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.

    Decided on a front 2 of a 442. If money wasnt an issue, which is the best front two pairing:

    Aguero Auba
    Auba Firmino
    Firmino Auba

    Thanks!

      Leaning towards Firm and Auba as they are first choice strikers at their clubs, whereas Aguero always at risk of rotation, but appreciate he has the explosive factor

          i don't think your going to be 'left behind' for not having a newly promoted defender whose current TSB is 4.8%.

          5m is too much for a newly promoted defender who is unproven in the league. Your better off going with Keane from Everton for the same price...

    Usually early RMT to put the feelers out:

    Beg/Boruc
    Bailly/Ced/Tark (Evans/Wan-B)
    Mhki/Mahrez/Martial/Salah (Romeu)
    Firm/Aguero/Wilson

    Plan to WC mid Sept once World Cup options have freshened up.
    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?

          Think Davis usually plays 10 so he might be most at risk.

          BTW you think Lemina starts over Romeu? Romeu was my safe starter pick for a cheap sub

            Yeah you're right. Romeu started most games last season.
            They also have Hojbjerg, so I am also not completely sure about the CDM situation.

        I would have thought so, usually seems to be one of their most threatening, especially with Tadic gone but I didn't know about those two

          Probably right, but maybe needs some monitoring pre-season.

        Cheers. That's in a 5-2-3 so looks a bit wrong (see few posts above) but it's got decent coverage...

    Where does Cairney play? At which position? Attacking enough?
    Thanks!

      Basically as a traditional 'No 8' in a 4-3-3.

    Was talking to a Newcastle man yesterday. Was heading to Inchicore later so I asked him to keep an eye on Kenedy for me. He reckons The Toon will get Townsend back again and might sell Ritchie. We both shook our bewildered heads.....

    Went without membership last season, that did not end well. Renewed this season, looking forward to hours and hours looking into stats, yet to fail miserably!

    Weak midfield I know, but Cairney and Deulofeu can still grab me a few points...

    De Gea

    Coleman - Mendy - Robertson
    Salah - Mahrez - Deelofeu - Cairney
    Aguero - Firmino - Tosun

    Subs - Wan.Bis - Peltier - Gunnarson

    Expensive defense I know but I kinda like it... thoughts?
