Robbo waiting on scans on his ankle injury. Brings Tsimikas into the equation. Could conceivably get Liverpool's Back 4 for approx 20million...

Is Matip behind Gomez & Kanate to partner VVD as the 2 centre backs ?

Judging the preseason partnerships that Liverpool have used, my guess is Matip is ahead of Konate and Gomez.

With the Robertson injury everything is going down the right now.
I don’t mind someone like Tsimikas opening up, similar to Amartey, but you would want to be confident you are getting a minimum month out of these players because 3 games and 1 price rise isn’t really going to cut it imo

Looks like they have another game tomorrow against Osasina as well.

Might just go TAA & VVD for starters and see what happens.

That’s the safest and probably best way to play it imo

I love Perreira, but he might not be the player he was a few seasons back. I'd prefer to wait 2 games and grab him if he's gonna skyrocket.
If LEI do keep CSes, then I'll be having Amartey on the bench to get me some profit for a flip. I think he'll see 3 games for sure.
Bertrand is good value, but dunno if we'll get a chance to flip him.

Barnes is the man for me. Always improving. Unfortunately, always breaking down too. But so is Maddo (hence he'll be a perfect fit for soft ARS).

I'm having second thoughts about Bachmann too, but that price keeps getting me, and the fact there's always surprise CSes. Just 1 CS in the first 3 games, and he'll get a good flip. They've got 8 good games, so lots of time to hold onto him until he comes good.

Really good assessment of Bachmann. The fact he’s in 1 in 6 teams and the price probably makes him a no brainer decision until he can be switched for a premium option.

Anyone have any opinions on the captains loophole? Or is it better not giving up a cash gen spot?

Ima feelin lucky.

Luke Shaw KPs were off the chart towards the end of last season. He had a good Euros, and is back participating in the pre-season games.
Of all the players in that price range, he seems to have lots of potential. Means I can take a punt on another cheapo MID, as they have better upside than a cheapo DEF. Only problem is it spreads the cash into DEF, and can be a problem if I want KDB sooner, rather than later.

Aarons might make way for Tsimikas if Robbo is judged out for a month. Might not be long enough to flip, but if he loses his spot, at least there'll be no rush to flip given he won't lose value.

Jota a 1 week punt vs NOR, then he'll be flipped for a City attacker. That 3rd striker spot might be used to rotate for an attacker vs NOR, should they prove to be the whipping boys this season.

3rd string GK from a team playing in Europa League is usually the criteria to pick the loop GK.
Lots of spots to generate cash, so 2nd GK should be utilised to generate pts with a double bite at a capt.

Rotating GKs never works, especially with no crowds during covid. Most CSes were split equally between home & away games.
The cash generated would be so little from one spot, hitting an extra 10pts per week with a 2nd bite is far more valuable.

Hate seeing caution on players like Watkins(Muscle) and Buendia(Hip).
Will have to start plans on extra back up options.

Beauty of this game is the rolling lockout to start with although for me it's easier
time wise.

The only positive to come out of all our lockdowns is that we can focus on our starting Sportal teams cos we'll be more flexible with sleep.

Yep. You don't know, even if they start, whether they'll be able to perform at 100%.
Could be a blessing to look elsewhere, or could be a Fantasy Gods trap.
They've got me heaps of times. I won't forget Son from early last season. Got me a beauty.

I see nothing wrong with this. Seriously. Won't have to use a transfer.
Guaranteed to have at least 2 starters, and at tightwad Greek prices too. Maresi!

I don't mind it other than a Covid postponement . A few of those should get to 7m+

What about Matip though ? You might have 2 x CB's coming on as subs (if at all) so how will they rise enough in $$$ to then be used to upgrade other positions ?
