🟥 LFC DGW25 Thought Dump 🟥
UPDATE:
I watched the “Inside Training” video on LFC TV…
Gym, dribbling challenges, loser pushups, passing rondos, attack vs defence, shooting practice.
Salah involved in the passing rondos and dribbling challenges only. NOT, I repeat, NOT
Were they right?
"Nkunku will cover Palmer & you save £4m"
Answer: What they forgot to add was Nkunku wouldn’t even play. He’s played 57, 7 and 4 minutes in the first 3 games.
He’s racked up a whopping 3 points at an average of 1 point per game. ❌
“Players who haven’t left

Things I’ve noticed so far that are

relevant. Please share as I start to ramp up my Liverpool coverage, heading into the new season! My first trip to Anfield is on Sunday when we play Sevilla.

New “Inside Training” video on LFCTV
Chiesa is here and he’s looking super happy!
Stretching and breathing routines followed by the usual gym work.
Sprint work again with the big heavy medicine balls. Looks like someone could seriously get injured with this stuff but it
@FPLMate
It’s abysmal isn’t it… and to watch 3 or 4 games a week(end) you basically have to fork out £100+ a month in subscription fees.
There is something wrong.
@Joey7Barton
To whomever it may concern, the 3 little dots in the right hand corner of this post CAN help you to mute or even block Joey Barton 👍🏼
Saves you seeing this drivel popping up on your feed.
@FPLOlympian
Another one to watch:
🐺 Mosquera (WOL) - could end up being a first choice CB. Need to see how preseason and incoming transfers play out after Kilman’s departure.
@FPLFocal
The points system needs a rethink… it’s too simple for a complicated game. There needs to be more ways for people who are FPL mad to gain points.
I like what Sky/UEFA have done with their games. Tackles/ball recoveries, extra points for goals outside the box etc
@LewisSteele_
Should do his speaking on the pitch with the ball at his feet… done nothing since 1st January. Not one good performance. Not even one good 10 minute spell!
If Szoboszlai is out for the rumoured 7/8 matches… TAA in midfield is coming… it’s coming in hot…
Hold onto your hats (and your Trents!) 👀

@FPLFocal
I really like the UCL format where you can sub out players who didn’t perform for players who haven’t played yet, utilising your full squad more often and getting rid of people getting “bench fodder”
Darwin Núñez should start midweek. No doubt about it. Yes, there is a chance he is rested (Gakpo) before the weekend trip to Old Trafford but for me it’s as simple as this, he’s our number 9… he makes us better… if Liverpool win every game they’ve won the Premier League title
“This week between Arsenal and Burnley, it is probably the only week, as far as I know, where there is no midweek game. After that we go again with all 3 days” - Jürgen Klopp presser this morning.
A sign that Liverpool/Luton is being rearranged very soon?
I see 6 days between
@FplVelvet
Dubravka doesn’t get the ball. That is clear. He does touch the man. That is clear too. Referee’s on-field decision was penalty. That is clear.
I don’t know how VAR can overturn it, it’s not clear and obvious that it isn’t a penalty… and that’s what VAR is supposed to be
@Corballyred
He was knackered mate. Stopped pressing… he was literally done. I was watching from the stands. Sadly, he’s clearly not 100% fit yet and not ready to play a full game.
@NUFC
Whats the point in charging him again for something new they’ve now found… come on! Give the guy a break, his issues are being addressed and things like this will not help or support him.
The FA should take a better position on this… they’ve already thrown the book at him.
📋 GW1 Predicting Slot (Ipswich - A) 📋
So look, I got overly excited! I admit it… I’ve drafted this thread before we’ve even played our two final preseason games on Sunday. Little bit silly but it’s fine because I will revise what I think early next week (maybe even Sunday
Arne Slot - his history and what we could expect!?
Well, with the news that this is likely going ahead (“HERE WE GO” to be confirmed…) and with the fact that Liverpool almost have nothing to play for now this season and it’s all a bit… dull… I thought I’d have a look at the
🎲 The team & percentages 🎲
Baring any late injuries or exclusions…
Salah 95%
Van Dijk 95%
Tsimikas 90% (or Robertson)
Jota 80% (or Núñez)
Alisson 75% (or Kelleher)
Quansah 70% (or Konaté)
Jones 70% (or Mac Allister/Endo/Gravenberch)
Szoboszlai 70% (or Mac
GW30 is a way off so I’ll likely hold for now… but, Salah and Palmer firmly on my agenda this week, for a -4!
Also, be kind… 🫶
All this “FHitters mudded” / “non-FHitters in the bin” narrative is so boring, it makes me feel queasy.
I didn’t play my FH. I got a rubbish
3:30 is the official lineup… there are differing lineups going around (again!)
Someone is either guessing… or the club is filtering out some garbage to see what sticks!

@DrWaleedKhokhar
Yes, took part in “full team training” but not the entire day of the training session… I’m not sure what to tell you, but Fabrizio wasn’t in Kirkby today at the AXA training centre 🤣
Content creators NEED to use their connections with

to drive the conversation regarding the transparency of price changes! That’s it.
That should be their takeaway from this season… if anything at all.

Agreed… you can plan for a mystery chip. I know we’re all in the same boat and we don’t know but poor planners could end up getting lucky and rewarded for their poor planning 😳

INTEGRAL for the last 3 weeks or so…
LUT - 90 minutes+
CHE - 120 minutes+
SOU - 78 minutes
nfo - 76 minutes
spa - 90 minutes+
MCI - 90 minutes+
All in 17 days… That’s basically a full game every 2 and a half days! 1⚽️ and 3🅰️ during
Normal person seeing Salah kicking a ball with the squad:
“Ok, that’s good and positive but Jürgen Klopp said he would do that this week anyway…”
FPL Community:
“Salah is going to score 12 goals and get 16 assists, after playing 270 minutes against Brentford and Luton”
Come
Rumoured LFC team for tonight is exactly what I needed/wanted to see before making DGW34 predictions…
I wanted to know whether Jürgen Klopp was still treating the tournament as a rest for some (it’ll never be ALL) key players.
Based on today’s home fixture lineup… he is!
@FPLFocal
I don’t get why (if he is) Solanke is locked… isn’t the whole point that if a player isn’t playing and being sold he should drop in price. The end. Why should it matter if he’s been transferred, loaned or injured. FPL managers should have to adapt quickly and make changes or
@FPL_Harry
Simple. Is Watkins essential? Given his start and that he clearly isn’t fully match fit with two early substitutions across the first two games. Also with UCL coming up too…
Assuming this question would be high on people’s radar 🫱🏻🫲🏼
This is me for GW1🔒
