That’s probably the luckiest goal and assist I’ll get all season.

The Kane and Son news is torture yet again, but a nice 12-pointer for Bednarek. So little between him and Vestergaard that it is difficult to understand how people think one is worth rises to £4.9m, whilst the other is still at £4.5m.
Bruno could be rested for midweek. It's a risk to make him a captain. KDB would be the safest bet.

Anyone tempted to try and squeeze all 5 of Salah-KDB-Bruno-Kane-Son in?
Pretty much impossible in reality I think. I’ve got Salah, KDB, Bruno and Kane which is already pretty difficult to make a balanced team with. Realistically I wouldn’t get rid of Grealish as he’s a definite season keeper imo, so would have to be the 5th midfielder (preciously Jota) but would require something detrimental like using Brewster as a playing 2nd striker or permanently going 4-5-1.

Edit - just seem your team above and looks good! Personally wouldn’t be getting rid of Grealish as I got him cheap and he has two double gameweeks, but Soucek is a good budget option. Defense isn’t terrible either, who would your subs be?

Subs are woeful :lol:. Kilman, Neco Williams and Davis from Villa

Bench is important. Saves you a lot of transfers and points. Last week i had 2 players out and it was not a problem. My friend who has bench like you, plays with 10 man every second GW and wasting lots of transfers (and penalty points)

Ha, yeah would avoid that mate. With COVID and the busy schedule you need a playing bench.

It doesn't feel like much of a step down at the minute with a bench of Lamptey Watkins and Kilman. Anything from 2 to 0 points usually. Feels nearly worth it to not have to worry about not having any of those 5 big hitters

Huh, all 3 are excellent subs. Maybe Kilman is a problem but if you play 352 then not that much. Watkins will score then and there and Lamptey is also good cover. Don't do it man. Don't play with bench with players who don't play at all

Grealish is a tempting to cut to get in another big hitter, especially as he has Chelsea, United, Spurs, probably City and Everton from GW 16-19, although two of those matches will be a DGW.

Very similar to mine.

Guaita
Zouma Lamptey Dallas
Salah Bruno Son Mahrez
DCL Kane Bamford

Vestergard Alzate Mitchell

Might remove Guaita this week actually with nothing else pressing. Martinez in early for the future doubles I guess.
Decent mate. Forza that front 3

Stinker. With Jota out, Ayling comes in with 1 point. Still so frustrating to see Martinez on the bench with 11 points and Meslier just 3.

My only other Liverpool player is Curtis Jones, I'm hoping for a miracle and for him to outscore Salah and Mane...

Oh feck off. Shouldn’t complain after the points I got from Son and Kane. But that was soft as shit all round

Missed the deadline and had Son was captained over Salah. Frustrating Salah got that pen, but could have been worse.

Perfect result, this. Salah (C) with a lucky goal, no clean sheets for those who still have TAA/Robbo, and points lost for Liverpool.

Exactly this.
Although unfortunately no bonus points so only a 14 pointer.

But Kane goal aside and -4 hit it was probably worth the risk in binning Ziyech into the mix for me.
If you don't bring Salah in you know he hits a 30 pointer today.

A guy at work had a Southampton triple up but Wilson as captain for 2 points!
No Salah either - so it all sort of evens out.

Lamptey is out for Brighton.
In comes a lovely 2 pointer from Coufal for me. Gameweek probably not as good as I was thinking it could have been yesterday, but unless Justin or Bissouma haul, I should gain another 15 points back on my mini league leader.
