Ok chaps, what we thinking?

Ramsdale Dubravaka
TAA Rudiger Holgate (doubles) Tierney Dier
Salah Rapha Saka Ramsey Kulu
Kane Toney Jiminez


2 things that leap out (will have to gamble on 1 of those keepers playing!)


1) Rapha & Jimi to Havertz & Weigy -4 (Jimi suspended until week 34 (!), but Rapha has a couple of good games
2)Freebie Jimi to Richarlison

Who do I leave out of the 15, outside of 1 keeper, Ramsey and Toney?

Fantasy footy redcafe royalty, what say you?
@Dan_F @Moby @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Dirty Schwein @Cutch @Samid
What about freebie Jiminiz to Weigy?

Then you can assess. I say that because it's difficult to know who will play after an international break...

1: anyone from the bench that I should start?
2: worth a hit to do Coady to Cancelo?

Stones or Laporte?

Got a feeling one will drop out for Ake today with Atletico in the week.

Foden v Havertz
Livra v another cheap option I can’t find yet.
Keeper situation.

Any suggestions on the above for my wildcard? I’m struggling. Doing TAA to Robertson helps out a lot with funds but I can’t part with him after Klopp’s comments yesterday can I?

Torn between starting Dier vs Newcastle (H) or Broja vs Leeds (A). Any thoughts folks?

Yep, that's the freebie I've done.
The idea of costing myself 4 points, Rapha hauls and Havertz is benched is too much even for this season!!

Not for the first time I like your team, as I realise it'salmost identical to mine!!
I have an Everton doubler instead of Coady.

And like you a Tott defender benched.
While I can't leave a doubler out, Coady v Davies is the only debate I'd have with yours.

I just transferred Coady to Cancelo

The greatest team in history
Saw the Trent news before the deadline so my -4 became a -12. Got James and Robertson in for Cash and Trent. Tactical move to try and keep ahead in my cash leagues.

The triumvirate of Cancelo, Robertson and James will have to carry me through to the end of the season though. I won't be bringing Trent back in.

Ramsdale
Cancelo James Robertson
Salah (c) Kulu Gordon Saka
Watkins Kane (vc) Weggy

Subs: Foster, Maddison, Saiss, Amartey

Me

Ramsdale Foster
Cancelo Robertson James Saiss Amartey
Salah Saka Maddison Kulu Gordon

Him

Schmeichel Foster
Cancelo Robertson James Trent Tierney
Salah Saka Maddison Kulu Gordon

25 point lead for me now and a FH left. No chips for him.

Yeah Cancelo much safer and great in attack too, but Reece James the highest ceiling defender in the game.

As long as he plays 2 out of the next 3 I am happy with that.
Are you the guy that was trying to argue that Cancelo didn't have a high ceiling a few months back?

That's the huge problem late season isn't it. Very obvious templates emerge, so it's natural rivals will do very similar things.

I'm hoping a couple of Free hits are my route to snaking up my league's top 8.
£10 for 8th, but the figures quickly shark up.

Although in fairness, I'm league treasurer, so it never feels like I win anyway, as in reality all I'm doing is paying a little less out!!

I made the brutal mistake of selling Cancelo and absolutely reeling from it. I had a mind to do Trent to Cancelo now but just stayed off it. Bringing them back if you don't have a WC is a nightmare and a bigger nightmare going without them. Literally every point will tank your rank.

He has TAA, you don’t - he wins.

Ah well. Hopefully Liverpool concede and Robertson stays away from the points.

I said compared to most premium attackers yes. Also Chilwell, Reece James, TAA higher ceiling too.

Although yes he scored his only goal that week when I argued he is not in good positions to score most of the time.

Did Son > Salah (C) for a hit a minute before deadline. Removed armband from Kane. Disasterclass.

Well this wildcard is not going well :lol: I’m sure it’ll be fine long term, but it’s never a good feeling when you’ve scored less than last weeks team.
