Any good news from Liverpool fans about Darwin? Was it flu or cold, and is he in contention to play on Wednesday? I have so many questions, but I need answers. The destiny of my team rest on his shoulder.

I transferred him in knowing about injury but I thought it was nothing serious if he played that CL match. Unfortunately I don't see Klopp risking him so soon now that he has some other attacking options back and after he was not even on bench last time.

Yeah, I gambled w Nunez and it didn't work out, for reasons absolutely out of our hands (or shoulders). Apparently he can't even move the arm now, don't think he should have been playing!

I know it's an early question to ask for MD26 but I'll get Rashford back in my team (I used FH chip). So... Rashford v Liverpool = more points in the bag for believers and more misery for the Reds? Or do I be stupid and weed out United in favour of Salah + co?

If Darwin Nunez doesn't play tomorrow, it would amount to almost a triple lost for me, especially If I have to bring in Trippier back after their tough run of fixture or ahead off their double gameweek, because I had Olie watkins who eventually scored, but to get Nunez in I had to trade Trippier for the cheaper Coleman to bring Nunez in for watkins, and at least I would have gotten points from the player that rendered my Everton triple defense lineup pointless. Salah probably stays on for me, De Bruyne is seemingly injured, and Salah with no other form competition to play in than to save Liverpool season would be better choice to KDB imo.

If Darwin Nunez doesn't play tomorrow
~snip

he is still questionable, not out of team, as on weekend, so maybe he will show up eventually

looking at matches, somehow I think that having two Evertonias in defense, and three Arsenal players in midfield/offense should bring some points in the end, one way or another
brought in Allison for this round, and it is good so far, thought about Gomez too, but lucky I didn't, since he is injured

I don't think Nunez will be risked. He has shoulder injury and those are tricky in a way you can play but you make it worse. So I am thinking Klopp will leave him to heal completely and maybe use him as a sub towards the end if the result is not in Liverpool's favor.

Really bad GW so far, I need some heroics from multiple players today to salvage at least a bit from it. For instance it would be good if Arsenal wins 6:2 and Tarkowski scores both goals for Everton and Salah scores hat trrick on Trent assists with Liverpool keeping a clean sheet. Yeah not gonna happen but I can dream for now.

I don't mind at all if Salah scores three goals, only with the difference that Gakpo or Robertson will get all the assists.

Dream on mates! That's all we just literally are, dreamers! The discussion has been with the hope that Nunez does play, but now it's Cody Gakpo on the bench, lol. Ironically there is all the possibilities that players who stuck with Haaland as their captain for the gameweek and didn't go rogue to have 3 players from Liverpool might end up being better off than we the pathetic overthinkers, I mean take a look at the current team leading the pool for the week he didn't even touch his team and have 4 players that didn't play in his starting xi, but still have more than twice the points, I have so far.

Nunez is within starting eleven, so guess shoulder injury is not that bad, or win against Wolves is more important than him
with Real match closing (but they don't have much to play for)

on the other side, Nketiah is obviously hitting bench now, it was not a one time situation, it is a standard, Martinelli is in

Nketieh is a must transfer out for me before GW27 because he is out of form and will be on the bench for a long time with how the other players around him are performing, Trosasard did not come to play as a sub to inexperienced Nketieh, he has already secured his position in the team.

I'm glad Darwin can get us something; I was hoping to swap him for Toney, but the Toney news is confusing at the moment.

I will be rid of Nketiah in due time too, there are more tempting alternatives tp bring in for him and If Trossard is enough to be a big threat to his playing minutes, I wonder what the imminent return of Gabriel Jesus will then add to that situation, and I'd rather not wait to find out the hard.

Here comes Saka paying dividends for ruining my triple Everton defense setup and it going to be like that for a while for me.

Another bad captain choice from me. I made the same mistake in the previous GW. I'm used to getting my first option fucked a few minutes before games, so I was hoping Salah would actually cook this DGW. If we're being honest, no Liverpool or Chelsea player is worth having at this point. lol Darwin with another pointer

Pained.

[Trofo]

Arsenal absolutely flying, glad to see them perform this well. Again sharing the attacking returns between all the forward players. Too bad we now have rotation to consider in Arsenal, it seems like Nketiah, Trossard and Martinelli are sharing minutes now and with the return of Jesus it will only get worse. Saka absolutely essential, what was I thinking to captain Salah before him? 

Nunez actually scored for Liverpool but his goal was overturned by VAR. He just can't catch a break, he either misses or VAR stops him.

At least thanks to Tsimikas, the curly hairy flop finally gets one on the plate and he surely couldn't have miss that under any circumstance right ? I was already ruing my captaincy choice, and going with Salah was purely out of logic and not out of conviction, but it's still going to barely pay off, but then who's that with the Martinelli captaincy in the pool ? That's clairvoyant right ? because Martinelli that no would have believed would play 90 for both games combined is already on 46 points for him, that's not including the imminent bonus points, just wow!!!

Some excellent results in the FA Cup ties yesterday and this evening will help those without their FH chip get around BGW28/32 as painlessly as possible, as there aren't many blanks. On the other hand, those who still have it can attack 34 or 37 and jump in the overall rankings.

87 points all out and a small green arrow for me. Using my FH in this gameweek was more about damage control than trying to gain rank, as my non-FH team would have scored exactly 30 points less.

Disaster successfully averted!

Yeah, yesterday was a very good day for Fantasy managers. Not only we got some points but cup games were played and now we have more info to plan ahead.

I belive this is the time to use my wildcard to get the team ready for upcoming doubles and blanks. I have 0 Brighton and Brentford players at the moment and I want at least 4, preferably 5 or 6 going forward.

some points getting in, although Everton defense didn't make anything good
but that was a point in hedge, it will go either on Everton or Arsenal side

why you would use WC for next week, I am thinking about FH for Brighton, Brentford, not sure they will going to prove worth on several weeks in the team
trying to think it through for the rest of the season, and Brighton and Brentford do not seem as teams that have much to fight for till the end, maybe Europa/Conference league spot

Well Brentford has 6 games in 4 game weeks and Brighton has 5. Both teams have been performing quite well and both teams have some great players with budget friendly prices. Fixtures aren't bad either. While at the same moment I have a lot of United and Liverpool players that have though fixtures and just 3 games in next 4 game weeks. Arsenal is only top team worth the money at the moment and I need to exchange Nketiah to defender there. I also have Bueno who is out for a long time. Just a lot of things to take care off.

Darwin will always remind me of Werner every time I watch him play, I notice the same similarities and abilities: good work rate, good positioning, good pace, and Benteke's finishing touch, and every time they score, the VAR is on their tail. During his Chelsea career, Werner had 16 goals disallowed.

It was a good GW from me, but it could have been much better if I had left Saka as captain.

[buwaytress]

Small wins for me with Arsenal players, all good point collections (shame I used captain on Salah but who was to know we'd draw a Palace blank?).

So I got my old squad now, feel like I could have used FH chip better but not complaining for a better-than-average haul, actually climbed a couple of spots in the crap league, and making myself feel better about everything.

I'm with Trofo, bringing back Brentford and Brighton players (they were anyway in my squad for value). I will likely want to hold on to Saka/Rashford, despite tough games, but I do want to avoid the derby as I have a feeling we'll beat United.

Gonna be a penalty week for me, but I don't mind really.

I'm also rooting for Brentford and Brighton here they've got a lot players with great points potential to choose from, but the problem now is that almost every single player on the FPL portal have the yellow caution on them, I'm currently having five of them on my team that's got the yellow and any further transfer will be extra points deducted, I just want finish this game week issh free or at at least not drop too many points

Darwin to Toney is no longer an option for me, so I'm looking for Darwin replacements right now.

I already have two Brighton players, and my team is set to play until GW 29.
What are your thoughts, Darwin owners? Should I keep him or sell him
