Yeah and I think Ødegaard has asked Saka for it the times he has taken them, so would assume Ødegaard is the one who takes them when Saka is out

Trossard also took (and missed) one vs Shakhtar in CL in October, with both Sterling and Havertz on the pitch.

I think Havertz was also close to a record if I’m not mistaken, consecutive matches with a goal at the Emirates or something like that

Would absolutely stay clear of both. Gomez will play more, but will be shocked if he plays everything, and he offers 0% goal/assist threat. Quansah will get subbed on in many games I reckon, and will start once in a while.

Has just crossed my mind that Lopetegui might not be so happy after that red card, so I am not 100% convinced that he starts. I think he does start, but just for that I think I would prefer Semenyo

But I have also really considered going Isak to Evanilson, almost hoped that Isak was going to be out for a while, just so the decision would be easier haha

With United’s fixtures and Bruno potentially playing in midfield, I would rather remove Bruno. Really like Isak with bre, LEI, ips after Liverpool.

Regardless of money, I see Semenyo/Bowen as equally good assets, so would prefer Semenyo as he is much cheaper!

This is my struggle as well, only that I have Mbeumo instead of Bruno and 0.0 ITB. I am at TAA/Semenyo in for Konate/Mbeumo atm, but would really have considered only going Konate to Timber if I were you, as you have 0.2 ITB

Really interested to hear how you’ve done this rating, as I find myself in the top 100🫨

Wait what did you just take a -8 to take OUT TAA?

As a Liverpool fan, I really don’t hope that happens😅

Was on Palmer before the midweek games, but with City crumbling, Liverpool being Liverpool with Anfield at their back, and Aston Villa playing more defensively, I switched to Salah

I actually don’t mind the Villa, Newcastle, Nottingham or the Brighton game in the first 5 games there, and he can easily be benched in any of the games as well if you want if you have Rogers/JP/Cunha as 6/7/8th attacker

Can probably start off with the most important thing in football, scoring goals and making assists

There is absolutely no way that Konate does not start this weekend.

The quote I read seemed more positive tbh (from Liverpool’s Norwegian homepage). But he did rule out Alisson and Jota from Real/City, which he didn’t do with Trent

Slot did say that he could be ready against Real/City. So would assume that he is for sure back in GW14 against Newcastle at least

Still not 100% on Kerkez myself, but he is mostly there to be a 4/5th defender, and I need someone who costs less than 4.5 (therefore Hall as well) who can come in if someone doesn’t play or when RAN gets his suspension! Right now only planning to use Kerkez in 15 & 18 vs ips & CRY

I am here atm. Will really appreciate it if Arteta give us something helpful on Saka (unlikely😅)

Cheers. I am also considering including him on my wildcard!

Does that mean that Kerkez wasn’t pictured in training either? Or only Semenyo?

Both Slot and Hürzeler has come in and seemed quite trustworthy imo

That’s fair. Just can’t see myself going with an Aston Villa defender after the pain of owning Konsa for 9 GWs now, although Digne offers far more attacking threat of course

Cheers! Looking forward to seeing how both end up on Saturday

Would definitely keep Mbeumo then. Sanchez is the best GK to own (considering prices) and Jackson>Watkins imo

I’m here atm with 0.0 itb, but I think I will go Sanchez and Dunk for Verbruggen and Kerkez if price changes go my way, and if Dunk is fit

Looks really good. I’m considering downgrading Mbeumo to Semenyo as well, but can’t really see your potential upgrades if that’s the case (other than O’Shea)? That would make you having both RAN, Semenyo and Jackson with 4 yellows tho. Maximum bad luck and they all get suspended in the same round

My exact wildcard team, only with Konate and Rogers instead of Digne and Semenyo. You don’t think Maatsen and Digne will share more games now with the winter schedule? Your thoughts on Sanchez vs Verbruggen?

Will be really interesting to see from a pure football perspective. Not sure if I can see Garnacho and Rashford fit in those roles (maybe Rashford besides Bruno?), but I think it will suit Bruno perfectly. Scary to go without him for the next couple of rounds

Hello mate, really enjoyed following you on X for both FPL and ESN updates. How is your wildcard shaping up? I’m on wildcard myself this week but planning to hold off Trent for now. Watching Liverpool every game, he’s really not been as attacking as he was in the first few games of the season
