If we're honest, that is an absolutely f*cking amazingly balanced team.

Mine is exactly the same as yours except I had Maguire. VVD is fast so I actually think he’d be a great partner for Harry and that team would concede zero goals from corners :lol:

The only controversial pick for me was Pogba over Henderson or Thiago. I wanted Thiago for his threaded balls to Bruno or Henderson for his ground covered and general consistency/leadership BUT I couldn’t overlook Pogba’s natural talent. With those runners up top and Fabinho beside him, he’d be more like the Pogba for France IMO.
Overall, mainly Liverpool players, which is fair because they are a better team than us.

This but with Rashford instead of Cavani, and Thiago/Fred in for Pogba if he's in a mood.

Fred (yes, Fred, not Thiago because Thiago showed nothing so far in PL)
Bruno
Salah
Martial
Rashford

I have 2 dilemmas. Bailly/Lindelof but went for Lindelof because i think that with VVD he would be great. And second dilemma is Cavani/Martial. Love Martial but Cavani is true no9.


Edit; so much love for Alisson here:(

I would actually disagree. Fernandes and Firminho would almost take the same positions. I would just be tempted to put Genie or Thiago instead of Bobby.

Maguire - Van Dijk would be a superb pairing. When Van Dijk is out it´s Maguire Bailly by some distance, while I´d say they have better fullbacks. Although Shaw is not far behind the best defensive fullback in the league this season.

Midfieldis ours - Fred - Bruno - Pogba, Fabinho not far behind Fred though.

Front three is Salah- Mane easily plus Rashford - maybe not in the best form but playing out of position lately but still providing goals/assists.

When you look at Scousers on the teamsheet, it ives you an idea, where our weakness is.

Assuming everyone's on top form. Right now, I'd probably play Rashford up front, and Pogba over Thiago in the middle. Lindelof/Bailly (probably Bailly for the added pace) filling in for Van Dijk.

Alexander-Arnold's been below par too but he still gets in over Wan-Bissaka.

Only picking from those available this weekend, so no Van Dijk/Gomez (both get in otherwise), and using current form if the players are pretty close overall (Pogba/Thiago, Rashford/Mane, Firminho/Martial).

TAA Bailly Maguire Robertson
Fabinho Pogba
Salah Bruno Rashford

Allison, TAA, VVD, Maguire, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Bruno, Salah, Mane, Cavani. Would win the league with ease.

This is identical to mine save for I had Maguire rather than Bailly. Didn’t feel I could leave Rashford out, although I’m not sure that front three would work that well together in reality.

VVD also plays on the left side of Liverpool central defence, so Maguire can shift to what I would assume to be his preferred right side

------------------------------Allison------------------------------
TAA----------Maguire------------VVD------------Shaw
-----------------Fabinho---------Thiago--------------------
Salah---------------------Bruno-----------------Rashford
------------------------------Cavani-------------------------------

Subs: De Gea, AWB, Robertson, Bailly, Gomes, Mane, Pogba, Henderson, Martial (more versatile than Firmino)

Seeing as TAA is so attacking, I have Shaw (who is equal at both ends of the pitch) to give more balance. If I had gone with Robertson I probably would have picked AWB. Salah, Bruno and Rashford was really a no brainer for me. No offense to Mane, but I'd take Rashford over him any day of the week. I may be a bit biased though. Up front was the tough call. You won't find many Liverpool supporters who will trade in Firmino, and I really like how good Martial is with his hold up play, but the thing that made me pick Cavani was his all around play and his off the ball movement (something Martial really needs to improve on)...
