    Could leave you a little light in midfield alright.

    Edersen
    Laporte robbo awb digne Doherty
    Salah Perez
    FunBobby Wilson Jimenez


    4.0m keeper Hourihane 4.5m 4.5m

    Hourihane for rotation with perez if needed

    Oh it can be done

    Heaton
    VVD TAA Robertson Laporte Digne
    Siggy Sterling
    Vardy Wilson Jimenez

    Bench would be whoever ends up Sheffield United keeper(rotates quite well with Burnley) + 3x 4.5 mids

    The one downside is less premium options in attack for captaincy, though there's a good argument for TAA/Robbo in the majority of Liverpool home games, and Vardy could be a good option in some games. Sterling would get the armband a lot of the time obviously

    Thinking of going with this from the start this year, its completely against the way I play but it could be a great differential

    Currently on

    Ederson (McGovern)
    Laporte-VVD-Robbo-TAA-Digne
    Sterling-McGinn-Sanchez-Son (Bjaresen)
    Vardy (Long-Silva)

    Just done my first draft and drawn to this as well.

    Fab (McGovern)
    TAA, Robbo, Laporte, Digne, Ritchie
    Salah, Siggy, Fraser, Bilva (Hayden)
    Vardy (Andone, Greenwood)

    Need to do a bit more research on the 4.5's but a new manager should/could see Andone start, could end up a good facilitator/cover at 5.0.

    Will also be keeping an eye on United's preseason, Martial could be a steal at 7.5 if he gets the finger out, Sanchez if he remembers how to play... some decent performances in the Copa.

    Don’t know if I could stand the sweat on trying to keep 6 clean sheets per game.

    There is nothing more soul destroying than having 4 or 5 clean sheets in the bag with only a few minutes left in games, to then refresh and 20 points have just disappeared!!

    It’s a very boring way to play the game, completely goes against how I play

    BUT
    What was the point of doing the trial last year if I’m not going to actually do it this year. F**k it, it’s one season

    I’ll just imagine I’m putting Martin O’Neill
    In charge

    I'm aiming for 2 goals, 3 assists and the usual 93 saves from Fab each week. Clean sheets are a bonus :)

    On a serious note, plenty of defenders out there that can make 5 at the back exciting... ok, mildly exciting.

    I think the trial was a good option last season, but this year those lads are so much more expensive
