I don’t think I will make any alterations to this.

You look great. I forgot. Did you take hits or use a wildcard? Lol
Terminators
A few hits
Raziel
I’m trying to minimise hits even though it’s costing me team value right now.
Reg83
I took my only 2 hits in this Christmas period. Will try to avoid now..
Raziel
Hey guys. Is there a chance games will be cancelled? The weather in the Netherlands is horrific.
Raziel
Anyone? Shrugs.
OddDane
I haven’t seen any concerns fwiw
Raziel
The Netherlands is completely shutdown and people should not leave their houses, only emergencies. They expect this weather ton last for days. If it blows towards England it could potentially cause a lot of games to be cancelled.
Terminators
it is now just raining here now in the UK.
Raziel
Hmm. Interesting.
eyztein
Fo you guys think Sanchez(cfc) and Ekitike start today?
Terminators
I think Eki will play.
Rogueblood
3ft and 0.1itb what you doing with these guys?

Minteh to Rudolf, Tavernier or Garner perhaps. Gives a decent 1st bench option in case Hugo isn’t playing.
Terminators
Looks okay, it depends on if you want Gabriel?
I think Eki was just rested and will play, maybe not start, I am holding Cunha until we see what is going to happen with the manager.
Terminators
I switched Timber in for Rogers.

Reg83
Rogers is the never captain, bench or sell kind of player.. cant predict when he blanks and when he hauls
Terminators
I know, but I have to bench someone and I am advising people to play Eki (when I have him second on my bench) because I think he will play and Liverpool’s only realistic chance of scoring a goal.
I have to play Gabriel and I have said I don’t like doubling up on defenders but with his form I have no choice and who would I swap Timber for (I did Chalobah > Gabriel) so it would be weird to bench one and play one, even if Eki was 100% fit and certain to play I still think I would have to bench him unless he was the best player in the league and for FPL points where he’s getting at least one goal a game etc.
idk who to bench and who to play, it’s a weird place to be in tbh.
Reg83
I would spread risk and bench timber.
MrMajeika
Start tarkowski or mané?

Raziel
These are decisions you really need to make yourself. Lol. But…… Most will go for an Everton asset in defense so I guess Mane is a differential? Tarko is safer option.
Reg83
If u dont play tark wt home vs wolves, there is no point having him.. having said that i have him too and will probably concede
Reg83
The good thing about tarkowski is he basically gets defcons by halftime or 60 mins.. but of course last game he shipped 4. .
Terminators
Tarkowski no question.
