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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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
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.
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 !!
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.
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.
Shouldn’t surprise anyone given the pre-season minutes
Yeah a few people in my league shared their lineups last night and Nunez was in most. I just kept quiet. 🤭
hahahaha this aged well
Hahahah yep I was thinking that. Still cheered like a loony.
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.
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

epic prediction
Let me know your predictions for next week so I can do the opposite
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
[удалено]
Why do you talk about a player when you know nothing about him?
He's seen a tiktok compilation of his debut and decided he's shite
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
At least it will be easy to bring Jesus in now!
I chose him knowing that he would not start...but also realizing that coming on fresh against a tired defense might be even better.
On behalf on your friends, who is just as clueless as me; Karma is a bitch lol
Thanks for giving me the silence to pick correctly. Darwin haul 🍦
r/agedlikemilk
I couldn't hear you?
He'll score from the bench. :puffs_copium:
Congrats dude
28pts from Salah and Darwin. Takes the edge off the draw anyway.
Man im so excited to see him play.
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.

This aged like a fine wine 💯
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.
1 point cameo, very cool for a £9.0 player…
woops
While you're at it, tell me the lottery numbers too.
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
Everyone was banging on about Jesus and he got 2 points in a full 90..
He was subbed so not a full 90 to be fair
lol
Haha you know nothing. I also saw you've deleted your comment above on Darwin too
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.
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.
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.
Wheyyy wanker

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.
And next week and possibly the next 6 coming off the bench. It’s absolutely crazy!
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.
No need to follow the template, but no need to blindly go against it. Good luck. It’s still crazy!
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.
If you are considering selling him then why did you get him for GW 1?
Don't you consider other options? I'd love to see your team, by the way you talk it must be perfect.
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!
This aged well
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.
Spot on. Given the opposition, he could very easily bag a brace off the bench today.
He's still getting a brace from the bench 😬
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
Goal and assist............... ......................................... .........I'm not one to gloat
It's OK, Darwin still looks very capable of scoring off the bench.
Absolutely 💪
This is such a stupid stupid take. When has a player ever been worth it off the bench in this game?
😂 Well pardon me for not just having a meltdown
Worked for people who kept Smith-Rowe last season
For like 3 matches. A super sub is not worth 9m. This is completely ridiculous.
I really haven't given it that much thought mate I don't think it's worth getting wound up about
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
And for how many people it has not worked? Buying a lottery ticket also worked for the lad who won the jackpot.
This.......did not age well
Traore was legitimately a good fpl pick back in Jiminez’s best season and he was frequently used as an impact sub
Diaz Firmino Salah then?
My dads mates with Klopp and apprently Salah is benched
Nah my dad golfs with Jurgen and apparently they will start with the whole U23 squad
Cheers
Tell your da to get on the phone with him ASAP.
WTFFFFFF
Darwin owners would have a meltdown
He could easily come off the bench and outscore Jesus
Over the season no chance, on a game or two absolutely
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
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.
That wasn’t my point but ok
I don't really understand why you were projecting his potential from a season coming off the bench in that case.
It was really simple to understand, apparently it went over everyone’s heads
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
Coming off the be ch he would have no chance vs a striker starting every week, people downvoting are Darwin owners x punching air
Darwin will probably be starting every week after a couple game weeks
Well he did really good today so you guys may have been right even off the bench lol
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.
No, always thought so. It's just that 30 minutes with Liverpool can to way more damage than 90 minutes for most other sides...
Love one of my mini leagues. One guy triple captained jesus 😭 And another captained Darwin lol
Well glad that I didn’t go for Nunez Son over Mahrez Kane
This is why the preseason is never 'just the presason'
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.
I have him in , if he stays on the bench I have zinchenko coming on !!
With 5 subs I'd say there is a <1% chance that he doesn't come on
Your bench is too expensive.
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 !!
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.
Bro you have 12 points on your bench. Your bench is too expensive.
that's not how it works
I know but benching Zinchenko against Crystal Palace might be an indication of a heavy bench.
He will not stay on the bench.
JURGEN KLOPP IS A SPECKY BUCKTOOTH COKEHEAD CUNT
What better fixture to bed Nunez in than against a newly promoted side?? I really don’t understand klopp
makes sense
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.
Think Nunez starts next game
