Fantasy managers will be heavily reliant on the exploits of their Liverpool assets after a tough start to Gameweek 3.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), the most captained player of the weekend, will be the key focal point while Sadio Mané (£9.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) should make a difference too.

Salah himself has 54 percent ownership while the other members of his front three are both backed by more than 30 percent.

There will also be hopes for another Liverpool clean sheet with Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m) in 19, 18 and 16 percent of squads, respectively.

Liverpool are unchanged for a third Premier League match in succession, great news for Fantasy managers currently tripled-up on Jurgen Klopp’s extremely settled side.

Meanwhile, Pascal Groß (£6.9m) was named on the bench as Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) comes into the line-up to play just behind Glenn Murray (£6.5m)

There was one change in defence with Leon Balogun (£4.5m) coming in for Lewis Dunk (£4.5m).

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

BRIGHTON XI (4-4-1-1): Ryan; Bong, Balogun, Duffy, Montoya; March, Propper, Stephens, Knockaert; Bissouma; Murray

    Thoughts on chances Richarlison's red card getting rescinded?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      More chance of getting extended if they appeal.

    3. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zero point zero chance

    4. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It could get extended to 4-5

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Don't be silly

    5. cheekumz
      8 years, 1 month ago

      erm... not a chance... blatant headbutt off the ball never getting overturned

    6. Limbo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kirby Love Tap. 3 Games. Sell Sell Sell.

    7. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds unanimous then. I get rules are rules but hardly a headbutt. I would rather give Smith a ban that him for the pretending he hit him hard. Gives football a bad rep for non football fans.

      1. Own Goal
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Non football fans will never see it.
        They don't watch football, you know.

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Only football fans watch football? What are you on about?

  2. Bubz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Robertson is the best thing to come out of Scotland since bagpipes

    1. The Wise Owl
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't forget kilts!

    2. Jafooli
      8 years, 1 month ago

      😮

      1. Bubz
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And square sausage

        1. Jafooli
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Now we’re talking 😀

          In a roll with salt & sauce 😎

    3. Kermit Special
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would say Haggis

      1. FPL Pillars
        8 years, 1 month ago

        least no one said Andy Murray

    4. Pooodle
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He is looking class today.

    5. Essan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, Runrig - was there in Stirling for the Last Dance last weekend. Still mourning

      (google it)

    6. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Combo slice (square sausage with black pudding in the middle). Try it. Godly.

      1. Bubz
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That does sound exceptional

    7. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Silly people raising his price before this game is over.

  3. Rainer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Wake up Maneee

  4. Nickyb5000
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lol @ zero point zero

  5. whaakan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How can Wilson only be on 4 BPS with 2 assist??

      1. RomeluStormzy
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why is King's goal worth more than others?

        1. thedarkhorse
          8 years, 1 month ago

          i would presume because he's a forward

          1. RomeluStormzy
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Makes sense!

      2. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This is awesome. Thanks

  6. Limbo
    8 years, 1 month ago

    There's crisps on the pitch. They think it's salt and vinegar.

    1. Duffy Dunk
      8 years, 1 month ago

      *Vinagre

      1. Limbo
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Doh!

        1. HurriKane
          8 years, 1 month ago

          *viagra

  7. Feloh
    8 years, 1 month ago

    still a made despite the salah goal.

    1. Feloh
      8 years, 1 month ago

      mare****

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino shot over

  9. AC Me Rollin
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why is Wijnaldum playing so deep? Wasn’t he scoring hat tricks for Newcastle a couple years ago

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Played more or less in the 10 for Newcastle, didn't he? Liverpool have better attacking players for the forward slots.

    2. pjomara
      8 years, 1 month ago

      hat tricks? plural?
      Don't think he ever scored a 3 goal hat trick, just a 4 goal one.

  10. Duffy Dunk
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I think Pedro is by far the best straight replacement for Richarlison.
    Form, fixtures, big team.
    What do you think?

    1. Bubz
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good shout

    2. Limbo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wait and see on Chelsea game IMO.

    3. Butcher
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not if you have Hazard

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I already have Hazard. Set to get both at the moment

    4. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m not 100% sure if he is nailed on. Theo is good pick too.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This other than the Theo comment. Not convinced that’s worth it

    5. Holmes
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Gametime issue

    6. Richd
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Or Walcott. Maybe even Jota again now he’s cheaper.

      Something fun to ponder.

    7. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Him or Walcott for me, forced transfer, but I was actually going to go Bilva to Pedro, but Everton fixtures to good to ignore

    8. Kermit Special
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Theo. Pedro prone to rotation

  11. La Roja
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino and Robbo are best players on the pitch so fat

    1. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So far*

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        😆

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t fat shame

    3. Jafooli
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Luke Shaw that you?

      1. La Roja
        8 years, 1 month ago

        😀

  12. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm. Kepa Mee Richarl to Schmeichel Alonso Gundo actually looks decent

    On another note, Robertson is top class mate

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ridiculous just get rid of Rich

    2. Zilla
      8 years, 1 month ago

      it doesn't

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why

  13. Keno
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Rich--->Walcott good move?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I personally do not like it. Seems so sideways, and short term too. You’d prefer richarlison when he’s back anyway

      1. Keno
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He could be gone for 4-5 matches though is the problem

      2. Richd
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Well you can’t sit on a player who you’ve gained value on and will lose it.

        Gotta move on and switch back later if you feel like it

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This ^

        2. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Oh I’m not proposing keeping richarlison. Just don’t think Walcott the best pick

          1. Richd
            8 years, 1 month ago

            How’s it sideways. You’re replacing a guy who can’t play?

            Sideways would be king to wilson. Both play.

      3. Simon69
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Awful advice

    2. Jafooli
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wally or Pedro or maybe BSilva?

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, i almost went Wally on my WC, i should of. Or if you want to save money then go for cheaper to upgrade elsewhere.

    4. Limbo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Got in Wally last week. Had both. No regrets.

  14. Royal5
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino can't finish

    1. The Wise Owl
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think he can, ask his partner

  15. Chucky
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino looking very lively

  16. OPTA FPL
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'am the only one keep Richarlison for 2 games ban? Have Cainey vs Brighton so not big problem

    1. Richd
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dead teams will also keep him

    2. The Wise Owl
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't you mean 3 game ban?

      1. Konig Luther
        8 years, 1 month ago

        cup

      2. OPTA FPL
        8 years, 1 month ago

        1 in Carabao cup

        1. The Wise Owl
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ah!

          1. OPTA FPL
            8 years, 1 month ago

            rule has changed this season, but only for YC, RC still the same

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could be even like 4 games

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why would it be 4?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Or even 7!

      2. OPTA FPL
        8 years, 1 month ago

        read the rule mate

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mane has been poor

    1. Royal5
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Shocking

    2. Jafooli
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t say that, he’ll get subbed....

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry all I brought him in this week

    3. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I thought he was poor vs Palace too. AWB was owning him until he got sent off

  18. Sanguinista
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which of Pool's next 5 will you go with Salah (C)? Note that they have a CL fixture before the Southampton home game & after the Chelsea away game? Chances of Salah getting rested against SOU?

    1. lei
    2. tot
    3. SOU
    4. chel
    5. CITY

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly ever got rested last season though?

    2. Konig Luther
      8 years, 1 month ago

      he probably will rest for CL game

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lei, and Sou, probably.

    4. Jafooli
      8 years, 1 month ago

      All except when Kun at home vs bottom half team and Salah away.

    5. Bubz
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zero chance of him getting rested

    6. Sanguinista
      8 years, 1 month ago

      When Salah plays lei, Kun plays NEW, Hazzy plays BOU. Yes, last season Chelsea lost 0-3 at home but doubt it's happening again.

    7. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What's the CL fixture? A tough game or some jabroni team?

      1. Sanguinista
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Doubt fixtures are out yet, just the dates.

    8. F_Ivanovic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only Southampton one looks appealing considering the good fixtures some other teams have

      1. Sanguinista
        8 years, 1 month ago

        So then, would you keep him on a WC :)?

  19. Jafooli
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah averaging a goal a game in last 29 games 😮

  20. ZeBestee
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How many passes misplaced by Mane? Shaqiri is lurking..

    1. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I really really hope so 8)

  21. Bubz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah lost his baps yet?

  22. Essem
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mane has missed every single pass so far. Might do Richarlison and Mane to Pedro and Hazard if Richarlison gets a ban.

    1. Essem
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cannot afford that. Bernardo instead of Richarlison then. Will Richarlison get three games?

  25. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think is the best option for 5.0?

    I have Neves and 3x Chelsea so I can't get Kante. Maybe Masuaku and leave 0.5 in the bank?

      Yep

    2. ZeBestee

      Yeah score together with Mayo

      Oh blimey you have no patience and they have good fixtures.

  29. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Are Everton fixtures really so amazing (in the long term especially) that you want to do such a sideways move as Richarlion to walcott?

    Not proposing keeping Rich, just think there are better options out there.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison Pedro and Walcott are all in my thinking.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not particularly, but 4 home games in next 6 and one of the away games is Arsenal.

  30. Whats the Mata?
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What a rough.

    Could've done Bailly to Laporte for free instead did Bailly, King --> Alonso, Ings (-4)

    Laporte + King + 4 = 21

    Currently have 2 + Alonso.

    1. La Roja
