    Ugh benching problems. Who takes the final place?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Trippier, Robertson, Doherty
    Hazard, Mane, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Vardy, Arnie

    Foster, AWB, Billing

    Really should be Doherty but he's been scoring so many I only brought him in this week to cover my main rival who keeps piling on the points. Otherwise it is Arnie, Fraser or Richie

    Was considering Keane to Mendy, but he’s getting chances and stats suggest he could be worth keeping for a while. CRY up next and decent game every other week.

    Would need a hit to fund it, got exact cash for Kane to Kun.

    What do you guys think?

            0.3m short of Sterling,Lacazette.
            I’m reluctant to take a -8 and do Salah,Kane,Zaha >> Sterling,Lacazette,Aguero. Which would only leave TAA as my only Liverpool.

            Could always do Kane,Zaha >> Firmino,Laca if Salah is ok.

              Yeh would the hit easier to swallow if Bobby was on form. Not sure despite the good fixtures I’m too bothered about Liverpool attacking coverage. TAA and Robertson or one of them might suffice.

              I would like Arnie as well. Originally Zaha was keeping his place warm in my team but if Salah is sold I could stretch to Lacazette or Firmino. Could always jump off Mitrovic in a few weeks for Arnie instead.

    If the Salah injury means he is no go, and in light of Mane's drought, I'm flirting with the idea of a 5 man back line, how mental is that! :

    Robbo - Alonso - Mendy - TAA - Doherty

    Not going to do it because of the inflexibility it would create (2 transfers to get out of it), but it looks great for this week. And getting Mane in for these Liverpool fixtures almost feels like a punt.

    Has anyone else considered a similar route? Is this a viable way to cover Liverpool fixtures if you think their attack is stuttering, without having to sacrifice Alonso, Mendy, Wolves defender?
