Can FPL managers still rely on Liverpool assets for Double Gameweek 19?

SOUTHAMPTON 1-0 LIVERPOOL

  • Goals: Danny Ings (£8.3m)
  • Assists: James Ward-Prowse (£6.2m)
  • Bonus points: Ings x3, J Stephens x2, Bednarek x1

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Liverpool assets put in the worst possible audition for Double Gameweek 19 as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Monday night.

During their last Premier League match before they host Manchester United and Burnley, the Reds struggled to offer much in the way of attacking quality, continuing a concerning trend ahead of the upcoming mini chip season.

Over the three matches that followed the 7-0 win at Crystal Palace, Liverpool have scored just one goal and taken two points from a possible nine. Such an achievement is all the more discouraging considering they faced West Bromwich Albion, Newcastle and Southampton.

For the first time since May 2018, Jurgen Klopp’s men have now failed to score in back-to-back league matches, having found the net in each of their 21 previous outings.

“What was disappointing (about the defeat)? How long have we got? We were not good enough. It’s our fault, my responsibility, that’s it.” – Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool can hardly protest at their misfortune either as they failed to register a shot on target until the 75th minute when Sadio Mané (£11.9m) finally found some space to shoot but tested Fraser Forster (£4.0m) only with a low, scuffed effort.

That was the longest the Reds have had to wait for an accurate effort in a Premier League match since December 2015, 89 minutes into a 2-0 defeat at Newcastle two months into Klopp’s Liverpool tenure.

“We were dominant in the right areas, had the moments but then the decision-making was not that good. The last pass, we missed the last pass. I heard now we only had one shot on target; we had a lot of shots next to the target which we did not finish, but even with them we probably did not have enough for the moments we had. Our fault, my responsibility and that’s it.” – Jurgen Klopp

ALWAYS CAPTAIN… WHO?

Fantasy managers considering Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) for the Double Gameweek 19 captaincy are almost certainly having second thoughts in the break between Gameweeks 17 and Blank Gameweek 18.

After scoring 16 points as a substitute against Crystal Palace, the Egyptian has now blanked in each of his last three Premier League appearances.

That is the longest he has gone without an attacking return in 2020/21 and, against Southampton, there was very little in the way of straws to clutch at.

Most of Liverpool’s play went down the left-hand side through Andrew Robertson (£7.4m) and Mané on Monday night, their crosses into the box well dealt with by Jack Stephens (£4.6m) and Jan Bednarek (£4.9m) before they could get through to Salah. As a result, Southampton now have more clean sheets in the last four matches (three) than any other side.

Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.8m) also impressed in his handling of Liverpool’s left-sided attackers and in one of the rare moments where Mané got the better of him, the cross was just too high for Salah to get over it, his effort going over the bar.

Meanwhile, the right-winger’s link-up with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) was virtually non-existent as the Englishman had one of his worst games in a Liverpool shirt to date. He gave the ball away 38 times against Southampton, the most of any player in one match this season – and he only featured for 77 minutes before James Milner (£5.3m) replaced him.

So then… what now for Salah as a captain candidate in Double Gameweek 19? After all, Kevin De Bruyne (£11.6m) scored a double-digit haul operating as a false-nine at Chelsea and faces Crystal Palace and Aston Villa in that round.

Meanwhile, both of Bruno Fernandes‘ (£11.3m) Double Gameweek 19 matches are on the road, where he has produced 10 points per game this season.

And the other advantage they have over Salah is another chance to impress. It is clear that Liverpool have serious attacking problems right now but the only chance Fantasy managers will have to assess whether or not they have made progress in solving them is a third-round FA Cup tie against Aston Villa on Friday.

However, how much we will be able to read into that match remains to be seen. Considering the busy December schedule, which does not let up in January, Klopp and Dean Smith are almost certain to chop and change their teams.

As a result, potential Salah backers have only the last three matches to rely on for their captaincy decision – and they were not encouraging.

By contrast, De Bruyne and Fernandes both feature in Blank Gameweek 18 bringing their existing form into relatively appealing matches likely to allow for encouraging Double Gameweek 19 captaincy auditions.

“They are football problems; yes, we are worried about that but football problems you solve with football and that’s what we are working on. We know about the situation, we are not silly, and we have to show a reaction, 100 per cent.” – Jurgen Klopp

SITTING ON DEFENCE

Liverpool’s Monday-night defeat did not do wonders for their defensive assets ahead of Double Gameweek 19 either.

Once again, they were patched up in that department, Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) dropping into centre-back alongside Fabinho (£5.4m) in Joel Matip‘s (£5.4m) continued absence.

However, a lapse in concentration during an early James Ward-Prowse (£6.2m) free-kick from Alexander-Arnold allowed Danny Ings (£8.3m) to nip in and find the net.

“His finishing is quality but he works hard for the team too. It is important that he is fit and he’s back.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

Interest in Liverpool defenders had been relatively high for this game considering Southampton went three matches without scoring between Gameweeks 14 and 16.

They even came into Gameweek 17 with a number of key absentees including Alex McCarthy (£4.7m), Jannik Vestergaard (£4.8m), Oriol Romeu (£4.5m) and Che Adams (£6.1m) who missed out due to self-isolation, knee issues, a calf problem and concussion respectively.

“Oriol [Romeu], maybe one or two weeks out, so hopefully for the Leicester game he is back. Moussa [Djenepo], looks not so good. Che [Adams] is only out with a concussion, so hopefully also back as soon as possible.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

They even lost Moussa Djenepo (£5.4m) to hamstring problem during the first half, making way for 21-year-old Nathan Tella (£4.4m), but still had enough about them to absorb Liverpool’s pressure and stretch the visitors’ defence on the counter-attack in key moments.

“(Djenepo) had a bad injury history with his muscles. It was maybe a setback. I said to him head-up, he will come back strong and I tried to give him a lift.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

“We had so many injuries and still competed. I think the system works.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

Southampton XI (4-4-2): Forster; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Walker-Peters; Djenepo (Tella 32′), Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Armstrong; Walcott (Valery 82′), Ings (Nlundulu 77′).

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Fabinho, J Henderson, Alexander-Arnold (Milner 77′); Oxlade-Chamberlain (Shaqiri 57′), Wijnaldum, Thiago; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Is Gundogan a solid option going forward?

    Already have Dias and KDB and had been looking to add Cancelo for next few GWs but Gundogan outperforming most budget/premium midfielders last 4 matches

    1. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Highly doubt it - he's never been an FPL option before despite the odd game where he gets an attacking return. You're better off with a second defender I think.

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        +1

      2. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        +1, prefer Soucek, Saka or Neto

    2. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Are you on Transfer or Free Hit? I'm going Liverpool-less and got KDB, Sterling and KdB

      1. Dion D's Solo Shower
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Seems reasonable to get double-Kevin.
        Count me in!

      2. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        ha. double KdB.Sorry should be Stones, Sterling, KdB

    3. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      has he ever been

    4. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's been operating as a no. 8 in recent matches, getting into a lot of dangerous positions in and around the box, which has been great. He's a real threat there.
      It's just too hard to predict whether he will continue in that role, especially once Aguero/Jesus returns and City will play with a more conventional striker (i.e. not KDB or Sterling OOP). KdB may occupy the spaces Gundo would be getting into then, and Gundo may even be rotated more often.

      As always with any City player, there's a big upside and a big downside as well. It just depends on whether or not you want to take the gamble

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm highly considering taking a punt on him given where he's played most recently. I'll be doubling up with KDB naturally but it's Gundogan or Sigurdsson, and while I'm happy having Sigurdsson, Gundogan is a much cheaper option that will likely outscore Siggy if he keeps playing in that role and if City turn things on. If not, it'll be a 2-3 week punt that didn't work out but shouldn't be the end of me

    Afternoon gents... All set for GW18? Team built towards 18 + playing FH19.

    De Gea

    Dias, Dier, Holding, Mitchell

    KDB (c), Sterling, Fernandes, Son, Grealish

    DCL

    Subs: Button, Taylor, Brewster, Bamford

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      not ideal but the red arrow wont be huge

    2. Alan Sugar
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      looks good to me. No reason to think you wont gain rank 18 too, just need to dodge a Kane haul which isn't a stretch

    3. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good - incidentally, did you take any hits to get the team or none, or WC?

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Built with no hits since blank + DGW announced... I fancied FH19 over 18.

  3. PapaWengzz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Non-FH team, good enough? I have 1FT and 2.3 ITB to make a change.

    Martinez
    Stones Mitchell Lamptey
    Kdb (c) Bruno Son Grealish Neto
    Kane Brewster

    Considered Lamptey > Holding but that doesn't really serve any purpose after GW18 as ill be starting Coufal for 19 and Holding has terrible fixtures following that.

    If i dont use the FT, i can do:
    Son + Neto > Salah + Soucek for free for DGW19.

    Cheers

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      not good enough. use fh

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah? You think theres enough upside? I already have all the bif guns

        1. PapaWengzz
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Big*

    2. akashan99
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Do lamptey to dias and save the fh, dias has good fixtures beyond dgw19 and a good chance of cleanie vs brighton

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. No clear route to getting Salah back if i upgrade Lamptey though

    3. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      More than good enough, imo

    4. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not good enough as Lamptey is most likely out, and they are playing Man C. Brewster is a 1 point sub, so I’d change these two

  4. Tosa86
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    my FH draft for BGW18:

    Darlow
    AWB - Cancelo - Tierney
    KDB - Mahrez - Fernandes - Son - Neto
    Kane - Wilson

    button - holding - mitchell - brewster

    any suggestion??
    thanks

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i like it very much. put grealish instead of mahrez

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'd stay away from mahrez. Nothing but pain since I bought him 5 gameweeks ago

    2. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez will only bring you tears

    3. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wait to see if Mahrez plays in cup semi or FA cup & then decide - if you’d like Man C, watch to see if Foden is rested for those games

  5. kime67
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    even i could have earned southampton a clean sheet yesterday. I mean forster didnt have to do anything. Whats wrong at liverpool?

    1. Party time
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I woke up today expecting a big Pool win last night, having captained Salah.

        I am stunned... wtffff

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Love to see it

      • HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It’s very clear that Salah and Mane have stopped playing together
        No surprise that the 7-0 was earned when they played separately

        1. PapaWengzz
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          This, there were times yesterday when the could have passed to each other and it would have been a goal

        2. faux_C
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          This is complete nonsense.

          Team is dysfunctional because of all the changes that are needed to make up for all the centre-backs being injured.

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Those FH’ing are you bringing in Arsenal defender?
      Yet to keep a CS at home this season...
      Is it best to get Tierney / Holding or just avoid completely?

      1. Dion D's Solo Shower
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Get Tierney IMO.
        Threat going forward edges him over Holding

      2. Juza
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm getting Leno if Ederson still positive

      3. marcos11
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Gonna get Holding, decent price

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Have exact money for this FH... thoughts??

      De gea
      Yedlin Tierney Stones
      Bruno Smithrowe KDB Son Sterling
      Kane Wilson
      (4.0, Mitchell, Kilman, Davis)

      1. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Really nice. You BB or TC gw19?

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Bb I think if all goes well

          1. jayzico
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Then I'd downgrade Tierney to holding and get a keeper. I'd worry about Mitchell too

      2. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It’s a FH mate

    4. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Can field 11 for gw18 and got I think 14 for DGW - and I'm bench boosting gw19

      Martinez. Johnstone.
      Stones. Shaw. Cresswell. Clark. Pieters.
      KDB(c). Son. Sterling. Bruno. Souchek.
      Watkins. Lacazette. Bamford.

      Any change?

      1. liner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I would just looking to change laca and sterling to salah and one cheap striker for gw19 double. Still think Salah will be good. No chip needed. Good team for gw18

    5. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Guys posting again sorry

      Guys 2 ft Oly have 5 players for 18.

      Martinez *
      Robbo Dallas kwp balbuena lamptey
      Grealish *son* bruno* salah bissouma
      Kane *bamford Adams

      A) fh
      B) salah robbo Adams to kdb cancelo Watkins -4? And son and Kane to salah vardy gw19 for -4...

      1. Ian J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Okay to transfer out Salah, but why back when KDB has better fixtures for DGW & even better going forward & Salah has blanked in last 3 matches - waste of a transfer.
        Plus you can invest the price difference

    6. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I predict that Danny Ings will be the top scoring forward in this DGW.

      The reason? Leeds.

      Anyone else have any gut feelings of their own?

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        KDB 25+ points

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely has tempting fixtures, I'm pondering moving to him instead of Vardy for the DGW. Vardy has good fixtures too but nearly every time I've targeted Leeds fixtures it has worked out...

      3. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kane and Son will outscore many DGW players.

    7. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      First time I've considered going without Salah... and I like the look of it.

      WC 18, BB 19

      GW18 - 10 players

      Martinez (Fabianksi)
      AWB - Dias - Cancelo (Dallas, Cresswell)
      KDB - Bruno - Son - El Ghazi (Soucek)
      Lacazette - Watkins (Bamford)

      GW19 - 15 players x 2

      Son and Laca to Rashford and Vardy (-4)

      Martinez - Fabianksi
      AWB - Dias - Cancelo - Dallas - Cresswell
      KDB - Bruno - Rashford - El Ghazi - Soucek
      Vardy - Watkins - Bamford

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I did that in GW1 and still haven't recovered. Tread with caution.

      2. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        no Salah for a Double if extremely Brave, he will find form and goals

      3. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks both... just testing drafts at the moment, I can always do Son and Laca to Salah and Adams/Rodrygo instead.

      4. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Don't love the lack of Salah, but I'd be more concerned about the balance of the team going forward - £ looks spread v.thin.

    8. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For DGW:

      Kane, DCL and Grealish to
      Ings, Antonio and KDB for -8?

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        only if (C) KDB but Imagine you are

        1. Werner Bremen
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yes

    9. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ok Which 3 player combo is strongest for GW18?

      A) Stones Rashford Son
      B) Shaw Grealish Sterling

      I have Cancelo, KBD (C) & Bruno for reference

      1. McSauce

        Based purely on current form A

      3. Dion D's Solo Shower
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'd go A

        Nice patience btw

    11. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good article on the Athletic about how Liverpool are struggling without VVD, Gomez and Matip both in terms of building attacks from the back and in terms of threatening from set plays.

      I still reckon they'll turn it up a notch v Man Utd as they usually do v their biggest rivals and I think they'll also benefit from playing once in two weeks compared to three times for United. Still, the issues they have aren't gonna be easily solved and it makes it easier to go without them for the BGW/DGW I think.

      1. FPL Joker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think their stupidity in not signing a new centre back is unbelievable. Won’t win anything this year. Lucky to get top 4.

      2. Well you know, Triffic
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They may trouble United but Rashford and Martial will destroy their central defenders for pace. Also TAA is not great defensively and may be vulnerable with no central cover.

        Not saying United will win, but they are set up to hit Pool on the break.

      Stones or Cancelo ?

      1. NotsoSpursy

        Cancelo

      2. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cancelo is looking great, should have had way more returns and looks good for a start.

      Is it too risky to make the Salah/KdB sub now? Nervous about price changes

      1. grumpyman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        3 years, 2 months ago

        I’m doing that move today before the price changes as it looks like there’ll be a .2 price benefit. Don’t normally make early changes but if it all goes tits up I’ve got the free hit to fall back on.

        1. tbos83
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah - I'd really like to avoid using FH if I can (currently have 10 playing in gw18) but the price changes could be significant. Nervous that KdB will play in the derby this week and also obv about risks of covid. Tricky.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)

        I'm not sure whether to do this or not. I was happy before planning on moving KDB out last week to get Kane in against Leeds and then moving both Son and Kane out for DGW19 to get KDB back and Vardy. Now I'm wondering if I should just do this instead for now, I bought Salah at 12.3 so I'll still make 0.1 on that, and if by some chance he drops twice before their next game then I'd only be buying him at 12.4 while KDB will probably likely rise minimum twice by then, and Son looks to be rising too. But I'm worried I'll be tempted instead to go without Salah for a while again.

      This week cut down the lead of the person leading my mini-league by 24 points from 124 down to 100. So don't despair keep chipping away week by week and you can catch any score at this stage.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nice work! I was falling away in both of my main minileagues from hovering around 2nd and 3rd to around 6th to 8th for weeks but I'm now close enough to the top in all of them that I can keep chipping away if I keep having decent weeks

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True. I was 5th in my ML, 54 points behind the leader. i am second now, 15 points behind the leader.

      Dias or Cancelo ?

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cancelo all the way

      2. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cancelo on FH, Dias if Long term

        1. Dion D's Solo Shower
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          This

    18. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez
      Cancelo Mitchell
      KDB Bruno ESR
      Kane Filva

      Should I FH this team?
      Then I'd be having
      Wilson, Son, Rashford, Dias, Holding as the extra players

      I don't understand the Kwp love, he got given motm yesterday and this article says he played well.

      I must have been watching a different game as the left flank was wide open, with Mane and Robertson firing in crosses and passes at will.

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Literally all the attacks came from that side but he didn't give Mane much of a real chance

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        he had to cope with mane and robertson single handedly at times, they did fire in crosses but not always at the most optimal position as kwp prevented that. I thought he did well

      3. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I thought his one-on-one defending was incredible

      4. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You were watching a different game to me, thought he was brilliant in second half against robbo and mane

    20. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      All the people getting Spurs assets on their FH; I believe the only one to get is Kane. Villa will score and defend well. Kane can be the one to break that. being on pens helps for sure. Not an ideal game for Son or the defenders.

      1. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Watched the AVL vs BHA game where Villa dominated but they were too weak on counter attacks. I think the same thing is gonna happen and this is why i favour Sonny

    21. Kasper the ghost keeper

      Sell Salah or Mane for KDB?

      1. 2OLEgend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Mane surely

    22. Samwise
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      most nailed city defender?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Dias?

    23. Shark Team

      Any Nottingham Forest fans who have an opinion about their leftback Ioannou?

      Is it safe to FH now or should I wait for 5-6 days ?

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        depends if you can field your FH team even with 0.5 itb less. I will wait for weekend to pass, then hit FT

        1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'm waiting for more postponements

    25. h3nh3n

      current FH team

      Darlow (Martin)
      Yedlin Cancelo AWB (Mitchell Douglas)
      Sterling KDB Bruno Son Smith-rowe
      Wilson Kane (Brewster)

      thinking of removing Kane for Lacazette because of laca's recent form?
      Where to go from this?

            • 4 Years

            Yup, still considering. More than sufficient time till deadline...

      FH18 draft #3.
      Decent?

      ------------------------------------
      Steer | Brewster | Lowton | Mitchell
