Best Liverpool players to sign on FPL in 2018/19 – Complete Members’ Analysis

1,486 Comments
Share

Mohamed Salah will once again be the key Fantasy Premier League asset to own among Liverpool’s ranks this season.

The Egyptian may have had a huge price hike to £13.0m for 2018/19 but his underlying attacking numbers suggest he deserves to be valued higher than any of his colleagues.

However, there are plenty of cheaper options to consider for our FPL squads too as Jurgen Klopp’s men have a particularly appealing start to the new season.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the important data in the Members’ Area and also read our full analysis of it below to help them pick the best possible FPL team this season.

      A prediction that will probably come back and bite me, but I do feel that Wolves could be a little bit more "special" than the usual promoted team and could have a very decent season.

      From what I can see, their success last year was built around creating a Premier League worthy side rather than a good Championship side. Manager has an excellent pedigree, and they invested in Premier League standard players - or in the case of Neves, arguably Champions League.

      They absolutely dominated the Championship. Their 343 was tactically above everything else, and the quality of the players, especially Neves and Jota, was on a different level. This is not your normal promoted side imo.

    Good moaning

    Our look at James Maddison continues our preseason content: http://whogottheassist.com/prospecting-the-prospects-james-maddison/

    For the uninitiated we look at things a bit differently to FFS' reporting in that we tally up their 'points' last season as if they were in FPL, then use that and comparative stats for sites like Squawka to get a feel for the kind of player they'll be. PtPs on Jota, Sess and more are already complete too.

            Yeah, usually hate 5.0m players. But I intend to play him against everyone but the top 6. Someone like Tomkins can come in for those games. It'll probably mean I play a crappy 4.0m defender less, which can only be a good thing.

        Of course it is to some extent, and we heavily caveat what we write for this exact kind of comment 😉

        It's important as it gives us a feel for the player with a distinctly FPL flavoured twist, otherwise we're just doing what other sites do. It tends to work better when doing big players from foreign sides but hopefully it's still useful as a touchstone to people

          Sure, yes I get that ... caveat should be in your first paragraph though imho 😉

          .... This series analyses a selection of these newcomers to the FPL game by simulating how they would have performed using last season’s stats (wherever they played) as if they had been in FP - of course this does not mean they would have achieved these points but it is nevertheless an interesting analysis for those of us addicted to FPL ....

        I don't think you realise why players will be coming back late. It's not because they're "knackered from the world cup" - it's because they're taking a holiday as they haven't had one all year, and then need to join back up with the squad later.

      He has amazing in his prime, and looked like he was becoming one of the top strikers in the world. Cannot be relied upon with his injury record, and he cannot compete with Firmino. Liverpool need to sell.

        Completely agree. Not worth shifting Firmino to a #10 to accommodate as he’s effectively a #10 anyway. Would weaken the already weak midfield.

      There was a fair amount of noise early on about Man Utd too. For what it's worth I'm sure they won't sell unless the player himself wants to leave. Can't see it right now - he's the star man up front and now he has people who can actually supply him!

    A lot of 4.5 keepers look quite risky

    Fabianski has Adrian for competition
    Foster has Gomes
    Hennessey has Guaita
    Patricio has Ruddy
    Forster has McCarthy

    Even up into 5.0’s has some completion

    Leno/Cech
    Pope/Heston

    Worth taking the risk of going 4.5-4.0?

      I'm currently taking the risk due to budgetary issues, but don't feel entirely comfortable with the situation.

      Looking at Guaita, Fabianski and Patricio, and hoping for some statements coming out to tell us who is nailed - but I guess the safest option might be a Ryan/Steele combination.

      I'm with you - the 4.5's do look quite risky. There's only one there that will be definite (Rui Pat will be an absolute cert). I'd be tempted to go for two from the same team if it didn't block outfield options (e.g. two palace or WH keepers). At the moment I think picking two 4.5's who are 'probable' starters is my choice, but I can see why people are going to Pickford, Ederson etc. for certainty.

      Currently flip flopping between him and Jota.

      Lamela always threatens to have a break out season but never delivers. He'll be a started but in a depleted team - so either he'll be a key man and shine or he'll fall flat. He's also a transfer waiting to happen once the key players return to action.

      Jota is unproven at this level but by all accounts is more than capable and will occasionally play as an OOP striker in a team that are tipped to finish comfortably in the top 10 by most. He's also a main man along side Douglas and Neves so will be nailed on for the season while fit.

    Anyone else finding midfield picks really difficult this year? So much value in the 5-7.5 guys.

    Currently have Salah Willian Jota Hughes as my starting 4 with Cairney 5th mid. Seems crazy to be comfortable with this lot when there's so many big names who are likely to start GW1 from the top 6 available.

    Even if I downgrade one of my forwards or Salah I'm not sure which of those I would upgrade to a big priced mid. Two are going to be crucial to their teams (if Willian stays, if not Pedro who's 0.5m cheaper!) and Hughes and Jota have promising stats.

        Hughes is the pick of the bunch at the 5/5.5 for me and has three favourable first fixtures. His returns when fit last year are great and could easily be a 5m starting mid in my team.

        Cairney is more of the traditional punt type. I think it's more a fear of missing out if I drop him and he starts strong that's eating at me.

    Will rotate Burnley and Southampton defence once GW1 is out the way. Mid 4 should all start initially with question marks over Wilson and Aguero?
