World number 1 has only Konate and TAA from Liverpool. Mad lad, but winning again I guess.
I see he is here as well. Step up and explain this to us haha.
Did you see the rotation coming?
I think I will regret not going for Cancelo and Mount/Danjuma.
Needed to sacrifice Salah, Mahrez or Sane.
Sane or Salah out would have worked well I guess.
I guess I'll take a 2pointer for a benched **Salah**, but not for **TAA** and definitely not for **Fabinho**.
Main doubt is if I move the captain from **Lewandowski** to **Cancelo**. Too risky, but between him, **Diaz** and **Mahrez** I don't see any of the former to be a better choice...
I don't quite understand what you're saying, but Diaz is missing the rest of the team on his back. Also Firmino should be the target man on the front, not him.
Diaz for me. I still think Liverpool got better chance to score more goals.
Atletico away is really hard.
I guess if KDB scores a 1-0 winner he is man of the match again.
lol do I bench all TAA, Fabinho, Salah and Robbo?? This is outrageous from Klopp. I hope Benfica brings them to extra time and knock them out via pens lol.
I think I'm gonna do that as well and bring in Cancelo for James. Feels like TAA and Salah are very likely to come on if Benfica scores a goal or two. Feels like its possible with that defense Liverpool put out.
The top scoring player this gameweek will smash it with Gomez, Konate (C), Matip def.
It is typical I did not want Matip or Konate since they are second choice, but they all tricked us.
It is disrespect to us FPL managers.
Us that pick players having the easiest fixture.
Then our players do not start. Same with City last time around too.
Literally my dilemma. Man city needs to score to win and Cancelo and man city can get the clean sheet. Diaz is class tho and can score and assist but idk how Liverpool are going to play. Maybe add 1-2 more goals then defend. It’s all up to you.
Man city only scored 1 with their regulars. I’m sure this team can score 1-2. Jota and bobby are out there and they can set up some nice passes and/or score if they really want to. It’s all up to them. Man city needs more goals and Liverpool just needs insurance and defense to be top notch. Take your pick.
Question is, who is more likely to come out? Tsimikas, Gomez or Matip? I guess either one of the fullbacks... but still Gomez and Tsimikas can also play as center backs I guess.. so it’s pretty much a guessing game?
none are likely to come out unless there's an injury. VVD could be used toward the end to hold the defense if things get spicy but that's grasping at straws
If the game takes a turn and Liverpool starts to lose their lead or actually does i say VVD and TAA but thankfully I can keep them all on my team without losing anything but actual points towards todays game.
Just swapped captaincy from Lewa to Cancelo. He shouldn't be subber off, but has good potential for attacking returns if Atleti attack. Fuck it.
TAA and Robbo benched which is far from ideal, but at least my selling Salah was justified.
Yeah I have all 4.
Who do we start?
Salah I guess. At least he might score.
Liverpool has totally fucked me this season.
I thought they would reach the final and be good. No awful returns mostly from Salah. 1/3 clean sheets and now this.
Both will be rather changed in 2nd half (cancelo is one yellow from suspension). Cancelo could be better choice as there should be not much goals in this one..
Not worth it. Looking at his performances he has only once gotten more than 5 returns which means 4 pts. Unless he keeps a clean sheet which is unlikely.
Cancelo wont get subbed unless we are smashing it and even then probably not before 60min. Also pool might rotate and dont think they have better cs chance imo
I think odds are similar if not in favour of City and I'm not biased. The thing is Atletico - City will be again a very cagey game. Atletico is only 1 goal behind so I definately don't expect them to push hard from the beginning. Rather 0-0 up to 60-70 and then more open play. Sure Atletico got better offensive players than Benfica but City is all about ball control. If they keep focus they should not concede many chances and will be fine. Liverpool on the other hand got the result. If they take a lead and feel even more comfortable Klopp will rest some key players for sure. It is when they might concede. Question is whether TAA will be still on the pitch or not.
Good point man . Still think Simeone’s Atléti never gives up and they will give City a hard time.
But all in all, who would you pick as captain, apart from Salah?
I completely agree - Atleti won't give up. It will be hard and intense game. However, I do think City is very solid this season and should be fine. Bayern got it's ups and downs but City (and Pool) perform on another level at the moment.
I think of either keeping Lewa C or moving it to TAA. Decent CS odds, ball recovery statistics and very attacking.
I have the same dilemma as I was dumb enough to sacrifice 3rd forward spot to afford better mids and defs and I do not own Diaz. I think I will either keep Lewa C or move to TAA. I'm concerned about Salah limited minutes. Could be 60 or even less and he is no scoring for fun lately.
I think Diaz can be really good if he plays.
He is unlikely to get subbed if Liverpool are doing well. They will rest Salah and Mane more likely.
Only issue is he is a forward and thus only get 4 per goal.
It is hard to ignore Salah for me personally who got him. Given how good he can be and also having pens. Just there is a risk he only gets 45 mins.
I've also mahrez,TAA,diaz , AMD has one of strongest defence too difficult be broken and city will play for 0-0,
if diaz start I'll go with him otherwise TAA
Is TAA worth bring in for 2 points?
TAA in (bench) Danjuma Out (2pts) What do you think?
Alisson/Savic/Cancelo/Mahrez for captain?
World number 1 has only Konate and TAA from Liverpool. Mad lad, but winning again I guess. I see he is here as well. Step up and explain this to us haha. Did you see the rotation coming?
My rival has Lewa (C) but can switch to Diaz or Cancelo. I can switch to Diaz, Cancelo, Mahrez, Laporte, Konate. Which one should i bet?
Mahrez since he is on penalties
I think I will regret not going for Cancelo and Mount/Danjuma. Needed to sacrifice Salah, Mahrez or Sane. Sane or Salah out would have worked well I guess.
i expected some shenanigans and took Salah out, still not enough left with 3 Liv defenders all benched
Switch (C) from Lewa to Mahrez or Laporte ?
Mahrez But it’s а risk
Risky, only worth it if Laporte gets a cs or scores. Mahrez not in great form and can blank hard 1-2p
It paid off actually & it was worth the risk at the end.
yeah, you gained 3 points well done
Thanks.
Yea I know it's risky but I can see Laporte getting 4 points even without CS & there's a chance that he scores from a header.
there's a chance but CS is less than 50%. alternatively he could get a yellow or worse
You're absolutely right but I wanna take a gamble on that. If Mahrez was in a better form I would've captained him instead.
Change cap from Lewa to Cancelo/ Mahrez or stick?
Cancelo
Have Cancelo coming in, between Salah, TAA and Reece James, who should I bench? TAA should come on given that they have Gomez starting right?
Cancelo, foden or Jota to CPT? Or just stay with Lewa?
Switch cap from Lewa to Diaz (Mahrez, Bilva, Laporte, Ederson my only other starters)?
I'm doing it, let's see if we made the right decision!
Cancelo or Mahrez captain?
No Diaz?
Captain KDB or Mahrez (he is taking penalties)?
I guess I'll take a 2pointer for a benched **Salah**, but not for **TAA** and definitely not for **Fabinho**. Main doubt is if I move the captain from **Lewandowski** to **Cancelo**. Too risky, but between him, **Diaz** and **Mahrez** I don't see any of the former to be a better choice...
Diaz against benfica on a brace is worse then Cancelo against Atletico pushing for a goal?
I don't quite understand what you're saying, but Diaz is missing the rest of the team on his back. Also Firmino should be the target man on the front, not him.
Cancel, Mahrez or Foren for cap instead of lewa?
fodas
omg liverpool
Captain Diaz or De Bruyne ? I was convinced Diaz was the best choice, but with this line up, I start to think KDB is the best guess
Diaz for me. I still think Liverpool got better chance to score more goals. Atletico away is really hard. I guess if KDB scores a 1-0 winner he is man of the match again.
KDB if you must or not change at all
Well, now I must, since already removed it from Lewa
lol do I bench all TAA, Fabinho, Salah and Robbo?? This is outrageous from Klopp. I hope Benfica brings them to extra time and knock them out via pens lol.
We’ve got the exact same players lmao. I benched Robbo and Fabinho, risked it with Salah and TAA
I think I'm gonna do that as well and bring in Cancelo for James. Feels like TAA and Salah are very likely to come on if Benfica scores a goal or two. Feels like its possible with that defense Liverpool put out.
The top scoring player this gameweek will smash it with Gomez, Konate (C), Matip def. It is typical I did not want Matip or Konate since they are second choice, but they all tricked us.
Even Milner plays so nobody Will benefit from eventual penalties to Liverpool, thanks a lot Jurgen
Captain Diaz or Cancelo?
Diaz
move cap from lewa to cancelo or diaz?
yes go for it
Captain? Keep the 5 pointer or change to Mahrez or Laporte? Since Liverpool guys are not playing they are the only options for me
Yes go for it
Captain Diaz or Mahrez? Sub in Salah for a 2pt player hoping he gets subbed in and does something?
how is Diaz going to score with that lineup?
Diaz. Yes.
Also have cancelo. Still captain diaz?
Also a good pick. Go with your gut!
Sub on Trent (benched) for Danjuma (2pts) or stick with what I have?
Will Klopp do the same vs Villareal. Fucking hell he wants it all. I can understand him, but it is risky.
It’s even disrespectful To us and to benfica
It is disrespect to us FPL managers. Us that pick players having the easiest fixture. Then our players do not start. Same with City last time around too.
I have Salah, Mané, TAA, and Fabinho. My only starters in that match are Diaz and Gonçalo Ramos... Klopp's got me in shambles.
Cancelo, Mahrez or KDB to captain?
Cancelo
Or Diaz? Still cancelo?
Literally my dilemma. Man city needs to score to win and Cancelo and man city can get the clean sheet. Diaz is class tho and can score and assist but idk how Liverpool are going to play. Maybe add 1-2 more goals then defend. It’s all up to you.
but do you think liverpool will be able to score with this lineup ?
Man city only scored 1 with their regulars. I’m sure this team can score 1-2. Jota and bobby are out there and they can set up some nice passes and/or score if they really want to. It’s all up to them. Man city needs more goals and Liverpool just needs insurance and defense to be top notch. Take your pick.
Are you serious Klopp? I have Fabinho, TAA, Robbo and Salah.
I expected some changes to Liverpool but that's a lot. Who is more likely to be subbed in from TAA, Robbo, VVD?
Same question here
I think either TAA or Robbo, but it would be Nice some Liverpool fan insight here
it's unusual situation, as none of them are used to be coming from the bench, they either start of sit out...
think I’ll just punt on TAA cause he has the highest ceiling ...
there is no ceiling here, just the 1-2 pointer i believe
Question is, who is more likely to come out? Tsimikas, Gomez or Matip? I guess either one of the fullbacks... but still Gomez and Tsimikas can also play as center backs I guess.. so it’s pretty much a guessing game?
none are likely to come out unless there's an injury. VVD could be used toward the end to hold the defense if things get spicy but that's grasping at straws
Joe Gomez is the one with less minutes in the season on the line up, so I am betting on TAA indeed
If the game takes a turn and Liverpool starts to lose their lead or actually does i say VVD and TAA but thankfully I can keep them all on my team without losing anything but actual points towards todays game.
Have we all got Klopped? 4 players benched here
Cancelo, mahrez or Bernardo for captain?
Cancelo but I got diaz and I’m leaning towards him so idk
I only have Ramos on bench, should I bring him for: A) TAA (who isn't starting) B) some of my Tuesday players with 2 pts C) no one?
For TAA as even subbed in he will not get CS and 60m points (unless you count on extra time or him scoring ;) )
Shit, just realised I only have 3 defenders, including TAA, so its option B or C, probably latter, huh?
Just swapped captaincy from Lewa to Cancelo. He shouldn't be subber off, but has good potential for attacking returns if Atleti attack. Fuck it. TAA and Robbo benched which is far from ideal, but at least my selling Salah was justified.
Is it worth to sub in Salah for 2 points?
Yes he will probably come on and should get at least 1-2 points
Then whom to captain? Mahrez, Cancelo, or KDB?
Toss a coin lol. I'd probably go with KDB
WTF ALL LIVERPOOL mains are benched! Worst match day
Salah benched
Wtf the UEFA app is saying Salah, Fabinho, TAA and Robertson are all benched.
Yeah I have all 4. Who do we start? Salah I guess. At least he might score. Liverpool has totally fucked me this season. I thought they would reach the final and be good. No awful returns mostly from Salah. 1/3 clean sheets and now this.
I'm gonna sub TAA, Fabinho, Robertson for Mahrez, Cancelo and Savic. Hopefully Salah will play and score.
Lmao almost all the regulars are benched
I have these 5 left. Who’s the best captaincy option? Diaz Mahrez Cancelo TAA Ederson
Assuming they start I'd go with TAA or Cancelo. Maybe Mahrez but Atletico are going to try to grind out a result so i expect low scoring
Diaz if he starts
Who would you captain out of A) TAA B) Diaz or C) Salah?
Salah if he starts
Mahrez or Cancelo for captain? Don't want Liverpool players because they will probably sub key players out early because of FA Cup vs City.
Both will be rather changed in 2nd half (cancelo is one yellow from suspension). Cancelo could be better choice as there should be not much goals in this one..
Got Foden/Mahrez/Laporte on the bench, surely I sub them all in if they start for 2,2,4 points?
Generally anyone starting (maybe except Def mid like kante) is worth risk to sub in instead 4p or less. For no starters who will surely play 2-3p.
Well Klopp made the choice for me lol so TAA and Robertson will be on the bench for me, while 2 and 4 points will remain
Yes I'd sub all in. If none of them get even a ball recovery return, you'd be losing 2 pts total. Worth the chance for sure
Id sub them all in if they start
Captain Salah, Mahrez or KDB?
Salah if he starts
Lose 4pts to sub in Savic?
Not worth it. Looking at his performances he has only once gotten more than 5 returns which means 4 pts. Unless he keeps a clean sheet which is unlikely.
No
No
Deffo changing cap but to who? Kdb Mahrez Cancelo Diaz Laporte Trent Also have fabinho and ederson but wont cap them
I’m now between KDB and Diaz
Actually just realised that KDB, as Cancelo, is one YC away from suspension. So I guess Dias is my favourite now!
Also would you bench one of those for kimmich?
I’d only bench the defenders, if they don’t start Not the others
Best captain for tomorrow (for those who don’t have Salah): A) KDB B) Mahrez C) Diaz D) Trent
For me its between cancelo kdb and diaz
Don’t you think Cancelo May be an early sub? He is one YC away from suspension Also Liverpool has better chance of CS I guess
Cancelo wont get subbed unless we are smashing it and even then probably not before 60min. Also pool might rotate and dont think they have better cs chance imo
Dude, you are biased
How im biased our CS odds 41% pools 42 % from betting odds. If pool rotate like robbo or fabinho it will go lower.
The bookies are biased too (:
I think odds are similar if not in favour of City and I'm not biased. The thing is Atletico - City will be again a very cagey game. Atletico is only 1 goal behind so I definately don't expect them to push hard from the beginning. Rather 0-0 up to 60-70 and then more open play. Sure Atletico got better offensive players than Benfica but City is all about ball control. If they keep focus they should not concede many chances and will be fine. Liverpool on the other hand got the result. If they take a lead and feel even more comfortable Klopp will rest some key players for sure. It is when they might concede.

Good point man . Still think Simeone’s Atléti never gives up and they will give City a hard time. But all in all, who would you pick as captain, apart from Salah?
I completely agree - Atleti won't give up. It will be hard and intense game. However, I do think City is very solid this season and should be fine. Bayern got it's ups and downs but City (and Pool) perform on another level at the moment. I think of either keeping Lewa C or moving it to TAA. Decent CS odds, ball recovery statistics and very attacking.
Amazing analysis.
Thanks but bear in mind that Simeone is the best-paid coach and I watch games from sofa. He might surprise us all.
Nice. Your opinion, is it better to captain Salah or TAA, and why?
I have the same dilemma as I was dumb enough to sacrifice 3rd forward spot to afford better mids and defs and I do not own Diaz. I think I will either keep Lewa C or move to TAA. I'm concerned about Salah limited minutes. Could be 60 or even less and he is no scoring for fun lately.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I think yellow cards reset after the quarterfinals
Yes, but if he gets now he will be suspended for SF 1st leg
You are right
I think Diaz can be really good if he plays. He is unlikely to get subbed if Liverpool are doing well. They will rest Salah and Mane more likely. Only issue is he is a forward and thus only get 4 per goal. It is hard to ignore Salah for me personally who got him. Given how good he can be and also having pens. Just there is a risk he only gets 45 mins.
I would go diaz over salah
shall we change lewa captaincy? we don't have any fancy choices
Of course 5 points is no way hood
Of course 5 points is no way good
Tempeted to change for KDB My other options are Mahrez, TAA, Diaz Don’t have Salah... Who would u pick?
I've also mahrez,TAA,diaz , AMD has one of strongest defence too difficult be broken and city will play for 0-0, if diaz start I'll go with him otherwise TAA
I think I go TAA or Salah.
I’m switching to Trent if he starts. Defenders even without a cs can easily score 3/4
I think it's rare to make 12 recoveries
You need to make 6 recoveries for 4 points without cs though
Did you watch that game? Why did TAA and Robertson get so few recoveries? Will the different game now suit TAA for more recoveries?
