Should FPL managers be buying, selling or holding Liverpool attacking assets?

Fantasy Premier League managers cannot ignore Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures, even if the Reds have disappointed in recent weeks.

Jurgen Klopp’s men face Huddersfield (away), Cardiff (home), Arsenal (away) and Fulham (home) between now and Gameweek 12.

Those fixtures warrant investment but recent displays have complicated the debate over which Liverpool assets are the best ones to own.

We take a look at some of the most asked questions about Liverpool ahead of Gameweek 9.

    Neither buying or selling at this moment in time

    Just hold onto assets and review come the end of next week when we know more about injuries etc

        Patricio might be injured, so would monitor that (given Hamer):

          He's only been released as a precaution, along with Bernardo Silva (and Pepe).

              I can't read Portugese, but articles seem to be saying Bernardo was released b/c the next game's just a friendly whereas Patricio b/c he has (translated) "physical complaints" i.e. an injury of some kind.

                You are right. Actually I am Portuguese and you understood it well - Bernardo and Pepe were released by technical reasons, whereas Patricio out was due to physical issues

        Definitely buying. I do believe form follows fixtures and these are the best fixtures that any top 6 side will get this season.

        Salah if possible but if he's injured, Mane or Firmino will have to do along with double Pool at the back.

        What are your views on knockaert/Murray/duffy?

        They have 6 AWAY games in next 10, will there be scarcity of goals?

        If you have to choose, which players will you choose ( from Brighton) and why?

          Duffy and Ryan are the two I am considering. I'd back their defence over goals.

          As long as you are not overly reliant on Duffy playing all games for your team i would say he is a good option during this nice run. But if you look closely at it those fixture are not THAT great, but Brighton are decent and it actually gets better in the end of the run, Murray still scoring but for me no, Knockaert is a maybe but for me, Frasier even with a seemingly harder fixturelist seems a better prospect longterm. And if you look closely at those fixtures i´m not totally convinced they are so bad after all attackingwise. I would fancy Bournemouth to score both against Arsenal and United home, and even a goal vs City could be on the cards, lesser attacking teams have scored at Etihad. And after Liverpool, they embark on a nice run again.

                No it's just that I've held Salah all this time. If his injury isn't very serious may prefer to sell but roll a FT to get him back later. Which is yet another week where something comes up to postpone selling Pedro.

              Robertson / Mane / Salah seem a great trio.

              However, for now I’ll hold with Robertson and Mane

                  They are great but I'd be looking at Mane for Salah, and he has no return in 4 PL games (7 games across competitions). Haven't checked for Firmino. Fixtures have been tough and clustered, but that still doesn't fill me with optimism. Esp if Sturridge/Shaqiri get involved too.

              Seems bit of ill thought of article considering majority of members are serious players and wont be selling before hud CAR FUL. You can say its not obvious for others but managers who kept for che mci would NEVER sell for the stretch ahead barring injury. Wish mods would have instead put efforts to discuss sterling vs kun, wilson vs king and sub 5mn strikers

                  I don't really like GW10 for alternative captaincy, so I think I'd want to keep Salah for Cardiff regardless.

                If it’s guaranteed that he is on the verge of playing I will play him but not captain for Huddersfield.
                With Periera first on my bench as backup.

                If he’s out longer then he’s gone for Sterling.

                Keep him and captain him. If he's fit enough to play he'll likely start the game. If not, then be prepared for backup on the bench. Selling is not an option as it would waste precious transfers.

                2 free transfers and your team looks pretty decent. With the 3.3 ITB I'd wait on Salah news, and maybe move to him if he's fit. If not, There's tonnes of options to replace Jimenez in the budget forward category at the moment. Murray, Arnautovic etc. But with that team, I'd definitely be saving 1 of the transfers this week.

                They will park the bus and Kun will probably get 59 min. Sterling looks like a good acquisition.

                I reckon given he had an extra days rest he was going to start instead of Salah even before the injury.

                  You could be right given that his recent form is a lot better than Salahs.

                  Liverpool will also need to get a result against Red Star or their participation in the CL could be curtailed

              plan was considering was Kane and Hoij to Mane and Mitro. But I have become increasingly offput the whole Liverpool attack. Rotation, injuries, squad depth, point sharing, poor form, no captain choice of Salah injured, opponents not quite as bad as appears, etc

              What do I do if/when I decide against it. I can't see any player in that 4-3-3 is really be happy dropping for almost anyone.

              Why can't we bank transfers or sell them?

              A) doubling up on Taa and Gomez. (Instead of taa/robbo)Is that crazy? Could strengthen bench instead. And it is also very likely both will play together?
