Salah’s effective ownership balloons as Triple Captains played

It has been a quiet Gameweek in terms of chips used in the top 10k.

Actually, for the first time this season, the most-used is not the Wildcard.

Only 0.62% of them were activated in the top 10k as opposed to 1.15% active Triple Captains.

The vast majority of those were placed on Mohamed Salah (1.05%), with Sadio Mane basically being the only other triple captained player (0.09%).

This is understandable ahead of Liverpool’s Anfield meeting with Fulham’s poor defence on Sunday. The Cottagers have conceded 29 goals this season, more than any other side thus far.

This interest in Liverpool assets is very evident in captaincy polls as well. Salah is the top target with 59.58% while Mane is second with 26.93%.

That raises Salah’s effective ownership to 121.76% being the only player this week with more than 100% average weight in the top 10k.

The closest to him is Eden Hazard with 92.98% and Sergio Aguero with 87.82%.

However, this very high effective ownership of Salah doesn’t actually mean he is in all teams at this bracket.

The Egyptian is actually in just 61.1% of the top 10k squads. Most of them captained him, which is why his effective ownership is almost double his raw ownership.

In fact, Salah is ranked ninth when it comes to basic ownership in the top10k

Ahead of him is Hazard (86.11%), Aguero (85.4%), Marcos Alonso (83.4%), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (77.2%), Andrew Robertson (70%), Marko Arnautovic (69.6%), Richarlison (67.9%) and Callum Wilson (62.4%).

Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic has emerged as a very popular option amongst the game’s current best managers. Supported by his good form and appealing upcoming fixtures, he is currently the second highest-owned forward in the top10k and was transferred in by 28.6% of these managers this week.

The main fall-guy for him is Aleksandar Mitrovic whose top10k ownership dropped from 37% to just 5.9% in a matter of days.

While Mitrovic’s usefulness was clearly at an end anyway, such a swathe of sales shows the influence of the market. His value was on the fall all week, and these managers may well have also sold him en masse to avoid falling foul of that.

We could possibly see this as a sign that the so-called ‘template team’ can quickly change when it needs to.

For example, if we look at the Wildcard template of this week, we see Arnautovic and Mat Ryan making their way into the active teams.

Meanwhile, the defence options seem to be a bit static at the moment. The usual suspects of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Alonso, Robertson and Benjamin Mendy still lead the way in most squads.

Despite strong upcoming fixtures, the top 10k are yet to really invest in Arsenal attack. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have effective ownerships of 10.22% and 3.73% respectively, largely on account of such a cluster of value forwards.

On the other hand, while Manchester City the Manchester derby ahead of them, interest in their assets is still very high.

Four Man City players have effective ownerships of higher than 10%, namely Aguero (87.8%), Mendy (56.1%), Ederson (26.5%) and Raheem Sterling (14.1%).

Not surprisingly, if we look at the Premier League teams with the most players per top10k team, we find that Liverpool and Man City are tied in the first place as they both provide 2.1 players per FPL team at that level.

Arsenal are not even in the top 10 sides represented in Fantasy teams in the top 10k.

Chelsea are a close third with 2.0 average players. Wolves, West Ham and Bournemouth provide 1.3, 1.3 and 1.2 players respectively.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool and Man City players will repay the faith of both their football and Fantasy managers this week.

    You know it's a weird week so far when the Dream team strike force is Rondon and Gabbiadini and Hart is in goal 😀

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      😆

      Hart has been doing really well over the season, his defence letting him down.

      1. Nabs Kebabs

        been alright, made some bad mistakes aswell though

        1. ZeBestee
          • 10 Years

          He has mistakes in him but all the games i watched so far this season, he's been really good for them.

    3. Nabs Kebabs

      not really a weird week though, just all the big teams playing today (sorry Spurs, you're not a big team).

      About as rare as a sighting of Halley’s Comet

  2. ZeBestee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Salah captained by around 60% (61% owned) of top 10k and 21% (35% owned) by overall. A bit of a differential if he hauls big time.

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      15 points again would be fantastic

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Nor really. A differential against ghost teams.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        79% of 5.8M are ghost teams?

          I’m looking at top teams in the table and not many have him.

          1. ZeBestee
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            Well 39% dont own him. That is no small number.

    5. Wally banter

      Salah scoring big and Mane restricted to less than 6 points will be the key... atm people having mane are laughing at us

  3. *sigh*
    • 13 Years

    Easy like Sunday morning

    2ft 0.3 itb

    Ederson-Hamer
    DRAM-AWB
    Mo-Haz-Fraser-Barkley-Ward
    Kun-Arnie-Wilson

    Feel like I’m happy with the team apart from eternal problem 4th and 5th mid slots. Barkley rumoured to be rested today and Ward didn’t get off bench yesterday.

    A)Barkley Ward To Gudmundsson Camarasa.Both nailed and Gudmundsson rotates well with Fraser.Was all ready to do this last night until I saw the slight injury concern to Gudmundsson.
    B) Salah Barkley to Mane Alli
    C) Salah Barkley Mendy to Mane Sterling Balbuena -4
    D) Owt else?

    Any comments welcome

        a bit pointless post when there's still 4 games with highly owned players to play. That's probably the reason people are not commenting these

          No problem, you don’t need to comment if you don’t want to. Just wanted to know peoples opinions.

      B with Martial instead of Alli probably?

        • 13 Years

        Don’t fancy Man U to be honest mate.Wanted a Spurs mid for the long term and dropping Mo to Mane would allow me to do this and get rid of my 4th mid problem. Not like Gudmundsson idea?

    3. Midlands Saint73

        Only problem losing Mo for Mane but nearly matching him for 3 m less seems to be continuing.Thanks for responding, much appreciated.

      14 minutes after the post ... on a Sunday morning ? Chill and let people reply in their own time 😉

      Ederson to Allison
      Barkley to Fernandinho
      Upgrade Ward later

      1. *sigh*
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Come back in half an hour with a better suggestion Hotdog 🙂 Fernandinho for Christ sakes

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          Highest midfield points scorer for his price last season.

          Nailed in City team, highest midfield points scorer for his price in the game this season so far, the only attacker that has scored more points in his price range is Ings, more points and more nailed than Brooks ... what more do you want ?

          Open you eyes to the casual side 🙂

          1. *sigh*
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            It’s still a crap pick though.Takes up a valuable City space.Cant believe it took you so long to come up with that garbage Lol.Hows your team doing?

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 11 months ago

              Is that the valuable place currently being taken up by ... err ... Ederson ?

              For me, it’s Aguero or Sterling/KdB & Mendy ... after that the third spot is very tricky. I held Ederson for a while but .... he takes up a valuable City place 😉

              Once you go past Aguero, Sterling and KdB the City attackers are a lottery.

              Sane 9.4 mill & 49 points
              D Silva 8.5 & 48
              B Silva 7.5 & 46
              Mahrez 6.6 & 41
              Fernandinho 5.4 & 41 - yes the same as Mahrez and just 8 points off Sane

              So yes, the consensus on here is that Fernandinho is a rubbish casual pick, takes a valuable City spot ... but yet he is better value and nearly matching all the traditional valuable third City spots

              But hey, if you don’t like it you can at least say so in a civil manner 😉

                Still don’t get the civil manner quote. Surely you understood the garbage comment followed by “lol” was light hearted?
                To quickly delve further (as the condescending criticism is getting ridiculous) my original post wasn’t getting answered while similar posts afterwards were so I (again) tried light humour with microphone not working comment to drum up some help.Read back my posts in this context and you will understand how you might have misunderstood my intentions.

                  5 years, 11 months ago

                  By the way the enquiry as to how your team was doing was a genuine attempt to promote discussion as I was interested on how you were set up.Nevermind now.

    6. Nabs Kebabs
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      It's a bit early for me to suggest transfers..but advice I will give is to avoid bandwagons like Barkley in the future. There was nothing to suggest he was nailed on for even atleast a few weeks when a player with the quality of Kovacic is his competition. Saves you a transfer in and out.

      1. *sigh*
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Yes big facepalm to me for Barkley.Watched one game and thought he was the answer.Gudmundsson seems a better choice and means I don’t have to rip up rest of team to get him in as I can do a straight swap.Obviously will wait for possible injury update though.Appreciate your input Nabs ,cheers.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          I like Gudmundsson. Very underrated player with a lot of playmaking ability...if Burnley score there's a good chance he's involved. Fixtures are decent and he should tick along nicely at his price.

    Don't get why people are rushing to get rid of Salah. I don't think now is the time. I brought him back in for these fixtures and looking to captain most weeks in next 4.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      People want Sterling and Mane is matching Salah for 3m less. I’m undecided myself

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I get the appeal for Sterling. He is on top form and a great option. But there will be some rotation in coming gameweeks. Sterling will very likely rest one of the upcoming fixtures. Also City have 3 away games in next 4 after United.

        Mane won't match Salah's points long term. Value wise he probably will but these are some great fixtures to give the armband for Mo imo. Mane is overperforming while Salah is underperforming based on stats.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Had him since GW1 and even triple captaining this week. However, now or GW15 perfect times to get rid.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Now I understand it if you have 2 FTs. I am more looking GW15 so agree with you completely.

        I briefly considered TC. Just wasn't confident enough after watching their last few games. And will consider Hazard GW14 as well. Read Peter's blog post on it and I've seen few of your post. It's a valid strategy this season (more so than last, right?) because of the way DGW and BGW are set.

        Good luck to you, I hope he does well.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          TC in a single GW is always a valid strategy imo, we don't have enough information about the DGWs until very late in the season so there is always a risk with that.

          GW15 looks the best time to sell Salah I agree, for GW13, there's not really another big hitter to bring. Kane looks someone to target for Gw15.

          1. _figu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            Okay, I have only played FPL one season so don't have the experience. Mathematically DGW is better for TC on vacuum (more minutes if nailed captain) but there are so many moving pieces you have to take into account which I'm sure you have so won't get into those 🙂

            GW16 might actually be even better. Assuming Kane doesn't hit form before that. Hoping he will, would shake up the template.

    3. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Wont captain him more than once in next 7-8 gameweeks, thats why.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Then getting rid makes perfect sense.

    4. *sigh*
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Had Mo since the start and now it’s mid November so don’t think I’m rushing to get rid but others are showing to better value. Let’s see what happens today.Hopefully he hauls.

    5. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      See transfers below. I am not looking to captain him after today. The fixtures turn. I can get Sterling over Fraser if I sell.

      • 6 Years

      If Mané matches or outscores salah today I can see a lot of sales, Think I’ll hold on for a few weeks more myself

    7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 7 Years

      Yeah I need him gw15 vs Burnley for captaincy so keeping I think instead of getting sterling.But will surely dump him regardless on my gw16 wc

  5. Demel

    Planned moves. Look ok?

    Salah/Fraser > Mane/Sterling (-4)

    Ryan
    Mendy - Robertson - Alonso - Doherty
    Mane - Sterling - Hazard
    Jimenez - Arnie - Aguero

    Button - Brooks - Murphy - AWB

    1. THFC4LIFE

      You must have a high team value mate, team looks great tbf

        Thanks 104.5m.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. If Sterling is involved in both games during the IB then might not start next.

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        That is what makes me a little wary of making the switch this he for -4.

    3. Afghanistanislas
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, great (similar) team. Have similar moves planned over the next 1-2 GWs (unless Salah starts killing it)

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        That is always the worry but hopefully the fixtures are against him.

    4. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Figure Martial might be the man to go for after the IB - look at his fixtures.

      City have lots of away fixtures

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Ya, would really like to find a way to fit him in in couple gameweeks.

    5. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Tempting but wouldn't take a hit to do it. At least wouldn't do it until close to next deadline. Arsenal home is a decent fixture for Bournemouth.

      Who would you captain? Aguero away form not the best

    6. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I’m getting cold feet now! Fraser looked so good yesterday that I want to keep even for those fixtures. Will need to watch mane vs salah closely today

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Fraser is amazing value. I bought him for 5.6 so even if I move Salah, he won't be the one I'd upgrade. Rotates well with Wolves def and AWB as well.

        1. Pat Bonner

          Yep, I’ve got Jimenez as well and him and Fraser rotate nicely

    7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Many will say Fraser is a season keeper but I think it's best to cash in and get him if needed at a lower price at later part of the season if needed

  6. Afghanistanislas
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Know it's still early but which move looks the best:

    A) Salah and Barkley > Sterling and Martial (-4)
    B) Salah and Barkley > Mane and Martial (-4)
    C) Save FT; do Salah, Barkley and Robertson > Sterling, Mane and Gomez (-4) the week after

    Patricio
    Alonso Robertson Mendy Bennett
    Salah Hazard Richarlison
    Aguero Arnautovic Jimenez

    (Button Barkley AWB Hojbjerg)

    1. 420king
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      And who'd you bench if you sell Barkley for -4?

      1. Afghanistanislas
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Bennett

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      No need for hits.

  7. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    A bit early but whom to bench next GW?
    A)Arnie
    B) Wilson
    C)Fraser
    D) Alonso

    1. ZeBestee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. ZeBestee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Difficult. Probably Arnie but one of Wilson/Fraser as well.

    3. *sigh*

      A

  8. as33

    Robbo will play today?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      He should

    2. romer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      He must

  9. Wild Rover
    • 14 Years

    Expect a fair few early subs today as players pick up 'International knocks' 😉

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Possibly. But there are some key games today. Salah or Mane the biggest potential rests today.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Would add Sterling to that list after playing 90 midweek.

    2. el polako

      After I think.Need to load up on arsenal assets in gw16 especially bellerin and laca.Also have salah for Burnley match gw15 so not in a rush to get kane

    1. *sigh*
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      For the price he isn’t explosive enough for me.Id even be tempted to swap for Morata who has better service in the Chelsea team.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        was thinking downgrade and sue cash in mid. will look at Morata tho thanks

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Had a look at his price yesterday and couldn't believe it was still 9M. I'd get out at that price while you still can, he and Leicester are crap atm regardless of fixtures.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        cheers for reply. thinking the same

    3. ZeBestee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Will have to keep myself. Not many to consider as replacements imo. A haul is around the corner hopefully.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I like Morata as well but will keep for one more gameweek.

      brought him in GW9 for a total return of 7pts with "good fixtures" - gutted tbh is he was such a differential - No idea who to swap him to ;(

    7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 7 Years

      Watched yesterday sell IMO .Maybe keep one week and sell to morata for the Fulham game

  13. Wild Rover
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Bit ott headlining Salah's triple cappers, by my reckoning only 105 of the top 10k have put tc on him

  14. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Is it worth doing TAA to Doherty with FT or just play 1 of TAA or Arnie and save? (have Robbo and Patricio)

    1. *sigh*
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on rest of team bud.TAA doesn’t seem assured of starts these days and I’m getting the feeling other teams have worked Wolves out.Doherty has plum fixture next week though.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      save as long as possible over ib

    3. Pat Bonner

    Downgrade to Jimenez

    Bit of a knee jerk but Bou’s fixtures getting tough

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 8 Years

      For me personally I'll keep
      Arsenal struggle away at home defensively
      AWB covers him GW14
      Captain material GW15

      1. JurgenRodgers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        He’s been unbelievable value, few weeks to think about it..

        Also means I can upgrade Gudmunsson to Martial Gw14

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 7 Years

      Cash in I think.They have only 3 good fixtures in next 10.

  19. Halmari Tea
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Any hazard captainers this week like me?
    I have a feeling liverpool fulham will have only 1 goal as fulham will literally only defend
    Hazard against coleman and everton rarely keeping clean sheets my prediction
    Hazard hat trick
    Salah 1 goal
    Mane rested.

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      1 goal!? Cardiff scored 4 against them.

      1. Halmari Tea
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Thats true however Fulham know very well they cant win this game so definitely they wont attack.
        9 men behind the ball with Salah playing central striker role and pool having being shattered 0-2 by red star
        On the other hand everton cant defend and know they can only win via attack - Hazard/Willian MOTM

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 11 months ago

          That’s all well and good. But they can’t bloody defend.

    2. *sigh*
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Could be right re. the Pool v Fulham game except that Fulham can’t defend.

  20. Big_Bear
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else here not got Salah, Mane, Hazard and Aguero?

    Will the likes of Sterling, Mahrez, D. Silva, Barkley, Morata(c) and Mitrovic catapult me up the rankings or is this lead balloon time?

    Fingers crossed the masses have a low scoring day!

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      i think a lot of people are moving to the top four but after today that might all change

      1. Big_Bear
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        I e started so badly just gambled on WC and went for all differentials. Make or break time!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Could pan out, Morata looks to have hit some form but Mahrez and Barkley could be benched (unlikely imo but others are more adamant)

          balls of steal!

          don't mean to be rude but expected a monster defence. GL to you!

          some WC

          1. Big_Bear
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            Team value is below 100m. I had Sanchez until recently (and was captaining him). I kept faith and it was a disaster.

            Sterlings 42 breathed abit of hope. If Liverpool lose today 1-0 (I know hugely unlikely) I could be back in this with a Morata masterclass.

            Fortune favours the brave.

          Bold. I would've done something in between that and template but at least every gameweek is exiting for you which really can't be said with template teams. Not much moving parts in my 2 money leagues at the moment until template starts shaking up.

          1. Big_Bear
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 11 months ago

            I was cut adrift in my ML. I acknowledge you can grind out decent weeks with good captain choices, subs ect but Im impatient and wanted big swings. I've massively risked a big one against me today but I'd rather have a coin toss with heads first and tails last place then finish 25th in my ML. (I realise what I've done isn't literally this but you get the metaphor)

  21. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Best Fraser replacement? 7.6m to spend.
    A) Richarlison
    B) Martial
    C) Sigurdsson

    Tempted by A given 3/4 easy home fixtures coming up + leaves some money itb.

    1. Big_Bear
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      A (and I've got C)

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      A

    3. *sigh*
      • 13 Years

      A out of those although I’d be tempted by Filipe or Lucas

    4. WVA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      It's A by some distance

    5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      C(I have got A).Richarlison owner but with Mina zouma Keane for corners and assist potential,long range shots siggy better option than richa but depends what u do with extra cash

  22. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Bennett + Robbo + Fraser > Doherty + Yedlin + Martial

    Thoughts?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn’t want to lose Robertson.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        if he gets benched today then he is gone for sure - long term I don't think pools xmas fixtures are as good as others - Doherty looks like a must have for the next two

        If he blanks today then he hasn't been that effective since GW4

    2. circusmonkey

    1. Eat my goal!

        Away though

      2. drughi

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Might play him in midfield with Fab and Naby

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      I think he’ll play at the top of the midfield 3. I hope so anyway as a Mané & Salah owner.

      1. JJO
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        he will
        They dont need 3 DMs/CMs vs Fulham

    3. Norfolk&Chance
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      Milner or wij I imagine

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Milner out would mean Salah on pens 😎

    Just read that Ings overstretched and hurt his hamstring in warm up yet played 39 minutes. Hopefully he’s not aggravated it too much and will be back in a few weeks.

    1. drughi
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 11 months ago

      just got him in so ofc he gets injured, 2 weeks til next game though so should be fine

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 months ago

        Hoping so too. It’s not a transfer I want to make.

    2. Norfolk&Chance
      • 10 Years

      Should be ok after IB

        Hope so, especially with Fulham the next game.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea

    4. _figu

      Brought him in as Salah enabler. Something seriously wrong with baps system.

      You have Bennett so not the end of the world even if Ings misses out. Of course would be annoying if he misses Fulham

  29. diesel001
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 months ago

    Predict your Liverpool XI. My guess:

    Alisson; Gomez, Lovren, VVD, Moreno; Milner, Shaqiri, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane

      There was a team posted on twitter yesterday from a so called respectable source and it was that team minus Milner.Very worrying for us Robertson owners.

    Want to bring wolves defense in the team to free funds and catch those good fixtures

    A) ederson to Patrício +1,3
    B) Mendy to Doherty + 1,7

    The plan is to ship Fraser. B would allow martial, but A would (2ft) be short...
