Differentials

Leroy Sané (£9.2m) has become something of a differential option in the early part of this season.

We’ve gone over the case for his inclusion in Gameweek 6, as well two other sparingly owned options in a Spot the Differential article.

The Opinion

The General is back with another piece of his mind this week.

After turning to his arch nemesis Eden Hazard on a Wildcard, he’s back on track ahead of Gameweek 6.

    Last decision. Currently on B.

    A. TAA and Trippier and 1.4 itb to jump on any player in one move (ie back to Mendy)

    B. Robertson and Trippier and 2/3 moves to sort any upgrades.

    C. TAA and Robertson.

    There's talk of Shaqiri coming in for Salah. I think Shaq will play midweek and Salah starts today. Its lilely he may get hooked around 70min depending on how the game is going.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think klopp wants his confidence back so will start today

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nobody with any inside knowledge has said Salah won’t start.

      Just users on this site and Reddit over thinking and over worrying.

      Just captain Salah and log off this site until deadline has passed.

    4. Butcher
      • 12 Years

      Going off what I've read on the Liverpool Echo more so than what I've read on here to be honest.

    5. SUPER 11
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mane will be on threat, not Salah

      1. gergin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        and why Klopp will remove his best player?

  3. Winks Club
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts of this WC team? 0,7 £ remaining in the bank.

    Ederson - Hamer
    Alonso - Robertson - Shaw - Wan-Bissaka - Bennett
    Hazard - Mane - Richarlison - Fraser - Hojberg
    Aguero - Lacazette - Wilson

    1. AdamJ91
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lacks Salah but otherwise good. Not sure on Lacazette though.

    2. LD
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Very nice. Really like the Laca pick

      1. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

    4. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Excellent team.

    5. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Great team on paper.

      Nailed on for a 22 pointer GW

      1. Sid1891
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Love it

    6. General_Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Very similar here. Im on Tripper Mitro over Shaw Wilson.

      Dont like the Bournemouth double up tbh but nice team.

      1. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I really like the double up myself since Bourne are so attacking.

    7. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I was convinced to swap out shaw

      1. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Why?

      2. Riders of Yohan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Why? Is he not starting?

    8. Runaway
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would use 0,7 to do Wilson>Mitro as you also have Fraser. Great team.

      1. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

    9. Indio
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks v good - did you go for the Ed/Hamer combo because Mendy's out, or do you prefer it to 4.5/4.5 GKs anyway?

      1. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I just prefer it, whether or not i had mendy.

        1. Indio
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Interesting (have a similar draft, and that decision is last piece of puzzle for me!). Anyway good luck!

          1. Winks Club
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            To you as well!

    10. 3-4-3
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah good team TBF I'm looking to wildcard to similar team after this game week. I.e two 9m+ strikers.

    11. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      if you have 0,7 left I would do Wilson --> Mitrovic you already have cover from Fraser.

      1. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I actually really like the double up on Bournemouth myself.

  4. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Sell who?
    Mendy Pedro or both?
    Buy who?
    Madison Pogba richarlison Lucas
    Or
    Mendy Pedro to Silva trippier (-4)?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I was in the same boat. I did Pedro > Richarlison. Trying to think a bit more long term after bad picks like Mkhi and Pedro

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        But I'll probably WC around gameweek 9, Richa over Madison?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I think so

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Morning all! Good luck today!

    Mendy >> Trippier (-4)? Or play Kenedy?

    Patricio
    Alonso • Robertson • AWB
    Salah(C) • Richarlison • Mané • Kenedy
    Aguero(vc) • Arnautovic • Zaha
    (Hamer • Tomkins • Mendy* • Cairney*)

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Play Kenedy for sure.

      Think we need a little more time to assess Mendy

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What is going on with Kenedy?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Poor form so was dropped. Imagine if he’s been good in training this week Rafa will put him back in. So play him or take the hit?

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I'd play him tbh. Even if he comes on as sub Trippier would need to score 5+ to even out the hit.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Good point. Cheers. Think I’m just about G2G then

          2. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Your point is good that is. Not the one point Kenedy cameo! 😆

            1. badgerboy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              I'd worry about Trippier going foward as well. Next PL match is before the Barcelona game.

  6. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can not decide whether I should go with a 3-5-2 team on my WC or a 3-4-3, which one would you pick, I am currently leaning towards 3-4-3 with Lacazette.

    Salah, Hazard, D.Silva, Maddison, Richarlison
    Aguero, Mitrovic (bench fodder)

    or

    Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Fraser (bench fodder)
    Aguero, Lacazette, Mitrovic

    1. Klein
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bench fodder is at least a starter?

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        not in the 3-5-2, can only afford a 4.4-4.5

    2. Runaway
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I like the second team more. Lacazette can easily be the highest scoring player in next 3 GWs.

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Okey thanks for the input. What would you do with this defence:

        Hennessy/Patricio, Hamer
        Robertson, Shaw, Peireira, AWB, Bennett

        or

        Hennessy, Hamer
        Alonso, TAA, Doherty, AWB, Bennett.

  7. R3D-D3V1L
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On a WC.

    Hennessey Patricio
    Perreira Shaw Alonso AWB Bennett
    Hazard Maddison Fraser Mane Holjberg
    Aguero Lukaku Zaha

    Confused on whether to go Kaku+Zaha+Holjberg vs. Lacazette+Joselu+Richarlison.

    Thoughts please. TiA.

    1. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I like the one with Laca more but that is me

      1. R3D-D3V1L
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. I also think he has a higher ceiling than Kaku.

        Any other thoughts? Tx.

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Why not Kaku and Mitro?

      1. R3D-D3V1L
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Zaha, I feel, has kinder fixtures. Mitro is on my watch list; am still unsure of his game-on-game points potential.

  8. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Front line of Aguero, Mitrovic, Ings
    Ings out (-4) to:

    a. Lacazette
    b. Firmino
    c. Vardy
    d. Wilson
    e. Keep Ings (play Doherty/Neves this week)

    ???

    1. R3D-D3V1L
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you have the funds for it, Laca is really tempting this week.

      1. Ready Player One
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Vardy v HUD - nice fixtures if he can get his firm up

        1. Ready Player One
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

      PVA, WB

  10. HP18
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Should I start:
    A) Fraser or
    B) Moura

    1. Klein
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Both. Who else do you have?

      1. HP18
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Front 3 of Aguero, Mitro, Wilson

        Midfield of Hazard, Kane, Moura, Maddison, Fraser

    2. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ideally both but A

  11. Avo24
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Am i crazy to captain auba? Have mane, hazard and kun. Mane is rotation risk, hazard has a tricky fixture aganist WH, and aguero away form is really bad. I checked arsenal vs everton history and it produced significant amount of goal.

    1. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not crazy just a big gambler

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years

        I would not even touch that

    2. gergin

      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, You are. If it was Laca - OK, but Auba...

    3. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Go with it if you think it will work.

    Foster
    Mendy*. Alonso. VVD. AWB
    Salah. Mane. Maddison. Fraser
    Aguero. Zaha

    Patricio. Cairney*. Peltier*. Ings*

    Worried about not having Hazard but also my rubbish bench with Mendy probably out. 1FT, 1.2 ITB

    A) Mane > Hazard
    B) Peltier > Doherty/ Chillwell
    C) Save

    Why no love for Leicesters Pereira?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Some love for him here, but Chilwell has better underlying stats and Leicester's defence as a whole looks pretty shite

    2. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have some but still doubtful because LEI defence can be terrible.

    3. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Got Pereira in on WC a couple weeks back and reckon he's best in price bracket for the next 2 - reckon he's worth a punt

  14. Magic Andrés
    • 8 Years

    Hamer Patricio
    Alonso Rob Mendy* AWB Peltier*
    Salah Mane Pedro* Fraser Hughes
    Aguero Arnie* Ings*

    Will I get 11 players on the field? Or do I need to take another hit?
    Appreciate your help!

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, but Pedro might only be 20mins. How many hits you taken? Pedro > Pogba?

      1. Magic Andrés
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Already on -4

  15. ☈☾

    With this team, what would you do?

    Ederson - Hamer
    Alonso - Mendy - Robertson - Wan-Bissaka - Peltier
    Salah - Mané - Maddison - Billing - Stephens
    Agüero - Zaha - King

    FT: 1
    ITB: 1.4m

    Some potential moves I have looked at:

    1) Peltier —> Dorthey
    2) Mendy —> Trippier
    3) Mendy —> Walker
    4) Stephens —> Fraser
    5) Save

    Thoughts? Other suggestions?

    Mods should clamp down today on all these false rumors pre deadline.

    Whoever you chose to captain - HOLD and don’t get influenced

    Is Vardy playing HUD at home being overlooked as (c) option?

    1. SUPER 11
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

      Depends who you own. I think he's a solid option to score

        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        salah, haz, aguero...I think all will do well, but not 100% convinced by either. With such a split, going differential this week seems a decent option

    3. Ready Player One
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  28. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Alderweireld or vertonghen?

    1. SUPER 11
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Alder

    Over the next 3 GWs
    Richarlison Lucas Pogba or Madison?

    I have Pedro, with Neves as my only bench cover (Other surprise benchings could hurt me...)

    A) Richarlison (-4)
    B) Maddison (-4)
    C) Hold

    1. Ha.

      Similar position; I’d take the hit

    2. Pacer.
      • 11 Years

      Or fix a bench player
