Yes this is why Robertson is not a season keeper.

Too much for a triple up? I'm nervous with two.

wow. Possibly

Sold Mane on a wildcard. Thinking about Robertson....

Hulk this info!

Good post. N1

Plenty of rest time between most of those games. Only issue may be between the Southampton and Chelsea EFL game. After that 3 days rest, which is plenty, in between the fixtures. You have to think Salah should play nearly all of them, maybe coming out early against Spurs to get a bit of extra rest.

Rotation does worry me looking at that. Might keep me off Robbo for just a bit longer...

With the investments made in the likes of Keita, Fabinho and Shaqiri etc I would assume rotation would be a stinger possibility this year.

I would expect max rotation will be in midfield and the full backs with the saints game the only risk for one of the front three which ever one has a knock or some fatigue.

The chelsea game in the EFL will definitely be a write off in the sense that max rotation will happen then.

Liverpool will have to play full strength or as close to in the other games. The main rotation will happen after this period, like last year - November and the back to back games with red star.

I think it could be time to off load one or maybe two, but not jump off completely.
The fact that Hazard is looking great in Sarri ball, with a good fixtures make the Salah to Hazard tempting.
With Mane and a defender already in many peoples team I think its a good move.

To put it into perspective, the money you save from Salah to Hazard will give you the posibility to upgrade a 4,3 defender into Alonso. And if you have some money in the bank, even Peltier to Alonso.

Was planning on switching Robertson out for this period in pre-season anyway and this solidifies my thinking. For the sake of getting in Alonso it seems such an obvious move.

Hard to believe listing fixtures is enough for a hulk.

Liverpool raises it for the big games.

EFL Cup will see players rest plus fake international injuries.

Premier League and Champions League games are tough not sure we will see such widescale rotation this early, players are fresh. Season is three games deep.

Personally I don’t see much rotation happening in the league. Liverpool have a genuine title chance this year and they dropped some easy points when rotating around Xmas time last year so I don’t think Klopp will risk it. When you’re up against this City team every point counts and you can’t afford to pick and choose when your star players play because if you get it wrong even once you could be left with a ‘what if’ feeling come May

Can't see Salah and Mané losing too many mins in the Prem/CL.

Robertson maybe more rotation, but still the first choice.

Not sure why everyone thinks Shaqiri and Sturridge are suddenly going to get anything more than the League Cup and half an hour in games they've already sown up.

Sat: Spurs (A) - Prem -- some rotation (Moreno, Shaq, midfield players)
Tue: PSG (H) - UCL -- the best XI
Sat: Southampton (H) - Prem -- the best XI (two home games, 4 days between them)
Tue: Chelsea (H) - EFL -- max rotation
Sat: Chelsea (a) - Prem -- the best XI, maybe 1-2 rotations
Wed: Napoli (a) - UCL -- the best XI (4 days of rest)
Sun: City (H) - Prem -- the best XI, maybe 1-2 rotations.

Dl;dr: I wouldn't be too worried about my triple liverpool

Already sold Salah for Hazard in what is certainly a very risky move and will likely swap Firmino for Vardy soon. Less sure what I'll do with Robertson.

The Southampton game is the only one that *really* worries me as Salah will be such a heavy captaincy pick. Hopefully that's where his minutes will be limited.

Beyond that I'm happy to play the fixtures and go with other options.

Hard fixtures but i wouldnt worry about Pool forwards,they will create chances.

They scored 4 goals vs City last season,think Alonso will have big problems vs Salah.

Nice. Have been keeping an eye on this fixture run.

I fancy Mané(c) v Southampton(H) during that run, so if I do end up losing triple Liverpool, it will be Salah > Hazard or funds for Kane.

TAA at 5m, is benchable btw. I have Perreira and AWB as 4th and 5th defenders so don’t feel the pressure to sell because of fixtures. That said, you wouldn’t want to bench Robertson but it’ll be interesting to see if owners stick by him if rotation occurs.

I don't see what's the big deal to be honest.You don't try to win the league and then go about rotating there 3 weeks in the season, unless you're Rafa. That EFL game is a writeoff anyway, and he can play Shakira and Solanke all he wants. 75 mins the big guns get in the 3 games a week run.

After Sou I will do Salah + Firmino to Eriksen + Kane. Dont have captain for liv vs city so Kane vs Cardiff should do good. Also after gw 8 good time to wildcard so can bring back salah

Classic FPL overthinking.

The EFL game will be max rotation, they won't care if they go out of that.

Take that one out and look at the rest between the other games:

3 days
4 days
7 days
4 days
4 days

Might see a couple of changes to freshen things up, but it's not going to be mass rotation, they want to win the league. If your asset gets caught up in changes then that is what your bench is for.

I had Robertson from the start, but it's WC time and in goes TAA. Or Pereira

v spurs: Best XI
v PSG: Best XI
v Soton: Expect rotation
v CFC: Further rotation
v CFC: Best XI
v Napoli: Best XI
V City: Best XI

"Best XI" might see minor rotation. But thats how i see Klopp's selection over the coming period. I don't for a second buy in to the hype of 3Xpool being a nessesity over the upcoming period. Those that dont have other fires to put out, might justly look to shift TAA/VVD/Robbo and Mane.

I'm not against punting on going without salah either. The captaincy against SOT might look like the biggest danger, but I would not be surprised at all, if that was the game he got benched. The only thing about Salah is the amount of transfers a round trip would require. If one gets rid, and the plan is to get back in gwk9, then thats 3-4 transfers tied over that period, basically revolving around one player. A gwk9 wildcard would mitigate all this, and is not an idea im opposed, as nufc, brighton and leicester assets looks really tasty going forward from that point onwards.

Alisson has done me proud so far but I think I will ditch him for Ederson for a few weeks on WC. Double Pool defence is a little bit of a worry after this GW!

With these fixtures, I think having 29.0m tied up in Liverpool is not wise(assuming Salah, Mané, Robbo)

Just listened to Triggerlips for the first time. He ranted about Liverpool and clearly don't like the club. Said he dosent like watching them. When he said rather watch Chelsea,Arsenal, Spurs. Decided he deserved Un Follow.

I think we'll see the bulk of rotation in the EFL game vs Chelsea.

or maybe one of Mane/Salah rested vs Southampton and the other in the EFL game with Shaqiri starting them 2, also remember sturridge is back and may replace firmino in one of those 2 games.

Wing backs the same.

If rotated during one game it means they have a good week break in between the congestion.

I can't see Klopp resting many against Spurs/Chelsea or City in the league as they're all huge games. The two CL games are huge however there could be some vs Napoli if we get a good result against PSG.

How does this compare to the other teams in UCL though? It's all relative if they have a similar schedule they have equal change of rotation.

There will be rotation, but the first two matches are too important, both in the league and the start of chl, and then 4 days rest, both at home so no travels), then a EFL match which there will be rotation and that leaves you with one week off for the attackers, possibly also some others. Then three matches in a week, i can´t see much of rotation there, possibly one or two changes. Liverpools rotation spinwheel will occur later, before and perhaps during the christmas period, like last year. If memory serves me right, Klopp didn´t rotate so much before we entered into the late november and december. Having three is nonetheless not in my plan, though. Partly because of fixture but also because some of the other top teams have nice fixtures in that period. To have for example 2 from Pool, 2 city, 1 arsenal, 1 or 2 from chelsea seems good in the next 7-8weeks.
