LFC Youngsters

With the dust having settled on the pre season hype around Brewster after his scoring spree in friendly matches, I feel there is an opportunity here.
There is a clear gap between 3 of the kids on the fringes of LFC first team.
Brewster 2.17
Elliott 2.10
Jones 1.42As a Liverpool fan, these prices look lopsided to me and I’ve duly loaded up with 800 shares of Jones.
Curtis Jones always stands out when I see him play, he looked assured and confident when playing in the league cup (scored winning pen against Arsenal in front of the kip) and he is expected to captain the side in LeagueCup QF against Villa (see Neil Jones goal article).
He is playing well in the U23’s as captain of the side and very highly thought of at the club. What’s more he was included in the match day squad in the UCL match against Genk whereas no place for Brewster or Elliott.
Jones appears to be knocking on the door a lot harder than Brewster currently, while Elliott still needs more time to bed in and develop.
I expect some volatility in the coming weeks with a potential loan deal for Brewster in Jan and more chances for minutes in the first team with this relentless schedule coming up.
Now is the dangerous time for all three as they will be expected to deliver on their potential to an extent. How will the market react?
Let’s see.
But I believe Curtis Jones has great chance to climb above the other two in the FI pecking order.

4-0 after 25 minutes in UEFA youth league v Napoli.
Jones, Elliott and Williams absolutely tearing them to pieces. Particularly Williams and Elliott down the right side.
Edit. 5-0 27 minutes
-
I hold 1,300 futures in Herbie Kane (57p).
With the first team squad away for the Club World Cup, I think he'll start against Aston Villa in the League Cup on 17th December.
But beyond that and given the strength in depth in Liverpool's midfield, it looks like he'll need to move in January to get regular first team football. A smaller PB-league club would be great, but even a loan to a Championship club (like Swansea) could be a positive, as there are plenty of young players at 80p+ or £1+ in that league.

@Gregolocky Curtis Jones has scored two, high hopes for him
-
Jones with two goals and assist at HT 5-0 against Napoli in UEFA Youth League.
Great timing!!!
-
@9stevo he’s playing well no doubt, but imo it’s the combination of Williams and Elliott that stands out the most.
Plus Napoli are woeful
-
@Gregolocky I'm really excited about Elliot, mad how young he is and Williams looked great against Arsenal in the league cup
-
@9stevo hat trick jones, just scored an absolute belter off his left foot🤭
-
@Gregolocky seen, brilliant news
-
Hat Trick for Jones 🤪!!
Agreed, Napoli are awful. They got smacked 5-1 at home against to Salzburg last time out.
-
@9stevo if I didn’t buy 500 Kroos last night I’d be ploughing into Jones right now 😂
-
@Gregolocky I have 1000 that I got for 87p 😀
EDIT: thats Jones not Kroos BTW imagine 1000 Kroos at 87p 😱🤑🤣
-

@ScouseSte come on the MB points!!
-
Jones, Brewster and Elliott will travel to Qatar for Club World Cup! Didn’t expect that... was hoping they’d get a run out against Villa in League Cup.
How will market react?

Free money.
It makes sense by klopp though.
He is "honouring" both tournaments by not withdrawing from either, but cleverly he is not-so-subtly sacrificing the league cup - the one which inevitably leads to more games (distractions) should Liverpool progress and keep progressing.I expect he will start the likes of Jones and maybe Brewster or Elliot in the Club World Cup too. I doubt he'll risk a full strength starting 11. The league title is too inportant
-
Odd decision.
None of the three have looked to be in contention for the first team in the league so aren't really needed. Thought they would have kept the league Cup team together.
Re OP, you would probably say the three of them probably should be in the 1.50 bracket. I would be worried about Brewster if I held, klopp was claiming he would be getting game time and he hasn't which indicates he isnt doing as well as hoped. Could follow the Sinclair, solanke path of drifting down.
