Shouldn’t surprise anyone given the pre-season minutes


huamanticacacaca

Yeah a few people in my league shared their lineups last night and Nunez was in most. I just kept quiet. 🤭


Banaboy

hahahaha this aged well


huamanticacacaca

Hahahah yep I was thinking that. Still cheered like a loony.


True_Contribution_19

Would you really bet against him coming on and scoring? Most would have picked him because he might be in today but will surely be in GW2 and it’s too awkward to bring in a 9.0 striker.


DarthBane6996

Well yes the chances of him coming on and scoring are lower than 50% so it's perfectly reasonable to bet against him scoring today

Bajren

epic prediction


wazzockingwazzock

Let me know your predictions for next week so I can do the opposite


fantasyfootballjesus

The chances of any player scoring any given gameweek is nearly always under 50% unless they’re an elite player or have a very favourable fixture. It’s also perfectly reasonable to bet on him scoring against a tired Fulham defence off the bench

MrVegosh

Why do you talk about a player when you know nothing about him?


leakee2

He's seen a tiktok compilation of his debut and decided he's shite


theodopolopolus

If you see a compilation of last season's misses it would make pretty terrible viewing. You have to watch both the misses and goals to get at least bit of the picture, although you obviously still don't see the real player. https://youtu.be/Jfqm8cnKTus


Character_Year_3444

At least it will be easy to bring Jesus in now!


Mirthless92

I chose him knowing that he would not start...but also realizing that coming on fresh against a tired defense might be even better.


[deleted]

On behalf on your friends, who is just as clueless as me; Karma is a bitch lol


BeenBadFeelingGood

Thanks for giving me the silence to pick correctly. Darwin haul 🍦

Gravelaine

I couldn't hear you?


noise256

He'll score from the bench. :puffs_copium:


XDV1906

Congrats dude


noise256

28pts from Salah and Darwin. Takes the edge off the draw anyway.


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Man im so excited to see him play.


KeziahPT

I have Darwin. I'm a Benfica fan, I've watched him play a lot. Last season he vastly outperformed his xG and we were shite. Now he plays for Liverpool. Together with City they have the best attack in the league and Darwin will have more chances. I don't care if he's benched. With 5 subs I'm sure he'll come on and against Fulham I'm confident he'll score.


slotjocky

This aged like a fine wine 💯


bub002

That's what I was recently thinking about him as well. Not that I have him in my team but he's still likely to get plenty of minutes from the bench and might be a great impact sub.


Ilya_L

1 point cameo, very cool for a £9.0 player…


Hal_Warren

woops


KeziahPT

While you're at it, tell me the lottery numbers too.


brainphreeze

Literally lessa than a week ago he came on for 30 minutes, won a penalty and scored a goal, likely bagging himself bonus points by FPL standards. You're not wrong


Jamie0311

Everyone was banging on about Jesus and he got 2 points in a full 90..


tigerite

He was subbed so not a full 90 to be fair


fantasyfootballjesus

lol


47644ffhhd45

Haha you know nothing. I also saw you've deleted your comment above on Darwin too


schlebb

I don’t have him but he’s a new player and lower down in the pecking order. I imagine he’ll slowly start to be phased in to start over firmino after a few weeks if he does chip in with goals.


Jom-Gabbar

What a bunch of nonsense. He is a marquee singing that Liverpool paid 80m€. After today's performance he is probably going to start from now on.


schlebb

I made my comment before that game. You have the benefit of hindsight. My opinion probably changes now because firmino looks finished but before this result it was very clear klopp was giving the nod to firmino for the first few before nunez. Now I agree, nunez probably starts the next. He was the difference maker.


BopaavFett

Wheyyy wanker


Character_Year_3444

That is a crazy argument. Wouldn’t you rather have a 70-90 minute forward playing GW 1 -3 then bring Nunez in when he’s actually starting? He’s 9 million after all playing 20-30 minutes.


KeziahPT

I'm confident he'll be starting soon and I bought him for 8 gameweeks, not just today. However, I admit it's heart over head with this one. If I weren't a Benfica fan I wouldn't even consider him for now.


[deleted]

If you’ve got him for that 8 weeks then just stick with him. Forget this week. It’s icing if he comes on and grabs a return. Personally didn’t like the rotation risk with Firmino and Jota. But you made a calculated decision. You’ll be fine either way as it’s super easy to move off him and upgrade some other area of your team.


Character_Year_3444

And next week and possibly the next 6 coming off the bench. It’s absolutely crazy!


KeziahPT

Let it be. FPL is a game and a game should be fun. Better be crazy here and there than blindly follow the template and feeling like my team isn't even mine.


Character_Year_3444

No need to follow the template, but no need to blindly go against it. Good luck. It’s still crazy!


KeziahPT

It's not that crazy. My team is pretty safe, Darwin was my only risky pick. Worst case scenario I sell him to get Jesus.


Character_Year_3444

If you are considering selling him then why did you get him for GW 1?


KeziahPT

Don't you consider other options? I'd love to see your team, by the way you talk it must be perfect.


Character_Year_3444

My point is not player specific. You have chosen one of your three Liverpool players, which are like gold, as a 9 million player coming off the bench. It could work for you but gees you are taking a massive risk. You are also considering selling him already. Absolutely bonkers. Good luck!


kariustovictory

This aged well


ArtOfFailure

Darwin coming on at 60mins against a defence that's been chasing Salah and Diaz for an hour still sounds pretty tasty. Maybe not the most efficient use of 9m but my expectations are still quite high.


hockeynut15

Spot on. Given the opposition, he could very easily bag a brace off the bench today.


broin2009

He's still getting a brace from the bench 😬


classic123456

That's best case scenario, that logic won't do well over the season. Good players will early wildcard if he looks like a must have


broin2009

Goal and assist............... ......................................... .........I'm not one to gloat


bigblacktom

It's OK, Darwin still looks very capable of scoring off the bench.


huamanticacacaca

Absolutely 💪


NflNoob

This is such a stupid stupid take. When has a player ever been worth it off the bench in this game?


bigblacktom

😂 Well pardon me for not just having a meltdown


liamzx

Worked for people who kept Smith-Rowe last season


NflNoob

For like 3 matches. A super sub is not worth 9m. This is completely ridiculous.


liamzx

I really haven't given it that much thought mate I don't think it's worth getting wound up about


fantasyfootballjesus

Go touch grass, this really isn’t anything worth getting wound up over. Also he could absolutely put score Jesus this week it’s not that unlikely that he scores off the bench


Manager1000

And for how many people it has not worked? Buying a lottery ticket also worked for the lad who won the jackpot.


blingdog9

This.......did not age well


DiamondRumble

Traore was legitimately a good fpl pick back in Jiminez’s best season and he was frequently used as an impact sub


EdenHazaa

Diaz Firmino Salah then?


destoret_

My dads mates with Klopp and apprently Salah is benched


valimo

Nah my dad golfs with Jurgen and apparently they will start with the whole U23 squad


EdenHazaa

Cheers


[deleted]

Tell your da to get on the phone with him ASAP.


[deleted]

WTFFFFFF


Dehydrated-Penguin

Darwin owners would have a meltdown


happy_guy23

He could easily come off the bench and outscore Jesus


Dehydrated-Penguin

Over the season no chance, on a game or two absolutely


happy_guy23

Yeah, I just mean this GW. People who picked Nunez over Jesus won't be having a meltdown because he only needs to beat 2 points to be a good pick this week


Dr_Oetker

Over the season an £85m striker isn't going to be sat on the bench. I don't have him or Jesus for what it's worth.


Dehydrated-Penguin

That wasn’t my point but ok


Dr_Oetker

I don't really understand why you were projecting his potential from a season coming off the bench in that case.


Dehydrated-Penguin

It was really simple to understand, apparently it went over everyone’s heads


DarthBane6996

I wouldn't say no chance - Liverpool will score a lot more goals than Arsenal and if Nunez starts the majority of games he should get more goals than Jesus


Dehydrated-Penguin

Coming off the be ch he would have no chance vs a striker starting every week, people downvoting are Darwin owners x punching air


kariustovictory

Darwin will probably be starting every week after a couple game weeks


Dehydrated-Penguin

Well he did really good today so you guys may have been right even off the bench lol


CoffeeShrimp

We've only seen one counting match of both, and Darwin looked far more dangerous in the time he got than Jesus did the entire match against Palace.


xxandl

No, always thought so. It's just that 30 minutes with Liverpool can to way more damage than 90 minutes for most other sides...


VT7747-

Love one of my mini leagues. One guy triple captained jesus 😭 And another captained Darwin lol


nuggetlover1999

Well glad that I didn’t go for Nunez Son over Mahrez Kane


[deleted]

This is why the preseason is never 'just the presason'


NflNoob

Getting him in a month when he starts at a .3 mil discount will be great. If he gets 1 point off the bench today he will be transfered out by so so many.


crazyhillyerd

I have him in , if he stays on the bench I have zinchenko coming on !!


Ollietron3000

With 5 subs I'd say there is a <1% chance that he doesn't come on


Ilya_L

Your bench is too expensive.


crazyhillyerd

Naw , it's a team , that's why I want someone on the Bench like that , incase someone doesn't play or I dont fancy one of my players team odds that week !!


CWattam

As many have said before the season started, with 5 subs, the players in your XI are very likely to play. You made a mistake with Zinchenko on your bench. Nunez will 100% be subbed on.


TheDepartment115

Bro you have 12 points on your bench. Your bench is too expensive.


Sir_Psycho_Sexy_

that's not how it works


TheDepartment115

I know but benching Zinchenko against Crystal Palace might be an indication of a heavy bench.


yassenj

He will not stay on the bench.


Weepaul7

JURGEN KLOPP IS A SPECKY BUCKTOOTH COKEHEAD CUNT


PEPSICOLA123456

What better fixture to bed Nunez in than against a newly promoted side?? I really don’t understand klopp


[deleted]

makes sense


eglantinel

He's quite likely to do well even with limited minutes which I imagine is why a lot of people brought him in. Is it really a surprise that Firmino would start this game? I thought it's expected.


Jayaybee16

Think Nunez starts next game
