What was the safety score?

I'm out of this right?

What is this

I would guess so. Seems to be a Klopp favourite

It's very difficult to say. Both him and Wij have done well when playing. So far Klopp has only changed it when injuries force his hand

He will soon enough. Might take a few games.

A little. The other 2 non-Butland keepers are also 4.3 though so not the end of the world.

He's 33 years old. Derby have lost the plot if they think they can get 4m for him.

I rate Victor Mannone very highly but I genuinely think Pickford is going to keep him out of the Sunderland team at the moment. Moyes mentions his performance every other post-match interview and he's good for save points against bigger clubs as well as weaker ones.

Not a Lovren fan? Klavan has been solid

Probably the logical CB pairing. A shame that Klopp fell out with Sakho, Matip-Sakho would have been quite good. We'd probably be much closer to Chelsea, if not ahead.

Solid team!

Soon it will say "Didn't qualify"

is there anything more pointless than the FPL Cup?

I thought to qualify previously you just needed to be top 1mill?

Kane is rubbish. Costa depends on how much value you have tied up, many are benching him.

ive benched costa and transferred kane to ibra

I got Ibra in for Costa, but might do Kane -> Costa after this gw if Kane blanks again. Would keep Costa if you got him early though.

Kane isn't bad imo, looks alright, but not worth anywhere near 11m and not a great fixture next either. You could sell Costa if you just bought him and pray that he doesn't explode after returning (which he hasn't so far this season, but certainly capable).

Antonio is being played as a wing back so maybe not. I had thought about him too. Apart from that, it is a nice team.

Looks solid

We have an almost identical team for this GW. Antonio + Defoe to my Lallana + Caroll is the only difference. So i like it 😉

You'd hope so. Cahill is in the form of his career and still average 😛

Cahill is past his best but certainly not dire. Kurt has the potential to be one of the best CBs in the world in my opinion but Chelsea have no need to change anything at the moment. Playing every game like they are intent on winning the league already. Plus, Conte knows Zouma will be gaining enough experience in training at the moment, similar to Batshuayi.

I would sooner go 3-4-3 and just play three OOP defenders. I reckon there is still value to be had in midfield

Hmm. Not sold on the non-Costa argument. Looks like the most consistent attacker, and gets a rest this week. I got him late myself (10.8), and plan to bring him back in for Kane.

I've been playing 4 at the back for most of the season, to no avail having only just acquired a Chelsea defender, and I'm genuinely considering getting two of Azpi, Alonso, Luiz.

I'm also unlikely to get Costa given Aquero is back and I own Hazard and it makes a double up at the back very wise given how stand out Chelsea's defence is.

Brunt is definitely the best option after the new year and Cedric should make up for not starting the last two over the next few GWs.

Other than that its open for debate if you don't have Walker, which I do, and don't want to consider the potential of Arsenal and Man Utd's back lines scoring big with such good upcoming fixtures. Valencia and Kosielny could be brilliant options if both teams can keep enough clean sheets.

The major downside for me is playing only three mids when so many are in form this year. I'm more keen on 4-4-2 personally.

Who are you selling and are you taking a hit?

Zlatan cos there's no point getting Costa for a GW he won't play and Sturridge impacts Origi time.

I think empirically, yes, there is something to be said for it - I was on Sanchez (luckily) for 46 points, then for an assist for 10, then switched to Kane for these past 2 weeks. Had I stuck with Sanchez for all 4 weeks I'd be far better off.

(Incidentally, Sanchez has always got at least one assist when I've captained him. Kane has blanked every single time I've captained him going back to last season)

Not a bad idea. Aguero has been a bit like that this season. Hazard too actually.

Dead teams on (C)osta prove it is probably the best way to go and by that I mean just sticking to your most consistent player every week. If I'd kept it on Mane since GW1 I'd have 20-40 more points right now.

Genuinely think sticking it on Azpi/Alonso is a good plan currently. Clean sheets home/away, bonus magnets and assist potential not to mention Alonso's goal threat.

You will not miss hauls from a certain player by sticking with him, but might certainly miss hauls from other players. As the last weeks have shown us; might as well toss a coin 😉

Might need to look at it again. Getting slightly desperate in this freefall

ML leader has had it on Hazard from GW1. Got those immense hauls all along and Hazard blanks have coincided with Kane blanks etc.

That rank is obscene. I wish I could swap Grey for one of the defenders over the next few fixtures. Could be number 1 by the new year. Winston Reid has done him wonders.

That team has Gray Redmond and Hazard. Probably someone from around here set that team up and left it for the season. Hard to imagine casuals going for those three after last season.

That makes me feel ill

Please stop this cruel and unnecessary harassment immeddiately!!

Somebody has to let Conor Kelly know that he is doing well.. but should he tinker or leave things as they are?

Hard to tell. 😉

Save ft do it next week?
No can't see Wenger changing it

A is the way to go. Don't want to be getting rid of Mané until he leaves for ACON. Stoke at Anfield next and Sadio is dynamite at home.

Very true. I don't bother commenting here on game days anymore. During the week dead zone is the best : )

Always.
Could even say the difference is night and day 😉

im used to the slow pace the pages go too quick during the 'day' dont get many responses

After they randomly select the last spots.

Start with one green. Your run will follow.

The next load of fixtures are a gold mine for the popular players.

Get that captaincy on Alexis and watch as the greens keep on rolling.

Shake it off, Champ. Plenty of rounds left.

Allen. What about a 4th defender?

Allen for sure. Against his old club, will definitely start and plays in a better team. Anichebe is a great value option but a bit of a lottery, especially away at Utd.

Depends entirely on your team. You're able to get Aguero back in easily which can't be said for many people so that is definitely the main advantage of leaving it so late. Only problem is City's fixtures not being great when Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd's look so good.

Within the next two weeks.

when aguero and costa come back.

Looks good, save

Rather get Snoddy.

All good options including Vokes and Benteke.

I've also gone for Llorente. Scored 4 in his last two home games and has two homes against poor teams coming up. Carroll + Benteke against weak teams also but both away over the next two GWs.

Vokes and Grey are interesting. Burnley are like a different team at home so one of them will do well given they are also playing at home two weeks in a row.

You are in the random draw.
If there are more than 2,097,152 qualifiers then there will be a random draw amongst the lowest scorers to see who qualifies.

There is about 24K who need to fit into 8K.

A little light up top, would consider upgrading Origi when you get the chance.
