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.

          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?

      • 9 Years

      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.

        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

      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.

      We have a great team spirit, a nice mix of friendly personalities, a couple of really big guns like yourself [Dan and Hooky], three or four really good players and a nice mix of enthusiastic less experienced players who are improving all the time.

      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.

    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.

    Two thoughts..:

    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?

    B) robbo or Mendy ?

    Alonso/Doherty/Mendy in defence + thinking of getting Balbuena as part of a Salah move for my 2fts...
