            *granted

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Come on, you can only have max. 3 Liverpool players

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lets go Mo and Trent, haul!!!

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        if you didnt captain Salah you dont want him to score

  7. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If Elliott keeps on playing most weeks, he will be on some set pieces soon enough. He is very good at them

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      only if TAA is injured

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bench Antonio, save FT and float with this team next week?

    Sanchez
    TAA Marcal White Williams
    Salah Jota Raph Gilmour
    Ronaldo Lukaku

    Steele Livra Antonio Mendy

    1. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      think you might need to sell Mendy soon

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That's the 4.4m MID Mendy

    2. Daniyal
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      it'll give u more options
      u can then downgrade antonio and upgrade another position or vice versa

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Antonio's fixtures post United are great. But who would you recommend I get by losing Antonio?

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You can but two Norwich starters is a cause for doubt

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. But the only option is Antonio out.

    4. Skogen89
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you are gonna bench Antonio then you probably have to do mendy > shaw or something and start this guy

      1. Skogen89
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Aha never mind.. Not the prison mendy

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Hahaha. No. The 4.4 Mendy

  9. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I can't believe people are actually blaming Verstappen for that incident

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Its his aggression that is causing all the incidents. He didnt turn the wheel whilst trying to overtake on the inside

      1. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        he wasn't any more aggressive than he had the right to be today, Lewis squeezed him into T2 - and all would have been fine either (A) the sausage kerb wasn't there or (B) Lewis had given him enough width

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          How many corners are ok because Lewis knows how to use the brake pedal?

  10. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Robbo to play midweek too, Tsimikas @ home to CPA let’s hope!

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That would be lovely.

  11. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pushed the WC Button last night
    Pretty happy with it - 3/5/2

    GW-5 - 0.3 bank - WC
    Sanchez/Steele
    TAA/Alonso/Marcal/Duffy/Livramento
    Salah/Greenwood/Gallager/Gray/Sarr
    Lukaku/Ronaldo/Scarlett

    1. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good to me

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That looks like a very good team

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Doesn’t look affordable at first glance

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Well, looks like 3 heavy hitters + TAA & Alonso team with "enablers".

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It does with that dodgy midfield.

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

      Very different could work for you.

  12. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Liverpool team v Leeds Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott, Mane, Salah, Jota.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice midfield, that.

  13. fantasyfog
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Édouard the next bandwagon?

    A goal every 3 minutes

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Every 5 actually. Nearly twice as worse of a rate. Terrible.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hopefully with the Palace fans picking up the Celtic fans' habit of belting out "I wanna be EDOUARD" every time.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      180 points per 90. If he nails down a place, could be on for a 5,000+ point season.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Now that's what I would call 'essential'! 🙂

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If fixtures were one week better I might have gone for it

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Got him penciled in as my Antonio replacement a few GWs down the line.

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which is the better defence:

    A) Trent, Christensen, Kilman (or other 4.5 Wolves), Livramento, Williams

    B) Matip, James, Cancelo, Kilman, Livramento

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years

      • 12 Years

      No surprises

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Henderson missing out is a bit surprising

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          No, I reckon that's their strongest midfield, and indeed, Starting XI.

          1. Avery
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Feeling nervous with no Salah?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Harrison 😎

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hope he doesn’t play so far wide that he’s basically in the stands this week

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        On my bench - don't embarrass me, lad.

        First chance to get a good look at Firpo.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bielsa won't be trying to fit James, Harrison & Raphinha all into the same team for a while yet

      James will need time to learn the ropes of murder-ball first

  16. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Put these big hitters in priority order:

    A) Bruno
    B) Salah
    C) Kane
    D) Son (if fit)
    E) Ronaldo
    F) Lukaku

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    11. Cojones of Destiny

      EFB and rest

    12. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think Lukaku, Ronaldo and Salah are probably tier 1.

      Son, Bruno, Kane and KdB are tier 2.

      Mane, Sterling are tier 3.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years

  17. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Elliot shutting down Trents FPL threat again

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Isn't he allowing Trent to play more central?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Indded. He enhances TAA fpl-wise.

      3. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He is. More central and much deeper

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      How so?

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

      lets hope atleast Jota delivers if not Trent

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        this

    4. jackruet
      • 2 Years

      1. Tomerick
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

  20. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    got Bam and Trent what’s preferred outcome ?;)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1-1 with both scoring goals

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

      Bam haul, most have TAA.

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        if pool is to concede let it be from Bam

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on EO around your rank.

    4. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      in fact should’ve benched Bam and played Marcal :/

      You’d want Bamford to score for sure. Then hope TAA attacking returns

  21. WVA
    • 7 Years

    This will be 1-1 with goals from Raphina and Salah

      hope not

      1. WVA

        Same but that's the worst possible outcome for me which always happens when there's one game.

      1-1 if Leeds can contain them down their left side.

    PL and FIFA found a compromise and the Brazilians play. What does FIFA/Brazil get out of it? Has it been agreed that they do play in the 2nd international break? Will Raph and the other be missing for GW8?

    1. AC/DC AFC

      I guess some goodwill and they made a point.

      It's really a public health and government issue on quarantine.

    Couple of questions for you guys if you don't mind

    1) how was Jimenez yesterday? Worth investing?
    2) thoughts on Firpo? Good asset going forward?

    I've got a super thin bench and Antonio red and Webster injury have put me in trouble. Thinking the 2 of them for Jimmy and Firpo (-4) which I have exact cash for

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He may struggle today.

      I was watching Ronaldo so only read the report on Wolves. They still sound strong at the back and wasteful up top.
      I was excited about Firpo pre-season but haven't seen him yet. This is the first time Leeds' defence will be at full strength too, so I'll be watching them and Firpo in particular closely. In short, ask again in a couple of hours!

          The interview with Norwich manager on next page has this:

          “There were some tactical aspects. Against their unbelievably quick frontline we need pace in our last row. That was the reason to play with Andrew, one of our quickest players.

          That's the Omo lad.

    Raph starting on Bams right is new isnt it?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No. Harrison left, Raph right is the norm.

    hard to see how drifting centrally will help the FPL prospects of a player whose only talent is crossing a football

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bit harsh on poor Dallas, there.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      different crossing angle makes it harder for the crosses to be blocked at the first man. Crossing from a more central position is a lot harder to defend

      Well indeed

  28. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years

    The things I'd do for a Salah and TAA blank!

    1. jimmyharte
      • 6 Years

      Its very likely

  29. jimmyharte

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone hoping for a a big liverpool haul will be dissapointed. Leeds rarely concede more then 1 at home against top 6. Guarentee itll be 1-0 or 1-1.

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Unfortunately this is what I'm expecting at a triple Pool owner

  30. mojoindojo

    How's this Salah-less WC draft?

    Sa
    TAA James Dias White Livra
    Grealish Jota Saka Gallagher Bissouma
    Ronaldo Lukaku Bamford

    1. jimmyharte
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not that great. Saka doesnt get many points. Also dont be too reactionary with Gallagher look at his fixtures for the next 4 games. Jotas good for 1 or 2 weeks then hel be a rotation risk.
