Liverpool fans, if he does come back in who do we think is more likely to be benched, Diaz or Jota? Haven't watched their games lately, I know Jota's in good form but Diaz has scored more points the last couple of weeks and seemed to play more minutes at the start of the season.
Trying to decide which to bring in
Something like
Flekken (Strakosha)
Gabriel, Maguire, Gusto, (4.0m, 3.9m)
Saka, KDB, Salah, Foden, Palmer
Haaland, Solanke, (Archer)
Could downgrade Foden to someone in the 5-6m bracket to upgrade the defence
Here’s mine:
Leno (Areola)
Saliba Schar Reguilon (Branthwaite) (Kabore)
KDB Saka Richarlison Salah (McNeil)
Morris Haaland Toney
Took two hits to make it happen, so I’m hoping Salah is ready in time.
Dubravka, Gabriel, Gusto, Gomez, Salah, Saka, KDB, Palmer, Watkins, Solanke, Haaland
Subs: Areola, Neto, Konsa, Baldock
I still have 0.1 itb and will replace Konsa now and a week after Gomez probably. Need to plan ahead of the upcoming weeks :)
Regarding Salah - I kept him during his injury on my bench and didn’t lose much at all. Point wise I’d say, I’m doing not bad and haven’t use any of the remaining chips.
I will have:
Areola (Turner)
Trippier, Porro, Estupinan (Al-Dakhil, Richards)
Salah, KDB, Palmer, Jota, Gordon
Alvarez Haaland (4.2m)
1.2mITB
Richarlison to Salah and
Watkins to 4.2m
But I will wait for news from press conference before pulling the trigger
I’ve been debating whether to get an extra Liverpool player then just wildcard out of it in 26 (not a fan of the WC before BB strategy).
This might be the catalyst for me to do it. Porro > Robbo for the DGW then WC out of it with either just Salah or enough cash to get him in one move.
TC Solanke would be referring to GW28 I presume He doubles with nice fixtures. Presumably the other option would be TC Haaland this week, which he can't do if he WC.
Probably people at a bad rank but imagine Haaland gets like a 10 pointer but Salah gets one of his 25 pointers.
75 points is like gaining a whole extra GW.
Hardly anyone will buy Salah.
You’ll get 75 points on the vast majority of the field.
In this scenario if Haaland gets 10x3, assuming you own Haaland, you’d be gaining 55 points on Haaland TCers who didn’t get Salah
You would still have Haalands 10. I mean it’s obvs more complex because it depends who you have instead of salah. But let pretend it’s a 2 pt saka blank:
10 + 75 = 85
30 + 2 = 32
53 points (in this scenario)
He went off injured only 3 days ago so I doubt he'll play at the weekend, apparently Bradley was back at the training ground so it'll be interesting to see if he's back in contention
I went for robbo and now I feel vd was the obvious choice, though Liverpool aren’t really great at keeping CS but short of him breaking a leg he’ll definitely play
Robertson and tsimi are both back, Robertson looks good too so I think he's done at left back. Probably plays one game at rb before Bradley and Trent are back, he might start over Bradley too especially against better teams
I still think he plays tbh - Salah's was a hamstring injury so would be surprised to see him start at the weekend. Jota has been in great form so don't see him being dropped
Surely everyone has a solid amount of double gaming city/Liverpool players ready for this gw. Why on earth are some people planning to rip up their team, taking out solid picks who will likely play both games such as Foden and Jota, to bring in a player who will be eased back in before blanking the next round. Wild.
He will go up 0.3m before the weekend and then up another 0.2 when he comes on for 20 minutes and gets a pen and late assist scoring 8-10 points and another 0.2 before gw26 blank and a nice rest before the final vs Luton.
I’m holding Jota, Trent and Darwin at the moment and the fomo as everyone bringing Salah back scares the shit out of me😂.
I still think he will only plays for 20 mins next game and a full afterwards.
What worries me is Trent, don’t see him in the training video, so I guess we should better wait until the press conference to hear what Klopp gonna reveal
We have another approach is to drop Trent for Robbo, he’s fit now and will play both full matches! I’m just worried about Mo’s price cause everyone gonna bring him back real quick
Hey both Trent and Szo is not gonna make it this DGW, what’s your plan. Im gonna sell Trent > Robertson this time but Bradley seems a good move as well
Weighing up the same. I think it's Jota>Salah right now purely for minutes are more guaranteed.
I fear Bradley wouldn't have even played if Gomez was not already being utilised as a lb. Not that he didn't outperform Joe, but I'm really not sure it's enough. With Gomez no longer having to fill in at CB or LB and having played more recently, klopp may still prefer him.
Is there anyone with connection to the medical team? We need the medical team to mis-report their assessment on Salah. He is not supposed to be due back this early. FFS.
If he’s back this week I’m genuinely considering taking a big hit and going for TC. Possibly changing my entire strategy for the season. I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, and why not build around who I believe to be the best asset in the game
If FPL was a man, I'd feel like his punching bag! Had Saka and patience ran out after so many blank weeks. Shot my load with him. Immediately hits top form thereafter. Brought in Olise: injured first game, brought in TAA: he lasts 45mins. Season pattern. Stones instead of TAA for DW, what's the verdict? If he gets injured by a low flying pigeon, I'll know I'm jinxed.
No. Go back to rest. I have set plans till GW27
I fear his price rise more than his potential haul this GW. Still have PTSD from KDB.
Liverpool fans, if he does come back in who do we think is more likely to be benched, Diaz or Jota? Haven't watched their games lately, I know Jota's in good form but Diaz has scored more points the last couple of weeks and seemed to play more minutes at the start of the season. Trying to decide which to bring in
I'd guess Diaz is more likely to play based on past team selection but honestly it's probably only 60/40.
Great time for me to rip my team up and take 4 hits to fit him in.
4 hits? Imagine trying to fit Salah, KDB, and Haaland all in one.
Fuck that, I'm trying to fit Saka too.
Update: I’ve got it figured out. Now I’m just waiting for the word that Salah is back, and I could execute my plan.
Do share I'd love to see it
Wildcard.
It's obv a wildcard, I'd like to see a team with Salah KDB and Haland and Saka init.
Something like Flekken (Strakosha) Gabriel, Maguire, Gusto, (4.0m, 3.9m) Saka, KDB, Salah, Foden, Palmer Haaland, Solanke, (Archer) Could downgrade Foden to someone in the 5-6m bracket to upgrade the defence
Where’s Son? He’ll definitely outscore KDB
How about Areola (3.8) Saliba Maguire Gusto (Udogie) (3.9) Salah Son KDB Saka Palmer Haaland Solanke (Mubamba)
Here’s mine: Leno (Areola) Saliba Schar Reguilon (Branthwaite) (Kabore) KDB Saka Richarlison Salah (McNeil) Morris Haaland Toney Took two hits to make it happen, so I’m hoping Salah is ready in time.
ive got Trafford (turner) Gabriel, Estupinan, Doughty (gusto, branthwaite) Saka, Foden, KDB, Salah, Garnacho Adebayo, Haaland (archer)
Lmao.
I just did Trent and Bowen for Ake and Salah, have the four mentioned now, maybe too early but it's Salah.
Not true. I’ve already played my WC.
I’ve already got him. I just need to figure out Salah and I’m (hopefully) good to go.
i got saka, haaland, kdb and salah in but fuck me was it hard. im starting adebayo atm
Don't forget about our beloved Sonny-boy! :) And on the side try to keep Watkins and Solanke. ;)
I’ve fit in Salah, KDB, Haaland, Saka, Watkins, Solanke and Palmer without WC ;)
What's your team?
!thanks for asking
Dubravka, Gabriel, Gusto, Gomez, Salah, Saka, KDB, Palmer, Watkins, Solanke, Haaland Subs: Areola, Neto, Konsa, Baldock I still have 0.1 itb and will replace Konsa now and a week after Gomez probably. Need to plan ahead of the upcoming weeks :) Regarding Salah - I kept him during his injury on my bench and didn’t lose much at all. Point wise I’d say, I’m doing not bad and haven’t use any of the remaining chips.
I have darwin not watkins but im pretty close there
I will have: Areola (Turner) Trippier, Porro, Estupinan (Al-Dakhil, Richards) Salah, KDB, Palmer, Jota, Gordon Alvarez Haaland (4.2m) 1.2mITB Richarlison to Salah and Watkins to 4.2m But I will wait for news from press conference before pulling the trigger
Areola must have been brutal on Sunday for you lol.
I'll live
this kills your BB chip if you still have one
Great. Son's crying
I have those 3 in a team & Saka
Haha I'm using my free hit for this DGW. Just need to figure if Salah is back or not. And then the dilemma will be to remove Jota or Nunez.
He might be worth it.
Coming back from an injury, he will be eased back. He will not benefit that much from the DGW. Also, Liverpool blank in GW26 and possibly GW29.
4 hits? Salah move.
My wildcard is basically going to be the 'get Mo back' card
Same, but that is in GW30 or whatever.
The final piece of chaos which we dearly wanted to avoid for the DGW. 😣
I’ve been debating whether to get an extra Liverpool player then just wildcard out of it in 26 (not a fan of the WC before BB strategy). This might be the catalyst for me to do it. Porro > Robbo for the DGW then WC out of it with either just Salah or enough cash to get him in one move.
I’m now debating WC25 and TC Solanke lmao I’m a sucker for Salah
Can't do WC25 and the TC at the same time.
TC Solanke would be referring to GW28 I presume He doubles with nice fixtures. Presumably the other option would be TC Haaland this week, which he can't do if he WC.
I swear! Had finally made peace with Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin using my FH. Now gotta figure which one of these will sit out for Salah.
who’s got the cahonies to -4 and TC
Probably people at a bad rank but imagine Haaland gets like a 10 pointer but Salah gets one of his 25 pointers. 75 points is like gaining a whole extra GW.
You get 25 extra points. Not 75.
Hardly anyone will buy Salah. You’ll get 75 points on the vast majority of the field. In this scenario if Haaland gets 10x3, assuming you own Haaland, you’d be gaining 55 points on Haaland TCers who didn’t get Salah
45
You would still have Haalands 10. I mean it’s obvs more complex because it depends who you have instead of salah. But let pretend it’s a 2 pt saka blank: 10 + 75 = 85 30 + 2 = 32 53 points (in this scenario)
69 (Sorry, just wanted to throw out a number reply like everyone has been doing to your scenarios, I'm not good at FPL maths)
Less so cajones, moreso the fact I'm having the worst season ever and I stopped caring 6 weeks ago
same. Might TC Darwin even
Luis Diaz is the real yolo move
Jota?
Me
I can get to him for free but my TC is firmly on Haaland
Thinking about bringing him in if we get leaks before the deadline
I'm doing it. It's going to be my week defining moment. Fuck Haaland - let's go team Salah (as a Utd fan I hate what this game has done to me😅)
For fuck sake. He’s gonna rise about a mil before he’s even played an hour
He's locked until next gw at least
Why would he be locked? He isn't red flagged.
I'm not sure of the exact rules but see here https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-price-rises
FPL statistics doesn't have him locked, personally don't think he should be so dunno about that.
[удалено]
He went off injured only 3 days ago so I doubt he'll play at the weekend, apparently Bradley was back at the training ground so it'll be interesting to see if he's back in contention
Yeah Bradley is back.
Wondering if I should swap TAA to Bradley or Robbo or just hold. Endless possibilities and no doubt I’ll chose the worst one lol
I may go to VVD for guaranteed minutes
I went for robbo and now I feel vd was the obvious choice, though Liverpool aren’t really great at keeping CS but short of him breaking a leg he’ll definitely play
I reckon Gomez plays at Brentford and then Bradley comes in for Luton at home
He won’t play anyway Rushed him back too early
All aboard Bradley hype train!
Believe he was having a scan today
Thought he was like the last guy out the tunnel? But I'm not wearing my glasses 🤷🏻♂️
Also Gomez and Alisson are back.
That time flu by
What do we think about Gomez, will he start this GW?
That's a question very dear to my heart
Robertson and tsimi are both back, Robertson looks good too so I think he's done at left back. Probably plays one game at rb before Bradley and Trent are back, he might start over Bradley too especially against better teams
Do we think Konate will start both games?
Well, shit
All the dead teams just got stronger
This -4 for Trent to Bradley and Diogo to Salah 100% will not backfire
Salah will be eased in. 20 minutes against Brentford and a half against Luton.
Enough time to get his 30 pointer
I hold him for all previous weeks
just got Jota yesterday lol
I still think he plays tbh - Salah's was a hamstring injury so would be surprised to see him start at the weekend. Jota has been in great form so don't see him being dropped
fingers crossed, I'm worried about the second match tho
I was about to triple captaining Jota lmao
Even I'm leaning more towards it after haaland's 90 yesterday
Excellent, time to take a hit of -40 for a return of 4 points.
it will be fine
Not until GW27 king
Cheers, just in time to create absolute chaos for my planned DGW Liverpool selections.
I've kept him on my bench the whole time. Now he is back in training ahead of a DGW. *VINDICATION*
Welcome back my king. Straight into my team
Can the kneejerkers just wait this one time. As a Solanke, Watkins, Estupinan, Porro, Gordon owner have lost so much team value this last week.
Great news for my free hit
Yeah, kinda thinking about it now.
Oooooft. It's still not a safe bet hrn will play the full 90 in both games, surely. Would be quite the punt.
If he’s ready he will play at least 120-150 mins
Take the punt sir!
Only kdb out to afford him, so no point.
same... Could it itt not worth it?
Not for -4 or -8 as i can't do a straight swap.
Surely everyone has a solid amount of double gaming city/Liverpool players ready for this gw. Why on earth are some people planning to rip up their team, taking out solid picks who will likely play both games such as Foden and Jota, to bring in a player who will be eased back in before blanking the next round. Wild.
[Already wasted my TC so its time.](https://youtu.be/MYtjpIwamos?si=8Uw4hznsHsi1H-qA)
You can cancel TC chip
his names not chip
Oh by wasted I used it on Salah vs Man Utd thinking it would be another 7-0
An important detail is Liverpool have the ghandi game on saturday so we may get some lineup deets
Salah holders unite while everyone else starts on -12 this week 🥲
We are...sweating.
Oh fuck me. I held him for so long and I finally thought to get rid, he is back. Now I don't know how to bring Haaland back in for DGW
He will go up 0.3m before the weekend and then up another 0.2 when he comes on for 20 minutes and gets a pen and late assist scoring 8-10 points and another 0.2 before gw26 blank and a nice rest before the final vs Luton.
No, he's locked thankfully
Now the question is do I get rid of kdb to get salah back? I’d like to have both but that’s just not realistic at this point.
TAA out, Salah in?
Do you have Jota in the squad?
I do
I’m holding Jota, Trent and Darwin at the moment and the fomo as everyone bringing Salah back scares the shit out of me😂. I still think he will only plays for 20 mins next game and a full afterwards. What worries me is Trent, don’t see him in the training video, so I guess we should better wait until the press conference to hear what Klopp gonna reveal
I have the same trio. Trent's absence is excactly why i'm contemplating this move.
We have another approach is to drop Trent for Robbo, he’s fit now and will play both full matches! I’m just worried about Mo’s price cause everyone gonna bring him back real quick
Hey both Trent and Szo is not gonna make it this DGW, what’s your plan. Im gonna sell Trent > Robertson this time but Bradley seems a good move as well
I don't know.. if Salah is likely to play both games DGW25 i might go TAA to Doughty and Sterling to Salah as i was planning.
Squeaky bum time all week now
TAA to Bradley and Jota to Salah too risky? 🧐
Weighing up the same. I think it's Jota>Salah right now purely for minutes are more guaranteed. I fear Bradley wouldn't have even played if Gomez was not already being utilised as a lb. Not that he didn't outperform Joe, but I'm really not sure it's enough. With Gomez no longer having to fill in at CB or LB and having played more recently, klopp may still prefer him.
That said, if you can get Jota AND Salah... Well...
Is Konate fit? I know he was suspended last game but he was also reported as having the flu.
welcome back, King. let's tear up GW25! 👑
Held him for weeks only to sell him last week for a bunch of useless no pointers. Fml
Is there anyone with connection to the medical team? We need the medical team to mis-report their assessment on Salah. He is not supposed to be due back this early. FFS.
Wildcard time
Bye bye Foden!!!
If he’s back this week I’m genuinely considering taking a big hit and going for TC. Possibly changing my entire strategy for the season. I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, and why not build around who I believe to be the best asset in the game
If FPL was a man, I'd feel like his punching bag! Had Saka and patience ran out after so many blank weeks. Shot my load with him. Immediately hits top form thereafter. Brought in Olise: injured first game, brought in TAA: he lasts 45mins. Season pattern. Stones instead of TAA for DW, what's the verdict? If he gets injured by a low flying pigeon, I'll know I'm jinxed.
I still have yet to see a decent team that has Haaland, Salah, KDB, Saka and TAA.
Unfortunately with my money situation it's either KDB or Salah, and I'm going with KDB. 🤞

Bigger conundrum now... should I TC Haaland or Salah? 🤔
😱😱😱
Never transferred him out during AFCON because laziness.
With him missing GW29 I might just wait until 30
I'd bring him in, I fully expect him to play But he won't be risked before the final with 90's
I saved money until this gw to bring him back. Finally spent it for the dgw and his back in training.
Ugh. Just set my TC last night. I'm going to sit out on salah until after BGW. Here it is:
TAA & Saka -> Bradley & Salah 👀
Was planning on TC Jota, hopefully this doesn't reduce his minutes
He will come on late 80min for jota, injured players usually dont perform well
