    Planning to do Sterling > Mane with one of my FTs but need to raise 0.2m. Best option?

    Pope — Heaton
    Taa Lundy Tomori — Rico lascelles
    Mane Kdb Martial Mount — Cantwell
    Tammy Vardy Rashford

    A: Martial + Rashford >> Son / Ings (-4)
    B: Mount + Rashford >> Pulisic /Jimmy(-4)
    C: Lascelles >> Taylor
    D: Lascelles + Rashford >> Chilwell + Jimenez (-4)
    E: Keep sterling and instead do Mount + Rashford >> Son / Ings

      I probably will captain Vardy and Kane for the next 4 weeks, and Salah has no fixtures on the 5th anyway.

    Just noticed Batshuayi has managed 3 attacking returns in the 81 minutes he's played this season. Might get a few plum fixtures to impress Lampard.

    I recon I'll be tempted of Tammy is ruled out for a couple weeks. Probably just 1 or 2 games tho.

      I have 2 FTs and was considering bringing him in for KDB or Martial but started to think it's too risky with him being involved the whole game tonight. I think he is very likely to be benched in either of the next two.

    Not a pulisic owner, but very well may be for weekend.
    My reasoning:
    CHO is nursing an injury and Pedro is nowhere near other players levels, and honestly can't see Lampard having to play Kante Jorginho and Kovacic. Mount may very well start, but on the same level as pulisic's chances i'd say if not more likely.

      B out of those, sneakily scoring points consistently enough

      Ward was supposed to have a scan on Monday, should get some info in Hodgson's press conference. CB seems unlikely now that everyone is fit so he is likely to play only if Ward is injured.

    No one seems to ever mention how anonymous Mane was tonight.. It all seems to be down to whether Salah was poor or not..

      Why does the attacker always have to be poor? I thought Napoli defended brilliantly. Best I've seen a team defend against Liverpool in a long time.

          Cheers mate, time to be bold for me, slipped over 500k places last GW! Or perhaps it's the time to be safe but what is safe in FPL these days!

      A definitely not, Tomori could easily match or even outscore Robbo this GW. B only if you'll captain Son.

      very good...double Spurs seems a litle bit punty at this early stage though but apart from City not too much can hurt you...GL

      Quite good although I'm not real flash on Kane and would prefer TAA to Robbo. Personally I would go with Jimenez over Kane and look to invest those funds although so many value options you might not be able to spend it all. A little ITB doesn't hurt.

        Any reason why you're not keen on Kane? He's spending more time in the box now and have good fixtures

          Don't like him as a player tbh and think there is value elsewhere particularly if you are going with Son, reckon that's enough Spurs attack.
