🧐 Analysis of upcoming fixtures
🏆 Top 3 assets from each team
🌟 Best differentials

Thread 🧵 Image
🔴 Liverpool (GW23-33)

You’re putting yourself at a major disadvantage if you’re not tripling up on Liverpool from this week.

Great fixtures in both the short and long term - and DGW24 makes it even better.

Top Assets:

🥇 Salah
🥈 Trent
🥉 Gakpo

🌟 Szoboszlai Image

🍬 Everton (GW24-29)

Two home games in DGW24, followed by some nice fixtures against leaky defences.

Bonus, they also have a guaranteed fixture in BGW29.

Owning one or two Everton assets won’t hurt.

Top Assets:

🥇 DCL
🥈 Pickford
🥉 Mykolenko

🌟 Ndiaye Image
