    -8 minimum for me.

    But I should be in a good league position and can afford it.

    Is 2 palace players not overkill?

    They have plenty to play for , minimal rotation and most importantly are playing really really well
    I’ll be holding zaha through DGW37 as well I think
    Not sure on Hennessy

    But 2 palace isn’t overkill
    There are a lot of traps for FHitters this week
    Arsenal are one
    Liverpool May be another

    all i can be sure of against those that are free hitting is that they'll load up on City. they might be cagey enough to not go too hard on Liverpool or Arsenal due to rotation risks and shít league form respectively.

    i'll definitely be getting in Zaha, and either Jesus or Sané.

    not decided on what else I'll do yet.

    I've activated my triple hit chip. Works similar to free hit but I get to keep my City players ;)

    Arsenals home form is actually excellent, but Arseanl could also be a rotation risk, its all in with regards to the Europa for them. Abu is the only one who is 100% as he is cup tied.

    He is a prime rotation risk considering the type of game he plays
    He looked shattered the last game or 2 after the hour mark
    He will play but no more than an hour and possibly only 20/30 minutes
    I certainly wouldn’t have him away to an improving West Brom ahead of Jesus At home to Swansea

    Would appreciate thoughts on my free hit team. I am under pressure.

    Pickford
    TAA, Keane, Mustafi
    Sterling, Zaha, Salah, KDB
    Firmino, Jesus, Aubemenyang
    Subs: Kenedy and Long (Burnley)

    You're missing a keeper, Firmino could be rested with CL semi on horizon.

    Good team I think but who is your 5th midfielder in case Firmino/Salah doesn't play?

    Also TAA might not play with clyne back and Liverpool potentially resting up players

    What's wrong with Pickford? Big Sam vs Rafa could be a nil all quite easily.

    Yeah you could be right about Firmino, I will make a last minute decision on that one. The only thing is I doubt Klopp wants a player going into the Roma game in Anfield having not played in 10 days.

    I could bring in Gudmundsson for Kennedy actually.

    Its the impossible scenario for Klopp. Don't play for 10 days before Roma = potentially not fresh. Play 3 days before Roma = potential fatigue.

    Personally I think the latter (with the added risk of injuries) may end up being more significant. Would expect a team like Karius, Clyne, Klavan, Van Dijk, Moreno, Milner, Henderson, Chamberlain, Mane, Solanke, Ings. Salah and Firmino probably to play some minutes off the bench so they're not completely out of routine.

    My opinion (I stress opinion) on the Liverpool rotation issues is that I think Salah and Firmino will start. Mane may, but he’s played the most minutes recently so is the top candidate to be rotated. TAA is at risk as Klopp needs to get minutes into Clyne, but the spot is TAAs to lose now.

    Firmino and Salah sat out the Everton game so that was their rest and I think Klopp will play a complete shadow squad in GW36.

    In light of that I’m not sure he would want his in form players to go 10 days without a game, followed by another 8 before the return leg. Klopp is a big believer in ‘rhythm’

    The only reason I think Mane is the least likely to be rotated is he is the most dispensable of the 3. If Salah or Firmino pick up a knock unnecessarily, you’re talking some serious sleepless nights.

    Now you don’t wrap up players in cotton wool either, but they haven’t been doing that.

    Klopp’s rotation in their Europa League season was extreme season also. Although, they didn’t win it so perhaps he regrets that.
