    Thoughts on Liverpool assets on fh? Although there are lots of things in their favor, they haven’t been defending well recently and have way less time between matches than Newcastle. There’s nothing to play for so do you think there could be rotation to give some youngsters some game time

      B seems good for a FT I'm thinking about Pulisic to Antonio, feel like Wolves D is sturdy enough to keep the score low. Mind you Willian takes pens

    Chasing someone with an 18 point lead and FH - and yet I think my one FH will be Sterling > KDB 🙂

    Not sure whether to captain him.

      You mean the other way round right? KDB to Sterling.

        Nope. I brought Sterling in last week but now feel he could easily get rested, & I don’t get the apprehension over Kdb at all! Need something different

          No chance he’s rested, i think that may just be wishful thinking perhaps there. KDB has gone off the boil, granted he could do well, but Silva will also start and that impacts a fair bit on KDB. If trying for something different, this isn’t the area to touch in my opinion.

            You may well be right. Trouble is I’m struggling to find anything that puts me in with a chance even if I do nail captaincy.

            Any suggestions (For my attack)? Got 1.2m

    Hi all.

    Who do you think will get more points this game week?

    1) Mahrez or KDB

      I should change the question really.

      1)KDB & Aurier
      2) Mahrez & Ings

        Oh that’s tough. But my hesitancy to say Ings would mean 1 🙂

    Morning DZ, what do we think? FH comes down to:

    A - Mahrez, Ings, Aurier
    B - KDB, Ings, Stephens
    C - Jesus, Martial, Stephens
