chappy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Thinking of holding off on any FH/WC and just using the triple captain on Salah in the double. Good point @BOF re. the league cup final but it’s hard to ignore the fixtures. I plan to bring in Bruno for dgw25 and it’ll be a straight swap for Salah in 26 (going to risk not having him for Leicester). Will have 5/6 doublers and it won’t wreck my team too much ahead of bgw27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only brought him in Salah's absence though so he's more of a placeholder for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent, Salah and one other, and Jota is the obvious choice even if the doesn't play 90 minutes. LIverpool are the kind of team that will pick Leeds apart in their current state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted February 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2022 how much is salah going to play then? surely not the full 90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he can't play 90 after playing four 120 minute matches in 12 days. I'm comfortable not owning him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2022 I've got on transfer to use (or roll). Plan was to bring Salah back in for Bruno but Salah possibly being rested is making me nervous. Although apparently Bruno has a knock too. LEicester have the worst defence in the league over the last 6 (statistically). Not having Salah if he plays will be terrifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eak94 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I've got 1 FT too. Sat with KDB, jota and Foden and no Salah. My hope was that Salah would be rested, but think i'll roll the FT and get in Salah next week. WIll have to cross my fingers that he blanks, but will indeed be terrifying.

Yeah I think I've talked myself round into keeping him and delaying the Salah in move until 26 But not owning Salah for Leicester and Burnley will be terrifying!

AndyM3000 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I wont be owning Salah for them either. Maddison/Bowen > Bruno for next week, then Bruno > Salah (TC). I've gone for Son captain this week expecting to see a high ownership on the Jota captain but I have 4 players over 100% EO. Jota, Trent, Cancelo and Bowen, I have to hope 4 of my own players brick, what a shit format this game is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Bowen last night, I was thrilled to see he'd scored, and then realised he was >100% EO so it cost me places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2022 10 of my last 12 arrows have been red. It looks like this one might be green, although I've only 2 left to play (Trent/Jota), and it seems many others still have around 5 or 6. KDB(c), Bowen, Ramsey was a nice little triple in midfield though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2022 Another shit week for me. Double City CS has saved me slightly. Bowen my only other player to return, and he was >100% EO so it actually hurt my rank. Got Jota (c), Trent and Martinelli still to play so could salvage something yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
