less nobody is freaking out and declaring him the worst footballer to ever play in the history of forever.)
Open Controls
Jean Alain Boumsong (£8m)
Albert Luque (£9.5m)
Xisco (£5.7m)
Marcelino (£5.8m)Open ControlsHaha! No, I like to expose our failings as much as possible in the hope we can learn from the mistakes 🙂
Open Controls
Naming Newcastle transfers is cheating and you know it
Open Controls😆
Open Controls
Carl Cort £7m
Michael Owen £115k/week for 4 years
Titus Brambe £6mOpen ControlsCarl Cort - nice one.
I decided against naming Owen as it usually turns into a ridiculous argument where Newcastle fans are coloured as having ridiculous expectations above our station 🙄Open ControlsBassedas £4m.. although I've got a soft spot for him
Silvio Maric - £3m? Suppose it wasn't too much £wedge.
Either way, you could make an awful xi out of this bunch.Open ControlsThink I posted my worst Newcastle XI of recent years once, many of the above would have been in it. Think there might have been room for Fumaca and Georgiadis too.
Open Controls
I have Suarez + Benteke for GW29. Should I just bench RVP that week or get Lukaku in?
Open Controls
Is Jay Rodriguez a viable an alternative to Ricky Lambert at just £5.1m? I cannot afford Ricky Lambert unless I take a 4 point hit which is a real prob with all this uncertainty.
Open ControlsNah Lambert is much better. JRod should only be considered in a flair emergency. If you want that much, just get ALF. He's nailed on for the next 3 and has pens.
Open ControlsI accept Lambert is much better. This is a dilemna based on the next two gameweeks. Neither player would be handed the captaincy and beyond this, i would feel much frustration having to decide whether to leave Lambert on the bench. I guess the question is then, will Lambert score 4 more points over the next two gameweeks?
Open Controls
Who will play as striker for WBA if Long is injured this gw?
Open ControlsOdemthingie, Fortune or Rosenberg
Open Controls
Ok in your opinions what are the chances of RVP and Fellaini playing this weekend
Open Controls
Repost from last article that got lost while q'ing to get into this one
Play Wilson (WHU) or Davies (NEW)
Have Begofish……Open Controls
If there ever was a GW where it was this hard to decide on a captain pick then it has to be this GW!
I have never been this undecided over a captain choice.
I have moved the (c) armband around the following: Bale, Mata, Lambert and now have it on Michu. I choose not to even consider Suarez or even RVP who are good shouts for the armband…Damn!!!! I’m still gonna take it off Michu…but to who???..Feck!Open ControlsSuarez averages 9ppg vs bottom 10 teams. Just saying
Open ControlsWell it seems Wigan are on their customary relegation escape form...
Open Controls
you me, both and about 100,000 other distrute fantasy managers have the same dilema!
Open ControlsI just can't wait for this GW to be done with!
Open Controls
I forsee lots of heartbreak...
Open Controls
Yes.
Open Controls
No. Have you?
Open Controls
Yup, tis alright. Some good performances, but it's fairly forgetful.
Open Controls- Open Controls
Cant decide on Suarez or Bale as Captain this week. Currently on Suraez but I can see me changing it tomorrow at 11 AM
Open ControlsRoysCallerAnne, ready for our Europa tie this weekend? 😎
Open ControlsNo not at all. I was all set to dump RVP but I think I've too many other problems to deal with.
Might just do a boring defence swap ( Bertrand -> Enrique ).Open Controls
Get Lambert instead of Sturridge
Open Controls
I've been off the scout for awhile so can someone enlighten me to the GW29 fixtures that are off, and the potential ones to be called off, thank you!
Open Controls
So in the last 4 games at the DW, neither Liverpool or Wigan have scored more than 1 goal.
Think it'll be another tight game?Open ControlsCome on Granville and other long-term Untied fans, you've had 30 years of this now. Surely, you can tell us what SAF will do with RvP this weekend? 😀
Open ControlsI’m tempted to do Wilkinson -> Wilson with FT in case one of my 3 defenders doesnt start (Zabaleta, Davies, JEvans)… the problem is that if I get Wilson I dont know which one to bench… 5th defender is Pearce who seems to have been dropped…
Or if Sturridge doesnt play I may end up with 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 (RVP 0 minutes)Open Controls
Do you think the Wigan victory will have expression over Liverpool?
Open ControlsNo. You don´t understand it do you? I´ll try again in the new page...
Open Controls
11 years, 3 months agoOkay Why wait This fellaini to sissoko for mext week?
I'll do it now, already have rvp and stur to worry about.
great call to keep Him for Next two about week Ago
