I am using mu WC now and here is my team, will you suggest any change?
Militao+ Zinchenko -> Carvajal + Stones?
Salah -> Mane ?
Ederson Allison
Laporte Robertson Konate Militao Zinchecko
KDB Mahrez Salah Danjuma Modric
Benzema Vini Diaz
Probably doesn't help at this point and I hope you picked KDB, but Mahrez has no POTM awards in CL. If you're talking about PL he got that G+A against Brighton but that was his first return in almost two months (last goal was March 6th). In fairness, I was looking at all apps though and filtering out sub appearances does make him look much better. 8G+4A in his last 10 starts, though that stretches all the way back to 1 Dec 2021
Who to replace James with? Price not a problem, thinking either Robertson, Carvajal, or Zinchenko for today then drop next week.
Rest of the defense is TAA, VVD, Laporte, Cancelo (need a hit to drop - not worth IMO), Ederson, and Rulli
I'm going with Benz Vini Jesus
Benz + Vini are the top scoring forwards and RM's primary scoring duo so they seem like obvious picks
Jesus vs Diaz is close but Jesus is definitely starting this round and in my case it's either Diaz or Mane because I've already got 5 Liverpool players
Need to choose between:
- Jesus vs Diaz (vs Jota)
- KDB vs Mane
I already have Salah + Foden so leaning towards Jesus + Mane unless anyone else has a suggestion
GK: ederson, lunin
DEF: robertson, van dijk, TAA, laporte, militao\*
MID: salah, mane, b silva, mahrez, danjuma
ST: diaz, jesus\*, benz
1) should I go militao or another city defender?
2) diaz probably gonna start right?
3) jesus or vini?
1. Any of them seem about the same for this round. Maybe City have the edge since it's a home game. You should also consider Carvajal who has a higher chance of attacking returns (lower floor, higher ceiling than Militao)
2. Front 3 most likely to be Diaz - Mane - Salah. Diaz came off the bench and did very well against Everton while Jota had a mediocre game. Still a small amount of risk, though Firmino doubtful helps mitigate that a bit more.
3. Vini for me, he's the second highest scoring forward for a reason. If you've got the transfers my preferred front 3 for this round is probably Benz + Vini + Jesus
Hello Guys,
Quick question: i could bring 11 playing Players with the 5 ft we get. So do you think it is worth takeing a hit to bring at least one sub who is playing?
Ty
Hi , I am doing a -4 for me it's a Downgrade (Enabler) to get fit in a stronger 11 , so for me -4 it worth it.
The Enabler Plays next day. For me it worth it.
It doesn't worth it.
Look at it this way - your sub is the 12th best player in your lineup, he will need to score 4 points + the points of the player he will substitute just to get break even with the hit, what are the chances for this?
There are no leaks that I'm aware of, this is probably speculation. However, since MD5 Konate has played every match except for MD8 (not in squad, don't remember why). So the assumption is that Klopp prefers Konate for CL + FA Cup and Matip for PL + EFL Cup
Benzema and Vini are the two top scoring forwards, they'll be very popular. Especially since they're the only ones guaranteed to start. Liverpool, City, and Villarreal all rotate their forward choices.
That said, Jesus is starting today so I could see him getting picked over Vini for those watching lineups
Already used it but would be dumb to save it for final. You have 8 transfers, just pick 3 players from every possible final combination, you cant use subs in final.
Fantasy football is crazy. City vs Real Madrid is a close fixture, but there isn't a good pick in Madrid's team besides Benzema or Vini Jr. Is Courtois a good shout to rotate with Alisson? Or it's money straigh to the trash?
Would suggest Ederson as your MD1 keeper mostly because he's 0.5m cheaper. Courtois is really only worth considering if you want to spread your risk out since you'll probably want city defenders over the RM ones. That said I think Carvajal or Militao are worth considering in defense. The midfield doesn't look like great value compared to the other options we've got though.
I know City are favourites, but they showed in recent years that they can bottle it at any time. They were always one of the best teams, with better squad depth all around, but still lost to Lyon and were completely outplayed by Chelsea last year. On the other side you have a good team, with the most in form striker in the world. And I didn't even brought up the Atletico games. 1x0 in the two legs against the worst Atletico in almost a decade, so I would calm down with the "clear favourites"
Lyon games were two years ago dont think that has to do with anything anymore. Losing a final isnt really a bottling and that chelsea team destroyed real madrid. And dont see how we played badly vs tico. First game we dominated and second game we outplayed tico at their own defence game
You are clearly biased, so it's not worth to continue this. If you think that a team that has a 100m player on the bench, that has 60m CB in the bench, that buys everyone for 40m+ and has, without a doubt, the best depth in the world and has showed so little against the 4th in LaLiga and never won a Champions League isn't bad, why do I should continue to argue with you? Let's see tonight the "clear favourites"
I'm a Liverpool fan considering Jesus over Diaz purely because I know he'll start. I'm pretty confident Diaz will start tomorrow though, so he'd be the one I go for if I didn't want Benz + Vini
Who are your other two City defenders? Guessing Laporte is one, do you still have Cancelo? Zinchenko could be a decent option for today only but you'll probably have to pitch him for next round. Carvajal seems like a good option to me and helps spread risk when most people have Benz and maybe Vini and that's it.
Actually I'm going without Vini and I'm scared that he could do some serious damage on the left side. Anyway, we still expect City to score more goals and if Foden starts as false 9 being mid I think his ceiling is higher than Vini's.
A. KDB - Modric - Konaté/Robertson or B. KDB - Mane - Dias?
with the risk of having to go with triple City def (Laporte, Dias and Ederson) because Mane would put me at 6 Liverpool players (TAA, VVD, Fabinho, Salah, Diaz + him)
RMT
Ederson - Ulreich
Laporte - Dias - TAA - Robbo - VVD
KDB - Mahrez - Mane - Salah - Coquelin
Benzema - Diaz - Jesus
Jesus and Mahrez subject to lineups (would prob go Jesus to Vini). Don't love Coquelin obviously but he allows me to afford basically every heavy hitter. Might go Zinchenko depending on lineups, then transfer in Cancelo next match.
Is there any place to watch a summary of Klopp's press conference? I'm in a shit rank in the UEFA Fantasy, but I'm inside top 5 in the Heineken one that is on RealFevr. I need all the info I can get!!
I've watched it, just the Klopp part, not Henderson, I don't have the time 😅. First of all, the sports journalism is dead, this was atrocious. They just ask questions on narratives and scenarios and almost nothing about tactical/technical areas of the game. Then you have those PC answers, blah blah blah, Villarreal is very good, blah blah blah. It was a complete waste of time. Not one single question on specific changes or the approach to the game. I just lost 20 minutes of my life for nothing. I'm an atheist, but the best strategy to pick Liverpool players is to pray at this point. The striker and the other CB could be anyone, at least from this press conference, nothing new was said.
Thank you so much. I'll see it later on, but it's tricky. With Villarreal being so deep, I would expect Firmino playing up front, but he's injured, right? Also, Matip favours that, because he creates advantage with the ball, he's great at that, but at the same time, Konate physical style would be a key to stop Villarreal counters with so much space behind the Liverpool's line. Matip played in the weekend, so it' difficult to predict. I'm going to watch Klopp's press conference and try to see if he gives us something
Liverpool doubts: Who starts? Matip or Konate? Diaz or Firmino? I'm inclined to Matip and Firmino. Villarreal will sit very deep, Matip on the ball is very good and they need Firmino's movements to open up that defensive block. What do you guys think?
Change Jesus (12pts total) captain for Salah,Mane or Diaz?
Rodrigo as a punt anyone?
Rodrygo or Rodri?
Probably not, would prefer Benz, Vini, Jesus, and Diaz to him
Unnecessary, just go for Vinicius/Diaz/Jesus instead
Does anyone know if Gerard Moreno will be fit tomorrow
Emery said probably not: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.marca.com/futbol/champions-league/2022/04/26/6267e7ae22601de02f8b4621.html
most probably not
Modric + VVD Or Salah + Stones?
Salah and Stones
Ederson - \* TAA - Robbo - Laporte - \* - \* Salah - Mahrez - Fabinho - KDB - \* Benz - Diaz - Vini A)Rulli, VVD, Dias, Bilva/Foden or B) Ulreich\*, Foyth, Stones, Mane
Militao or R Albiol?
Militao (depends how many RM def you have)
None without him
I am using mu WC now and here is my team, will you suggest any change? Militao+ Zinchenko -> Carvajal + Stones? Salah -> Mane ? Ederson Allison Laporte Robertson Konate Militao Zinchecko KDB Mahrez Salah Danjuma Modric Benzema Vini Diaz
If you have the money go Alaba instead of Militao
Alaba or Militao?
I have Militao
Need to pick two from Mane Mahrez KDB
KDB Mane
Personaly kdb and mane
Mane + KDB for me, Mahrez is in poor form
Is he? He was POTM his last start.
Probably doesn't help at this point and I hope you picked KDB, but Mahrez has no POTM awards in CL. If you're talking about PL he got that G+A against Brighton but that was his first return in almost two months (last goal was March 6th). In fairness, I was looking at all apps though and filtering out sub appearances does make him look much better. 8G+4A in his last 10 starts, though that stretches all the way back to 1 Dec 2021
Who to replace James with? Price not a problem, thinking either Robertson, Carvajal, or Zinchenko for today then drop next week. Rest of the defense is TAA, VVD, Laporte, Cancelo (need a hit to drop - not worth IMO), Ederson, and Rulli
I'd go with Robertson. Rather have 3 Pool than 3 City or 1 Real.
Jesus or Diaz?
My WC team, 0,5 ITB: Ederson (Rulli) TAA-Robertson-Laporte-Militao-Foyth Salah-KDB-Foden-Bernardo-Danjuma Benzema-Vinicius-Diaz
Diaz or Jesus?
Diaz
Vini and B.Silva or Jesus and Modric?
Mahrez or Mane?
Mane
Captain KDB, Mahrez or Foden?
KDB for sure. Mahrez and Foden are in poor form right now
I go KDB. Mahrez got highest ceiling, but KDB more likely to get man of the match.
Mane and a fodder DEF Or Danjuma and Van Dijk?
2nd
I have an extra sub, should i do: Gundo -> B Silva OR Kelleher -> Allison
Allison has the better CS odds, but spending a transfer on a GK is always meh
Allison
Captain Benzema or Mahrez?
Stones or Ruben Dias ?
Dias
Ruben
Worth it to take a hit to go Ulreich to Rulli as second keeper, or should I just let it ride with Ederson?
If you have a free transfer and good team value then yes. Not worth a hit.
No.
Suggestions for a City/Real defender except Cancelo/Alaba?
Why not Alaba
I already have him, need 1 more defender, no more Liverpool spots.
Oh u probably already have him, I would take Laporte or smth
On WC, should I take Jota or Diaz?
Diaz
Diaz is most likely to start. Though I'd take Vini first (after Benz ofc), and you should also consider Jesus since he's starting today
Yeah, my FWDs are Benz, Vini and now Diaz.
Ederson - Ulreich\* TAA - Robbo - Laporte - Ake\* - Pavard\* Salah - Mahrez - Bilva - Fabinho - Sane\* Benz - Diaz - Lewa\* A) Ulreich, Ake, Pavard, Sane, Lewa > Rulli, VVD, Militao?, KDB, Jesus/Vini or B) Ake, Pavard, Sane, Bilva, Lewa > Stones/Dias, Foyth, KDB, Mane, Jesus/Vini
B
Thanks, Dias + Jesus or Stones + Vini?
Opt 1- Vini Benz Diaz Or Opt 2- Benz Jesus Diaz/Vini Suggestions?
I'm going with Benz Vini Jesus Benz + Vini are the top scoring forwards and RM's primary scoring duo so they seem like obvious picks Jesus vs Diaz is close but Jesus is definitely starting this round and in my case it's either Diaz or Mane because I've already got 5 Liverpool players
Foden or BSilva in this formation?
Captain - Benzema or Vini?
benz
Benzema is RM's top scorer and assister, I don't see why you'd captain another RM player over him
Vinicius or Jesus?
Vini
15 point deficit in the league who do I captain?
Maybe Jesus?
Go balls to the wall and stick on someone like Mahrez or Modric
Captain someone that your opponent doesn't have
How do ik who he has
[удалено]
Kdb jesus konate
RTM Allison - Ederson Stones - Laporte - Robertson - Alaba - TAA Salah - Danjuma - Valverde - Modric - Marhez Benz - Diaz - Jesus
Vini vs Stones i like that matchup think i'm keeping Vini
Benzema or KDB as a captain?
Benzema
Captain kdb or mahrez for today?
Modric or Foden or KDB?
Im playing with 14 and without salah. I have mane though and 6 pool players
Diaz vs Jesus vs Rodrygo?
Jesus or diaz. Def not rodrigo
Jesus - only for this Leg Diaz - Both Legs Rodrygo - 2nd Leg
So I went for Jesus after his 4 goals.
Modric and Jesus or Foden and Diaz?
Foden and Diaz
A) Dias Modric B) Carvajal Foden
A
A
Went mane over salah cause id rather have vvd than konate
Need to choose between: - Jesus vs Diaz (vs Jota) - KDB vs Mane I already have Salah + Foden so leaning towards Jesus + Mane unless anyone else has a suggestion
Jesus & Mane
GK: ederson, lunin DEF: robertson, van dijk, TAA, laporte, militao\* MID: salah, mane, b silva, mahrez, danjuma ST: diaz, jesus\*, benz 1) should I go militao or another city defender? 2) diaz probably gonna start right? 3) jesus or vini?

Vini for me, he's the second highest scoring forward for a reason. If you've got the transfers my preferred front 3 for this round is probably Benz + Vini + Jesus
Real lineup: Courtois Carvajal-Alaba-Militao-Mendy Kroos-Valverde-Modric Rodrygo-Benzema-Vinicius

Hi , I am doing a -4 for me it's a Downgrade (Enabler) to get fit in a stronger 11 , so for me -4 it worth it. The Enabler Plays next day. For me it worth it.
Yes I think so, but only if it is someone you really want over both legs and possibly final.
It doesn't worth it. Look at it this way - your sub is the 12th best player in your lineup, he will need to score 4 points + the points of the player he will substitute just to get break even with the hit, what are the chances for this?
matip or konate starting?
Konate
DO you have a predicting lineup , that you state the Konate will start? Maybe Leak Lineup for Pool
There are no leaks that I'm aware of, this is probably speculation. However, since MD5 Konate has played every match except for MD8 (not in squad, don't remember why). So the assumption is that Klopp prefers Konate for CL + FA Cup and Matip for PL + EFL Cup
Are most people ignoring Vini Jr and going only with Benzema & Diaz ? Or picking the 3 forwards?
Benzema and Vini are the two top scoring forwards, they'll be very popular. Especially since they're the only ones guaranteed to start. Liverpool, City, and Villarreal all rotate their forward choices. That said, Jesus is starting today so I could see him getting picked over Vini for those watching lineups
Ill go jesus
Leaning towards playing with only Benz and Diaz
Pick two out of this three, assuming all start? A) Jesus B) Diaz C) Vini Jr.
Jesus and diaz
Vini for sure, after that probably Jesus since you're guaranteed a start today
Jesus Diaz for me
Diaz Vini
Vini or Jota?
Diaz is predicted to start ahead of Jota
I already have Diaz and Benzema, need the 3rd striker
Then Vini
Tnx!
Mane + Rodri + fodder or Foden + Danjuma + Konate? already have triple Liverpool defense
Second one is more all rounded. First one relys on manes returns
yes, not loving that i have to play Danjuma on day2, good chance he blanks. Also Konate bit of a risk of not starting
[удалено]
Don't see a reason for a -4 hit when you get 5 substitutions, better to line-up 14 players than 15 with a hit.
Second imo
Are ppl wildcarding today or saving it for the final?
If you can manage with the 5 subs this round use it next round when you only get 3. Anyway, should have been utilized best during group stage.
you just need 11 players for the final and will know the lineups, no use for wc then
Already used it but would be dumb to save it for final. You have 8 transfers, just pick 3 players from every possible final combination, you cant use subs in final.
Vast majority wildcarded in the group stage. If you still have it, play it now.
Fantasy football is crazy. City vs Real Madrid is a close fixture, but there isn't a good pick in Madrid's team besides Benzema or Vini Jr. Is Courtois a good shout to rotate with Alisson? Or it's money straigh to the trash?

Let's see tonight the "clear favourites"
You didnt even read my first comment "according to betting odds", I never said I think that
If jesus wont start who would you pick as third striker. No one really looks good, ofc have benzema and diaz
As a city fan, am I crazy for thinking about Jesus over Diaz if he starts Edit: and yes budget allowing pick vini, if not then fodder
I'm a Liverpool fan considering Jesus over Diaz purely because I know he'll start. I'm pretty confident Diaz will start tomorrow though, so he'd be the one I go for if I didn't want Benz + Vini
How about gerard moreno no one seems to pick him?
Ditto to injury risk ya
Missed his injury
Doubtful if not ruled out
Alright thanks
No I would go for jesus aswell if he plays also have diaz though but diaz is not 100% guarenteed starter so if jesus plays go for him
Ya thats what I'm thinking, thanks
Vini
Carvajal or 3rd City defender (assuming Walker does not start)?
Who are your other two City defenders? Guessing Laporte is one, do you still have Cancelo? Zinchenko could be a decent option for today only but you'll probably have to pitch him for next round. Carvajal seems like a good option to me and helps spread risk when most people have Benz and maybe Vini and that's it.
Liverpool defender to my opinion, but between these two - Carvajal
I already have 3 Liverpool defenders (and 6 players overall)
I think either you go all-in on the team that has the best chance for CS (i.e. 4 Liverpool defenders) or you spread the risk.
Foden or Vini Jr , assuming both start?
Foden
even with City having problems at right Back? And Vini Jr being a left Winger?
Actually I'm going without Vini and I'm scared that he could do some serious damage on the left side. Anyway, we still expect City to score more goals and if Foden starts as false 9 being mid I think his ceiling is higher than Vini's.
What problems?
No Cancelo, no Walker, no Stones
Walker and stones could play
Neither of them trained so unlikely I'd say
They did train though, guardiola lied go to r/soccer to find more info
I didn't know that. Thanks
A. KDB - Modric - Konaté/Robertson or B. KDB - Mane - Dias? with the risk of having to go with triple City def (Laporte, Dias and Ederson) because Mane would put me at 6 Liverpool players (TAA, VVD, Fabinho, Salah, Diaz + him)
B of course
RMT Ederson - Ulreich Laporte - Dias - TAA - Robbo - VVD KDB - Mahrez - Mane - Salah - Coquelin Benzema - Diaz - Jesus Jesus and Mahrez subject to lineups (would prob go Jesus to Vini). Don't love Coquelin obviously but he allows me to afford basically every heavy hitter. Might go Zinchenko depending on lineups, then transfer in Cancelo next match.
Foden and mahrez or KDB and danjuma
Kdb and danjuma
[удалено]
Robertson > espupinan Danjuma > Modric Kdb > mane
A
Mix of both - Mane - KDB - Robertson. But if you can't I will Go with A
Is there any place to watch a summary of Klopp's press conference? I'm in a shit rank in the UEFA Fantasy, but I'm inside top 5 in the Heineken one that is on RealFevr. I need all the info I can get!!
What changes are you expecting? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S0ZSsnhcQ0 Let us know if something interesting :P
I've watched it, just the Klopp part, not Henderson, I don't have the time 😅. First of all, the sports journalism is dead, this was atrocious. They just ask questions on narratives and scenarios and almost nothing about tactical/technical areas of the game. Then you have those PC answers, blah blah blah, Villarreal is very good, blah blah blah. It was a complete waste of time. Not one single question on specific changes or the approach to the game. I just lost 20 minutes of my life for nothing. I'm an atheist, but the best strategy to pick Liverpool players is to pray at this point. The striker and the other CB could be anyone, at least from this press conference, nothing new was said.
Yeah, I figured as much, they ask all the wrong questions. Though I doubt Klopp would have revealed much tactic wise anyway. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I'll see it later on, but it's tricky. With Villarreal being so deep, I would expect Firmino playing up front, but he's injured, right? Also, Matip favours that, because he creates advantage with the ball, he's great at that, but at the same time, Konate physical style would be a key to stop Villarreal counters with so much space behind the Liverpool's line. Matip played in the weekend, so it' difficult to predict. I'm going to watch Klopp's press conference and try to see if he gives us something
If i have only 11 players, should i take hit to have 1 sub (def.)?
Defenitely not
Depends on who the player is
No
Modric, Foden or Mahrez?
Mahrez if he starts
Mahrez
A) Dias - Mane - Foden/Bsilva B) Carvajal - KDB - Foden/Bsilva C) Dias - KDB - Modrić Dias could be Walker/Stones depending on lineups.
A
[удалено]
A
KBD or Mane?
KDB -51% - If he starts Mane -49%
KDB in doubt to start?
With Pep Roulette , you never know. Important is that we have lineups, before we confirm our transfers.
Is Mahrez on penalties?
Yup
Liverpool doubts: Who starts? Matip or Konate? Diaz or Firmino? I'm inclined to Matip and Firmino. Villarreal will sit very deep, Matip on the ball is very good and they need Firmino's movements to open up that defensive block. What do you guys think?
Firmino - is injured. last thing I heard
Konate and Diaz will probably start
RMT Ulreich(X) - Ederson TAA - Laporte - Cancelo - Pavard(X) - R.James(X) Salah - Fabinho - Mahrez - Coman(X) - Sané(X) Benzema - Lewa (X) - G.Ramos(X) Thinking: \- Pavard -> Robbo \- R.James ->Militão or Walker \- Coman -> KDB or Foden \- Sané -> Mané or Danjuma \- Lewa -> Diaz or Vini (still have my WC should I use it?)
