    Who out of this lot should I bench?
    a, ESR
    b. Muniz
    c. Doku
    d. Rogers

    I'm leaning toward Doku, I would transfer him out but I'm going to try and roll for a week or two if I can to sort out other issues.

      Can't really argue with that.

      Man, I thought I liked Rogers…

      Expectations are insane.

        I am pretty certain I will play Rogers tbh. I guess I probably should have asked, should I play double Fulham away to Ipswich or give Count Doku one last chance?

          Doku is probably the first id choose to play from that group.

            Fair enough, from what I've seen the first couple of games he has been pretty anonymous. Who would you bench out of the others?

              Rogers probably

                TBF, I just had a look at the XGI so far (for what its worth) Rogers is at the bottom. Its Muniz, Doku, ESR then Rogers. I may have to have a bit of a re-evaluation.

                  They played on the counter a lot against arsenal, but I think doku is more explosive. Rogers may grab you an assist..

    To those who are wildcarding this week - please omit Watkins from your squads.

    Thanks in advance.

      Recency bias

      Last year was his first that wasn’t a total disappointment.

        First? 13 goals and 4 assists in 24 games after Emery took over the season before.

          How did the first half of the season go for him?

          Fine 1 and 1/2.

            He was chit under Gerrard because Gerrard is chit. 17 GI in 24 games is elite level

              2 goals and 4 assists in 14 before that…

              He was one of the most underperforming xg players in league history up until that run.

                Because Gerrard is a diabolical manager

              I think you guys are closer to the bottom half than another top 4. Love to see the enthusiasm though!

                Hilarious

                  You really think the results are sustainable? Emery always has these honeymoon periods before he gets found out.

                  I love Onana for you, but Luiz was hugely influential also. Not sure that Bailey and Watkins are up to it

                    22/23 after Emery joins 4th in form table only signing Moreno

                    23/24 4th with long or season ending injuries to Kamara Torres Ramsey Mings Buendia

                      We all know the results have been great since Emery came, question is, is it sustainable over the long term?

                      I think no, but I understand the optimism

        We get it, you don’t like Watkins.

        Not everyone can be Tyrese Maxey 😎

      Since Emery took over Villa, I believe only Haaland and Salah have more Premier League goal involvements than Watkins. That’s a roughly 65 match sample size, closing in on nearly two full seasons worth of data. He might not be in form but, like him or not, he has produced.

    Who would you bench?

    1) ESR
    2) Rogers
    3) Muniz

      I am in a similar situation but my 4th midfielder is Doku, so makes it a bit easier for me. I'm thinking I'll play all three.

      If I were in your position, my thoughts are that Ipswich are a bit better than the first two games suggest and I think Rogers has been unlucky not to get a return, so maybe one of the Fulham players. Muniz hasn't looked great so far either in my opinion, so it is a tough one. What were you thinking?

      1. TochanMama
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 12 days ago

        Was thinking exactly in these lines!

        Team right now looks as such:
        Sanchez
        Gabriel - Konsa - Robinson
        Saka - Palmer - Jota - ESR - Rogers
        Haaland - Jackson
        (4.5GK - Muniz - Faes - Harwood)

    2. Fantasy Pig

      I think all three will return this week

    Barco to Rico worth a -4?

    Third def slot currently either Hall who’ll likely not start or Johnson from Ipswich.

    Thanks

      Less hits this season so definitely not for a defender. Even more definitely not for defender we have no idea whether will be on bench in a week or 2

      Which two to start out of Lewis/Konsa/Robinson/Greaves?

        I cat see the conclusion that TAA is a safe bet with Salah away at OT? The last 3 games at OT has been 2-2, 4-3 an 2-1 I favor United. 7-0 at Anfield, 4-0 at Anfield and 0-5 at OT was back in 24.09.2021.
        I bet thid game will be tight and i thin a draw is most likely outcome. 0-0 og 1-1. I hope United will win it and on the contrary liverpool have been lucky in their two first games that they dident face better teams. They look shaky at times.
