Cutting down the backline is difficult when we literally have every DEF from a decent team at £6.0m - for the first time VD, Cucurella, Gvardiol and Gabriel are £6.0m so how do you navigate this? We used to have a decent 5.0-5.5m DEF, now we don't.

Now it's either you have a decent MID or a decent FWD now way to have both luxury MID and FWD this season.

I can't even tell who's going to lead our FWD this season between Delap and Pedro.

Tried to be exclusive and make picks to certain aspects of the pitch from my FWD, MID, DEF and GK but before I knew it, there was nothing left in my bankroll to settle my bench. Prices was just over it and one really needs to cut down a lot to accommodate. Still don’t know how to fill in certain positions on the pitch yet but, there are certain players I’m sure to start the season with not to come by same mistakes of exclusions due to price over the course of last season.

Diaz feels like he is part of the furniture at Anfield to me, like he has always been there.
Nunez has had more than his time to prove himself at the club with little competition for his spot. He could yet explode at Liverpool for a season or so, but I really cannot see him as a dependable, long term option, too raw of a player.

- Jay -

He’s a very likeable guy but he’s just not good enough to be the main striker at a big club.

I wish him all the best in his career but this Liverpool means business and there’s no room for sentiment.

When I saw that Shubman Gill failed to score a century, I thought it was a typo. I mean, how can you score a century? Is there also a decade? I hope that no cricket fan will be mad at me for saying that, but it really sound funny

I'm honestly surprised that almost everybody picked Salzburg to win, and also that I'm the only one from the LMS crew that had Spain to win with a handicap. That point will be tough to get back in a round like this.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he signed for Chelsea, let’s face it, they’re always in the running to sign everybody

still sick suffering from severe allergies. on some asthma meds.

Prices are locked until the game starts so you are good on that front. Only way you can profit by making a squad early is to target a player that will make a move to the team that you want to have a lot of players from. Let's say in your case you already have 3 LFC players and you hear Palmer is coming to red side. You take him before the transfer is official and you have 4 Liverpool players until the moment you transfer one of them out.

I'm using the app and no problem for me..

It's extremely difficult to field Palmer/Saka, Salah, and Halaand in the same draft right now without reducing the backline to the cheapest available.  The fees are too high for my liking, and I honestly don't know what they (FPL) hope to achieve with a price hike.

The only good explanation I can think of is that this price increase will destroy the regular same lineup templates but still sucks.

Thats wild and both mafia had Hungary and Spain so either one of them gonna have 1 point advantage over him. As for Bublik with a yes, I mean technically he has chances to win, so far he is pretty good though


Go get em tiger !

That is true, you need to be exceptionally good like Haaland at Dortmund to cost that much at that age and Haaland did not even cost that much. Nunex has been at Liverpool 4 years? Seems like he was signed 2 seasons ago.

Every day, I'm delighted we left the deal and found a better deal in Pedro; Ekitike isn't worth that much after one good season.  I won't judge him until he kicks the ball, but has any Liverpool big-money striker ever worked out?  Carroll and Nunez both failed to meet expectations.

Arsenal's getting Gyokeres for €73m in a market where Liverpool paid €92m for Ekitike is a steal.  I know who got a better deal here.

@Un_rank now that a proper striker is here what are your expectations for Arteta this season? No excuses now?

With this era you must need to become a financial literate saving money in the bank is not the best way option right now because with the rapid increase of the inflation the value of the money you keep storing will become limited once you take it out in the bank, having an investment is a must so we are here in the crypto space and one of the best way to put a risk management with the possible token to soar high but again not all the time its a win its a volatile movement.

Try not to push beyond what you can bear and regularly go for checkups to be sure you're not loosing your shoulders any further.

Do not worry about the numbers what truly matters is that your showing up and listening to your body.

You are highly welcome to this push-ups thread, and there is something i want you to understand about this push-ups thread, is that we don't discriminate any members that start with a low number of push-ups because push-ups exercise is something will need to grow gradually by gradually in your total number of push-ups daily, and i believe that with time you will surely improve your number of push-ups daily

Welcome. If you have injuries, it may be helpful to your own building yourself up but not overly stressing your injury to figure some kind of a modification so that you can attempt to get to being able to accomplish at least 10 pushups for each set and then maybe try to do 3 sets each day - perhaps spread through the day - if that is possible.

Phew, I cut this one dangerously close to the deadline. I had luck that I researched some of those questions, so I already knew what I wanted to go with in the first place. Came home 9 minutes before the deadline.

I won't do this again, if my PC restarted I would have lost the round - and I still have all the VAR's and rarely use them.

Over 5x on Germany to win over Spain, goodluck with that but you know everything is possible on women football because they sucks  . Double chance + BTTS actually seems more likely to hit

Nope, did not


We're spending like challengers, meaning that the pressure is now on us to deliver. As many said already, I don't mind it that much.

When LFC dominated the 80's, they were the team that outspent the others. Usually money wins, so it has been frustrating to have to rely on others having bad seasons so we could sneak around and try to poke a trophy.
I like us on even standing ground, let us spend and let us have that pressure. Bring it on

Why always assume the worst and lose gains because of it. You are saying two negative things needs to happen all at the same time.

First, the price of everything should fall, so we are in a bear market, AND then we are going to lose our job at the same time. Isn't that really weird that you want to lose possible gains for a back to back possible bad things?

I do not agree that it's being "prepared", it is being paranoid after a point. If you really want to, 10% of your portfolio could be USDT, and that way you could have some emergency fund.

But, I believe AT LEAST 10x of your emergency fund should be in BTCitcoin.

I think this comes from experience, social class, political/econonomic location. I wasn't even ten when I first saw my parents worrying about money, and this wasn't even close to what happened a decade later in the late 1990s when Asia was thrown into full-blown crisis. I was 17 when that happened. Saw what happened to those who didn't have savings, those who didn't have enough, and my own parents who prepared for the worst.

In societies where the support system is fully reliant on the nuclear family, and then on the extended, you are brought up to prepare for the worst not just for yourself but those within that system. There is no state welfare net to fall into.

So while I'm actually leaning towards your view, I say so having extracted myself from the situation, class and location of my birth. It is easier to take those risks for me, but I comprehend his viewpoint, it having been mine not too long ago.

I have both. Expensive chores, but i am a maniac at keeping the cost as low as possible, and expensive hobbies, while "entertainment" is not quite the thing i gain from them (compared to a round of Players Unknown Battleground, for example), but they keep my interest high (on intervals, though), for various reasons (don't ask).

It is amazing how much those of us who had done most of our bitcoin accumulating prior to 2021 were greatly saved by our having had mostly accumulated our bitcoin prior to then (if we might even use $8k-ish as our average cost per BTC).. and if we had accumulated any kind of bitcoin stash, that bitcoin has largely 15x'd in value in the past 5-ish years, even though fiat based prices might have doubled or maybe a bit more than doubled in some cases in the same time period.. Sure there are some items that might have had tripled in price during that time, but our trusty cornz have more than held their own in the whole scheme of things during the past 5-ish years (again presuming that we had mostly done a large majority of our stashing prior to 2021). 

In a repeat of last week's friendly, Division 1 team buwaytress finally showed some class. Won't last long though..

Bitcoin Smith - buwaytress   4-7

This round is against a top standing team. I hope this losing streak ends and I can start earning points again.

Sure you are on.

It is against the rules but this part of competition doesn't really affect anyone else so why not. We sure aren't backing down from any challenge   Especially considering you and buwaytrees are the only ones that actually took us on.

You mean yourself then? I just checked the table and I am several spots above you. And you can't even claim bad RNG since you have only one correct answer more than me so far. Probably some H2H you managed to win with one correct pick.
