I've got a similar conundrum but only on whether to play Jota or Vydra. I was leaning towards benching Jota as well but will Vydra even start?

Seem to be a lot of people saying he won't start. I can see that, with Klopp going with his usual front three for Man Utd away.

Here is my conundrum... play 1:

Shaw (LIV)
Saka (New)
Jota (Mun)

I am leaning towards playing Saka, but Shaw is perhaps the 'safe' move. I am also currently playing Castagne and TAA.

I'd probably bench Saka. Think he might get a rest after last night.

Rudiger is out, confirmed by Tuchel, makes one of them an easy pick now at least.

Why is he out? Ughh. I was gonna roll but now need to play Struijk or do something with Philips. No MITB so who could I even bring in for Philips?

Cooper is still suspended so Struijk should start. Not an awful option given Brighton's result last week and their weakness from set pieces.

I have the same decision slyger. What have you decided? Vydra is more likely to start than Jota, and West Ham is a poorer defence right now. But am I really benching a Liverpool mid for a Burnley second striker?

Opinions appreciated.

Yeah, benched Jota as well. My only fear is both Mo and Mane might be fasting and so Jota might play the full 90.

Rudiger. Wouldn’t surprise me if he couldn’t start both games due to fitness. And longing for a CS against Citeh is a gamble.

Currently set to Forster but it just feels so wrong :? - Mendys fixtures are pretty bad but what if Forster doesn't play both after all?

Still got a keeper to bench.

Meslier or Fabianski?

On the surface, I’d go Meslier but with Chris Wood on form and Burnley scoring in 9 games on the spin, I’m leaning towards Fabianski against Brighton minus Maupay.

And you think that makes Brighton less likely to score? :lol:

The bookies are in no doubt. Clean sheet odds: Leeds 5/2, WHU 19/20


Edit: bookies could hardly have been more wrong...

Post by cymbalrush84 »

GW37. Biggest conundrum of my season.

Fabianski
Meslier

Phillips
Trent
Dallas
Saiss
Shaw

Bruno
Greenwood
Lingard
JWP
Son

Kane
Adams
Nacho

As it stands, I’m going for Meslier, Saiss and Nacho. Sure, I can be accused of hedging bets with a Dallas/Adams/JWP but I’m hoping for attacking returns for all three.

Fourth sub is damn tricky.
