Pretty sure Sterling & Salah won well over 400 pts between them last season. It's almost essential to have 1 of them in every game week.

I've taken Salah out this game week and the only players I had in mind was 1 of either KDB or Mane, opted for the latter.
They did. I am pretty sure it’s possible to win a league without them though, having done almost exactly that last season.

I've had a mare. Forgot their was a match today and didn't sub Matthew Ryan to the bench. Going to be slaughtered. Also forgot to put Jota back in the team after his week.

Ryan (Lloris)
Wan Bissaka, Laporte, Van Dijk, Ake (Diop)
Pogba, Mane, Jorginho, Perez (Dendonker)
Rashford, Kane (Jota)

Nice. Very similar to mine.

I've gone Firmino and Pukki instead of Mount and Rashford and gone 4/3/3 but have Cantwell on bench to make a 343 in future games if I wish.

Yeah i had Pukki but i think Rashy will be on pens now which should give him an extra 5-6 goals this season.

Mount and Cabellos are my punts. Think i'm gonna rotate Kane and Auba with the change i have spare.

FFS I'm fed up of Everton, they always have a decent team on paper, but they're actually shit for FPL. So disappointing.

Only player worth having is Digne because of his attacking threat / set pieces.

Moise Kean will probably be worth a punt too once he's match fit.

Sigurdsson gone for me. Replaced by Maddison. Impulse transfers are the best.

Siguardsson going out for Lanzini barring any injuries.

Fair enough. I just prefer to have a lot of good players in there rather than a top heavy team. I did it last season to a large extent too, never had Salah, and won the league over people who had him without any problem. I had Sterling in for maybe a third of season.
How many points did you have last season out of interest?
Winning a league obvs being relative to who is in it, and numbers.

Didn't even consider any Everton players. Not even for a second.
They flatter to deceive year in year out.

Just changed King for DCL. Also i have Richarlison in my team. Such a waste..
Why the heck would you ever have DCL?!
He's absolutely pony, and maxes out at 8 goals a season in 40-45 games.

Don’t remember. Wasn’t much. Definitely 20+ less on average than most people on here. We did have a lot of internal rules though, and still do e.g. designated player only one participant may have, or only two players being able to have the same players which probably brought it down somewhat, e.g. I couldn’t get Mane for half a season because of it. I think my average per game was around 57

El Ghazi offset Sigurdsson’s another terrible performance.

I thought Kean would be bound to start tonight, so I made the classic mistake of sticking with him, despite it being an error from the beginning.

At least Heaton got a clean sheet I guess.

Who should I have as CB Liverpool fans? Gomez or Matip? I've currently got Gomez but he was benched last week for Matip.

@B20 @Stanley Road
Hard to say, they've been rotating a bit.

I'd pick gomez since he is just as likely to push TAA out of the starting lineup against a side like arsenal.
