I’m not sure if we are going to turn up or not. But how many goals does Salah have against us? One?
The season they won the league he scored a last minute goal to for them to win 2-0 at Anfield. Believe he got one or two against us in the FA Cup last season at OT. That may be it though.

Have to just go on form. 83 points so far this season in FPL is mental. You could be right of course but Man Utd are still all over the place - Ole.
So Salah roll of the dice im going.

Ive considered it myself and it could be the one that all of FPL Twitter and everyone else could be missing.
Go for it if you feel its right.

Don’t. His recent record in big games is awful. He’s a flat track bully and will very likely blank in this game.
Ya, it's so risky but either him or Salah, and can't bring myself to want Salah to score against us.
Just have a feeling that we might get a result against Liverpool. A dodgy penalty or something.

Last second thought. Havertz in for Foden for a -4? Does not feel worth it, but if Pep is a fraud like he usually is then I could be fecked.

Ended up wildcarding:
Raya
TAA, Cancelo, Dias, Rudiger
Salah(v), Havertz(c), Raphinha
Kane, Toney, Broja

Foster, Mbeumo, Livramento, Normann.

More than anything I hope Antonio stays quiet this week. I don't trust Spurs' defence in the slightest.

Okay, so Saka starts and is first on my bench. Will be fuming if Jimenez comes on as a sub in injury time again.

If you think Ronaldo, that's Ronaldo... is a flat track bully, then who on earth in football history do you think isn't?

Hasn’t he got the most CL goals ever, the most in CL semis and the most in CL finals?
He said recent record. Last season in Serie A he was more of a flat-track bully than Lukaku, who himself isn't exactly a man for the big occassion. 36 year old Ronaldo isn't peak Ronaldo.

Ooh my mate sold Saka.

My squad at best do bare minimum. Just got to hope Norwich wins. City-Brighton 0-0 and United smashes Liverpool, but Salah still scores a goal.

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...

I honestly think it's one of those buzz phrases people don't understand the meaning of.

Last season Ronaldo scored away to Barcelona in the champions league, and scored in the semi final of the Coppa Italia, and the winner in the Supercoppa Italia.

He scored against title winner Inter too.
Seems like a cross section of big enough games to me.

Wow Havertz already 40% owned in top 10k.
It feels like most of those who wildcard last week have been tripped up, because we’d all have had to take an unplanned hit for him and for many people that would mean removing Foden too. I definitely fear Havertz this week.

Yeah a fair amount wildcarded him in I guess or pretty much everyone that did wildcard.

Havertz is the guy I fear the most. My brother also got him in our friendly draft league.
I am like 70 points ahead and he is 4th, but his team is looking better now with Kane, Havertz, Chilwell.

But what I meant was that the template wildcard last week was not structured in a way where you could bring in a replacement for Lukaku and Havertz in a satisfying manner for even a -4. A lot of people wildcarded last week, but it seems it is lots of people who didn’t who have managed to get Havertz in.

Agree I was 0.2 short to get him. I did wildcard far too early and it has been a disaster.

People with Jota,Greenwood had an easy transfer to make I guess.

I would guess a fair chunk of the people who brought Havertz in captained him as well, so that's probably stretching his EO in the top 10k.

Yes you are right. He is actually only owned by around 25%. Still a lot in a week, but people at the top probably are quite updated with injuries and who might be nailed etc.
