    Mo Salah ran riot v Watford last season . Hoping more of the same

    So am I. for FPL and personal allegiance reasons.

    it won't be the same though.

    Watford are schizophrenic, but they are on a good run. they are also a better team under Gracia - there really is no doubt about that. they offer a lot more going forward than last season. Liverpool's best hope is that they try to make it an open game, but teams have surely learned that lesson (well, every team bar Bournemouth).

    also, Liverpool are not the same attacking team. Salah isn't trusting himself to glide past people, and the front 3 combinations just aren't coming off. they could click, but it's unlikely, and I'll be flabbergasted if Salah gets a hat trick or more.

    I'd snap your hand off now for a goal from him.

    Have changed my captain 3 times in the last 20 minutes, when in doubt Aguero.

    I captained him at the weekend but not this time as I suspect Auba will be back to limit Laca's time on the pitch

    Why the love for Salah this week? Genuine question.

    Not a single shot on target v United. Has been in poor form (by his standards). Also Watford in great form at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I'm keeping him but can't see past Pogba for captain.

    Probably because of his record against Watford. 6 goals and 3 assists in 3 games against them. I was tempted to captain him but his form is putting me off so chancing Sane instead

    I've pretty much contemplated all my starters in the last 5 mins. I'm now moving on to giving the armband to players I don't even own.

    I would punt on Sane if I had him. Gonna make do with Sterling (or Aguero, Mane, Jiminez or Doherty).... Sterling for now.

    He scored 4 goals in this fixture last season, which coincidentally was days after he'd been shut out at Old Trafford. Sounds like a good omen to me which is why he's my captain this week.

    Salah. Would be Auba if i had him. Have Aguero and Sterling but i'm not confident of either in terms of minutes. I also think they could struggle without Fernandinho, Laporte and Stones, as well as the fatigue of 120mins + pens just 3 days before.

    Going with hopefully the 'safest bet' of a guranteed starter and the pole majority.
    Salah (c) PEA (VC)
    Would love to captain PEA or Aguero but can't risk it.

    Screw it! PEA (C)

    I was really tempted to cap Rondon today but chickened out and went with Salah.

    Phew - genuinely great feeling when a gut move proves right.
