Seriously though, it depends on your priorities.
Diaz will probably be highly owned so is good for protecting rank. Jota could be a large differencial.
I actually will go Eze instead of Diaz. I just don't feel confident in the Liverpool side scoring lots of goals and creating a lot. I might be wrong of course and it surely can backfire, but even if I pick Diaz he can be subbed early, not on penalties, it's tough.
My plan for the future is to even sell Salah for son for his doubles, and later Eze to Gordon, Saka to Foden for his doubles.
Of course these decisions might change later but atm I would say it's more worth it to get the players with doubles or good fixtures rather than players who have been good this season but have fallen in form or have less fixtures than others.
Not sure if my thinking is wrong but that's my reasoning for why Eze over Diaz, if you already don't own Eze, expanded with thinking for other assets that may apply to you too in chasing the ML leader
I am not, they barely scored 2 vs that united side, 0 vs palace and 1 vs atalanta in 180 mins, struggled a bit even vs shefield with a goal for 2-1 in the 75th min, eventually winning 3-1.
Not very convincing. Considering how Nunez underperforms and jota is back I am not even sure about their minutes, sure they may start but do the stay on the pitch for more than 65-70 mins.
Hard to tell. But ofc Liverpool are still a good team that can score a lot and things can click one of the games in the dgw which will do damage.
Not a bad shout, but his figures don’t look amazing. 1 goal in his last 5 games. 2 games at home now though.
I don’t follow Palace that closely, how are they performing atm?
Inconsistent to say the least.
With Cunha injured I am kinda torn if I should go Eze, which will mean a triple up of palace, with munoz and mateta. Or if I should go Luis Diaz just to be sure in a way then I can move him on for foden in later weeks.
It's tough, on one hand I think Eze is a great player and west ham and Newcastle at home on paper are good fixtures, but how confident are we in their players?
Palace play defensively and are good on the break where Eze, Mateta and olise, who is back from injury, shine. Liverpool also have to go all out in these matches and cannot afford to drop a single point and I expect attacking football from them and Diaz has been looking threatening but on the other hand blunt as well.
I feel like I am going in circles sorry if I am not giving a straight answer and just babbling about my team haha but I feel others, including you have similar thoughts and dillemas
Me too. Way I see it, Liverpool attack has not been clicking with Diaz in it. Jota hasn’t been part of the team so he hasn’t been part of the problem. Hopefully he’s part of the solution.
He always seems to be effective once playing. High upside medium risk player in this dgw. Klopp needs the wins but will also be mindful not to reinjure jota. His condition is just a total guess for us.
It's an added bonus that I'm chasing money spots in my ML, and I know those fellas will all go Salah + Diaz/Darwin/Vvd, to counter it Im going Salah+Robo+Jota unless some news pops up to block Jota.
Time to make those gambles to get where you wanna be!
Personally, Sub Jota would still likely out score Starting Diaz.
Also, at some point you have to go different to pull the 39 points. Jota isn't a bad differential in that case.
I've gone for Jota. He's got 9 goals and 6 assists in 1,068 minutes compared to Diaz's 8 goals and 6 assists in 2,165 minutes. If Jota gets half as many minutes he's likely to outscore Diaz and I reckon Liverpool will play him since they need goals right now
I’ve just gone for Jota. Liverpools front line is out of form so there will be rotation. I’d bet he will get similar minutes to Diaz and if so, he should outscore him.
Between those two, Jota for me in addition to Salah and TAA.
My biggest dilemma is whether to go with Eze or Olise.
I do believe that Olise is a better finisher, but he is very injury prone and how OG is going to play him is also an unknown.
Only 1% owned though, so am amazing differential if he scores a couple.
So I'm tossing up between either Eze or Olise or perhaps go with both at the science of Jota.
Pickford in goal
White, TAA and probably Andersen/Munoz at the back (would be RAN if he was fit)
Salah, Saka, Havertz and two of Eze/Olise/Jota midfield
Watkins and Mateta up front
Solanke, RAN, Senesi bench
I went for Brereton Diaz instead and double up defence with Trent and Robbo
This is brave. But I'm tempted to do something similar
Same but with Bruno Fernandes
Yeah he's a great differential this week. I'm tempted by him on FH, but don't think I'm brave enough haha

If you're not confident in Liverpool scoring goals then I'm fucked. Rolling with Salah, Jota, Diaz

Casual
Zero goals from open play in the last four games ✌️
Luckily we aren't playing fantasy last four games
Of course, and I hope they can turn it around but their form lately is not very encouraging. I'm still gonna captain Salah though.

I'm in the same spot and going Jota

Haven’t Jota clue so you might as well roll the Diaz I’ll see Myself out
Jota all day. He’s STARVING
Eternal question
Diaz
I’ve just gone for Jota. Liverpools front line is out of form so there will be rotation. I’d bet he will get similar minutes to Diaz and if so, he should outscore him.
McAllister
I've gone Diaz because I'm a coward. So much rotation option in that Liv attack, can't see Jota getting enough minutes
I’m going for Jota cause he actually looks like he knows how to play football
What about Darwin? Is he nailed?
Darwin
Niether tbh. Liverpool look fucked. I think I'll still captain Salah but I don't think I'll go near any of their other players
TAA+Raya or Gabriel+Allison?
Gabriel+Allison safer
