    Top Shelf must be having a good score, every time I look up who has a player having a hot day, MacAllister, Rashford, Chill etc his name is on top...

    If anyone wants to play the Champions League fantasy game we have an 'All Rocks' league there. Those that played last year can rejoin the same league by clicking on the 'leagues' tab in the game. Anyone else can DM me for the league code if they'd like to join.

    First deadline/match is tomorrow.

    How did y'all trick me into happily picking # 1o_O

    ""In 2022, Liverpool have now played 38 games in all competitions, Salah has started 80% of them and only scored in 8 of those matches. Would be 6 games if you take pens away." - Andy Martin

    (it is on twitter so must be true)

    Taking Vardy over Sterling as my round one pick is beginning to haunt me.

    Taking Salah over Haaland, after many sleepless hours beginning to haunt meo_O

    Today, just not taking Son, my usual first round pick haunting me...
    (what beautiful goals to break his dry spell)
    (a bit painful deep inside that one of my favorite players in World Football is a tot:unsure:)

    Anyone here old enough to remember when having Liverpool defenders was a good thing:confused: some ol git even successfully drafted their fullbacks 1st and 2nd one year...

    And how do i get the League to do a dna test on the imposter wearing the Salah jersey :(

    I've had strong double Liverpool defence this year and in 20/21, both dodging good years like a pro.

    I know LIV has multiple defensive issues but it only takes one to seriously jeopardize the fantasy values of the rest. The league has figured out who is the weakest link...:cautious:. As for Salah, thank you for taking him first. I'd have surely grabbed him had you passed on him:eek:.

    Small Rocks standings for the first quarter of the season thru GW10:

    Top Shelf......... 534
    Glorydaze........ 505
    FCSP............... 479
    Keysersoze..... 419
    dawgs............. 416
    ColdDogSoup.. 381
    Journeymen.... 378
    Tangers........... 348

    A gap emerging between the top 3 and the rest, but it is still close enough at the top and bottom to be interesting for everyone!

    I dont think you get any points but I read Salah had a Euro hat trick today.... Maybe he's turned the corner and it's the beginning of a good spell for you. He tailed off for ne at the end of the year but they come in bunches when he's on. Good luck.

    Well, after 16 years of living abroad (Australia and Canada) I have returned to the motherland and am now back in the UK.

    I look forward to some big January signings, perhaps now I'll be awake when they are added?!

    It's bumpy times for the dawgs. While Saka, Son, Shaw, and Pickford went to the World Cup and still managed to play in GW17, Lloris, Dalot, Dias, Walker, Maddison, and Richarlison all went to the World Cup and yet all are apparently injured or needing a rest........ I probably should have just cleaned house last week when trades were free but couldn't bring myself to do a full re-shuffle. For a squad of only 6 players who got minutes, I guess I can't complain about a score in the mid-30s, but this group won't be making up any ground until I can start fielding 11 again.....

    I don't really expect Lewis to play a lot for MCI but at 3.9 and playing well at midfield perhaps he gets a chance to earn a few starts.:sneaky:

    We have reached the midpoint--setting aside the one canceled GW. Standings thru GW19:

    Top Shelf......... 975
    Glorydaze........ 912
    FCSP............... 880
    dawgs............. 835 (+1)
    Journeymen.... 803 (+2)
    Keysersoze..... 785 (-2)
    ColdDogSoup.. 781 (-1)
    Tangers........... 735

    No changes since the last update in the top 3 or at the very bottom, but some shuffling in the middle, and the gap from 4 to 7 is only 54 points.

    Salah now in his longest non-scoring streak in quite awhile, he continues like this my Chelsea will probably buy him again as he would fit right in. And despite all the evidence to the contrary I let Liverpool scare me into waiting a week for March:rolleyes:

    Manager A'rry Paws has received a full vote of confidence from an undisclosed location where the Chairmen and Board are cowering in fear after numerous threats from supporters.

    This new time zone is giving me a chance now with transfer additions. I need all the help I can get, it's been a challenging season.

    I am pretty gutted we missed out on him though. He is a fantastic player and could make an instant impact assuming he does not get sent off this weekend.

    I look forward to seeing Mudryk and Felix together, ala Kane & Son, as you say if he does not get sent off and we can field 11 semi-healthy players. Y'all gunners have got enough scorers, where as Chelsea is the only team that scores less than me this year in FPL.

    Apologies. Been away from the game for a couple of weeks due to family issues. Could someone explain what the + & - in brackets indicate?
