Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
If money isn’t an issue, Lallana and Ox should be ignored.

Coutinho of course, Mane looks in not good contention and will be a rotation risk during the Cristmas period

Coutinho seems to be the popular choice and can be played in the trident or in midfield making a bit more rotation proof.

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
that's a very good point about Coutinho having two ways into the team, was thinking I would avoid the double up due to rotation but might look again.
do like Mane but he looks the most fragile, Klopp protecting him quite a lot at the moment.

Picked Mane over Salah few weeks ago and that decision has pretty wrecked my season

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
They'll all be rested including Coutinho. If I had the readies, it would be him, but if I were going for one, I'm more tempted to go for someone who's just been rested rather than chasing points.

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
Feel it is almost a case of how to fit another in. Salah, Hazard, City mid, GroB/Richarlison is standard enough. Maybe if you have a super cheap defence.

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
Mane, Coutinho and Salah would be a great midfield in my fantasy team

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
seeing lots of teams going for the Liverpool double up.
Thinking of it myself now, but struggling to split Firmino and Coutinho (already have Salah).
Have ruled out Mane on the basis I think he will be protected the most, Coutinho looks sensational at the moment but I'm happy with my midfield and there are loads of other great options anyway. Firmino appeals because the striking options are still pretty poor generally and after the premiums he looks the next best - perhaps better than some of the premiums?
Only thing bothering me is the rotation factor, how often will Sane/Mane/Firmino/Salah all feature from now until January, but is the Liverpool attacking form so good that rotational risks can be ignored like they were with City early season?

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
Just doubled up myself, adding Coutinho to Salah. Sure there will be slight rotation, but as with City they are all well capable of points even if only making a cameo off the bench. I'd say it's very rare that any won't feature at all, but just make sure your bench is okay just in case!

Just like City they won't continue smashing teams all season, but may as well try and take advantage of this hot streak. The other advantage is that as Salah has become so highly owned I don't really gain any ground with him, in fact, I lose out if I don't captain him and the masses do!?!
Did you consider Mane & Firmino, or was it always going to be Coutinho for you?

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
I'm playing 3-5-2 at the moment with Kane/Morata so Firmino wasn't really an option for me. He probably would have been the one if I had three up front though. Mane I really like, but couldn't quite stretch. To be honest I think you can't really go far wrong with any of them, they'll all score well I'd imagine, just hard to predict which one will in any given week.Gambit wrote: ↑07 Dec 2017, 19:23I agree, Im going to double up I think.Notned wrote: ↑07 Dec 2017, 19:16 Just doubled up myself, adding Coutinho to Salah.

On a purely player v player basis, I'd favour Coutinho, especially if he now has penalties in addition to free kicks, corners etc
but whereas you are happy with your strikers, I'm happy with my midfield, and also happy with the multitude of different options that are available if anything changes.
up front? I've had so much messing about with the strikers that I'd gladly play a 3-7-0 if FPL allowed it, my hope is that Firmino could provide some stability and I just leave him there this entire festive period safe in the knowledge he should be in the points when he plays.
no price rises due tonight I don't think, so another night to sleep on it.

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
If Milner now comes in for Moreno he probably resumes penalty duties. Thought occurred to me just as I was enjoying discovering Coutinho had taken a penalty v Spartak

Don't be ridiculous. Robertson will come in for Moreno and will also resume penalty duties. Choo choo

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
Agreed. I've gone with Hazard and a Chelsea defensive double up rather than Morata, so it was basically a choice between Vardy and Firmino for my second striker. I've gone Firmino and I think he'll score well despite the occasional rotation.Gambit wrote: ↑07 Dec 2017, 19:53

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
LFC hold all the cards and are not getting Keita until summer. Why would they sell him in winter halfway through the season? I remember saying here earlier Coutinho will not go until next summer, like the Suarez situation. That won't change either.

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
It's not his decision, it's the clubs, he signed a contract. So if Klopp says 'sorry, you're here until summer' then that's that. Unless some breakthrough happens with Leipzig and Keita.

Re: Well apart from Salah. Which other Liverpool midfielder is worth picking
The point I was making is, it's virtually impossible for LFC to let Coutinho go when they don't have someone else of quality coming in. They make a lot of daft decisions but they're not that daft to sabotage themselves halfway through the season by letting one of their best assets go.
