    Is Gomez the best defender to own from Liverpool?

    He is first choice and can play at rb as well.

    With all the budget constraints now...maybe it is time to do Robertson -> Gomez?

    (Surely Robertson gets a 15 pointer today.)

        vvd

        Could be. You could be onto something

      • FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That’s why I have him

        7 years, 6 months ago

        great question, submit it. I’ve heard Az comment that Gomez is the on to go for.

        I’m also considering keeping Robertson but downgrading from Mendy to Laporte

      • diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Getting him for TAA most likely. TAA will be rotated.

    2. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years

      Salah(c), Shaqiri & TAA checking in.

      BUZZING

        Gotta love the positivity on this forum.

      4. FPL Pillars

        7 years, 6 months ago

        you should only be buzzing when they actually get you point man, otherwise you look like a muppet.

        1. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Nope I'm happy because it was fairly likely at least one would miss out.

          I'll enjoy my points today and you can carry on being a killjoy.

        2. The Left Duke #3
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Leave the man be excited ffs. I have TAA Robbo and Salah and am pumped too. Cmon

      5. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Salah(c) Shaq + robbo for me.
        Hope you only get 48points to my 55

        1. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I'll take that lol

    3. internal error

      Liverpool to claw back all of that +13 GD city have over them, in this game

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Surprised yet glad he isn't starting any of his blind spots. Wanted Keita but assume he'll come on at some point.

    4. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fulham goal+ Mané blank would be lovely 😉

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        +1

    5. Gunners for Lyfe
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      attacking lineup 4-0 written all over it. Firmino's day to shine

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        His teeth shine every day...

        Lol

    6. Bob.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Van Dijk better score today! He's been so close recently.

    7. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      As a TAA and Robertson owner and Salah Captainer, in very excited now after those line up announcements.

      And as a Pool fan for years, I think this is our best attacking team and delighted Klopp has picked it against a terrible Fulham DF

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fulham goal incoming

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Go blow a goat

      2. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I think Klopp wants to really let them loose after that midweek result. Hoping to see them do what they were doing last year and really attack like crazy.

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I agree Tiger. Fingers crossed and get at them from the off.

    8. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If I had the chance to active TC chip right now I would. That's the team most fans wanted, bar Keita.

      Today could be the day Liverpool run riot. 🙂

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Genuinely excited for today’s game - hopefully this does not mean dissapointment

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Why hasn't Keita been playing? Just dropped?

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          He had an injury and is just coming back to full fitness.

        2. The Left Duke #3
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Hasn't been playing well and I think Klopp will bring him and Fabinho along slowly like he did with Ox and Robbo last year

      3. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        And this could so easily be one of those jammy 1-0

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          It could happen but not likely

      4. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. Georgie boy is good though. This is the formation i want us to play. Keita's time soon

      5. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I reckon Keita will come on when Fulham are tired and can see the last 20 minutes being really fruitful for the attackers too.

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Lineup is out since 10 mins ago?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          You knew 10 mins ago and you kept it to yourself.......

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Sorry I was just being dumb - see below

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Blimey I didn't realise they were the actual lineups, thought the game kicked off at 12:30.

    9. King H

      Team news vs @FulhamFC.

    10. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      People putting the TC on Salah is brave... personally id be waiting for DGW's

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Casuals 😉

      2. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hard to predict returns for two games. I got burned last season Kane DGW. Shi+e rank also a factor !

      3. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Could work.

    12. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years

      No Milner, Salah on pens? Think Mawson will fix one

    13. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      We want 10 liverpool goals today..make it happen Shaq. Salah mane firmino hattrick vvd goal and Shaw house full assists.. everyone will be happy

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Shaq that was..Shaw can chip in to

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          get back in your pineapple

    14. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Blimey that’s an attacking Liverpool line up.

      Let’s go Salah(C) & Robbo

    15. Badluck Jonathan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Seri on the bench is ludicrous. If you don’t start your best players, you deserve everything that’s coming to you.

      Which in Jokanovic’s case is probably the sack.

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        He’s genuinely not been very good the last few games. Scared on the ball.

        Also has that weird thing where the cold really affects him.

    16. Manani
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kenedy or Paterson?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        P

    17. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mitro hatty incoming

      1. Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yep cos I dropped him!

      2. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Wake up

    18. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      TAA. The gift that keeps on giving. Love this kid

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Wait til after the game....seriously

    19. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Think this will be Pool's front 4 positioning:

      Mane - Shaqiri - Firmino
      Salah

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        why would salah, mane and firmino swap from their usual positions?

        1. Whats the Mata?
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Because earlier in the season Klopp went with this exact lineup.

          The game in which Shaq was subbed at ht having 2 assists I guess.

      2. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Firmino No. 10.

    20. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Managed to get Gomez, Robertson and TAA in my draft team this week, couldn't be happier with the line up

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        1 Mitro header is all it takes

        1. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          VVD will comfortably deal with Mitrovic

        2. Carlton_Goal
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          That's true, it would be typical FPL for Mitro to go and score today

    21. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Seems I'm the only one to remember the Liverpool that can shine against the likes of Man City yet struggle against the Burnley types...

      Bring me the shinycan'tstopscoring version today please 🙂

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        ITS FULHAMMMMMMMMMM

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          They need to get the finger out Nd at least put in a performance or their coach is a goner.

    22. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Woah im excited for this game. A ridiculous amount of coverage in this game! Plenty of Salah Mane (c) Robertson, TAA, VVD, Allison, Shaqiri, Firmino owners. A 4 or a 5 niller and anyone who doesnt own ANY liverpool assets are looking at a huge huge red arrow.

    23. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Imagine a Fulham win 1-0 with Mitro the goal scorer, the scenes on here would be ugly

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Everyone would be in the same boat.

      2. Big_Bear
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I would be buzzing!

    24. 1zverGGadeM
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Where is "one of the best in the world" players ?!?!
      !NOO@@@@OOO@@@@

        you know who I mean...

    25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      This is a pretty reasonable points expectation for today, right?

      TAA - CS, Goal, Assist, 2 Baps (15)
      Robbo - CS, Goal, Assist, 2 Baps (15)
      Salah - 4 goals, 1 assist, CS, 3 baps (29)

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        yeah couldnt agree more.

        1. Whats the Mata?
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          fulham 1-1 pool.

          robbo og and vvd header from a shaq corner.

      2. Carlton_Goal
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        You're being very conservative there

      3. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        No chance, Salah would still not get 3 bonus in that scenario.

    26. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Seroiously annoyed i was 0.2 short off getting bigshaq.Its a double figure haul nailed on for shaq i think

    27. ResultatFar
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Let’s go 2-2. Mitro and Mane two each with Robo assists

    28. Big_Bear
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I have one player in this game.... Mitrovic.

      How much does a sofa cost?

        1. Big_Bear
