Arsenal absolutely flying, glad to see them perform this well. Again sharing the attacking returns between all the forward players. Too bad we now have rotation to consider in Arsenal, it seems like Nketiah, Trossard and Martinelli are sharing minutes now and with the return of Jesus it will only get worse. Saka absolutely essential, what was I thinking to captain Salah before him?

Nunez actually scored for Liverpool but his goal was overturned by VAR. He just can't catch a break, he either misses or VAR stops him.

At least thanks to Tsimikas, the curly hairy flop finally gets one on the plate and he surely couldn't have miss that under any circumstance right ? I was already ruing my captaincy choice, and going with Salah was purely out of logic and not out of conviction, but it's still going to barely pay off, but then who's that with the Martinelli captaincy in the pool ? That's clairvoyant right ? because Martinelli that no would have believed would play 90 for both games combined is already on 46 points for him, that's not including the imminent bonus points, just wow!!! Shocked

Here comes Saka paying dividends for ruining my triple Everton defense setup and it going to be like that for a while for me.

Another bad captain choice from me. I made the same mistake in the previous GW. I'm used to getting my first option fucked a few minutes before games, so I was hoping Salah would actually cook this DGW. If we're being honest, no Liverpool or Chelsea player is worth having at this point. lol Darwin with another pointer

Pained.

Nunez is within starting eleven, so guess shoulder injury is not that bad, or win against Wolves is more important than him
with Real match closing (but they don't have much to play for)

on the other side, Nketiah is obviously hitting bench now, it was not a one time situation, it is a standard, Martinelli is in

I will be rid of Nketiah in due time too, there are more tempting alternatives tp bring in for him and If Trossard is enough to be a big threat to his playing minutes, I wonder what the imminent return of Gabriel Jesus will then add to that situation, and I'd rather not wait to find out the hard.

Nketieh is a must transfer out for me before GW27 because he is out of form and will be on the bench for a long time with how the other players around him are performing, Trosasard did not come to play as a sub to inexperienced Nketieh, he has already secured his position in the team.

I'm glad Darwin can get us something; I was hoping to swap him for Toney, but the Toney news is confusing at the moment.

Really bad GW so far, I need some heroics from multiple players today to salvage at least a bit from it. For instance it would be good if Arsenal wins 6:2 and Tarkowski scores both goals for Everton and Salah scores hat trrick on Trent assists with Liverpool keeping a clean sheet. Yeah not gonna happen but I can dream for now.

I don't mind at all if Salah scores three goals, only with the difference that Gakpo or Robertson will get all the assists. Wink

Dream on mates! That's all we just literally are, dreamers! The discussion has been with the hope that Nunez does play, but now it's Cody Gakpo on the bench, lol. Ironically there is all the possibilities that players who stuck with Haaland as their captain for the gameweek and didn't go rogue to have 3 players from Liverpool might end up being better off than we the pathetic overthinkers, I mean take a look at the current team leading the pool for the week he didn't even touch his team and have 4 players that didn't play in his starting xi, but still have more than twice the points, I have so far.

If Darwin Nunez doesn't play tomorrow
~snip

he is still questionable, not out of team, as on weekend, so maybe he will show up eventually

looking at matches, somehow I think that having two Evertonias in defense, and three Arsenal players in midfield/offense should bring some points in the end, one way or another
brought in Allison for this round, and it is good so far, thought about Gomez too, but lucky I didn't, since he is injured

I don't think Nunez will be risked. He has shoulder injury and those are tricky in a way you can play but you make it worse. So I am thinking Klopp will leave him to heal completely and maybe use him as a sub towards the end if the result is not in Liverpool's favor.

Any good news from Liverpool fans about Darwin? Was it flu or cold, and is he in contention to play on Wednesday? I have so many questions, but I need answers. The destiny of my team rest on his shoulder.

I transferred him in knowing about injury but I thought it was nothing serious if he played that CL match. Unfortunately I don't see Klopp risking him so soon now that he has some other attacking options back and after he was not even on bench last time.

Yeah, I gambled w Nunez and it didn't work out, for reasons absolutely out of our hands (or shoulders). Apparently he can't even move the arm now, don't think he should have been playing!

I know it's an early question to ask for MD26 but I'll get Rashford back in my team (I used FH chip). So... Rashford v Liverpool = more points in the bag for believers and more misery for the Reds? Or do I be stupid and weed out United in favour of Salah + co?

If Darwin Nunez doesn't play tomorrow, it would amount to almost a triple lost for me, especially If I have to bring in Trippier back after their tough run of fixture or ahead off their double gameweek, because I had Olie watkins who eventually scored, but to get Nunez in I had to trade Trippier for the cheaper Coleman to bring Nunez in for watkins, and at least I would have gotten points from the player that rendered my Everton triple defense lineup pointless. Salah probably stays on for me, De Bruyne is seemingly injured, and Salah with no other form competition to play in than to save Liverpool season would be better choice to KDB imo.

Probably stupid of me also that Harrison was in my bench and got 6 points, while those actually on the team didn't match him.

I also had Ming's 7-pointer from the bench, I intentionally put Bueno ahead of him for the DGW, so I can't blame myself if shit happens.

I am thinking you didn't know but Darwin injury is actually shoulder. He got it even before CL match but played it under pain killers and lasted 60 minutes. So the destiny of your team is literally on his shoulder Grin

Annoying start of the BDGW, with some key players not starting, others blanking...etc. I was kinda forced to use my FH chip this week, likely to end on a small green or grey arrow, still my FH team is projected to outscore my otherwise -8 team by 25 to 35pts, plus i don't have to keep triple Liverpool going forward....Lol

Saw your comment late but yes, our own players cost us. I used the FH chip too, the biggest pain was actually slotting in Nunez to DGW opportunity so that was a blank up front.

Alcaraz and Watkins luckily gave a trickle of points but it feels like a poor week using FH and only getting 50 points.

Kane managed to score, but had Silva as well, and he was substitutted early on
but most important is did I had put Rice in the end, or not, he scored yesterday, and West Ham generally provided good rewards

Goodness me...why did Hendo have to move to the left? Grin

He and Matip had one job on that trick set piece, stay in front of the goalie, that's it. Probably cost TAA and Salah owners 15+ pts in the end, it was going top bin, Guaita had no chance of catching that.

I was thinking just the same and was coming here to write about it

What is worse the ball hit him in the head, part of the body which is very easy to move out of the way, just duck man.

I have already seen that ball in the goal and judging by Trent reaction he did too. Really bad start to double GW, only good thing about it is that is equally bad for everybody.

Firstly, I don't think Nketiah is overrated, he's presence is always felt by all their opponents, and he's work ethic is heavy and he's movement on and off the ball is superb too, he's just kid and he's definitely improving a lot, Arteta probably just wanted to give him a break today, I'm sure he'll be back in the line up for the midweek game.

Personally I don't rate strikers who blank in more than 5 games unless you're making an impact or making changes to goal like Harry Kane does When he's not scoring, he's assisting his teammates; I can't say the same for Nketieh; he doesn't have much of an impact on the team, he doesn't scare the hect out of defenders, and he's only playing well right now because he's in a more balanced team. If there was any good alternative he would be sitting on the bench due to his recent performance. For the record, Messi at 23 has already won two Ballon d'Or..

Stop treating him like he's some 17-year-old Academy kid when he's fucking ruining my FPL party; I'm his manager, and I have the right to to say shit to underperforming players. Grin

Injuries are a common occurrence in football, and players require time to recover and regain their form. It's also worth noting that even after an injury, players can surprise us with their performances. Instead of focusing on the negatives, consider your team's strengths and weaknesses as you prepare for the upcoming games. And keep in mind that there are still many weeks left in the season for players to make an impact

Man! Emotions is part of the game so is injuries too. I understand that but it's hurt when you have a cargo to catch and some players is letting you down.

Darwin is out injured; I should have trusted my instincts; whenever you put a little trust in this Liverpool bum, things like this happen - wasted my wildcard on this bum; I'm not sure about the next game, but he's not going to produce any good returns. Sorry, Liverpool fans, but this guy's injury history suggests he might not perform as well as expected. Right now, I'm envious of Kane owners.

I feel sorry for Buwaytress, who has been watching and hoping for this bum to come up with good games after good games..

I think I will lose a lot of points in the next rounds, I will try to sort things out from here on out.
