    Ederson* / Hamer*
    TAA / AWB* / Doherty* / Shaw* / Digne
    Salah / Mane / Hayden / F.Anderson / Pogba*
    Jimenez* / Higuaín / Barnes

    1 FT. Need a goalkeeper. Concerned about Higuain’s fitness.

    A) Should I 4-pt Vardy in for Higuaín and Fabianski for Hamer?
    B) as above with AWB > Rice for -8?

    My rank is toilet and I am miles behind in my minileague if that makes a difference.

    (No cheating)

    Name:
    - The only MID
    - The only two DEFs

    having played all minutes of this season

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 15 days ago

      Pretty sure Milvojevic is the midfielder

      One of the wolves defenders (not Jonny, doherty or Bennett). Cody maybe?

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        Yes for Mili. Yes for Coady*.

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

      Milivojevic
      Mee and Ake

      1. Lionel Ronaldo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 15 days ago

        No to Ake. Missed 9 minutes against United. See above.

        Diop, Azpi, Kante

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Diop missed GWs 1 and 2.
          Technically Azpi didn't play in one of the GWs.
          Kanté missed minutes against Wolves and Huddersfield.

            • 8 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Check his GWs 13-16. Also GW23.

        Salah TC ??
        YAAAAAY
        NOPE

        1. Taking one for the team
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Nay

        2. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Patience is a virtue

          The time for TC will come but it’s not this week

        3. Jay_
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Thinking about. Don’t feel ‘right’ though. But I think that’s just because it’s a SGW and every SGW after will feel like that too.

          1. Numb
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Klopp didn’t say anything in his Presser

            1. Team Cruel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              Managers often keep quiet if they aren't specifically asked about certain players.

          2. Lionel Ronaldo
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Lateness, toilet breaks, could be anything.

          3. Taking one for the team
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Don’t worry, he’s on the bus

          4. Maddamotha
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Typical I dont get him because of this, then he starts and gets a brace

            1. TheDragon
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              Your optimistic if you think it’ll just be a brace

              1. TheDragon
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 15 days ago

            They also put a man on the moon.

            I broke this story ages ago.

            1. TheDragon
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              You could be FFS’s roving reporter

        4. Oscar Slater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          So, stick with TAA, Salah & the possibly injured Mane for the FHC or ditch the defender and bring in Firmino for a guaranteed attacking double up?

          1. Taking one for the team
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Everyone needs to relax about Mane, he’ll be more than fine

            1. AuFeld
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 15 days ago

              Do you have anything to support your claim?

        5. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          What's this news about Mane not being in training??? Surely Klopp would have mentioned in his press conference?

          1. Taking one for the team
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 15 days ago

            Zzzzzzzz

        6. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 15 days ago

          Now Arni seems okay do I get him in over King or Maddisson?

          1. Jay_
              5 years, 15 days ago

              Prefer King if it’s for 33 too

              1. Taking one for the team

          2. Jay_
              5 years, 15 days ago

              A) Billing (whu, LEI), DDG (WAT, wol), Luiz (car, BRI)

              B) Wilson (NEW, BUR), Kepa (car, BRI), Shaw (WAT, wol) -4

              • 6 Years

              Guaita or Foster to Boruc Worth the -4 ?

              1. Jay_
                  5 years, 15 days ago

                  One will play 33 so probably not

                • 10 Years
                5 years, 15 days ago

                Surprised to see Siggy relatively highly rated in RMT tool for GWs 31&33. Not too many attacking returns lately, am I missing something?

                • 5 Years

                Fraser likely to start??

                  • 13 Years

                  I think so.

                  • 8 Years

                • 9 Years

                If all goes as expected for the teams playing in 32 how do you think this would do?

                    I'd lose 0.4 on jiminez and possibly want him back of free hit next week

                    This love would give me 11 starters for 31....already got Wilson

                      If you have your FH and or WC I would.
                      Can shift funds around to get the players you want.

                    Kamara > Vardy worth a hit? Would mean -8, and 11 playing

                    Is it worth bringing in Rice or D.Luiz for a hit this week? I have 11 but would mean Schindler could sit on the bench in case any last min non players?

                      Not for a hit

                    Is a -8 worth it to get another defender or keeper in?

                    Only have 9 ATM

                      Yes if it gives you the full 11 in 33 too

                    A. Rash>Vardy
                    B. Pogba>Hazard (losing 0.9 on Pogba)
                    C. Both for -8
                    D. Play 9

                    Playing FH GW32 (all other chips remaining)

                    FAB
                    ROBERTSON, TAA, PEREIRA, DIGNE
                    SALAH, FRASER, Pogba, ANDERSON

                      Probably A.
                      Could you not lose AWB for someone like Rice if you want 11.

                        Thanks. Prefer attackers at this stage. Have Fab as well.

                      Definitely A.

                      Whether to do Pogba to Hazard depends on whether you care about ownership. Hazard will be very highly owned. Also depends on what your planned FH GW32 team looks like, if it includes Pogba and whether you need that £0.9m

                      Surprised you are losing as much as £0.9m, you know you only lose half the difference between purchase and sell price?

                        Thanks. Not an issue for GW32 as I can have a cheap bench. May be an issue when WCing GW34. Bought for 8.0 and if I lose him will have to pay 8.9. That said if I sell him I have gained 0.4 as you say.

                    -8 to get 11 out?

                      5 years, 15 days ago

                      Thinking same, see above. Would probably want attackers or pool defenders though.
