    Slipped back to 6k after last night but delighted overall. 1 transfer left. Traore is the main problem now. Don't have Chelsea-Norwich or Sun 17th July covered after taking out Barnes for Antonio. Think I will prioritise the Chelsea match but can't take Traore out for Willian or Pulisic cos I don't have the funds.

    Who to captain tomorrow between KDB Foden TAA Gomez Pulisic ?

    On reflection I think I'm just gonna go with TAA. Slightly concerned this could be the game he finally gets rested. But I hope not - he's started every league game this season. I assume most who have VVD will be captaining him.

    I'll go with Van Dijk as TAA and Bruyne are slight doubts and I have a feeling he might get a goal tomorrow too.

    TAA didn't start the Bournemouth away match in December although he came on in the 40th minute for the injured Lovren.

    Didn't notice that. I reckon he starts though. Klopp may take him off for the last 20 mins or so if they're winning comfortably would be my guess.

    Yeah that's what I think as well. Williams showed he's a bit of a liability at the back against Brighton.

    Klopp will want to have the win secured and then he'll take off the main guys.

    Williams wasn't playing his natural position against Brighton, hence his poor performance. I think Klopp wants the record points total without saying as much, which is why Robertson came on and Salah certainly wants to be top scorer. I think TAA plays. He will go back to giving Williams his five minutes at the end.

    Captaining Mane tomorrow even though Salah is the man now.

    And a good argument against players being rested is that because of the FA cup games - Liverpool have a full week's rest after the Arsenal game before they play Chelsea

    Antonio at the double. Great differential for you Dearg. Would have liked to get him but just about out of transfers alas. Well in

    2.5% owned in top 1k. Donegal1234 do you have him?

    Only 2.5% of top 1k have him so shouldn't damage you lads too much. Hopefully nobody in top 10 has him.

    Double clean sheet for Sheffield United and Liverpool blanking along with Antonio should mean I move up again, even with captain Mane. KDB to come. Wish I was doing as well in the FPL game :)

    Up to 4200 now, only Jimenez and Auba today cos I guess Traore won't be playing. 363th for the month which is as near as I am going to be winning anything. :D Undecided for the captaincy.

    That Soyuncu red and goals conceded will hurt a few. Some will have captained him too. I don't want to look at the rankings all the same. Hopefully can claw back a little with triple United tomorrow

    Yea a lot of people have Soyuncu. A - 4 from your captain would hurt.

    I'm gonna get Greenwood tomorrow, probably 2 weeks too late. I'll have Ings, Maguire and Fernandes so should move up from 50th. I might go with Greenwood as captain as I don't expect Fernandes to be on penalties and Greenwood is a better differential.

    Last one which is risky. I'd be doing well to avoid injuries over the next 2 rounds although I haven't had one in a long time. I'll be looking at low ownership now for captains as I'm gonna take more risks to try catch up.

    Fair enough you have nothing to lose by going with differentials. I will be going with Bruno tomorrow. Can’t afford to go to differential. If I don’t captain him and he bags I’m in trouble.

    Yea I'd do the same if I was you. Plenty of time left for you to close the gap on the leaders without taking risks.

    I'm half thinking of going differential captain tomorrow too. I'm 70+ points off money finish in money leagues. My other options are Martial, Maguire and Ings. Martial has been pretty solid at home.

    Yeah same. West Ham Watford the only one i don't. Could possibly have that covered if i use last transfer on Antonio, though half had my eye on getting in Mahrez(if he starts) on Wednesday for Pulisic. Would give me 3 City for last few games, though you always have Pep rotation.

    city fixtures looks very juicy. Fearing lampard could be doing some rotation with squad against norwich. With fa cup semi coming up.

    Just watching motd now. He did an interview saying he won't react to the defeat and they are in with a chance of champions league qualification so I don't see many changes apart from maybe in defence.

    It's possible. But there's 5 days between league game and fa cup semi. I reckon Pulisic and Willian both start. Giroud up front probably.

    Willian and Pulisic both 10% owned top 1k. With so little transfers left in general they'll be a differential (to some degree). Some will get them in obviously. But we're probably looking at less than 25% ownership for either even then. A big captain haul could see some good ground gained.

    Up to 3900 thanks to captain Jimenez. Only Bruno today though. 1 transfer left so that is for Willian or Pulisic and a striker out since I have no other way of doing it! Covering tomorrow means I will have 9 out of 10 captains covered.

    I think I might have to save my transfer for tomorrow night in case Pulisic is given a rest. There is no way I'm going into that match without a captain.
