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

        Hopefully not Firmino!

      2. Meinhoff
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Salah

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        The player starting behind him

      4. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Mane

      5. Goat
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        TAA

      6. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I feel like he wont drop Salah because there's been a little bit of heat on him lately. (Mane owner)

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

          Yep. During a recent presser he was backing and protecting him despite the criticism, saying he wasn’t concerned at all. Feel as though he’ll play Salah to give him a confidence boost.

          wow calm down, last page

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            😀

            More chance of him starting midweek. Can you see him resting salah or mane then playing one of these in cup ?

      10. lespaul
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Mane

      11. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Allison

    5. Total Slotball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Okay from what I'm hearing. 3 Changes for Liverpool today... Firmino, Shaqiri in the No.10 role and Keita also back. Milner and Wijnaldum well deserved rests as Henderson would captain the side I imagine.

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

        Source ?!

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Looks realistic

      3. Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Who does SHaq replace ?!

      4. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Salah and Mane starting?

      5. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Mané on pens

        1. *Reformed-Character*
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Mane won’t be playing. If Shaq plays he replaces mane, no way he drops Salah after the critics he’s receiving lately

          1. lespaul
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Agree

          2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Mane plays on left though. If I've read this right them Shaq in number 10. Would Bobby play on left ? Maybe all 4 could start

      6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        shaqiri no 10 ahead of who?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He could play behind Bobby . I can't see Mane or Salah being effected by Shaq starting number 10

          Saw a possible formation that showed Bobby in 10 and studge in front with mane and Salah wide. This could be it but with Shaq

      7. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        NOT VERY CLEAR

      8. Bilbao Baggins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Got Klopps number for me ?

        1. lespaul
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Is Clyne still alive ?

      9. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Whether this turns out to be true or not, this is all just speculation and a rehash of the same articles we're all looking at.

    6. rrcmc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is Kun + Sane + Dilva too much Citeh?
      Drop Sane or Dilva?
      Worried about Dilva start.

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

        Dilva will start, for sure. Ditch Sane or Aguero.

    7. vandebeek
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott to Maddison for free... Yes or no?

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes.

      2. rrcmc

        Y

      On WC, who to get in as my 5th midfielder?
      Currently on Billing. Thoughts on Ward/Höjbjerg?

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

        Im on Hoj

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

        Hoj.

        Ward would be my choice if current fixtures were better.

      3. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Probs Hoj to save that .1

      4. nisag17
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I would get Ward. I will probably get him in as soon as I have a free transfer with nothing urgent required.

    9. 824545201
      • 9 Years

      Chances for Shaqiri to start in place of Salah today?

        Who would make a better captain this week: Lukaku or Sane?

        1. Goat

          B

        2. Dannyb

          Lukaku at home surely

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

            That was my thinking the whole week, but now with Mendy ruled out and Sane sure to start and his great stats when he does start, I'm wondering whether to swap the armband over. Also Cardiff defence is a lot worse than Wolves.

        3. Dangerous Dave
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Lukaku

          Aguero is due a goal, Hazard is not.

          Aguero (c)

            Benteke and Rondon are quite often due goals aswell...........

          Draft league, which two do you bench this weekend?

          D. W Hughes (ful away)

          Mendy keepers, we starting or benching?

            • 9 Years

            Starting and solid 1st sub.

            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Starting, I don't expect him to play so sub from bench will come on.

          Pretty disappointing that we're not getting the captaincy hot topic this year. Anyone know the reason for this change? I really enjoyed it last season and it really helped me make those tricky captaincy decisions!

              Yep sorry just saw it. This is the first week they've done it which is good (but feels like it was an after thought to the post rather than a dedicated hot topic).

          A) Mendy > Laporte
          B) Peltier > 4.6(?)
          C) Ings > 6.3(?)
          D) Play Stephens and no bench (+4 points)

          Advice much appreciated!!

            Definitely not C.

            Tougher that it's for a -4, for the most part the defender has to keep a clean sheet to gain 2 points.

            Essentially break even if you just play Stephens.

              For 6.3 I could get Wilson or King!?

                Prefer Ings. Bournemouth's fixtures will turn, King and Wilson will share points and Ings is Soton's undoubted #1
