GW 16 transfers

Any views on Lovren and Capoue to Jones and Siggy for -4 (Other mids are Sanchez, Firmino, Pedro and Allen)?

One of those nights where I'm up too late as i need to make a call. Keep looking a Swansea fixtures and thinking they don't scream goals. But whatever goals they get Siggy is involved.

Sick of the Liverpool bingo. Think players in teams with less goals but who are central to their play are a better bet, esp of 1m cheaper.

Firmino to Siggy and Nacho to origi or Carroll for -4 has to make sense doesnt it??
Leaving...
Hazard, Siggy, Sanchez, Snoddy
Kane, Costa, Origo/Andy

I looked at a mental Ibra/Kane /Costa frontline too but its a stretch even for me.

I'd bank this week in your situation.

Trying to get a good contingent of spurs and west ham players for the next two fixtures,
I have walker, ali, and kane from spurs
Am getting payet,
I need your opinions on the carroll situation, is he likely to start?

With no strong front 8 Id say I at least want to get Nacho out. A 1 pointer there seems odds on.

So would I. I wouldn't be surprised to see a changed Liverpool line up on Wednesday, with Firmino back central.

If can is injured there aren't really any options to change. Do you think origi and firmino could swap starting positions.

Austin - Carroll done

Wanted to rage transfer Firmino out yesterday evening too but couldn't find a alternative I liked.

Will wait to see if Lovern is a bad injury, he may also go for a -4

Its definitely an option. In real life football Origi is scoring goals but disrupting Liverpools play. He can play as a wide player and Firmino is far more effective in the centre, so its a consideration.

They will both probably play but I'm not sure that I'd do a transfer that removed Firmino and brought in Origi (as was FHFCs proposal) as if anyone is dropped it will be Origi I'd imagine.

Looking at Firmino out for West Ham mid....is Antonio in better form than Payet these days?

Haven't seen a lot of them tbh but he seems to be a bigger goal threat.

If Carroll starts, Antonio could end up back as a wing back, was htinking of bringing him in but him not having a set position is a bit off putting

Pedro -> Eriksen

I may just wait till later to confirm that one. I have Kane in my team but I also wouldn't mind a West Ham player.

I brought in origi but do agree it would be better for the team if they switched positions. The only other alternative I can see out of the current available squad is to bring in moreno and push milner into an attacking position with firmino central.

Forgetting about non FPL tactics for now, its still the case that for now Firmino is a pretty dud Fantasy asset as things stand. It seems unlikely that will change as Origi is scoring goals up front. Is holding Firmino not flogging a dead horse a bit, with the way the team is set up and likely to remain set up till Coutinho returns.

I personally think its to early to say about firmino. He is still playing in one of the advanced positions for a team that has scored 7 goals in coutinhos absence. Chances are he will be involved in at least 2 of the next 7 goals. I'd prefer him to be central but I think its to early to sell. He is nailed on for a team that scores a lot of goals. For me your team would want to be in great shape to be looking to sell him.

With my 'Liverpool hat' on, I think there will be changes to the team on Wednesday (injuries permitting). It wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see Firmino moved central again.

I'm not saying it will happen, but if Origi wasn't scoring he would definitely be out of the team, as he isn't helping Liverpool in general play. The question for Klopp is can he drop a striker who has scored 4 in 4 to try and improve the overall team? Personally, I would but I'm not the Liverpool manager (probably just as well!)

IF Firmino goes back central, I'd definitely want him in my FF team (ahead of Eriksen, Payet or Alli for example), the thing is we just don't know.

Mata and Austin out,
Siggy and Origi in.

Cheers, and Busts too, for the top Liverpool advice. It has been a season too of players going nuts as soon as people give up on them.

Hazard, Sanchez, Lukaku all scored big after frustrating for a few weeks and being heavily sold.

As for my other problem....unless Pep says something to suggest he still has faith in Nacho vs Watford I will be highly likley to shift him for Carroll (who I really wanted anyway).
