GW19 - Matchday thread

Presumably I'm not the only one sh*tting it that I haven't captained Haaland?

The split in captaincy choices makes this week very interesting. Some very strong benches around too (debated bench boosting but said I’d hold it)

There’s miss number one for Nunez

Did everything correct, was a hard finish falling away from the ball. That was unlucky and would have been Salah assist.

Nunez has a shot cleared off the line. Salah set it up.

Zanka & Elliot booked. I'm guessing not both are owned by very little

Cant blame him there. Did everything right.

Most teams have the same 8/9 starters and then the captain spilt.

Dry January was probably a bad idea as a Nunez owner...

Nothing much he could do about it, dangerous corner in and hit his leg after Fabinho I think missed a header.

When ya cost £85m and you’ve missed the chances he has in the last two games he has to be scoring.

He is finishing like Grealish and not Haaland!

You are basing it on the chances he missed previously. He did nothing wrong with the chance today. Mee just did well to get back. Sometimes other players do good things and it isn’t always a case of a player doing something ‘wrong’.

Fu©kin hell That is why I have no Pool defs

I don't actually understand why the other two goals were offside. Liverpool very lucky to be only 2 goals down.

Cypher_sounds

VVD off at ht will hurt a few. Tsimkas and Elliot off also.

Robertson Matip and Keita on.

Nunez!

Edit - Varred out .... Fuk

Nunez SCORED

Offside lol

He can't catch any breaks, taught on VAR he'd be onside and defenders foot would keep him on.

JFC I'm done with Liverpool assets

macraignil

Saw the predicted lineup had Liverpool with Robertson on the bench so swapped him to Alexander-Arnold with my free transfer.

Pope

Alexander-Arnold, Trippier, Castagne, Cancelo

Almiron, Rashford, Trossard,

Mitrovic, Haaland(c), Kane

Ward, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saliba

Going to be a difficult week with my team having the three Arsenal and three Newcastle.

Good luck!

I have to be missing something with that line up but I can't see what? - nothing short of criminal benching Odegaard and Martiinelli imo. I'm actually shocked that you have started with 4 defenders instead of playing at least one of them lads. Trossard has little to no form and is playing away from home.

Point taken. I know it makes little sense to bring club support into FPL decisions but would get no enjoyment from seeing Arsenal score aginst Newcastle so just gambling on the Newcastle defense having a good day. I know the odds are against what I'm doing with the Arsenal players in such good form but its just the choice I've gone with as its an awkward position to have three players from each team. Proabably Trossards last outing in my team and think there is a chance Everton might be outplayed by Brighton so think he's worth giving a chance to anyway.

SHAW GOAL

Ace2007

just gotta laugh, was going to get Shaw last week, but didn't bother, and now he's score a goal - will probably get 15 points, after his 9 last week.
