The Club x Club series heads to Anfield, with Karl on research duty for a Liverpool side he genuinely thinks could be special under Iraola. A first season without Salah, Robertson and a raft of old leaders, a busy-but-unfinished window, and the intensity of Iraola-ball across two games a week set up a squad the lads are excited about but wary of.
They map the board. The three back-end-first-round names and the debate over which carries the least risk, a set-piece-enabled midfielder with a hidden multipositional edge, and a striker the group would take over some very big names purely on guaranteed minutes. There's a proper "would you rather" on two of the most consistent defenders in Fantrax history in different shirts, and a real disagreement over a returning-manager reclamation project the hosts can't agree is back to his best or a trap. Plus the pacey full-back sleeper coming at a steep discount, the perennially-owned midfielder Karl thinks should go undrafted, and the injured striker worth stashing on your IR if you fancy playing the long game.
It closes on the eternal question every Liverpool episode must ask: is this finally the year for a certain winger's breakout? As always, everything's timestamped to August 3rd.
