Have 2 Fts
Looking like
Pickford
Lingard
Alonso
Out for -4
In: who knows
With Chelsea having Utd and Chelsea in next 2 and his price likely to drop. Then buy him back on WC depending on their doubles.
I might go down to a defender at 4.5 or less and then upgrade Lingard to a nailed on premium MF.
Have a bad feeling I'm going to end up being left with Pickford for another week. To avoid the -4.
And if I do I'll probably keep him until the gw31 blanks.
I really do not want to own him

A) Alonso and J Ayew to Mariappa and Kane for -4
or
Alonso, Lingard and J Ayew to a 5.5m Def, Milivojevic and Kane for -8
Option A probably needs to be done tonight (no wiggle room on price) while option B can wait a few days.
Have the WC as backup if I take an early hit and things go wrong.
Postives of Option A = only a 4pt hit, Mariappa plays GW 31
Negatives of option A= leaves a budget defence and useless Lingard losing value
Positives of Option B= a decent defender in place of Alonso and the simplicity of rotating Allen and Mili week on week (Other attackers being Salah, Sterling, Walcott, Aguero, Kane, Firmino). Good chance of Mili playing in GW31
Negatives of option B: losing 4 extra points0 -

Option B
4 pts more is small change.0 -

while it might be small change overall, in a tight LMS every point counts
Option B is committed to as I've just done Lingard to Mili. Lingard might fall tonight and Mili is off on a fortnight holiday so there is little to lose there.
I'll probably lose 0.1 on Alonso tonight but I'll leave the other two transfers to see if Kane and Trippier come through the CL tomorrow night (and in Trips case somehow judge if he is likely nailed on in the league).0 -

I already have Naughton for swans and don't fancy Southampton defence. I will wait until after the cup games to see if anyone emerges but at the moment I am swaying towards Trippier

My 2 cents on Liverpool as a long suffering fan –
VVD looks to be a savage signing from what I’ve seen so far but not convinced about his usefulness as a Fantasy asset tbh. I think he’s not up to 100% fitness yet so if there’s any doubt I think Klopp might rest him for some games
Obviously, I wouldn’t go anywhere near Lovren or Matip, and Gomez and TAA are too prone to rotation.
So that leaves Robertson as the only viable defensive option imho – I’ve had him for a few weeks now and feel he’s getting very close to an Alonso-esque haul…constantly taking up advanced positions, unlucky not to have a couple of assists last night and had a couple of half decent shots too iirc.
Karius looking increasingly nailed on too by the way – but probably not worth taking up a Liverpool spot for at this stage.
Re: Mane – although he got a hat-trick last night, I actually don’t think he played that well. His confidence has looked low in recent weeks – passing poorly and generally losing the ball when he shouldn’t be. Of course, that could all change after last night but up to now he doesn’t look to be at the same form level as Salah and Firmino
I'm looking at Karius and Robertson for Pool defence, would rather Robertson but I need to sell Pickford for my own sanity.
RE: VVD
Without being a bitter Southampton fan (honestly
) I much rather that £75 million than a player that doens't want to be there.
In fact I've been thinking about this for a few weeks before posting and my opinion hasn't changed.
VVD has been match fit the majority of the season, missed some games before Xmas, possibly when the move was already in motion.
He was a liability in a lot of games for Southampton early this season, I put this down to him being disinterested and angling for a move.
I couldn't believe they got that transfer fee for him.
But the Liverpool games I've seen since he hasn't impressed me too much either to warrant spending 5.5 on him when there are cheaper options in the Pool defence.
No doubt on his day VVD is a great defender, but so was Lovren before he moved. Before he got injured before the League Cup final last year he looked immense.
Since then I'm not seeing it, he'll be a presence in the box at set pieces but I don't like to rely on a defender's attacking ability when paying a premium price. Even so 4 goals in 67 league appearances for Southampton doesn't scream prolific for a defender.
Those 4 goals were scored in the 55 appearances in his first 2 seasons at the club when Southampton weren't struggling against relegation.
Also I seen posts suggesting he'd be taking free kicks. I don't recall him taking many at Southampton if any in his 2 and half seasons but open to correction on that. JWP, Tadic, Bertrand and even Yoshida has taken a few.
If he rediscovers his form I think he can be a option, but on his form this season and being 5.5, compared to other cheaper Liverpool defensive options he won't be making it anywhere near my team.
And I'll have to stress I've no ex-Southampton vendetta against VVD, I've had no problem buying the likes of Lallana, Mane, Chambers, Shaw, Clyne, Chamberlain, Puncheon, Nathan Dyer, Walcott and even Bale (:P) at various times since they were sold and were options.0 -
