            Amazing rank mate. I really don't fancy keeping a hold of DCL or Fernandes this week. Thinking of Wilson and Sonny. What do you think?

              Thanks, is the Newcastle game still going ahead? I think I prefer Bamford and 0.5 to Wilson.
              Can’t go wrong with Son ofc, I want him back this week.

                No news is good news I guess. Heard nothing official. So I presume it is. Already have Bamford. Other striker is Vardy.

          have you watched Grealish him play? He is at the centre of most villa goals, and has returned a lot so far this year. Confidence is high
          Puli - great history last year, done nothing yet..... Lets see him start and play 90 mins first. I can see him being benched and getting 30 mins for a few games.
          Mahrez - Been playing consistently, is playing really well, but (except for the hattie) where are the points? Normally, get him in and keep, riding out the blanks.... this year, lets see him return a few more times before going for him. Ask Az / listen to the fpl scoutcast first before jumping on him

      Mahrez = rotation risk
      Grealish = one of the best value midfielder regards points per £, in great form, great next three fixtures, and Villa have two games in hand meaning two double game weeks in the future.

      this tbh, been at the back of my mind the whole time I had him. Plus rotation ofc
      Feel like he has been on a high since joining Pool, working his socks off, its probably not over yet. But he will dry up at some point

      If I dont lose him this week, I lose him before Spurs. Just not worth the hassle, would prefer Raphihna who is nailed and far cheaper

    Klopp on risking key players tonight: "You can make changes but you need a few key positions. That's why Fabinho played and the decision for Mo, who looked fine and that's why we didn't take him off. He had no issues."

        That would suggest it's very likely that Jones will start against Fulham then and Liverpool will play three out of the four attackers?

        Which means a straightforward Salah vs Jota for the start against Fulham.

    Got Jesus in on a hit last week thinking he would get in on the scoring act against Fulham but he didn’t. I’ve brought in Salah already (taking out KDB) but now wondering whether to take another hit to get Jesus out for Ings and pretend it never happened.

    Is Ings a better option than him over Xmas period?

      I think it is damn mad to sell Grealish. Great form, great fixtures & most important 2x DGW's coming up.
      Wilson is a risk. We don't know who has been Covid-19 hit from the squad. He could be out for he next game.

        Yeah, I get that. But if their attacking fixtures are so good, it would naturally assume a bad day for their opponents defensively. Ticker doesn't reflect that.

          People have certainly asked for a tool that does that. It would be much more complicated to make, probably even more so than the RMT tool.

          Mostly people just use the ticker to decide which team to invest in from among comparable teams. E.g. should I buy a 4.5 defender from Brighton or Leeds or West Ham etc.?

    Given everyone seems to be in no agreement or centainty it looks to me like Jota has basically destroyed Salah as a captain option. Who wants to risk that. I mean, it's always always going to happen from time to time anyway (see bruno). But this degree of uncertainty, not just whether they will get significantly fewer minutes, looks kind of unacceptable for a 12.3

    Man, rookie mistake making a super early transfer for Jota in forgetting about midweek Europe games. And now here I am with Jota who probably will be coming off the bench against Fulham.

    Ziyech had to go but damn I could have shaped my team differently to make way for Bruno GW13.

        I was hoping he would play the next few but benched on the weekend, full 90 mid week in a nothing game makes me worried he could be the impact player off the bench again.

        play him every week, and he will come on for 30 mins once, and hopefully play the other 2.

    If I knew TAA for sure starts this weekend then I'd get him maybe, but if he desont that would be lame. He surely starts right depsite playing full tonight

      Don't know.

      Someone returning from injury might be judged as needing the minutes or they might be eased back in.

      Robbo feels safer right now. But if they were the same price at the start of the season most would have gone TAA.

    Guys the only times salah hasnt started this season is 3 matches. One was a carabao cup match against Lincoln. One was a champions league match against Midjtylland, and one was a league match because he had Covid. There is 0 zero reason to panic and assume Jota has any influence on Salahs starts.

      People have gone mad. The game isn’t even until Sunday! Based on everything Klopp has said it will be the Palace game where he rests people as it’s an early Saturday.

      Everyone would be better off just tuning out during mid week rather than putting themselves through all this useless theorising.

      He played 3 matches in. Week to secure first place CL qualification and a (expected to be) tough game against Wolves. Its good you don't have any doubt that Fulham is a risk in what then amounts to 5 matches in 15 days, culminating in Spurs. With Mane rested and Jota taken off on 70.

      I think it's fair to have concerns and foolish to assume that things will carry on as they did before Jota

      I'm not trying to scare Salah owners. My planned transfer is KdB to Salah and Salah to KdB.

        Klopps literal quotes. "Mo, I was in contact with him, he had no issues and that was the reason why we left him on the pitch and why he started." He'll start vs both Fulham and Spurs imo. Benched against Palace probably and thats a maybe too. And Jota was benched on the 87th minute not 70th.

      Man City were (reletively) rubbish, but they seem to have rediscovered their mojo and are on the up. KDB has 2 double digit hauls in the last 2 weeks, and looked superb - he should have scored 2 in each.
      Salah..... will be great but I can only have 1.

    If you own Salah, all good but if you captain him, you're risking him being restricted to 20 minutes when Kane will give you 90.

      He hasn't. I think it's fairly certain he'll make an initial selection with the Spurs game in mind, and transfer at half point or 60' depending if the FUL game is in the bag or not.
