Aubameyang and Lacazette paired up front as Ozil returns

Two Premier League matches kick off at 16:00 BST on Sunday afternoon.

Arsenal play the first of two Double Gameweek 35 fixtures, with Crystal Palace the visitors to the Emirates.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are in action against a Cardiff City side that has lost all ten of their meetings with “big six” sides in 2018/19.

There are no great shocks in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI, with their most-popular Fantasy assets all in the visitors’ line-up.

Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk make up a familiar-looking back four, while Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah are once again selected up front.

Georginio Wijnaldum for Fabinho is Klopp’s only alteration from Gameweek 34.

Neil Warnock has named an unchanged team for the visit of Liverpool.

Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are included in the same starting XI for only the second time in nine Premier League games.

Aaron Ramsey misses out with a hamstring injury so Mesut Ozil lines up in “the hole” behind Arsenal’s strike pair.

Sead Kolasinac is also included as Emery rolls out a 3-4-1-2, with Carl Jenkinson getting a rare start on the opposite flank.

Patrick van Aanholt, Andros Townsend and Michy Batshuayi are among the substitutes for Palace, with Joel Ward handed a recall at full-back.

Arsenal XI (3-4-1-2): Leno, Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Jenkinson, Guendouzi, Elneny, Kolasinac, Özil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita, Ward, Kelly, Dann, Wan-Bissaka, McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyaté, Meyer, Zaha, Benteke.

Cardiff City XI (4-2-3-1): Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Hoilett, Camarasa, Mendez-Laing, Niasse.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

    Some United fans want city to beat them Wednesday night according to some so-called Fans.. Good luck next year I say...

      Modern day fans for you. Iirc back in 95, Pool beat Blackburn on the last day of the season even though it would've meant United won the title had they best West Ham. United lost anyway.

        I remember that day, I still couldn't route against Liverpool

        Interesting...
        You have very selective memory! What about 2010... Liverpool didnt play nothing vs Chelsea at home!

        I know...I know it hurts Anderson Chadwick Macheda etc have more titles than Gerrard... oh wait he doesnt have!

        1. goriuanx
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, that happened too. I would argue 2010 is more modern day than 1995. Don't let my point get in the way of your banter.

            I'm a Liverpool supporter and I'll be screaming for United come Wednesday.

              Well I was screaming for Liverpool in 2010 vs Chelsea... for nothing

                On today's evidence looks like I'll be doing the same for United.

    Best 3rd Liverpool option alongside Mane and Robertson ( not Salah who I can’t get)

    A TAA
    B Firmino

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Tough. TAA

    2. Over Midwicket

      Trent.

    3. Lovren an elevator
      • 9 Years

      I really like VVD, always good for a bap, plusbhe scores alot. People forget how many cos alot have been CL, or for Holland etc but he scores alot. And he's more nailed than TAA, otherwise I would obviously go TAA, Gomez fit again could affect his minutes. Klopp ain't dropping Robbo or VVD though

  4. nkhoughton

    Trippier/Eriksen > TAA/Mane

    Yay/nay

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Probably now. Just the first one. Juicy fixtures for Eriksen

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Go to go and save transfer and TC? Or take a -4 and get Salah and TC him?

    Ryan
    Doherty. TAA. Laporte
    Eriksen. Son. Mané(C). Sterling
    Deeney. Agüero. Jiménez
    (Foster, Duffy, Højbjerg, Bednarek)

      Lord Ryan and TAA today. Disappointed with Laporte, Kun, Doherty and Duffy

          I will when people stop winging!

    How old were you folks when you started playing FPL? Slightly less invasive question than just age, I hope.

      39. So age is making me shi+e at it. Wife, kids, work, study not helping either !

      1. Tev
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Haha yeah, I’m wondering what the optimum age is. Retirement age I’d imagine.

        1. GreennRed
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          It took me a while to learn the difference between good players and good FPL picks.

        Quality first two seasons mate. 10k in first season is unbelievable- fast learner.

        Love the range of ages, FPL is uniquely captivating. Bit like a lite, more fun version of gambling.

    5. Jealous Viper
      • 6 Years

      19. Third season

    6. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Started playing 6 years ago when I was 34.

      12 I think?

      1. Tev
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Youngest on here it seems, I started at 14 but was pretty bad for first couple seasons, just doing enough to beat my (also bad) friends.

    8. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I actually started playing about 20 years ago when it was just done by newspaper.

      Think I took it seriously and started playing online about 10 years ago. Played for 1 season then found this site and never looked back since.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        I'm 50 this year.

        1. GreennRed
          • 13 Years

          You're only a chap! I was 50 last October.

        The days before instant gratification. I imagine that was much more leisurely, so much info about nowadays it’s incredible, live rank website still amazes me.

          I lost interest after a few weeks, but at the time I was working 3 jobs as it was mid 1990's and I had just bought my first house a few years before, so I really had lots of other important things on my mind

          1. Tev
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Imagine being able to buy a house 😉

            1. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Yes, I feel for you guys coming up now. House prices are ridiculous.

              If I wanted to buy my house today I'd have no chance.

              1. Tev
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                A very depressing truth if I’m honest

                1. GreennRed
                  • 13 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Are ye both in London? Are there more and more living in countryside and commuting like the hordes here living outside Dublin?

                  1. Tev
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Devon, myself. Off to uni next year so house prices aren’t exactly a pressing issue for me, but it’s not like they’ll have gone down by the time it’s on my mind. Hope I don’t end up commuting to London every day, for what it’s worth.

                      Better quality of life on your days off although it'll probably be a bit sedate for your night's out if your just out Uni. No doubt Comrade Corbyn will fix the housing crisis and everything else by then! He has so many plans that man.

              Yeah mixed feelings really. I had a go at winning it but maybe should have not gone too diff too early.

      2. Tev

        I can’t imagine not playing FPL at this point, makes the entire prem schedule exciting.

        Same with me, I stopped following football for a couple years until last season when my friends invited me to play FPL and I'm glad they did

      11th season now - Starting young did take a toll on my history 😉

      1. Tev
        • 7 Years

        Yeah, playing at 14 did for me, but 8 is a proper excuse! Blimey.

    17. Tempestic
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Well it looks like I first starting using this account in 2010 which would have made me 9 at the time, can barely remember anything about it but I do have fond memories of picking my team based on players I liked with my dad. This is my first proper season playing and I'm enjoying the ride 🙂

      1. Tev
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Nice rank for a first proper season mate 🙂

        1. Tempestic

          Thanks man, I try my best

      2. Tempestic
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        My season history from when I was 9,10 and 11 doesn't look too good 😉 I started playing half way through last season when my friends randomly decided to make a league in gw10 and asked me to join, haven't looked back since really. Won the fantasy world cup also and they have all stopped putting money on it now 😛

        1. Tev
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Haha, similar here. I’m over 200 points clear in my ML because my mates are very bad. Wish I’d made it a cash league tbh.

          1. Tempestic
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Haha yep, last season when they asked me to build a team and put money in coz "it'll just be a bit of fun", I had no clue about football coz I had cut it out my life for a few years. So I basically just auto filled my team with random players, left 16 million or so ITB and then spent the next 5 or so gw's taking hits to bring my team to some sort of shape as I started learning all the players again etc. I then found out after taking almost 40 points worth of hits that there was such thing as a wildcard!!

    18. Ruudy Van
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It’s my 12th season and I’m 28 now.

      Started taking it a bit more serious when I got to uni and I’ve had 1 top 10k finish and 4 other top 30k.

      Been getting progressively worse post uni/having a job etc

      1. Tev
        • 7 Years

        Understandable, must be quite a clear correlation between free time and FPL success, especially with all the info out there nowadays.

      Hard to sell Vardy this week.
      A perhaps although TAA could be rested in one of the next 2.

      1. GreennRed
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Gomez hasn't his attacking threat and he's a way better CB than Matip so hopefully Arnold keeps RB.

      2. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        You reckon Trent will be rested ? I can see managed minutes but with the number of days between games I'm hopeful he can avoid rotation.

    2. QuintonFortune25
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. pol
      • 14 Years

      seems TAA is the way to go thanks for the advice!

  9. Nomar

    Was really considering not playing BB chip this week.

    My Bench: Lloris, Duffy, Deulofeu and Digne.

    Mighty glad I played it after all. 😀

    1. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Fair play. You got Deulofeu on a good day. He'll be magic if he gets more consistent.

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      That's what it's there for. Looks like another season in the Championship for us both 😥

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        At this stage I'm more than happy for QPR to stay in the Championship!

    3. QuintonFortune25
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Brilliant well done. I was similar with Ryan - Dunk - Bednerak - Hojbjerg. That Brighton clean sheet was huge for me

    4. Warby84
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Good work

  10. QuintonFortune25
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Moura is a good shout for the rest of the season? Got WHU, bou, EVE and looks fairly set to play minutes, especially with Champions League so the likes of Son or Alli could be rested.

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He's a quality player and if Kane stays out, then you'd think he'd get significant gametime. I've gone with Trip/Erik/Son.

    2. WVA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't get him personally

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Fair enough, how come?

    3. Tev
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, fresh having not played much so shouldn’t ended rotation. Also much better when Kane is out.

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

    A bit more optimistic as a Jimenez capper after arsenal's defensive display today

    1. WVA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Crazy if he doesn't even get an assist from those two games

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hmmm...I did Ryan->Leno and realised that there's a reason why I've ignored ARS ds all year. 😥

      1. THAT'S LIFE

  13. twoplustwo
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So... United City on Weds...

    1. LarryDuff
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mixed emotions everywhere, hopefully a decent game anyway

    2. twoplustwo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Weird their forum says they are Everton level when they’ve just been smashed

    3. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Surely Solskaer can inject some pride and fighting spirit into them.

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed, it's actually a great opportunity to bounce back. Even if we lose I'll be content with some passion, fight and hard work

    4. QuintonFortune25
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, United fan and Sterling captain, team over FPL always though of course

  14. LarryDuff
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Son starts v Brighton? Could win my ml pretty much if he outperforms jimmy

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Probably.

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Would have thought so. Two good reasons:
      1. Suspended for first CL leg
      2. Spuds need a top 4 finish.

    3. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He should. Out of Ajax first leg.

  15. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I was a bit spooked going into today with no Liv attack... lucky I guess

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You will possibly even further spooked when hapless HUD comes into town next week. 🙁

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        hopefully not as I will have Mane TC. spooked underrated word

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Not spooked without the Eg King? 😉

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I haven't any Lpool. They aren't harming me.

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Will you getting Liverpool attacker for 36?

  16. Emiliano Sala
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    which one ?
    A) eriksen + vardy --> salah + rashford -4
    B) eriksen to mane for free
    C) vardy to firmino for free
    D) fraser and vardy to mane and rashford -4

    *have Son, Moura, TAA, Robbo
    Thanks

    1. soup natsi
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Too early to even consider any of these transfers

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’m not too optimistic about bringing in United players and I’d keep Eriksen and vardy this week

  17. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry for the lazy post, but if this was your squad what would you prioritise for the rest of the season?

    Foster
    TAA Doherty Laporte
    Son Eriksen Sterling Jota
    Aguero Rashford Jiminez

    Lloris Duffy Dunk Knockaert

    1. soup natsi
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      a Liv mid

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looks pretty template. Pool attacker for Hudds.

    3. WVA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Getting Salah or Mane and Robertson

    4. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mane

      1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks all, I thought as much. Eriksen will probably need to go to make room for Mane I think

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          That’s what I’d be doing

  18. The Baby-faced Assassin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Have a question regarding h2h leagues if anyone can help? I'm in 2 leagues however I see gw36 fixtures in one of them but in the other I don't... Is that because it goes to the knockout Cup for the last 3 GW's? Therefore the h2h league standings are final after this week?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      One league goes for 38 games.
      The other is knockout Cup for top 8.

      1. The Baby-faced Assassin
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you for that!

  19. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Which keeper to play next gw?

    A) Foster
    B) Ryan

    Currently on Foster

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty close. Will decide after midweek.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Foster for me too

  20. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

    What a finish to the cricket!

    1. Amey

      You watch IPL ?

  21. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Hazard to mane for next week a no brainer

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Selling Hazard against a team conceding 4...

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        True

    2. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      i'd rather get rid of Eriksen

    3. QuintonFortune25
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Probably, let's see how he does this week and how United respond

  22. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How Mane and Firmino looks today?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino looking likely to score. Missed a sitter early on and had a couple more decent attempts

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Mane played well.

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salah says hi 😉

  23. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Duffy > VVD done.

  24. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Perreira to TAA no brainer?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not 100% nailed on but outside that, sure.

  25. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else not bothering with Salah next season?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Reckon most will start with Mane

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Last season started with Mane. Wrong
        This season with Salah. Wrong
        Next season ..

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on price. If around 11 I will consider him.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’m not, brought in TAA this week to go with Robbo and Mane. Might not even captain a Liv player

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Ignore this, thought it said next week lol

    4. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on prices and opening fixtures. At the moment triple Liverpool defence looks appealing

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This

    5. The 5% Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      really depends on price...I guess Salah will be bit cheaper and Mane bit more expensive than this year, so might be a difficult choice to start off the new season indeed

      1. rjcv177
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        10.5 mane
        11.5 salah
        12.0 sterling???

    6. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      African Nations in the Summer I believe.. may start with neither!

  26. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    In the members area, RMT tool is telling me to bench Jimenez and play Llorente even though Jimenez has higher expected points return? Am I missing something?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Llorente has something to play for

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Llorente rotation.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Llorente 3.79
        Jimenez 4.17

        B1 next to Jimenez?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          If Llorente was nailed, he would have a bigger score.

        2. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I think TM is saying that LLorente's estimated points of 3.79 factors in the risk of him not playing at all. So RMT is suggesting to play him, and if he gets benched, you get Jim's points.

          I'd play Jim.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Not really, Llorente as a sub is likely.
            If he starts, he's predicted to score more as West Ham have conceded 2 recently.

            1. Eddie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Then why is RMT suggesting to play him ahead of Jim?

            2. Eddie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Sorry, after re-reading I think we are actually on same page.

    3. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Forget RMT. Jimenez has been class. Llorente not had enough gametime to gauge. Perhaps it's reading Llorente's stats on percentage of low gametime v Jimenez full season?

    4. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Tends to happen with keepers because it assumes that the keeper is unlikely to play, but if he does he will do well - hence a low expected but a preferred pick by RMT as he's unlikely to cameo.

      Llorente, however, probably would cameo if he doesn't play, so I'm not sure why Jim would be marked as benched in this case...

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Potential if starts.

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          But then why suggest to start him, if likely score (taking into account reduced mins) is lower than Jims? Maybe RMT is broken.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Because it's the average of starting + subbing. Most subs = 1 for him bring down the average. If starting, an attacking return is predicted.

            1. Eddie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I understand the calculation, I think. But surely RMT should be suggesting to start Jim.

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 15 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                RMT goes off the 15 all starting.

                1. Eddie
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Ah, ok.

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all I’ll prob go with Jimenez anyway

  27. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    any danger TAA gets benched for HUD?

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Always that chance but that's what subs are for.

    2. Tempestic
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeh I reckon theres a decent chance, had a tough game today. Reckon Gomez will come in against Hudders just don't know whether it'll be CB or RB.

    3. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same question

    4. rjcv177
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Tactical reason only if Milner plays RB. against hud at home they dont need a more def option there

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with this lot?

    Ryan, Boruc
    TAA, Robertson, Bednarek, Lascelles, Duffy
    Salah, Son, Eriksen, Sterling, Brooks
    Jimenez, Murray, Wilson

    1,8 itb, 1 ft

  29. rjcv177

    5 years, 6 months ago

    Too early to ask for advice? Lolol

    A) kdb, vardy to pogba, firmino
    (Keep son+eriksen)

    B) kdb, eriksen to salah, deulofeu
    (Keep vardy)

    C) kdb, vardy to salah, ings

    Thkx in advance

    1. Sandy Ravage

  30. Tev

    Would KDB to Mané be a no brainer given negative injury news?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If confirmed, looks good unless you get leaked news on Friday.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes
