FPL Daily: Liverpool win Carabao Cup as Jota and James return

We round up the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points of the day in FPL Daily.

LIVERPOOL WIN CARABAO CUP FINAL

In an entertaining clash at Wembley, Liverpool won a dramatic penalty shoot-out 11-10 after a goalless draw with Chelsea.

The headline news from an FPL perspective was the returns of Diogo Jota (£8.3m) and Reece James (£6.2m) from injury, who both appeared as second-half substitutes.

The latter is of particular interest in light of Chelsea’s potential double-header in Gameweek 28, which you can read more on here.

James is averaging 5.7 points per match this season, and a defensive double-up alongside Antonio Rudiger (£6.1m) is certainly appealing, given the lack of options further forward.

On the injury front, Hakim Ziyech (£7.3m) failed to make the squad for today’s match, along with Andreas Christensen (£4.6m) who has an issue with his achilles. Elsewhere, Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.6m) was forced off shortly before the hour mark with an injury, while Thiago (£5.3m) missed out for Liverpool after picking up a knock during the warm-up.

Chelsea XI: Mendy (Kepa 120), Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta (James 57), Kante, Kovacic (Jorginho 105), Alonso, Mount (Lukaku 74), Pulisic (Werner 74), Havertz

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Matip (Konate 90), van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson (Elliot 79), Keita (Milner 80), Salah, Diaz (Origi 97), Mane (Jota 80)

BIELSA SACKED

The FPL Round-up: 8

Marcelo Bielsa has been sacked by Leeds United after a poor run of form that saw his side suffer several heavy defeats.

The Whites have taken just one point from their last six matches (see below) to leave them outside the relegation zone by only two points. During that time, they have conceded a whopping 21 goals and slumped to a 4-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 27.

LEEDS UNITED’S LAST SIX MATCHES:
  • Leeds United 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur
  • Liverpool 6-0 Leeds United
  • Leeds United 2-4 Manchester United
  • Everton 3-0 Leeds United
  • Aston Villa 3-3 Leeds United
  • Leeds United 0-1 Newcastle United

At the time of writing, American coach Jesse Marsch is the bookies favourite to take over, with the club expected to announce their replacement as soon as Monday.

Notably, there is potential for their new manager to hit the ground running, given that they have an appealing run of forthcoming fixtures coming up, which includes a double-header against Leicester City and Aston Villa in Gameweek 28.

READ UP ON ALL OF THE WEEKEND’S FPL ACTION

West Ham’s defence, Antonio’s creativity, Jimenez benched: FPL notes

There is still one match to go in Gameweek 27, with Burnley taking on Leicester City on Tuesday, but you can read up on all of the FPL action so far via the links below.

Aston Villa, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Southampton, Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers all feature and double in Gameweek 28, with several differential options emerging over the weekend.

    Morning All,

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Sa Foster
    Targett Robertson TAA Cancelo Livra
    Salah Son Coutinho Saka Ramsey
    Jimi Dennis Broja

    will probably bench: Foster, Saka , Robertson and Ramsey for GW28

      I reckon only one of the LFC fullbacks, maybe a Chelsea defender?
      Also think Coutinho and Ramsey is too much Villa.
      Then the forwards - Dennis to fodder - Jimi to Kane/Vardy?

      I can tell you from first hand experience to avoid Coutinho, Ramsey and Digne at most.

      If we were brave enough we would have Robbo over TAA and get Rudiger.

      I dont see any points from that front line do you?

          Both Leeds and Watford to get draws: you said Both so -0pts
          Burnley to concede in Both games: giving you 0.5 pts for now, as they've not played the 2nd game. It will either mean you finish with 2/4 or 1/4. Not great tbf

          You dont really need to make any changes, but could maybe do Digne - Thiago Silva / James (I really don't rate Villa's defence still), or Robbo & Raph - 2 Chelsea? But with your team its really a lot of shuffling doublers for other doublers. Wouldnt sell Tierney personally

    Doing a little research on Coutinho & I've really got my doubts now...
    He was excellent against Leeds last time out, but I'm watching the Brighton game now, not really keen on this new shape with Ings/Watkins & Coutinho behind, and I think its fair to say the scoreline was very, very flattering to Villa. Also, stats wise in last 3 matches, we're looking at xG 0.38, xA 0.07, 6 penalty area touches & an uninspiring heatmap with touches concentrated in the middle third

        Maybe if you really need a forward. Ings was rubbish. Watkins took his goal nicely at least. He's kind of on a par with Jimenez imo - not really that exciting as a pick but could do a job for you short-term

        Salah Foden Gallagher JWP Bowen

        I want to bring in some Villa, Sou & Chelsea players in ahead of GW28 doubles. Potentially Sa for Pope so I have 2 back to back double GW Gks for 28/29.

      Almost every time, you will actually bench boost single gameweekers (as you would want to start your doublers). But if you wanna do the old school wildcard + bench boost, then from what I hear yes 36 will be the biggest. But rotation will be rife.

          Yeah, I agreed. I think I will bench boost in 29, since both my gks double then. It will be Sanchez (LIV, TOT), Bowen (AVL) Ramsey (whu) Emerson (mun, bha - I might sell if he doesn't start next). It's not sexy, but I'm expecting around 15 points and then I can trim my bench to where it should be.

      Cancelo is a 100% stick. Trent is an amazing pick, but so expensive now that it *might* be worth getting James and upgrading elsewhere. Depends if you really fancy players like Son to outscore players like Bowen, Raphinha and Coutinho.

          It's enough to wildcard. Just to get Ron out of the team and redistribute the funds, would be worth a lot .

          But it also depends on your chip strategy throughout.

          Maybe, if u still have bench boost, you can set up a wildcard that has two gks that double in 29 and at least one that plays in 30. So u can use that chip in 29, which is also a double (And Chelsea has a great fixture).
