Against Dan Burn….wouldn’t go there.
been seen in the latest training photos
Assuming he's fit to play, I'd be more inclined to punt on Saint-Max than Toney.
Cheers all, I have Toney, had him on my bench last few GWs as had other fires so I'll keep this week.
I'm thinking of keeping him for the foreseeable, tbh. Decent fixtures; plays in GW30; downgrading wouldn't free up cash or position; other transfer priorities.
Good plan, very nice fixtures, on pens, will be a dogfight etc
Oooh he's on pens, too. Yer good point 🙂
DDG
Cancelo - Digne - Coufal
Foden - Bruno - Bowen - Cornet
King - Dennis - Weghorst
Ramsdale - Salah - TAA - Tierney
Have the above team for this week. Plan to WC28 so any transfers will be for one week only.
Do you think B below is worth it given the risk of one of my defenders not playing and being left with only 2 playing defenders?
A) Salah > Son (free)
B) Salah & Tierney > Son & Mee (-4) - play Mee and bench Coufal or King
A
A but Coufal could miss this weekend. Keep an eye on updates as it might be worth losing him instead of Tierney
Best budget defender? I'm currently on Veltman. Pieters is tempting for the double, but could be a rotation risk...
If you can't go higher than 4.2m then Veltman over Pieters. Not sure Pieters is nailed when Taylor is available which could be this weekend
Best move for this team? 1FT 2.2m ITB
A) King >> Weghorst
B) King + Gray >> Weghorst + Raphina -4
C) Free Hit
Sanchez
Emerson • Cancelo • Dalot
Ramsey • Bowen • Gray
Kane • King • Dennis
Pickford / Saka / Tierney / Salah / TAA.
B

B
1) KDB + JWP
2) Mahrez + Sancho
3) Mahrez + Foden

Mahrez and Sancho.
I have a feeling Foden might be benched. I think he's the most likely out of Sterling, Mahrez, Foden to get a rest imo.

Sancho and Mahrez are very exciting duo for this gameweek.
Cheers all!
2 by miles
Pick one of each on fh
A. Mee
B. Roberts
1. Bednarek
2. Livramento

Why Bednarek?
A2 pending Perraud's covid situation.
King Dennis and Salah
To
Weg Broja and Bruno?
Reverse Bruno to MO next week
For a hit
Already have Son?
Yup
Gtg
I'm not a huge fan of the hokey cokey but if it saves you using a FH chip then yes
For -4 and if you have no other pressing transfer priorities in the next couple of weeks, then yer!
Cheers all!
Would you FH this?
DDG
Cancelo Livra Reguilon
Son Bowen Salah* ESR*
Antonio King Dennis
Subs: Ramsdale*, Jota* TAA* White*
Yes I would
I'm all for saving the FH this week if poss, but would FH that team in all honesty.
Reggie might not play which leaves you with 8 starters including double Watford attack which isn't ideal.
if not willing to remove ARS/LIV players then FH
I would.
How likely Ars vs Che will be added to GW28?
That game or Chelsea Norwich could be added to GW28.
Chelsea should double in 28 due to the number of free spots available vs number of fixtures to rearrange.
Is the Menace fit for today’s game vs Palace?
RH didn't not mention any new injuries
It will be delightful for Dennis Owners to feast tonight!
Delightful enough that he made it to a second game in plus figures
Struggling on what to do here. 1FT
Sa
Digne cancelo Ait nouri
Raphinha Bowen Ramsey Cornet
Kane King Broja
Foster Tierny Trent Salah
King > weghorst
And next week I’ll do corner > saka or Mahrez…
King > Weghorst sounds good
This is my differential FH team.
Pope
Mee/Cancelo/Varane
Sancho/Mahrez/Maddison/Son
Weghorst/Kane/Broja
Forster/Zaha/Cresswell/Livramento
You have covered the core template FH team here. Not that differential...
- What is Varane's ceiling? CS with little attacking threat?
- Has Maddison played well in recent games? Subbed 72 mins v WHU then 16 min cameo from the bench v Wolves
Differential? LOL
Anyone struggling to pick City forwards for a FH next week? Trying to pick one or two of the below:
A. KDB
B. Sterling
C. Foden
D. Mahrez
Nope - BD
Is the triple up with City a good idea, I don't think the Everton game will be a walk in the park at Goodison?
Curious to know why you think it will not be straightforward for City? I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise
Everton appear to be a lot better at home is the reason...It's still City though so I'll be getting 3 City and hating myself lol
Still not great...
https://footystats.org/clubs/everton-fc-144
You're right EVE better at home but City coming from a defeat and LIV surely wins tonight it's 3 pts behind. They have already their CL tie done and dusted they will full force no mercy mode at Goodison
Both Free Hits left. Changed plans last week and thought I'd be able to get away with saving FH but not so sure now. Biggest fear/threat is probably Kane and Son. Best option?
A) Antonio & Archer to Weghorst & Broja (-4) 11 playing if Coufal fit and everyone plays
B) Coufal, Antonio & Archer to Livra, Weghorst & Broja (-8) 11 playing hopefully
C) FH
DDG
Digne, Cancelo, Saiss, Coufal*
Bruno, Foden, Bowen
Antonio, Dennis, Archer*
Ramsdale* Salah*, TAA*, Saka*
Just play the FH
Cheers Tony!
More like Fat Ronnie
On FH
A) Cancelo, Broja
B) Laporte, Sancho
A
Since I am not too keen on Sancho, but like Laporte...I am torn.
Adams is also in form.
Yep, just trying to break the FH template somehow
Worth keeping in mind that 60-70% of managers won't be using FH (or something like that), so even if you're bang on the FH template you're still gaining an edge over most people. I'm on FH this week and I'm only aiming for whoever I think will score best, with no thought to being 'different' as an end in itself
That is exactly what I am doing. I see very little point in trying to differentiate with a player or two but if it makes it more fun or whatever for someone then they should definitely do it.
Any help would be much appreciated
A) FH
B) Salah + Watkons > Son + Weghorst (-4) (KDB > Salah next week)
Foster
Cancelo - Livra -
Bowen - Ramsey - KDB
Watkins - Dennis - King
Bench: Salah/TAA/Tobbo - White/Saka/Ramdale
1 FT & 0.0 ITB
2 x FH, 1 x WC intact
probably FH
How many DGW players will you have for DGW 28?
8
5-6
Maybe 10 or 11, plan is to FH, or WC then 7-8. Problem is I wanna get more players who has DGW29 so WC in that week also possible. Will decide when Gw30 games are known, and maybe more games announced, like DGW for Chelsea.
5
I think 6-7 enough
1 FT and 0 ITB. Need to get rid of Jota and have concerns about Lamptey and Edouard starting every game. Still have both FHs and WC
A - Use first FH
B - Jota & Dennis > JWP & Weghorst for -4 (and hope Edouard gets points)
C - Other suggestion?
DDG
Coady - Cancelo - Lamptey - Dier
KDB - Bowen
Edouard - Broja - Dennis
Bachman - Salah - Jota - TAA - Saka
Keep Dennis and ditch Edouard.
Dennis will play.
Ed and Jota out.
Thanks and agree makes sense.
JWP and Weghorst are the best two replacements?
Well, Kane or Son would be nice!
But I guess you cannot afford that.
I like your ideas.
are there any managers with only 1 FH left, that are using it this week?
And if so, what's the plans for GW30?
No FH27, WC28, BB29 (or 36) no FH30, Jesus take the wheel 31-32, FH33? WC28 should give me enough to field a viable team in 30, especially if the Saints-Burnley game slots in there.
It's not me, but I guess the plan would be to WC before GW30 or just navigate it with FT and hits
Yes. I played WC in 26 so I'm well set up for 30 with 3x Arsenal, 3x Wolves, 2x Villa and Raphinha.
I have only one left, but took -16 last week and will take -8 this week to save FH.
@AnfieldFootball is suggesting that Origi starts tonight. Be afraid.
Who sits out then?
Mane?
I would guess either him or Diaz, but Salah can't be ruled out.
So us Salah regular captainers can dream before getting our hopes crushed.
Hopefully 🙂
He is just back from injury and came on as a sub 62 mins in the last game. Not sure he will be ready to start a game v Leeds.
Anyone else totally forget that this is a DGW and there's a load of games tonight....
.....me neither.
Just seeing rumblings that Salah didn't travel. Goat mentioned it anyway.
Anyone have anything concrete?
DGW disaster
Twitter jokes, they're playing at Anfield, doesn't need to travel
Heh, yeah. But did see talk of no start. For the record I've yet to bring him back after selling in 22 or 23 or whenever.
No way Salah is rested. It is a too important match for Liverpool.
Seen a few mention the Origi starting rumour so it's definitely possible, although honestly he's been out for a fair while and had a lot of setbacks so I'm not so sure I'll believe that until I see it
My money is on you making this up after seeing my post above. 'Seeing rumblings' 🙄
Nay, no, never.
There is only one rumbling happening right now...
https://c.tenor.com/dI7-U-SZwToAAAAd/attack-on-titan-attack-on-titan-season4.gif
Oh boy... I watched the first season week by week as it released, but haven't had time since. I'm a subs guy, so need full attention for AoT.
Same, prefer subtitles as well, emotions are delivered in a better way. You should binge watch S2 and S3 quickly 😀
Games at Anfield...
Did someone say Rumbling?
TATAKAEEEE!!
😀
Doesn’t necessarily mean anything but I saw Ian Rush hanging round outside Elland Road a couple of years ago. Could be nothing though - Salah TC’ers shouldn’t panic.
On a FH, would you go:
KDB and Bowen
KDB and Cornet
Sterling and Mahrez?
Sterling and Mahrez
C
I know it is the "FH template" but for a reason, I guess.
c
I like KDB and Cornet for a differential FH
C
So is salah and robbo gonna start tonight?
Nobody on this site knows but I would be very surprised if they didn't.
They are
Robbo 100%
Salah 99.9%
its not like we can do anything about it, atleast Salah TC wont be a failure if he goes awol tonight
Robbo surely will. As a non-TC’er, I hope Salah won’t, but I think he’ll have to play with Jota and Bobby both out
Robbo was rested for this game.
On FH:
A) Livramento (Veltman, Tsimikas)
B) Bednarek (Amartey, Williams)
Cheers
Depends on Perraud's covid status
Cheers
B
I can field 11 this week by taking a -4, something along the lines of Saka > JWP & Eduoard/Maupay > Weghourst. Alternatively, something like Salah > Bruno? However, if I was to use a FH chip, I'd probably change all but 3 of the players I currently have..
DDG
Cancelo - Taa - Dalot - Nouri
Son - Bowen - Coutinho
Eduoard - Broja - Maupay
Ramsale - Saka - Salah - Robbo
I'm doing something very similar:
Saka --> JWP (and Bowen --> Saka next week)
Toney/Maupay/Dennis --> Weghorst (and then to Broja next week)
That actually sounds like a plan 🙂
Yeah sounds good.
Haha thanks - I'm like a broken clock... every so often, something will be right.
Got similar dilemma but leaning towards saving FH. However, I don't know when is the better time to use the 2FH chips 🙂
I guess one can be used in 30, and then another in 33 potentially if you want to maximise a blank/DGW?
I'll stick my head on the chopping board and say Salah, Trent and Robbo start tonight.
Will I then be a trusted ITK if this turns out to be true?
Brave calls
Nice
Just hoping Chelsea don't get a DGW in 28. Messes up my entire chip strategy.
Even if they do I wouldnt be bringing in many only maybe Rudiger, James wont play both games.
I think they will.
It'll be a massive headache for fixture schedulers if Chelsea don't double in 28
Geez, Antonio and Jota still haven't dropped. Hopefully my early transfer of them out for Kane and Brownhill doesn't come back to bite me.
2 years, 2 months agoAny Brentford fans, is Toney gonna be fit for this weekend, could be a nice differential?
