We were blessed yesterday and Liverpool will be playing that game with a serious chip on their shoulder. 3 Liverpool players feels like the way forward for a wildcarder. Jota and Phillips allow that to be a thing while keeping money to do all the other things you’d want to do.

Salah as similarly price is better shout imo - chasing top 4 and not unlikely to be rotated. Given that you have DCL and he'll have a double at some stage - would you not be keen to keep him? Everton have an outside chance of top 4 - win both games in hand and they will be 4th - surely that's an incentive for DCL and co to go full steam ahead, fixtures aren't great though. Maybe Ricky would be better alternative but if they win tomorrow night, then I think one of them should be in a WC team.

Leeds at home is a plum fixture so might just sit tight. I hate the feeling when your old team would have outscored your wildcard team on week 1.

Could Neto become Foden for a punt this week? If DCL didn't have a double i would say get rid, but maybe he's a hold with it?
Ace2007 wrote: » What is it about Vardy lads? 1 goal in his last 13 games - what am i missing? I can understand Nacho - cheap as chips, and playing well, but Vardy has no form at all - Chris Wood at Burnely's fixtures are probably just as good but he actually knows where the net is. Lacazette has Sheffield United and Fulham next and is in goal scoring mood. Granted there's not much else - but Vardy?:eek:
Morzadec wrote: » Yeah I'm also not getting the Vardy love personally, though it's true the striking options are limited. I think I'll be setting up for a 3-5-2 most weeks. I'm currently on Kane, Iheanacho and Vydra. Vydra is 4.8 and looks to have a starting spot now. 2 goals and 1 assist in the last 5 so a bit of form, not the worst for a 4.8 and possibly justifies the extra half million or so over Brewster/Davis. May well change however depending on other decisions, might need to hold back some funds to consider bringing Son back for GW 32. When do we think Everton/Villa are playing? Is there a consideration of keeping one or two of their players in the back pocket for when their double comes along? Villa also have a nice fixture in 33 to cover the Spurs blanks. Already sold Konsa but now thinking of bringing him back in. Though the fixtures aren't great and maybe 4.7 is that little bit too high for someone I'll be benching almost every week bar maybe 3 matches from here on out
