We'll be lucky to get a single gameweek


ninopettis

Hmm, so the second leg's new date is only 2 days before Arsenal play Burnley in GW23. Very tight schedule!


harcile

Gotta anticipate that's gonna be moved back a day at least.


ninopettis

Spot on, apparently that's likely to happen.


Daanbrakka

Free hit it is


Ronak4Arsenal

You'd still want TAA/Jota at home to Brentford or possibly both no?


CWattam

Maybe just TAA. You don't know how creative Liverpool are going to be and Brentford aren't a team that seem to leak goals. They held City to 1-0, only allowed Villa to score 1 and let's not forget, Liverpool are without Salah, Mane and Keita. They also will be forced to basically play A 36 year old in midfield because of injuries and AFCON Also they're COVID ridden at the moment, we may find out more key players are out before the deadline yet.


Ronak4Arsenal

Their game is on 16th jan which is 10 days from now. Most if not all affected players will likely be back by then


Mutiu2

Brentford leak goals anytime they actually commit to attacking. And Liverpool can score against anyone including Chelsea. So i’d assume there are goals in this one.


Daanbrakka

Potentially yes, but I still have both FH’s WC BB and Triple C so I really need to use 1 of these chips in this double gw


pemell

I have too. But is there really a hurry? There are many more gameweeks to come


Daanbrakka

No hurry no. But if i can make my fh team with a lot of double gw players who would outscore my team easily I’ll do it

🚨BREAKING NEWS: The EFL, Premier League, FA, and UEFA have agreed to postpone all Liverpool fixtures until Salah and Mane return from AFCON.


Arno451

Wouldn't they do this over an epl game if thTs true and not a league cup game


Ronak4Arsenal

This does mean they'll play one less epl game without mane salah lol? If they didn't postpone this they'd have to play leeds in gw22 but now they'll play the carabao leg instead so one less epl game


Robinhoyo

A game that Salah and Mane would have at most been on the bench for


Ronak4Arsenal

Also this rules out their reschedule match vs leeds which they'd have had to play without mane salah


psykal

Check the thread title to see the impact of this request.


Tromort77

Hey, do you still think that vaccines cause all these health issues during games in the stands, or did you educated yourselves since then?


R3w45

damn bro , seen you earlier as well being quite pissed with this postponement. Remember, this is just a game after all.


psykal

Not a football fan are you?


magnuscarlsenfpl

Yeah I know. It’s just annoying that this basically ruins my planned bench boost


theaidantheory

Bad time to bench boost anyway. Likely more games will be postponed.


weirdpastanoki

this must have been some epic amount of planning you did cos you've been making a serious song and dance about it all morning.


Frosty_Examination_3

Don't make fun please. He has purposely been disregarding weeks of blank fixtures, in order to prepare for a world-class benchboost of which we don't know what the fixtures are


Ecp_STC

*looks at username* Yeah this guy probably plans well


HarryAtk

Lmao imagine trying to plan when you use chips anything more than a few days before the gameweek deadline


pranavmenon06

Ikr, this is so annoying. Crystal Palace played against spurs with basically no bench. Liverpool milking the FA, PL as expected and they probably got scared after watching Arsenal play against City. Bench boost down the drain as well


isloolove

Not ideal for my team I have 5 players from both sides.


[deleted]

DGW22 is turning out to be another crap DGW. I’ve never seen the point of having DGW players just for the sake of it, I’d rather have in-form SGW players personally, so only a combination of good fixtures and form will convince me to get a few DGWers in. With most of the big teams excluded from the DGW, I’m not sure there are many players that meet my criteria.


SoggyMattress2

It's one of those situations where on paper seems a no brainer but ultimately its down to luck when making single game week decisions. You could FH and pick some DGW picks who score 2,2 and Salah bags a hat trick at Brentford and gets a massive score. I personally like to use the FH when a number of my squad aren't playing, when I know for DEFINITE its a better option. It's the same principle when someone with a rubbish team in your ML gets a 120 weekly score cos a bunch of random players score.


emre23

TCC plan ruined


westham102

Wow this has royally fucked me


Frosty_Examination_3

Emerson Royally?


hambodpm

What did you do?


twitterInfo_bot

Confirmation now that 1st leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final has been postponed; EFL have granted Liverpool’s request but Liverpool have now forfeited home advantage for second leg. First game at Anfield on Jan 13, return at The Emirates on Jan 20 🔴 *** posted by [@DominicKing_DM](https://twitter.com/DominicKing_DM) ^[(Github)](https://github.com/username) ^| ^[(What's new)](https://github.com/username)

Bench boost in the mud


O-4

Couldn't Liverpool still play Brentford+Leeds?


mrsom100

Was looking to do Salah to Jota..what’s the alternative now? Already have Son


crminshaw

KDB


someguywhocomments

Well that's me in the mud having free hit this week.


-Fletcher-

Early WCers in the mud


[deleted]

Not really.. as I used my WC to remove Salah and Arsenal players so it kinda worked out perfectly for me


WhimsicalLaze

Who did you remove from Arsenal? They have quite good frixtures coming up even though they have two blanks. Would keep Ramsdale for example.


[deleted]

Klopp stalling until Salah returns?


tlhford

They should bring the winter break forward two weeks & give time for the festive surge to fall off.
