    Kun King Firmino
    Stek AWB Peltier Gunnarson

    Planned to save ft for Kun to Auba and Moura to Ramsey/Mkhi gw3. Or even better probably Shaw to Bellerin. My bench is very weak with Gunnarson injury now.

    Should I save or:
    A) Shaw to Mendy
    B) Foster to Ederson set and forget
    C) Improve bench, like Gunnarson to Neves and catch price increase

      I think it is only a matter of time before Shaw is dropped in favour of young. I could also be wrong and Shaw may do what Jones did for them last year. So if you think shaw is on borrowed time then may as well get mendy now. If not hold

        The problem with that comment is that W-B is an exceptional bargain that only occurs every now and then. If you took him out of the equation and compared PvA against like for like - Bellerin, Coleman, Maguire, etc he would still be a good prospect. I have both W-B and PvA and I accept that it limits my options as I also have Sorloth, but I went into it with my eyes open knowing that by GW8 I would be considering a WC and both Zaha and Benteke are fragile. Didn't expect them signing Ayew though, but Sorloth is 3rd sub so it doesn't hurt too much.

        Up to GW 8 PvA is in my opinion as good a prospect as you will get for his price. Treat W-B as a gift from heaven.

    Reading a lot about salah regression based on 1 gw.

    Some stats to consider:

    Last season salah scored 32 goals in 36 games

    He blanked - 12 times

    He scored one 18 times!!!!

    He scored two 5 times

    He scored four 1 time

    Over 300 fantasy points

    Conclusion: it is very common for salah to score only 1 goal. There are no signs of regression yet. What salah does better than anyone is provide consistent returns. He did that on sunday. Mane, kane and kun are streaky. If you want 8 points from your captain every week. Go Salah. Liverpool got better and he is still the main man.

    Had Aguero put away his chances yesterday he would be dead cert the capt choice for this weeks game against Huddersfield. He now comes with a risk of being sub or having his minutes reduced for Jesus.
    Sods law you capt him and this would happen, or you don’t and he scores a brace!
    It’s a tough call.

      Problem I have is every discussion page is being taken over by RMT posts. It dilutes the discussion of the article.

      If all the RMTs were posted in the right place maybe more people who were interested in commenting on them would go there ?

        Problem I have is I am not a member and can not read the article. Therefore I respond or start randon discussions.

        Have you ever been on thst page? I've not posted a RMT but there's no point in a section where no one goes.

        There has not been a single post discussing actual subject of this article. I would suggest just skipping RMTs if you don't like them and letting others comment if they want to, where's the harm in that?

      It is only an RMT or GTG if you put your full team. You can ask the same question but if you put your full team for context you get asked to post on RMT/GTG article. Feels like a rushed delivery to market if you ask me with no logic or thought process involved.

      Sure they will make it better once people start engaging the brain..

      Why not simply have a proper forum discussions? Articles could still be commented on, and hopefully those comments would relate to the actual article in question. Other discussions/topics and RMT's in the forum where it's easy to find it.
