In one of my MLs I am now 60 behind a rival. Was closer to a hundred but made some dents recently. Do ye think it's possible to close the gap?

My squad
Ddg/fab
bong/Morgan/legenue/Fernandez/lowton
Salah/son/willian/gross/mahrez
Lukaku/PEA/Austin

His squad
Ddg/Elliot
Robertson/azpi/mustafi/Jones/babies
Salah/Miki/Sterling/fernandino/tpt
Jesus/firmino/j Ayew

I have FH and BB. Him just the BB.

I feel I'm well set to have a decent DGW34 team with no hits required. FH then 35 and most likely BB 37.

Did you not activate the FH last week?

Pep can klopp can't. If Chelsea were to lose today klopp could rotate a good bit.

Even a Chelsea draw would put Liverpool within 4 wins of being unassailable in top 4.

Even if Chelsea win today and Liverpool get those for wins against against Bournemouth, WBA, Stoke and Brighton then Chelsea would need to win all 7 of their remaining games to catch them - as a Liverpool fan I would be happy to see Klopp take that risk.

I genuinely would rest my whole first 11 if I was Klopp or Pep - both teams can afford to lose next weekend and fresh legs will be a huge advantage in second leg.

WBA and Bournemouth are such good fixtures a Utd captain looks a must - Lukaku then?

I’d definitely go Lukaku over Sanchez. I’d probably go DDG and Lingard over him tbh!

There is also Salah, Mahrez or a Spurs player as viable captaincy options.

Pep making soundings that his squad selection for United will have the game against Liverpool in mind. Mind games surely?

Looking ahead to GW34 is Sanchez now an essential captaincy pick?

Yea I agree but can't help but think

Hope next weekends City v United game lives up to it.

The times I’ve watched United they’ve kept clean sheets but could have conceded 1,2 or 3 so it’ll be very very interesting.

I know I’ll be playing DDG but I fancy City to win by 2 or 3.

I really hope we get a cracking game as I don’t care what the results is.

Bit of a selection headache. Need to pick 3 defs.

Currently have Robertson Tarkowski Dummett (Chilwell Ogbonna)

Correct 3?

Sigh

They were the right picks though.

Have the wildcard down to these two fellas

DdG Ryan
Alonso Mustafi Robertson Morgan Lowton
Salah Mahrez Son Willian Gundmunsson
Aubamayang Firmino Vardy

or

DdG Ryan
Alonso Mustafi Jones Morgan Lowton
Salah Mahrez Son Willian Kenedy
Aubamayang Firmino Vardy

The usual BB in 34, FH 35 so can chance more players that are out of 35...

Basically it comes down to Mustafi/Robertson/Gundmundsson or Mustafi/Jones/Kenedy ...can't figure out which combo to go for!

I'd prefer first team....doubtful enough if Jones gets back in for Utd.

So two top 1kers. one going Sword and the other going Shield.

T-b0n3, upgrading Walcott with your FT next week seems like the plan but your light on the bench if Robertson/Mkhi is rested.
I know it's a calculated risk but don't rule out a Carroll upgrade.

Good luck to you both.

Busts could include the two of you in his analysis of the run in.
I for one am looking forward to this.

Yes it was a toss up to replace Shaq or Theo with MikeyT. Not sure who my priority is for next week yet, a lot of candidates to be replaced!

As they say I'm hoping that fortune favors the brave!

With it tight at the top, and presumably a decent amount of wildcards used, should the popular players for WCs this week have a good week a big chunk of competitors will be moving forward as one.

It's a week where a -8 could cost you quite a bit of rank. That's if it went the wrong way. You'll be laughing if this week's popular WC picks fail and you do well thanks to your transfers.

Ye I accept that I'll lose some ground this week but hoping it'll be worth holding the WC just a little longer. It only takes a hattrick (hopefully King Harry Kane) here or an injury there to ruin a great plan and people will be ripping up there teams, hopefully I'll be ready to take full advantage with all my chips intact.

But as ElTel said, it's a risk..

And a lot of people with a lot of similar players in their teams if they wildcarded. Could hurt badly if it went the wrong way.

I'm hanging on in the top 300 at the moment and I've been unsure what to do all week.

I have all my chips left.

I've decided to hold my wildcard and I've taken a - 8.

Out: Shaq, Wilson & Aguero
In: MikcyT, Lukaku & Aubameyang

Leaving me with:

Lossl
Yedlin Mee Robertson
Salah Mahrez Walcott MikeyT
Lukaku Firmino Aubameyang (C)
Elliot Naughton Carroll Bauer

2.8 ITB

Not exactly happy but I'm hoping holding the wildcard for another few weeks will give me some benefits and flexibility. We'll soon see!

Any thoughts or advice welcome. I could still wildcard...

Taking a -8 with your rank is madness. I’m about 300 places behind you and every single point matters, the table is very tight.

Yes but I already have him since before the international break. Wondering if its worth getting rid now

Dearg81

Chilwell will probably rotated with Fuchs over those double game week lads.
