Klopp is learning from Pep, captained Mane last week, he benches him then brings him on for a couple of minutes, denying me vice captain.
This week he benches Jota

Yeah made the same decision too. Only thing is the midfielders getting extra points.
Salah is the template FPL player really, always hammers the weaker teams it's a risk not having him in your team.
And that's the final piece of the Salah-Kevin-Bruno trifecta returning. Sweet.
Think it waa a good move to keep him after his covid +. So many transferred him out now struggling to bring him back.
Salah has to be a massive rotation risk against Fulham, they play Spurs three days later.
Worth bringing in a Spurs defender? Dier is the only one I can reasonably afford.
I am in the top 2% in the rankings, quite proud of myself as it is my first season. Just brought in Giroud for Brewster as I think he will take Abraham's spot in the starting 11.
In terms of value for money, quite fancy Conor Coady, Oriol Romeu and Mason Greenwood.
Is any one here ranked within the top 10k managers?

Invites a very difficult captaincy situation each week. But is a good cover.
Helps when they take turns playing Fulham in consecutive weeks.
They do have a dead rubber game this midweek to rest him I suppose.

If Ziyech hadn't got injured I'd probs agree! But he has to go now, so that might be the way to get him in.
Mo(re) Salah returns.
It's horrible not having him.
Think i'm going to risk this -4 and get him back in. Have been ignoring Bamford for too long too.
Trent back in?
Very hard to choose the best three from Salah, Bruno, KDB and Kane.
Actually toying with squeezing them all in but don’t love the rest of the team

The 3 mids look pretty essential right now. As you can probably pick from cheaper options up front to try and cover Kane more.
Although you could say you could use Son to cover the 3.
Difficult.
Moving De Bruyne to Salah is an option - when we shut City out next week
But then they'll probably batter West Brom the next week while Salah may have a harder game v Tottenham.
So you do keep rotating 2 from 3 or do you just bite the bullet and get all 3 and set and forget?
Hmm. Going to be a high scoring week with KDB and Salah hauling. Thank god Vardy (C) got that last minute goal, otherwise my week would be absolutely fecked!
Jota has to go. Getting Kane is easier for me than getting KDB as I will not let Salah, Bruno, Grealish or Son go. Son is the only one I would maybe allow to go but I need one of him or Kane.
Salah with 14 points, same as Kevin so I don't have to feel bad about captaining the Belgian.
Guess that's around 65 with Adams and Lamptey tomorrow. Alright score with 10 men.

Sitting on 68 before bonus, with one still to play. Not bad for 10 men

Yeah exactly. There’s some good value in midfield as well as attack this season.
I’ve built up a high team value and Salah / KDB / Bruno is very easily done... but ultimately it comes down to whether you want to lose Kane (or squeeze all four in which I think is probably too much). I don’t think it’s an easy decision at all as he’s looking frightening this year.
At the minute Kane is comfortably out scoring Salah (which I expect to change by the end of the season) for close to 2m cheaper (if you got Kane as I did at 10.5m) - that’s the difference between Bamford vs Brewster or Chilwell vs KWP.
I haven’t made up my mind and may still sell Kane, but it’s a very tough choice! If we forget Salah and compare him to Bruno for example he’s got 20% more points for the same price.
Really good week with having Son, De Bruyne and Salah in my team after taking a -8 hit this week.
Question now is Ziyech looks like he could be out for awhile so who could I replace him with? I know Jota is the popular choice but have a feeling he's going to be very in and out of that Liverpool team

Freehit has got me 77 with 2 to play.
You have summed up the conundrum magnificently my friend.
Salah feels worse to be without and has Fulham coming up. But -4 for Kane out with the way Tottenham are going feels risky too.
Ziyech being injured feels a nag as he's going down tonight and Salah and Jota are going up.
Can Jota be the way into Liverpool's attack is the question?
With City and United playing each other that makes captaining either a riskier one than Salah would be v Fulham...unless he's rested. but surely he doesn't get rested midweek and that game - irrespective of playing Tottenham straight after?
Is the 0.2m swing not doing a transfer tonight too little a money change to rush the transfer? Or is the smart money waiting for more clues until next weekend?
Might give an idea of who may get rested between Jota and Salah for Fulham?
Just done Vardy and Rodriguez for Salah and Wilson.
I normally like to wait but with both Wilson and Salah potentially rising and Rodriguez falling, I had to act fast as that's a lot of value difference.
I now have Salah, KDB and Bruno and one of these will have to go in GW16 for Kane.
I'm hoping one of them stops getting points or I'll have one tough decision to make

At least I got the Robbo clean sheet. Hopefully Bednarek can give me something tomorrow and secure a green arrow with only 9 players. Yesterday was so promising, but all the big hitters delivered today.
It's all Tottenham's fault.
A lot of people (myself included) were expecting a drop-off in form - meaning you could be more confident about ditching Son and/or Kane.
Selfish really.

What if Newcastle's game doesn't go ahead as they're all still self isolating? Was that a -4? or two freebies?
Sod it - turning the computer off.
In a covid season, with europe midweek I'm taking the view that it'd be madness to make any transfers now.
Imagine making a -4 now and then someone else important gets injured or ill. Or you bring Salah or Jota in now and they play midweek meaning a rest is likely v Fulham with Tottenham up 3 days after.
Will lose a little on value but points are more important.

Had two free transfers. If Wilson is out I'll have Bissouma to come in with that gigantic 2 points of his.
I know it was a stupid move but I can't risk losing 0.3 in value overnight.
It's only stupid if it doesn't pay off
I'm looking forward to my 2 point Bissouma haul tomorrow.
With Justin's colossal 2 also coming in, if Lampety could magic me a 6 I could yet squeeze a 70.
Cue Southampton scoring and Lamptey getting a booking and we'll get back to usual business of him hauling when he's my 3rd sub.
Bruno sadly got to go. I think he is the logical one to sell for Salah.
He will do well, but so will De Bruyne and Salah probably.

62 with Adams to come.
Having 3 Villa players was tough with game called off. Had 10 men this week, hopefully worth sticking with them when they come back.

73 with Walker-Peters and McCarthey to play, good decision to put Pulisic in instead of Ziyech.
Bit annoyed I didn't captain Salah now but that's easier said than done in hindsight.
Kind of hope that people don't transfer him in because his games over xmas are lovely.

I'm in exact same predicament. I have Bruno, KDB n Kane currently. I'm getting Salah back no question. It's horrendous not owning him.
My plan is to remove Kane in order to get Salah back but then start building towards getting Son in as my 4th midfielder ASAP as going without Spurs will hurt also.
Salah getting covid and the Villa postponed game has seriously messed me up despite me getting nothing but green arrows since.
Great so Kilman is confirmed dropped.Now I have 3 defenders collecting 0 pts every week.
DEF: Chilwell, Cresswell, Kilman, Mitchell, Bernardo.
What to do... what to do...
