    Assuming Salah and Fraser are out this week, how does the below look:

      Toss a coin on the Everton midfielders. Personally I have Richarlison. I’m interested in Bernard at an even cheaper price but just one to watch for now.k

        Thanks all. Looks like Richarlison has slightly better penalty area stats, but then Siggy has more assist potential (with corners etc)

        Hopefully we'll get something definitive on Salah and Fraser

          I’d be confident in Sterling playing 75+ mins every gw. Can also play on either wing which is why I think Sane/Mahrez will be the two rotating this year, Mahrez playing when Mendy is.

      I want Laca but the sacrifice seems too great when his goal conversion is off the charts and can't last.
      I would want Robbo for sure and Maybe Mendy to go with Doherty. Can you make that work? Arnie can wait a week IMO

      I think your "mates" are having you on, Bross - they're probably doing something by themselves today while you wait for them... 🙂

    Let’s hope we get some certainty on Salah either way - confirmed out for weeks/months or confirmed back for Huddersfield....

    None of this will he won’t he right up to Saturday morning

      I expect something on the lines of ‘we will give him all the time he needs’ from Klop if I’m honest. Long time to go yet though. It’s not great either way unless we get that certain new as you say.

        What will we (owners) do if Klopp says sth like ‘he might be back for Cardiff’?

    Not often one can say players are fixture proof from average sides but here are a few names i would not change due to fixtures outside the top 6.
    Fraser King Wilson
    Schurle
    Richarlison
    Vardy
    Jiminez
    Arnie
    Zaha
    Can anyone add to this?
