Trent John Alexander-Arnold
Okay, so he's been benched for two in a row now and is no longer a sure starter. That's really not ideal. At the time of writing, it seems as though he may drop in price tomorrow (the 24th), so any who had him at 5.0 will need to sell if they wish to bank the profit.
What are owners here looking to do? I've considered a sideways shuffle to Gomez, especially since Liverpool have the second best xGA in the league (behind City). It seems clear he's (at least sometimes) preferred to TAA, though it's not yet clear if he's preferred to a fully fit Lovren at right centre back. Does anyone remember what the situation was last season in that regard? I'd hate to bring Gomez in only to see a back four of TAA, Lovren, VVD, Robertson next game.
I also need to consider that I would probably be playing Mendy, Alonso, and a 1-from-3 rotation with AWB and Doherty, so perhaps all that's needed is someone to cover their GWs 11 & 12, where Palace face che, TOT and Wolves face TOT, ars. A Huddersfield defender would work well in that regard (FUL, WHU), but such a transfer does bring with it a strong sense of 'meh'.
Leicester the other team to consider with a good run of fixtures up until December. Maguire would be great, but for 0.5 less, perhaps Chilwell could be a decent shout.

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
If you're going for a Leicster defender I'd consider that Pierera (I think it is) he plays on the LW and is marked as a defender on FPLMPTree wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 10:50 Okay, so he's been benched for two in a row now and is no longer a sure starter.

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
What happens in the Champions League tomorrow should give us a clue. I'd been planning to keep him for one more week, but a tiring 90 for TAA midweek would surely hurt his chances of starting against Cardiff, and would lead me to do TAA -> Mendy a week earlier than planned.

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
Klopp has spoken about focussing on the defence this season so wouldn't be surprised if Lovren + Gomez is the preferred lineup now .
If you don't have Robertson you need to stump up the cash for him .

He has, but I think Fab coming in like Robbo last could be the key.
In the same article he did bemoan the lack of goals etc, while being happy with winning with CS's.

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
Last weekend showed him wanting 4 attackers again including the Lallana/Coutinho/Shaqiri central midfielder.
Expect that again tonight (and most of the 'easy on paper' games).

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
Think I've mentioned this before but, like tonight, I'd expect Gomez and Van Dijk to play when TAA plays. I think Gomez is ahead of Lovren - I don't see why he wouldn't be as he's been superb all season. For FPL purposes, Gomez is a viable pick IMO. Lovren isn't.

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
I think he's dropped to the bench. Klopp rotated them last year and I may be wrong but TAA got Europe I belive?
I own him, I also own Robbo mercifully I'll be starting both with Hughes coming off the bench. Far from ideal but I live in hope

It could easily be TAA at RB and Gomez benched though?

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
No early kick-off this weekend so the GW deadline is 2pm. Liverpool play at 3pm. Doesn't the Liverpool line-up sometimes get tweeted a few seconds early? Slight chance we might get a sneak peek at their team before the deadline?
O Anfield Express, why have you forsaken us?

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
Trent dropped in price last night, so if you’ve still got him, having endured the value damage, you could just hold him on the off-chance and ensure you have a decent bench.
(Incidentally I’ve had 15 and 7 off the bench for him in the last two weeks so he’s actually been my most successful player!)

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
good to see him starting today, but I'm still thinking I have to get rid, it's too much to pay for somebody who could miss out at anytime.
I know Robertson has been benched today but can't see that happening too often, but with Lovren/TAA/Gomez it could be any two of them playing on any GW, for 5m+ I want more security of starts.
Is anybody else planning to sell?

Yep, could be the right time to jump on Robertson now for us non-owners, with his rest out of the way. Alexander-Arnold/Jiménez Robertson/Success for me I think.

TAA/Ings out
Robertson(or Mendy)/Success in
Little bit worried about what happens when Deeney returns though so considering Murray instead and then a cheaper defender.

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
With Trent an injury doubt, what are his owners thinking of doing this week – selling, or keeping & crossing fingers?
Kolasinac seems a decent replacement, though he's set to rise tonight before we get the benefit of Klopp's presser, which is frustrating.
Any other good replacements to consider?

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
If it's just for this game i'd consider switching but for the week's going forward he'll start a lot given the shortages of options to back him up. Milner might get the odd game, but mostly TAA starts until Gomez is back IMO.
Clyne is injured, Camacho is very inexperienced and i doubt he'll be thrown in.

Re: Trent John Alexander-Arnold
First of all, TAA is a beautiful human being
As for LFC's team selection in the upcoming weeks, the options are very limited with both Gomez and Matip injured. Check reddit and try to dig out some info re today's and tomorrow's training sessions, this is usually pretty good indication, Klopp knows in advance what's he going to do and normally tries it out during training, so if there are reports of Milner or Fabinho playing RB in training then there you go.
Personally I think Milner will play RB against United on Sunday
