How Liverpool’s key FPL assets compare ahead of 2019/20

With a week to go before Gameweek 1, five of the eight most-owned Fantasy Premier League assets are on Liverpool’s books.

The Reds’ players were a rich source of FPL points last season and there is optimism that they can replicate that in 2019/20, although we have had to swallow price rises with a number of their key Fantasy assets.

FPL managers will be especially keen on Liverpool in the first two months of the upcoming season, with the Reds sitting second on our Season Ticker in Gameweeks 1 to 8.

Can the Reds match their performance levels of 2018/19, though?

In our latest Numbers Game series, we assess Liverpool’s key underlying statistics from last season and highlight the numbers that matter to Fantasy bosses.

      Which is the better option?

      A. Ederson + Maguire + Vardy + Lundstram
      B. Henderson + Taylor + Kane + Diop

      Will perma bench Lundstram in A, while Taylor & Diop will rotate for one spot in B

      1. Unliklinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I've tried cheap rotations before - can't say they've ever worked for me. Also A has two desirable players, B only one, so A I guess

    4. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      What is the best way into City's def?
      Ederson
      Zinchenko
      Something else?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Nailed: Ederson and Laporte. Also Walker altho they might get another RB this week.
        Overlooked: Stones
        Great but could be rotated in time: Zinky

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Just Ederson

                        Lingard to win young player of the year this season?

                • 4 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Is anyone on Pulisic? my heart says barkely is gonna do well.
                But after pulisic scoring 2 goals the other day. might be a good punt?

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  I am. Just make sure the bench can cover if he's rotated.

                  1. pingissimus
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    I'm wondering how relevant bench really is with these budgets. Any bench option from the minimal bracket is looking like a 2/3 pointer - hardly a killer either way. Only if a 4.0 hits cs or Dendoncker scores one of his irregulars are you getting back what you hoped to achieve.

                    If Barkley Pulisic don't start week 1 then surely they become automatic transfers week 2 unless circs change.

          2. JohnBlack
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Which one sounds better?

            442 with Zinchenko (Dendoncker) or
            352 with Ceballos (4.5m def)

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              352

              how much is ceballos? (or who is he?!?)

              1. JohnBlack
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                5.5m Arsenal mid

            2. Netley Lucas
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I don't think people understand Mendy's recovery timeline at all so A

              1. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                agree

              2. Bad Kompany
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                When are you expecting him to be back? From what I’ve heard the earliest he could be back is gw 5 and he’d then need a couple of weeks to gain fitness and sharpness so the earliest I could see him starting is gw 9

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  That's why NL is opting for the one with Zinks.

          3. b91jh
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Anyone thinking Yerry Mina as differential?

            Great goal threat, more nailed this season.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              But less nailed than Coleman and Keane - same price, aren't they?

            2. Netley Lucas
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              But this is the descending value argument, Digne, Coleman, Mina & Keane isn't it? Coleman is 5.5 and I saw him lay a ball off and run into the area and score, week ago, he's where you start.

              1. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Is it? I'm just going by the 'who's the manager more likely to pick and who's less likely to go to jail' logic.

                1. Netley Lucas
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Quite like Mina tbh but he's 3rd 😆

            3. Slaps
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              No need really, Coleman is the better pick imo

            4. Another Hoops
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              A good way into the Everton defence if he plays pal

            Bournemouth fans out here?

            Who you think will start at LB? Kelly or Rico? 50-50?

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Why not ask everyone? You do know Chaz Daniels is back? 😆

              1. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Those posts that start 'XXXXX fans' implying that everyone else can f*** off f*** me off.

                1. Netley Lucas
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Not just that, fans are biased, we are not. 😆

                        You won't. These are the posters that get so pwned they never show their faces again.

                  Relax man. Started with those words because I assume they have followed BOU’s preseason more closely than the others - I know I havent.

                  Didnt mean nobody else could give their two cents

                  1. Unliklinho

                    • 10 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Somebody else just said King has featured in preseason - all the info is on the preseason page.

                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Are there any people on these forums who have genuine contacts in the Premier League? I have a contact at Southampton who can get me some info if you need it?

                  1. Andy_Social
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Just get him to post starting lineups 10 minutes before the deadlines, like AnfieldExpress 😉

            2. Slaps
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I would guess at Kelly, but only 60-40.

              1. Slaps
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                But that said I'm not a Bournemouth fan.

              2. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                I must have come across a dozen threads yesterday where it was obvious the poster doesn't know his Bou Kelly from his Palace Kelly!

                1. Netley Lucas
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  We all hope for a 4m, Daniels returns and the awful truth kicks-in. We knew in our hearts it was always the way... sigh

                2. Slaps
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  I wouldn't go with either tbf

                3. pingissimus
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  A Bournemouth Kelly must be a really really desperate choice but a Palace Wilson would be genius.

                  1. Pieterke30
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Interested in a BOU def at 4.5, for a rotation. And considering the options. Adam Smith probably the best bet.

            3. Another Hoops
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Can Smith also play left back?

              1. Netley Lucas
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Indeed, more of a LWB tbh but Daniels is back and we know who Howe loves.

                1. Bad Kompany
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  What 4.0 defender would you say had the best chance of playing? Would be third on bench so wouldn’t be relying on him.

                  1. Another Hoops
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    I'm on Lundstram mate but yh I think they have to 3rd sub because you cant trust them to play.

                    1. Bad Kompany
                      • 6 Years
                      4 years, 8 months ago

                      Cheers! I am leaning toward him although none seem likely to play most games

          5. Another Hoops
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            A or B guys?

            A) Salah & Delefeou
            B) de Bruyne & Firmino

            Plan is to captain Sterling either way but currently on:

            Ryan
            Digne - Robbo - Trent - Zinchenko
            Fraser - ***** - Perez - Sterling
            ***** - Wilson

            Button - Greenwood - Donkey - Lundstram

            1. Slaps
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              A because you'd struggle for a captain in the first couple of weeks otherwise

              1. Another Hoops
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                I agree but I'm capping sterling with or without Salah pal.

                1. Slaps
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  KDB, Zinc and Sterling captain in the first two weeks. I know City are good but for me it's a bit OTT

                  1. Another Hoops
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    I get what your saying man and it looks like A might be the way to go but triple City and triple Liverpool is what I'm thinking.

                    1. Andy_Social
                      • 11 Years

                      I like A if it's not Deulo, but I find I can get triple City/triple Liverpool and a well-balanced squad easily

                        • 6 Years
                        4 years, 8 months ago

                        Why no love for deulo?

                          4 years, 8 months ago

                          A closer look at his record shows that last year half his goals came against Cardiff and Huddersfield.

                            4 years, 8 months ago

                            So he does well against the worst teams. Plays two of them in his first four

          6. Bad Kompany

            When will Willian be ready to start?

            1. Another Hoops
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              For Chelsea I would suggest maybe holding out for the first few weeks and then transfer/ wildcard in the best options. Personally I'm hoping to own CHO.

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Not going to start with Willian. Am wondering from more than just a fpl perspective

                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Personally I think he should be first choice and always been a little unlucky to have to share pitch time with Pedro because of Hazard owning the left wing spot.

                  1. Andy_Social
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    He's one of those players who looks great in highlights reels, but when you look at his actual goals and assists record, you don't go there.

              Dunno, so don't buy. Easy eh? 😆

                Look above. Interested more in how he affects Chelsea. Also want to know who is on set pieces

                  So? He's on pens and buy him if you want when he's back.

            Morning Dzzers

            I'm getting very excited. Only a day or so to go and the transfer window will open for Palace incoming transfers. Yippee.

                Oh we're going down in the year our spanking new stand will be built - it is written.

                Secretly I prefer relegation scrap years. 😉 That makes me happy and a natural Palace supporter of course. I once worked out that since 76 (when I first started) Palace have been in a fight at one end of the table in approximately two thirds of the seasons

                1. Another Hoops
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  My friend who is a QPR fan once told me that being a United fan is great. (At the time?) winning Leagues and FA Cups etc but you'll never experience the feelings of a relegation fight or the joy/ heartache of the play offs.

                  I think he had a point tbf.

                  1. Andy_Social
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    They're getting good at enjoying the heartache of missing out on Champions League, to be fair.

                  2. pingissimus
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Think so

                    The play offs - especially nowadays - are way bigger for a club and town than any cup final. I'm also still a slight high from the Pulis miracle and regard any PL season as an unexpected bonus

                    1. Another Hoops
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 8 months ago

                      Personally I see Palace struggling but not going down.

                      Always loved the atmosphere of Selhurst Park and once you get Tomkins and Sakho back you'll be alright. Scoring goals may be the issue but Townsend will do decent IMO.

                      1. Andy_Social
                        • 11 Years
                        4 years, 8 months ago

                        I'm tipping them for 16th/17th. Brighton and Newcastle to finish below them. Wouldn't touch any of their players though except Wickham for end-of-bench duty.

                      2. pingissimus
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 8 months ago

                        Think we're safe (but struggling) so long as we have Roy - that's one year. We're getting very close to the 8 year mark beyond which no one much goes.

                        Next season we lose Roy and almost certainly Zaha and our paper thin squad is also a very old squad that a new manager will have to replace with bugger all with the money going into the stand.

                        It was a blast while it lasted

                          You seem to have no strategy for moving forward, unlike say Bournemouth and Southampton. I suspect your perceptions are bang on.

            4 years, 8 months ago

            What are the rules for a player gaining value? Do they need to have a certain number of new transfers or is it net transfers (transfers in minus transfers out) or is it to do with a percentage of the ownership?

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              It's the increase in percentage. So Salah needs more new owners that someone 1% owned.

              1. jojon440
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Thanks. So what increase do they need to gain 0.1 in value? Or do we not know? Couldn't find anything on the FPL website.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  It depends on their ownership, but the exact formula is a mystery outside FPL Towers. There are websites that try to predict exactly who's price is changing but they are never completely accurate.

                  1. jojon440
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Someone must know or must have worked it out by now? Maybe I'll make that my project this season... surely there is some sort of formula and it's not completely random?

                    1. Chandler Bing
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 8 months ago

                      It is completely random at the start of the season but the websites that Andy mentioned get pretty accurate after 3-4 GWs as they work out the algorithm by then.

              Lot of money in D. Naughty naughty.
              Your front 8 look woefully undercooked as a consequence.
              I'd get Vardy and Jimmy in there after removing some of those expensive ds.
              Barclay is a big time troll so don't expect much from him.

            2. Another Hoops

              Looks good to kick off gw1 pal.

            3. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I don't see points in Ryan and Ake - nice fixtures but awful defences.
              Bench is too weak if more than just Barkley is rotated.

              1. Another Hoops
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                I like the Ryan choice. I dont see him getting many points but set and forget.

                Ake is the best of a bad bunch. Him or Tarks for me in the 5mil bracket. Holebas too but plays well one game and randomly dropped the next scares me.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Zouma should start. 5m at Chelsea should have a better chance of cleanies.

                  1. Another Hoops
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    First 2 I'd go elsewhere and then look at Chelsea from gw3.

                    Not a great Gw1 fixtures and then I believe they play Liverpool before coming home for a difficult Leicester game.

                2. pingissimus
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Agreed on Holebas - I really wanted him but Watford defence feels a bit like City midfield if you look past the small matter of football ability 🙂

                  Don't get Ryan choice at all. Feels the least good 4.5 out there and Brighton are likely to be very leaky. I'd prefer any other 4.5 and take a chance with a hit if need be.

            4. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Dicey every other week when Liverpool play away and you only have one cs option out of 6 🙂

          10. SpaceCadet
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Is king still a viable option considering he hasn't featured in pre season yet?

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I think Bou put out a strong side in a friendly today.

            2. Jafalad
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              He is but Wilson outperformed him last year. I stuck with King but I wish I had bought Wilson. On saying that, King has said that he expects/wants to score more goals this year.

              1. SpaceCadet
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Yup, also said hes on penalties. Plus a cheaper option that Wilson. His lack of game time in pre season the only concern for me.

                1. Kiwivillan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  He was on penalties last season. 5 scored vs Wilson 1

              2. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                What striker says they don't?! I'm on King purely as a short-term measure and because I can't afford Wilson.

            3. Unliklinho
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              He's had 120 minutes. Expect he will play today too, since last night looked like second team.

              1. SpaceCadet
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                • 5 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Definitely not fully 2nd team. Eddie still mixing it up.

                Fraser played 90 as did Ibe who might fill Brooks spot. Solanke, who is a threat to King played 90 and scored.
                Daniels started and Travers/Begovic shared GK spot.

            4. jojon440
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Deulofeu will outscore King this season if they play the same number of minutes in my opinion.

              Last season:

              King: Minutes played: 2963 Points: 141

              Deulofeu: Minutes played: 2064 Points: 133

              8 points less but literally played 10 full games less.

                • 10 Years

                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Not too keen given the initial fixtures. Plan to do king > jota after a few gws

              2. Cok3y5murf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Good thing you don't have to keep them the whole season then.

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                I agree that King will score less but where the discount on Deulofeu points. He won't get extra goal and CS points

          11. JT11fc
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Almost there i think....

            Heaton
            Trent Digne KWP Walker
            Salah Sterling Perez Barkley March
            Kane

            Button Emerson Wickham Greenwood

            Abit unsure of Heaton and March,
            Emerson could rotate with KWPs or could downgrade and upgrade March

            1. jojon440
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Thought about Pope and Heaton rotating? There home/away fixtures rotate nicely and both 4.5m.

            2. Another Hoops
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              March is risky but if you have a gut feeling about him why not. Has he done anything preseason?

            3. Jafalad
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Too many big hitters leaving you exposed in midpark and attack.
              Heaton - I'd get Pope ahead of Heaton. I just see more cs from BUR than Villa.

              1. Kiwivillan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                We conceded 8 last 12 league games and you could argue we've upgraded GK LB and DM

            4. SpaceCadet
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Looks good. Not keen on any Bou attack?

            5. King Kohli
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Has March been getting minutes in preseason?

              Decent player who could be good value at 5m if he's assured to start.

            6. Ekip
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              KWP likely to be behind Foyth and Aurier by GW3
              Emerson rotating with Alonso?
              Barkley rotating with Mount?
              Could be 9 starters including March or even 8 if City get that new RB

          12. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Best way to shave off 0.5 from this team?

            Sterling KDB Perez Trossard Dendoncker
            Kane Wilson Greenwood

            A. Trossard > 5.5 (no clear options)
            B. Wilson > 4.5, Dendoncker > Fraser
            C. Any other suggestions

            1. Jafalad

              Kane ->Vardy.

            2. Andy_Social

              4 years, 8 months ago

              Is the draft 100.5 or are you trying to dump your 4m albatross?

              Trossard is a punt you could lose, or Wilson > King. Even better, Kane > Vardy!

              1. Jafalad
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                4 years, 8 months ago

                It's 100.5 because I've been trying to fit in Kane instead of Vardy.

                I could get Vardy + Fraser instead of Kane + Trossard but not sure on doubling up on Bou & Lei attack.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Forget 'coverage' rubbish. If you think double Lei and Bou give you the best team, do that. Can always 2FT the Bou pair out for GW3 if they let you down.

            3. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Robbo to VVD looks the most natural route.

              From week 2 though Haller could very easily be where to go from Wilson. WH are set up to score (and leak) goals and Haller is the focal point and likely on pens. I'd be inclined to chance it as Wilson and Bournemouth are highly unpredictable - you're nit exactly giving up a sure thing.

              1. King Kohli
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Already have VVD.
                I've considered Haller and might just start with him instead of Wilson.

                1. pingissimus
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Whoops didn't look carefully enough.

                  Think Haller is a decent shout as you're only really ruling out Wilson and Rashford from that price bracket. You've got Jim and Chelsea to move to if it doesn't work

            4. Chandler Bing
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              B looks like the right choice but then you don't have any points on the bench which is risky.

              In terms of A, I think you should look at Robinson. Playing upfront for Sheffield.

              1. King Kohli
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Had him in my original draft as SHU have good fixtures to start off.
                However with the arrival of their new striker I'm not so sure he's nailed on.

                  Can’t have them all pal. Personally I think Wilson & Vardy are the way forward!

                      It’s all about personal preference. No one on here has a crystal ball but the advice I have seen is spot on and I learn a lot from what people post!

            Hmm, preseason, new team every week. Wonder when i just doing the team last week before start.

            Question:
            Would you go more balanced forwards or with big hitter:

            a) Wilson, Deulofeu, Adams
            b) Firmino, Deulofeu, 4.5 fodder

            1. Yoshimiwinz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Is Firmino the big hitter? He’s going to lose minutes to Origi.

            Anyone know why on the mobile version of the fpl site its not showing injured or warning notifications on players once they are in my team. For example, its not showing yellow 75% chance of playing for Pope & i had Woodman gk in my team with no red warning sign saying hes gone on loan to Swansea.

            Thanks

              Doesnt show it on pitch view, but shows it on list view. Anyone else got the same issue ?

              Wasnt he linked to Roma too? Hes my choice if I go the 6.5 forward route but might just go Wood instead.

          16. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            In a 3ATB is it best to split your def between 4 teams?
            ie. Ederson, TAA, Digne and AWB/KWP/Emerson

            1. OPTA FPL
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Nope just get 3 players you think will score most points at the end

            2. Cok3y5murf
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              No

            3. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              If the best 3 defenders are all at Liverpool and they keep over 50% clean sheets, where's the problem?

            4. Yoshimiwinz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Best to go 4 ATB. More points per million = better value

          17. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Choose 1:

            1) Fraser (Have Wilson)
            2) Moura (Have Kane)

            1. HNI
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              def 1

            2. Yoshimiwinz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              1) Due to fixtures

            3. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              moura isn't a long term option, esp when son returns

          18. Yoshimiwinz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Toying with a Non-Template team:

            DDG
            AWB//Coleman//VVD//Zinchenko
            Salah//Perez//Bilva
            Rashford//Wilson//Kane

            Button//Lundstram//DLuiz//Dendonker

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              The non-template factor is the ManYoo love. If you're confident in your 3 assets there, you've got an excellent team.

              Others will slag you for those assets, others will ask why Luiz is on the bench. I can see it's just for GW1 and you have insurance if Zinky is dropped. But it does mean you have to bench a minimum 5.5 asset every week, which seems a bit of a waste. I'd spread the love a bit and get a 4.5 def and 5m mid for backup.

              1. King Kohli
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                He's got 4.5 mid Douglas Luiz, not David.

                  Aaaahhhhh, that changes the picture! Weak bench!

            2. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Not bad at all imo. Really rather like it.

              The one hole is double United defence. You're going with AWB for attacking returns right? I'd love to see them but he has so little track record in producing them that I'd hold off. Or if you want AWB go Lloris in goal and that would give cover for 4 of the likely top cs teams. (Everton are just a punt in that respect)

              1. pingissimus
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Oh hadn't seen Luiz on bench. Nice. If this is budget you've done brilliantly

          19. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years

            Any chance Mane plays gw1 if so do you save 1m and go Salah to him?

                4 years, 8 months ago

                Klopp said he's not back until Monday. They play on Friday. So the chances are small.

            2. ZeBestee
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Won't start imo, but would probably get some minutes off the bench. They have Super Cup next so I expect him to play a bigger part in that game.

            3. Party time
                4 years, 8 months ago

                He will play, I strongly believe. It is the first game of the season but why not just go with Mohamed incase Mané comes off the pitch early.

                1. Gabbiadini
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  I need to find 1m to make my team work there's a few options as to how I work it and this is one of them

                  1. Andy_Social
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    If you have a brilliant 12th man you could always bench Mane for GW1. I'm pretty sure you don't though.

                  Oh dear Amey failed again 😉

                  Though in truth I wouldn't want Grealish (looks over shoulder for Kiwi) or Trossard early so Vardy Siggy it is

                              Yes, if it is Jonny, Doherty & Dendoncker 🙂

                              1. Andy_Social

                                4 years, 8 months ago

                                Actually, that would be pretty cool. But I really have the for-real front 3.

                                1. Party time
                                    4 years, 8 months ago

                                    Honestly, I might join you on that Jet... The value in that attack is too good for me to ignore.

                                    1. Andy_Social
                                      • 11 Years
                                      4 years, 8 months ago

                                      If you're serious, the idea is start Jimi/Jota with Cutrone 1st sub. Can't rest both the big 2, so if either gets a post-EL breather, Cutrone steps in.

                                      1. Party time

                                          I would hold on with Cutrone for now. If he becomes nailed, then it is a triple attack for me as well.

                                            Isn't he the only option as a third striker? Can't see Gibbs-White starting up top myself.

                                            + I don't know much about Cutrone, I've got to watch him play, then decide 🙂

                                              Well Jimi took a knock on Thu so hopefully he sits out next Thu in Armenia and Cutrone 'cuts' his teeth. And Jimi is back for Sunday!

                            Any help or suggestions here please? Hoping KDB and BSilva cover Sterling and I get Kane as a result.

                              Decent that. I like it.

                              I'd be nervous of Pep roulette.

                            If Zaha stays at Palace does this limit the chances of Meyer starting do we think?

                                It depends

                              • Netley Lucas
                                • 8 Years
                                4 years, 8 months ago

                                Of course it does.

                              • Amey
                                • 5 Years
                                4 years, 8 months ago

                                Somewhat.
                                Mayer playing in LM & SchlOOP playing in LW in absence of Zaha.
                                So when Zaha comes back Schlup will play in LM or at least compete with Mayer (imo)

                              • King Kohli
                                • 11 Years
                                4 years, 8 months ago

                                It definitely has an impact

                              • pingissimus
                                • 5 Years
                                4 years, 8 months ago

                                Yes.

                                It also probably depends on a bit who Palace are playing what game time Meyer gets.

                                Something else to watch for is that there's a reasonable chance Mili will be off. That's more likely in my view than Zaha going. He's in his final contract year and apparently doesn't want to renew. Meyer for Mili is far from like for like but he would then be a first choice.

                              In the end my key decision that I need to just make and stop trying to pretend I can have both is:
                              A) No Ederson (raise 1.5m, play 4.5mGK)
                              B) No Kane (raise 3m, play Wilson)

                                if you have a city defender then I'd go with A

                                A

                              6 days to the start of the new season, at last the wait is coming to an end. 1 month of discussing drafts was too much.

                                  I think you could get KDB in there without too much sacrifice. 4.5m on Ryan seems like a wasted 0.5 since you have ederson

                                    KDB instead of Sterling?

                                      No I meant for example raise 1.5m from your defense and upgrade Sig for KDB. Just a thought as I think he will be gold this season. I think Sterling + KDB in Mid is a winner... who knows though eh?
