How long

I thought the rumours going around where that he was ok?

Might be ok by next weekend though

tells us something we dnt know.

B, Fraser

Yeah honestly, if you read the article, you wouldn't do Mane to Hazard. His points per million is better than anyone, meaning he is the best value player in the game right now (for the premium picks at least).

Wouldn't lose Walcott before West Ham at home. If he's fit to play he has a great record against them and they look shot for confidence ATM

I personally did something like A last week though it was Rich and not Wally but I'll advise B. Keep both Pool assets and get Fraser. Bou have a better stretch of games

Just wait til the end of ib. You could even save a FT if you want to ignore Hazard and Wally is not injured

I actually think your team looks pretty good for GW5. I would personally not use any transfers, then you can do your Hazard move GW6 without any cost.

Sorry for not replying sooner. Apparently I unticked “notify” so had no idea anyone had responded. Thanks for the views! Food for thought...

B, Maddison

nice, keep the money

damn these salah-less teams look soo good !

Cheers guys

I like it, just not sure about DSilva or Shaw

Really like Vardy pick

Pogba is probably off pens now, where do you think his points will come from?

The rest is very similar to my team above, like it

I really like it. I'm looking at almost the same but kamara to Ings and fraser to billing

Dont think klopp rests him there. Think Pools priority is the league and other fringe players have a chance to play in the tie against Chelsea. The worst thing for them is to play with the easiest match in that schedule

For sure, but it could just as easily be Mane that is rested.
Best not to over think it imo, Salah (c)

Southampton game isn't likely at all.

They've got CL, then 4 days later the Southampton game, then 3 days later EFL cup, then 4 days later Chelsea in the PL.

Clearly, the rotation is going to happen in the EFL cup game, which means the side will be full strength in the Southampton game. Benching Salah 2 games in a row makes no sense, he's a professional football player.

I’m not too worried myself as I think it’s too hard to predict. I’m more just wondering what angle people are coming from on this.

Surprised you can afford it...!

Not a fan of Neves playing every week, the rest looks great

Looks great

It can be done, yes, problem is of course that you have limited flexibility. If Bennet loses his place you only have 4 options in defense and Hamer is not even first choice meaning you will have to play Patricio every week.

The forward line is good of course, but I would rather lose one of the expensive mids for say, a Silva so you can have a strong keeper rotation and a better 5th mid option to rotate with Neves.

Is this a WC?

I would get rid of Zaha

Yeah, early talk

“At 7/7.1m he is the best value player in the game”

Oh how I winced when I heard that line multiple times.

I still believe that Mkhi will start some games. I think all the sellers might feel sad in a few weeks....

There is no such thing as essential anyone who uses it just likes the buzz word/does not really understand that game is fluid and in constant flux.

Kinda weak midfield maybe...?

I wouldn't go Moura on a WC. Just a transfer waiting to happen.

For now he is, he's been doing well.

They have backup, so he could be rotated. But no more of a risk than any other cheap defender really.

Very similar. Leaning towards B

Why would you sell the best striker in the league ? Don't bother mentioning Kane

Before Burnley at home? Damn, what a tough fixture

To far ahead to know yet

ive sold already...i have salah and hazard and david silva instead, and im happy. my team looks much better now.

i feel silva can match him consistently, whereas aguero will be more explosive.

Yeah, for Kane maybe

What is a form player?

It ls almost hoping that he does not keep it up so Salah can be justified in time.

He is but it's not as though Newcastle away is a great fixture so waiting another week at least won't hurt. If he starts that match too and looks good I reckon he's worth a punt despite on going rotation risk.

Compare him to mids around the same price and it's a no contest really, so why bother?

I don't want a fella who could come on for 1 point cameos at that price.

Zaha to Mitro and upgrade Tarkowski

Yeah, Mane and Sterling a great choice

Get rid of Miki. Pretty even between Mane and Sterling, maybe go with Sterling so you have one from each team. But saying that I have Salah and Mane

You're right to ditch Mhki. I have him and almost certainly will. I didn't think he was a rotation option but I thought Arsenal were great in attack with Auba and Lacazette at the weekend and it seems unlikely Ozil will make way.

Out of Sterling and Mane I would go Mane, not just because he has more points. Liverpool's upcoming games are tough it's true, but I think that means you'll see little rotation from top players and right now, I fancy Liverpool to score past anybody anyway. if Sterling was going to be playing every week he's a no-brainer, even at 11. But he's not and City's easy fixtures combined with the CL starting make me think there will be a lot of rotation for him.

Not at all. Should be full strength.

Cant stretch to 5.6 ?

Tricky price range. Probably Will Hughes

Brooks. Great stats and fixtures.

Thanks lads!

a) yep
b) yep
c) yep
d) nope, just go with maddison now

Pedro & Wilson vs Ramsey & Fraser

3-4-3

Patricio.

Hennessey less guaranteed to keep his starting role imo. Wolves fixtures are alright. I'd guess you have wan bisaka and wouldnt want to double up on palace def if both would be in your starting 11.

Its missing a certain Liverpool midfielder but looks pretty solid

not keen on ings at all and Salah is missing so not for me 🙂 i d go vardy instead of lukaku and do maddison to D Silva.

Looks good. Maybe get a 2nd playing keeper cos you're screwed if Hennessy is injured/suspended. Nice Lukaku pick. Pedro is quality but possibly Sarri will rotate him depending on opposition.

You're basically giving up Salah for Lukaku. It's like trading in a Ferrari for Golf

An 8 week plan? Good luck with that one.

Yep, good to have a plan but I just don't believe everything will go so that

it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Salah (especially if captained in GW6&9) outscores all those players over the next 5 weeks

I think I like this more than any wildcard I've seen.
So far from template so could massively pay off

The problem with plans is you become so obsessed with implementing them that you forget about the fundamentals of the game. What if Arnie massively kicks into gear around GW10 but your plan is working out transfer wise. Do you feel you'll be able to move away from the plan? Or will it become the aim of the game iitself.

Is there a back-up plan to get Salah in earlier?

Arnie GW14+ could be good.

A for me (value in Schurrle long term IMO, not in Hugues and Wilson can catch Mitrovic)

A

Don’t do it.

Tough one, as Auba owner from GW1 i'm feeling the pain of this one.

I wouldn't do it for a hit. Fixture turn and Auba could hit form, finally got himself a goal. If you can do it for free and Auba still not providing then would go for Aguero and even Lukaku is worth considering.

Cheers for your help guys.
Hope Kun will be benched then 😉

Billing is trash

Vardy Bennett and bank the extra cash imo

This

This

I agree, what's scary is I think Liverpool aren't even at full tilt yet and he can rip it up against any team.

Just own him and be happy. What are Salah owners so worried about that they have to keep beating their chests? 😉

Not if the replacements also haul.

this is the part that Salah owners are forgetting.

That is assuming those without Salah do not have other players who can get hauls, strong back line and overall squad AND Hazard/Mane/Aguero/Lukaku etc etc.
It is not just one player that get points in fpl they all can.
It depends on what combination of players you have.
