      Speaking on Thursday, Rodgers said: “He (Iversen) will start the next game. It was really good for Wardy to go away. He had a couple of good results with the national team. He’s played, so that will help his confidence after a difficult period, but Daniel will start the next game.”

    Was all planning for bb, but the flags have thrown so much doubt on their efficiency. Now thinking to delay bb to gw34. Currently on 7 dgw players, as rash is flagged and greenwood bench fodder. Any advice pls?

    Squad:
    Kepa, trippier, Gabriel, shaw, estupinan
    Maddison, rashford, martinelli, salah
    Haaland, Toney
    (Raya, ake, almiron, greenwood

    Plan until injuries was to switch almiron to a Brighton mid. Have 0.5itb and 2ft and all my chips.

        More and more I think about it, if haaland only plays part or is not fully fit, I will risk bb on another gw. In my head I would like a fully playing bench to use it now.1/2 out of 4 could be a waste this gw, especially if only playing once.

    Morning everyone.

    3 questions for you all this morning. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated please. All questions refer to this game week in isolation.

    1). Salah owners - are you keeping faith with him this week or are you transferring him out?

    2). Bowen or Maddison in our midfields?

    3).Ings or Solanke as cheap 3rd strikers.

      Good luck. I’ve not taken any hits and seems like I’m still getting a red arrow with just XI dgw players

        Eleven DGW players is fine given there are decent SGW players like Saka, Kane etc

          Yeah happy with my SGW players, Gabriel, Martinelli, Saka and Kane. Just Gabriel I’m contemplating changing but now dire the -4 is worth it.

        At least 60% will be on rashers and either mitoma or march after that so it's surely worth a punt to make it interesting.
