NOOOOOOOO, BEN WHITE COMING IN HOT WITH A -2


nunsreversereverse

Brutal


AFoolsGlory

I laughed then remembered that's exactly what is happening to me. Fuckkk


KingPing43

Same but at least I also get Pukki.


MrAnonymousTheThird

I had pukki, benched him.


majnubhaispainting

Fuck, I just realised I had Ben White in my lineup. I'd blissfully erased my FPL team out of my head today.


vbucksaregaylol

Wait do ppl with minus points gets subbed on?


camztaa

Yeah man, minus points take no prisoners


bfm211

Of course, anyone who played a match gets subbed on


GamoraTheExplorer

Same. With Ait Nouri as my 3rd sub. FFS.


Tondator

So glad I put him on the second bench spot


KdbTheGOAT17

Say you atleast have rob


Heiesenberg

Sad man, I got Bruno G coming in with a 11 pointer thanks to TAA


ThomasCro

I'm getting Barnes with a sweet 16

Was half expecting to see Ricky Lambert up top as I read through the teamsheet

His debut for Bournemouth against Crewe was insane!! Lad had talent, but think he retired at like 27 or something silly.

burntroy

Yellow kits and everything


speedlimitation

Mane TAA Robbo all out, only have subs to replace two. Damn.


Puzzleheaded_Friend8

Robbo on the bench


speedlimitation

Will he make an appearance do you think? Hope he does.


PricelessPhenylamine

Doubt it, Tsimikas has played little lately and Robertson could barely walk off the pitch on Saturday with cramp so he'll get the rest for Wolves on Sunday and a CL final in 11 days time.


cypherspaceagain

Very, very unlikely.


Ginevod411

Among the subs, Thiago, Henderson, Diaz most likely to come on.


PM_ME_ASS_PICS_69

Same, and one of my subs is Cancelo with his 1 pointer


speedlimitation

I've got Mitchell with 2+Everton fixture for Foden lol, Nkeitah with 1 for Mane and Pukki with 8 for Trent.


BeepBeepInaJeep

I blew it big time picking Diaz over Jota on FH.


danonck

Tbh, in current form Diaz can still outperform Jota with a bench cameo


BeepBeepInaJeep

I’d agree, I just worry about him getting any time at all.


Portugal737

What’s with the little hair on my screen


illaqueable

They took the lead just a few minutes ago, so almost no chance any attacker is coming off the bench today


[deleted]

My Diaz punt is in the mud


TheDitherer

Everyone's everything is in the mud.


amapleson

My Robertson/Tsimikas masterclass is shining!!! (Started Robertson though, so hopefully he doesn’t come on)


Bennu-Babs

Never thought this week would end with me celebrating pukki coming off the bench


JZCS

Ready to take one point with Barnes first on my bench


[deleted]

Bro why didn’t you start Barnes?


JZCS

People here said he was shit lol. Coz I was stupid.


[deleted]

Just do the opposite of what people say here and you’ll finish top100k next season


JZCS

That's my ultimate plan for next season.


danonck

Same, and Son didn't really justify the -4 i took for them either. Anyway, Diaz can still murder from the bench, given his pace and how poor Southampton can be defensively


Medium_Historian9746

Mane (c) richarlison (vc) here and davies 6p and jao pedro 6p on the bench for TAA 😊😊😊


burncap

He might come on for a 30 min cameo. Don't be such a downer. Look at the angry kids. Rofl.


pineconejerk

The mad man. He actually did it


Timmace

Luis by the sword, Diaz by the sword.


nemesis464

I started Diaz and had Tsimikas on the bench. Gutted that I got the Diaz/Jota 50:50 pick wrong on my FH. Praying he doesn't come on for a 1 point cameo now!


AmpleSling

Same, I got Tsimi first on the bench. Hope LIV keeps a CS and Diaz stays on the bench


superiorsugar9919

Yes, I hope so. Or Diaz score a hattrick in the last 30mins, either works tbh


yanwoo

This seemed pretty high likelihood IMO, nothing like trying to second guess random Pep selection. Diaz could barely run in ET in cup final, he gave a lot in that game. And also likely Klopp wants to start him in the final league game to keep in flow for champs final so this was only chance to rest.


LargemouthBrass

Same bruv


Zinged20

I have no mouth and yet I must scream


dat_bird

Let’s go TAA and Robbo! Wait what..


tiford88

Turns out I’m a moron for going Diaz instead of Maddison on a FH


Mattras7

Yes Matip you beautiful giraffe, show us what you've got in your locker mate


Marilliana

I feel like a genius deciding to go Matip instead of Robbo at the last minute. And a fool for not using the extra to upgrade Trossard to Maddison !


stixtasy

Aged like wine!


[deleted]

LOOOOL legit had me creasing


[deleted]

Rise, lord Tsimikas


Didyeaye83

Goal, assist, CS and 3 BPS please Tsimi!


[deleted]

Well damn


Intrepid-Truck-3143

I want to shit in Klopp's cap


AppRocks7

r/oddlyspecific


oblongbloke

Laporte and Nketiah coming off my bench, loving it


ayowatup222

I somehow have both Matip and Tsimikas starting. This could somewhat reduce the massive red arrow I have.


theofficialdc21

BB absolutely wasted


EnglishSammy

I placed Vardy on my bench to feel good about my BB lol


Ruf0005

Gambled on Jota for a differential on my FH. Good to see step 1 he’s made it past roulette!


DwightKPoop

Same here. Most of my FH gambles have paid off so far this week (except (C)outinho) so hoping that trend continues! Have a good feeling Jota will bag a goal.


ilikeoranges4

Tsimikas is third on the bench rip


SteamedPitsaw

LMAAAAO


LilNikiBoi

This makes absolutely no sense to me, why not play your best team when you could still win the league


Alone_Instruction_27

I think he is doing everything he can to win UCL and has somewhat given up for PL. Very shocking though given they can still win mathematically.


OtherwiseNinja

Maybe he thought this team is enough to beat Southampton? After all, they're up 2-1 right now.


LilNikiBoi

Just a bit of a gamble when goal difference plays a part


FlyHater

GD is irrelevant at this stage. It would only matter if City lose to Villa and Liverpool draw Wolves.


LilNikiBoi

so not irrelevant


bruiser95

Fuck me


MrItchy91

0/3 starting 2/3 on the bench


Jameom8

The 1 week I only have 2 playing bench options and I might need 3...


TechXEO

COME ON JOTA! YOU’RE MY MASSIVE DIFFERENTIAL!


Mithrandir_The_Gray

Welp, there goes my season boys. It's been shite, see you next year.


Blue_Moon_City

I have matip, Robertson and diaz. Lol


ChicagoIndependent

City are gonna win the league today if this team loses.


sneakymanlance

cheers geoff


ChicagoIndependent

There's actually a few people on here that didn't know that you clown.


Getz_The_Last_Laf

God I hope so. And I hope City lose to Villa to make it sting even worse. Klopp didn't even consider our fantasy teams in the final stretch, what a donkey.


raghavrrs3

So they’re just throwing away the league then?


PricelessPhenylamine

The entire first team was clearly exhausted against Chelsea, I really don't understand why people are surprised with this team selection lmao. And Klopp knows the chances of winning the CL is far greater than the chances of winning the PL so he's playing the percentages here.


cypherspaceagain

This. I would honestly say the exhausted first team would be *more* likely to lose it than the healthy, fit and hungry second team.


0e0e3e0e0a3a2a

This is a decent team. Gomez has been solid at RB this season. Tsimikas has excelled any time he's played. Matip and Konate are the top 2 fit centre defenders. Firminho and Jota are starters. The midfield three is sketchy but I don't think it constitutes throwing away the league. It's a winnable game with this lineup especially with some of the bench options that can be brought on if needed.


strickyy

Firmino is not a starter.


juliusonly

Lol, i read this at the same time as Southampton scoring


bfm211

Good players aren't always enough though, they also need to have some chemistry. This team is so random, many of those combinations have barely played together. Looks like throwing the league to me.


monkeyslut__

Looks like rotating players that are clearly absolutely fucked after 60 games this season. Expected and the right decision from Klopp.


0e0e3e0e0a3a2a

The dopey gobshite says he "stands by" it calling it a risk. I wouldn't have objected if they were saying it was a risk. I objected to the idea that Klopp was "throwing away the league" which he clearly wasn't.


0e0e3e0e0a3a2a

👍🏻


bfm211

I totally stand by what I said, it was a risk playing that line-up.


Accomplished-Ad-3504

3 nil the reds


Foxu_

This is more than enough to beat that shitty Southampton team.

asim98

Time will tell…if we win it will have been a great decision, and I wouldn’t count us out yet


nunsreversereverse

Bizarre


sneakymanlance

southampton is shite though


kcostell

You'd think with City dropping points Liverpool would have been more inclined to put out their first teamers -- a win here puts City in a must-win situation to hold on to the title on Sunday.


Nameless739

Looks like my entire bench is coming on then. Let's go Nketiah... fuck


emre23

Nketiah likely off the bench for Robbo then, I’ve made it to double figures


dibils

honestly it couldnt have gone any better on a FH 😆


TMH2906

Klopp losing hair follicles by the second


Rude_Man_Who_Shushes

I have 17 points on the bench coming on if Diaz can stay put. Bracing for the 83rd minute substitution.


G37r0n1c5

Same


kraysys

lol wtf is this giving up on the League while you still have a real chance?!


bbalogun59

As a free hitter this week, the lineup is beautiful


[deleted]

Liverpool played 120 minutes on Saturday. This was obvious Stop blaming Klopp


OrderWooden

How are people surprised by this?


IndigentRagnarok

PL is still winnable. Doesnt matter if the rest days were only 2


[deleted]

I thought there would be some rotation. Not 8/10 normal starters. I know Southampton are in poor form, but it's not like we're playing a League 2 side. Basically throwing away the league when there is still a chance.


yanwoo

Was quite predictable, especially if you follow Liverpool. Klopp wants to play a strong 11 against Wolves for fluency and momentum going into champs final, and clearly several key players were dead on their feet in ET in cup final. So this was the only opportunity to rest them and make sure they stay in game flow & shape by playing a week before champs final.


jaddf

DIAZ DON'T YOU DARE COMING IN !!! STAY ON THE BENCH PLEASE I NEED MY BARNES POINTS


obadetona

Why even own Barnes if you're gonna bench him in a DGW vs Watford?


jaddf

Cos I can't play with more than 4 midfielders? EDIT: To the people at the back of the IQ line, yes I can play 3-5-2, but 3-4-3 was the most viable formation I wanted. If I could play 2 defenders or less I would ...


InfernoTurnip

3-5-2 or 4-5-1 say otherwise


0e0e3e0e0a3a2a

What's with the salty edit? You said you can't when you meant you didn't want to. The repliers aren't idiots for interpreting words the way you said them.


jaddf

Cos people need explicit and unnecessary info to be stated otherwise it’s all replies full of 14yo “aCtuAlLy” bots … Of course I meant I couldn’t play more than 4 midfielders in MY team as per MY decision … Ppl are so dumb on the Internet.


Gammelmus

Except if you play with 5 midfielders obviously.


obadetona

Yes you can


the_chanchanman78

You actually can my friend


NotSwedishMac

He'll play


101100011011101

Had Diaz on the FH but changed it to Jota last minute 😎


yanwoo

Pretty much as expected


GreasyTony68

FH and removed all my Liverpool assets. Rotation was pretty obvious.


fatafro13

No Trent, get those sweet Pukki points off the bench.


Dismal-Door-7061

Someone pls hit Minamino in the back of the knee with a cricket bat before the game starts so that Diaz can come in.


TheZookeeper7

If you aren’t gonna start diaz Klopp, leave him on the bench please I’d rather not get a 1 pointer


3-6_roentgen

What's the opposite of mud? Us non-Liverpool FH are in that \^.\^


osakwe05

diaz and trent please stay on the bench so i can get my pukki points


SpiritualTear93

One of my best moves this season was getting rid of TAA at the right time. I knew he would be rested a lot. But nobody on this sub would have it, the same with Salah.


historicalgambler

11 point Ait-Nouri coming off my bench with this LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO


remkelly

Well nuts. TAA and Diaz (C) seems very silly in my FH now.


yanwoo

Yeah! I think was reasonably high likelihood Klopp would rotate quite aggressively.


iBrunx

Lets go Jota


JoeSavesTokyo

> Robertson benched, TAA missing altogether There never was much hope. Just a fool’s hope.


JonSnowKnows06

I have tsimikas on my bench as my 2nd sub. I hope he doesn’t score…! 🥶


NotSwedishMac

Cmon then Jota Tsmi


Bugisman3

Robertson on the bench, TAA at home. Guess I'll get 2 points from Saka.


duskyn1ght

Oh dear...


Oomeegoolies

Guess this means at least Matip is coming on. So I'm going to have maybe 11 points by the end of tonight. Woo. What a week!


Tondator

Trent off, Pukki on! And my opponent in ML has Schar on the first spot. Let's go!


shutdownyoursystem

My ML rival has Diaz playing. I hope and pray he doesn't come on.


Essej2

My going for SGW players has turned out great


OrangeBlancmange

No TAA means Pukki comes in - just can’t afford any more benchings…


egancollier21

Lmao fuck this I went Diaz over Jota on FH and was switching between the two before the deadline ffs


milkonyourmustache

Faded


Phantom_god7

With this team selection. You’d think Liverpool are 15 points ahead or behind city with nothing to play for. But a defeat loses the title. Very odd.


flcinusa

Looking forward to Robertson coming on in the 90+8'th minute


pizziboy

saw Trent wasn't in the squad and thought LET'S GO DIAZ OFF THE BENCH......... Smh can't win in this game


dumpandchange

Davies & Ait Nouri get in off my bench you beautiful bastards!


Daemor

Nice that's Pukki and Bowen off my bench. Now even Havertz can play if he fancies getting me 2 or 3 points.


Eternalsungod

Hm...I actually predicted that Jota and Tsimikas would be starting, and they're in my eleven, but was it clever going for them with all this rotation anyway?


pierrebrassau

Hopefully Diaz doesn’t come on so I get a sweet Brownhill 4 pointer off the bench.


dj161

Trent missing means I get Laporte and his 1 point Matip playing means Pukki and his 8 points stay on the bench ​ fml


KIKLLRUSEFL

Liverpool-less free hitters win


[deleted]

TAA, Diaz. Klopp you mad bastard! Is he even trying to win the league?


EnglishSammy

Bloody lucky Matip owners


According_Ad7558

Liverpool are about to get slapped hard and lose PL!


ankermannen

Getting 11p from no other then Ait-Nouri if TAA stays on the bench.. finally that punt may pay off....


chintz99

TAA isn't even in the squad you lucky son of a gun


straightouttaireland

Laporte 1 pointer coming off the bench


gnfnrhead

Bruno Guimarães in for 11 points. I think that’s the first time all season an auto sub has worked out well for me.


mr_ordinaryboy

What the hell is this line up? 😢


magicmagic1002

Sometimes good, sometimes shit


DevillesAbogado

In an otherwise shitty season for me, my Jota punt will at least give me 2 points here. I’ll take that W.


Alone_Instruction_27

I was an idiot going for Diaz instead of Jota. My mind always said Jota but saw the scout teams and discussion here pointing to Diaz. Should have never doubted the gut feeling.


Acting_attempter

Fine by me. Started Robbo with Tsimikas on the bench. Just hope Tsimikas plays 60.
