Looking to make my move from Jagielka to Johnson or Skrtl within the next hour.

Liverpool's run from 21/22/23 isn't rated as the most desirable, but to me it's when they aren't facing any big guns and it might be worth a shout.

Is anyone else adopting this?

Is Johnson worth the premium over Skrtl? Is there any chance he might get rotated?

In the league Liverpool's back 5 will not be chaging. Skrtel is safe as houses and I'd go with him, given that you already have Enrique. With how goal shy we've been I wouldn't concern yourself too much with Johnson's assist/goal potential, because Carroll will continue to conspire to miss anything laid on for him from the wings. At least Skrtel offers you a threat on corners.

Cheers for the feedback mate. I was going with the 'Johnson must come good again' notion coupled by the fact he seems to scoop up bonus.

Skrtl a good threat from corners though.

I put Agger in ahead of Skrtel. Probably a foolish decision but as a Liverpool fan, I just love Agger as a player. I should have gone Skrtel!

I am going to wildcard this week and was planning on bringing in Johnson (Already have Enrique).

I am slightly wary of this now as Agger has picked up an injury so not sure if Liverpool will be as solid at the back. Don't know how serious this injury is or how long he is likely to be out for, might just be this game.

On the other hand though they are playing 5 at the back v Stoke today with Enrique and Johnson as wing backs which might actually make them better prospects if Dalglish keeps setting up like this while Agger is out.

1) Agger seems to just have a slight knock. He was on the team bus at Anfield today.
2) Liverpool won't make this formation a habit. We played this way against Stoke last season too and we haven't done so since. :wink:

So many problems with my team after the wildcard but will hold strong!! Agger is still my favourite centre back of ours...

Brought in Skrtl and got paid back straight away. With four 'top six' sides playing one another this week I've no problem doubling up again and the next week. Two out of three wouldn't be bad. :-)

I see Coates played last week. How much game time is he likely to get??? At 4.9m he could be a cheap way of getting Liverpool defensive cover. At 6ft 5' + Gerrard/Adams corners he has to be a viable threat from set pieces.

According to wiki the Uraguayans call him "Luganito". Are we all ok with that term?? Has it been cleared with the FA?? :lol:

Virtually none.

He is clearly 4th choice and only played as a) as a one off, Kenny played 3 CBs to counter Stoke and b) Agger was injured.

Might get some cup action but not for FPL points.
