    I see Wilson had scan and is minor hamstring injury. Should be fine next week.

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mitro is tempting though..

  2. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Brilliant start to the GW:
    TAA, Mane and Wilson all out... down to 10 players already.

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Lovely 😉

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Tbf we already knew about Mane.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Eh? You have 3 bench players to come in?

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Tell me about it. Had Mane, Kun, Robbo last gw.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Ouch

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mane will get a few minutes

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hopefully Wilson is fine for next week:

    "So, the big news from the Vitality..... #AFCB

    Callum Wilson misses out with a minor hamstring problem - hoping to be okay for next weekend.

    Lewis Cook won't feature again this season and will undergo knee surgery.

    Stanislas and Surman come in for the Cherries."

    Got Jiminez and Doherty off of my bench last week. Looks like I'll be hoping for more jammy points this week

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      they were wonderful jammy points though 🙂

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        That is very true 🙂

  5. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Salah hatty coming up 🙂

  6. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Patty off the bench.. Yeesssssssssssssss!

  7. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I wonder how many did ...
    Arnie to Wilson
    Robbo to TAA

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo to TAA, fools hahaha

    2. Sensible Scouter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I looked at Robbo to TAA. Pleased I didn't!

  8. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    The boss updates on @CallumWilson's absence...

    "Callum has a slight hamstring issue, which we don't think is too bad but he misses this week. It's a big blow but Junior comes in, who is a very good player and will give us a lot of quality."

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Think of it as a small rotation, just like the other big lads last week. He remains a season keeper

  9. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Got rid of Wilson one gw too early but feeling ok about it now. 🙂

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Camarasa & Fraser in for Wilson & TAA.

    Not too bad just gotta hope for no big benchings elsewhere!

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Decent.

  11. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What are the chances of TAA not featuring?

    He is due a rest

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      High but had been subbed in late (or early!) before.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        If pool are winning , and there is no injury, i think he won't come on. As he has been playing a lot .

    2. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Decent, doesn't usually come off the bench

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'd hope he stays on the bench but he does seem to be the kind of player the manager sticks on to kill time in the last 5 minutes.

  12. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Was there any hint of Wilsons injury beforehand? I don't remember seeing anything...

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      The level of shock on here suggests not.

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      10 minutes before deadline.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing apart from Redknapp mentioning it a few mins before the deadline.

    4. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Jamie Redknapp said it on soccer am

  13. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I take full responsibility for Wilson's injury. I posted something on here the other day about how Wilson is a godsend because he is virtually guaranteed 80-90 minutes every single week.

  14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Right. Where the phuck is Wilson.

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Home eating bacon sandwiches.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        mmmmmm.... bacon sandwiches....

        has to be ketchup though, not brown sauce

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Brown sauce if vile. We don't have such gross things in the USA

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Lol really ?¿?

          2. Robe Wan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You have cheese whizz

            1. mad_beer ✅
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              You say that like it's a bad thing.

          3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Totally agree, there is no place for Brown Sauce in this world, it is an abomination - hopefully it is made illegal soon

  15. mad_beer ✅
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Let's hope a big haul from Fraser due to TAA being out.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Tas out makes it worse for him

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        TAA*

    2. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      The worst case scenario would be a Fraser haul and then a TAA cameo keeping Fraser as 1st sub on my bench...

      1. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Same. Lets hope for the best.

  16. AC Yew
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    So after weeks of considering whether to play my wildcard chip finally went for it in what can only be described as a panicked frenzy. As a result I forgot to include Hazard on the team so will need to take a couple of hits to bring him in the next week or so. I also have no city players and was already planning a Salah- sterling transfer next week.
    Any wildcard fails?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Did Robbo > TAA to afford upgrades elsewhere. Too early to say whether it was a fail though.

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What do Salah owners do if he returns single digit today?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      What ... like 9 points ?

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      im probably going -4 next week to bring anderson and aguero

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Selling fir sterling even if it’s a hat trick

    4. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Transferring out regardless because i dont have any City players. Money will allow me to bring in both Sterling and Sané.

    5. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably what they do every week - stick their heads in the sand and say he's due a haul any day now.

  18. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    TAA possibly the worst transfer in on a wildcard.

    Why has he been benched the last 2 weeks?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      read klopp quotes

    2. Rsforstar
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      rested, Napoli and United in upcoming fixtures

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Klopp said he wants to protect him from burnout as he is still really young (people often forget that). Plus they have several players who can play RB - Milner and Fabinho in addition to the injured Clyne and Gomez.

  19. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Camarasa and Diop in for me.. Already nearly maxed out my bench(Awb) with one game gone. Jeez

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Good subs

  20. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Salah(C) check
    Robertson check
    Fraser check

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Same

  21. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fraser vs Fabinho hmmmmm

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Klopp confirmed it's Milner RB

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Even better then

      2. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Milner wont be able too Keep up with fraser. This fame will end 2-4.

        1. Woy_is_back
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          *game

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      klopp has confirmed milner is playing rb

    3. M'arvin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fabinho was a right back to begin with before converting to midfield.

  22. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Ideally Bournemouth score in the first 20 minutes.
    Klopp forced to bring on TAA.
    Liverpool lose 1-0.
    TAA gets a cleanie.
    The end.

  23. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know what's up with TAA?

    1. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Rested for Napoli and United

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        OK thanks

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably just rested

  24. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    damn, wanted to bench TAA but I changed to Sane last minute as I thought the latter has higher chance to be benched.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You benched Sane? lol

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You think you know what Pep is gonna do? And never bench Sane anyway. You're crazy.

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully TAA doesn't stop Sane lol

  25. Rashers
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone see the TAA benching as a positive going forward- that he has had his rest?

    Or is this the sign of things to come?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      its positive, he needs the rest he's only 19

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      me knew it will happen

    3. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Good sign

    4. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think we all just need to get used to rotation a lot more. Top managers like Guardiola and Klopp know that their high-intensity football will burn players out and they need to rotate to compete in multiple competitions. Just got to take these on the chin, I don't think it's cause for concern.

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    trent benched 2 gameweeks in a row.....

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Unfair to call last week benched considering he played nearly the whole game

      1. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I agree. Had he stayed on the bench he probably would have started today.

      2. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        But he was benched last week. This is factually correct.

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      actually he was due rest on wednesday but had to play 60 for gomez injury,and his rest is today

  27. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Cmon Salah, pls haul today, it would make a big difference for me in my ML.. and then I can finally sell you

  28. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Kane owners worried he may be benched?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

    2. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      For who?

    3. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not really

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kane owner, not worried. If it happens it happens. Confident he starts though.

      However any player can be benched so it's pointless worrying

    5. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If he didn't play at all it wouldn't be too bad but a 10-minute point of shame is the worst outcome.

    6. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      What?!

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    anyone brave enough to bring in rashford?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      If only Wilsons news came out 10 mins earlier...

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Thought about Rash or Lukaku for a 1 gw punt but bottled it... would've done if it wasnt for the arse fixture

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I was considering it but only scored 7 last season in the league last season. If he played all the time I would consider

  30. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A cheeky Camarasa pen too much to ask for?
