      I think Hazard is the safest bet regarding form & expected minutes

      Kun: just back from small injury, might be subbed after comfortable lead.
      Salah: not on form, not sure about minutes (Think Shaqiri will be involved)
      Mane: form, not sure about minutes (Think Shaqiri will be involved)

        also , even tho they have a LITTLE more depth this season, klopp has shown resistance to resting permanent starters for league/CL matches, he will rest them mid week vs chelsea in the cup as they return to play chelsea on the weekend

    In the wide world of fantasy football websites, has anyone built a service that monitors your competitors' teams and tries to infer what substitutions they may have made based on the public data of Gameweek Transfers, Team Value and Cash in the Bank? While you couldn't be certain, you could probably make some pretty good guesses...

    Presumably we find out the fate of Mendy at the presser tomorrow.

    Q for those who have had him in from start: how long would he have to be out for for you to consider shipping?

    Q2: Who for? Assume (almost) everyone on here has Alonso and Robbo/TAA - is the Arsenal defence tempting? Cheaper Chilwell/Pereira to free up funds elsewhere?

    Now was planning to do Cedric to Chillwell with the change(wanted Pereira but price change stopped that). Is it ok to do Cedric to Chilwell for a -4.

    Between Hazard and Aguero - please add to this set of thoughts :-

    Both West Ham and Cardiff have let in lots of goals
    Both will be at Home
    But West Ham won last weekend for the first time
    West Ham have invested far more in players and have a better manager
    Cardiff haven't invested and haven't shown an ability to defend

    Overall Aguero is a more ruthless attacker than Hazard
    Hazard is however brillant and obviously got a hat-trick last week - and he gets 5 points per goal and clean sheet bonus

    So it's really close - but I back Aguero vs Cardiff more than Hazard vs West Ham

    Your thoughts?

      However, as much as it wouldn't surprise me for Chelsea to score 3 or 4 against West Ham, equally I wouldn't be completely surprised if West Ham show up and actually put up a real fight and it ending 1-0.

      I would be very surprised if City don't score at least 3.
