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

          Entry is open when my grav is LMS. Will reopen later tonight.

  2. noahzark22
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Trent and Mane need some passing practice

  3. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    For how long will Richarlison be gone? And if you transfer him out, who is the best replacement in the 6,5 category?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Maddison Pedro and Walcott

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah Walcott should be a nice punt

    2. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Walcott?

    3. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      The correct answer to his replacement is in each of the last 3242354 pages.

    4. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      He'll miss 2 GWs

  4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Charlison misses 3 prem games. Not 2 .

    New rules

    1. We Go Again
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Cup games don't count anymore?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/games-richarlison-miss-everton-after-15073218.amp

        Under new rules brought in this season, the ban will not apply to the League Cup second round tie with Rotherham United, with suspensions not carried over to every competition.

        It means he is likely to feature in Wednesday's clash with the Championship side, but would not return to Premier League action until the home game with Fulham on September 29.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Someone said the new rules are for yellows only, not reds. No idea myself.

    3. LSK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      No, I think he misses 2. Yellow cards are competition specific, not reds

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        ^^

      2. Rotation's Alter Ego
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        This is correct. Rules on red cards did not change.

    4. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Thanks for setting me straight.

      1. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Or not. 🙂

  5. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Milner is so much better than Henderson

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah, even with his age he is great

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Very different players. Hard to compare

      1. Jack Sparrow
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Milner is good, Henderson is shite. Pretty easy to compare.

        1. Fantastisk
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          This

      2. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Yes, Hendo is cack

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          I'm not a Liverpool fan but Henderson is certainly not rubbish

          1. Jack Sparrow
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 9 days ago

            Dont need t be a Pool fan to realise he is shite. Just need to be a football fan and have a small understanding of the game.

          2. twoplustwo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 9 days ago

            Ok, he isn't anywhere near the quality of a top 4 side

            Same for Dier, unfortunately we had both at the WC

  6. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Can anyone else see Mane getting dropped? He breaks so many attacks with sloppy touches.

    1. Dacra
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      No.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Lol no chance.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Why not? Shaquiri is just waiting on the bench, plus others able to push up into that position.

        1. Les Bleus
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          Because Mane is a better player

          1. Robe Wan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 9 days ago

            nope

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Absolutely not.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Surely Shaqiri gets a game sooner or later.

      It'd be either Mane or Salah making way in all likelihood.

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Subs appearances, Carabao cup and matches around Champions League when S/M get rested, not dropped.

      2. Mysterion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Probably later, when CL starts

  7. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Salah 9 passes away from getting BPS he never usually gets.

    Robbo 1 pass away from a big BPS jump.

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Nice

    2. Jack Sparrow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Keep us updated.

    3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Thanks

  8. Dacra
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Neves to Walcott for free with 1.5itb?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah

  9. Ragabolly
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Mane has been dreadful this half..

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Because I got him in, sorry

      1. Critical Observer
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        He was awful vs. Palace as well, mind.

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Probably still score though

    3. noahzark22
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      like last game, so he'll score in the 90' +2

    4. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Mane(c), Salah(v)

      Hope it doesn't backfire

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Already has

        1. Sahil Yadav
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          Not if Salah doesn't score anymore and Mane nets in one

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 days ago

            EO, it’s already hurt you

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 9 days ago

              If they get the same amount of points, it doesn't make a difference.

  10. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    want mane to blank ffs

  11. Richd
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    So Auba v mane.

    Both are rubbish !

    Let’s hope hazard doesn’t show up.

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      For the record I’m sticking with Auba

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Good. Same here.

      2. TAT
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Me too.

  12. Richd
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    If TAA does a fart he’ll get 1 BPS.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Needs to be a big fart.

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        He does big ones. Check out his Socials

  13. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    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?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Hughes again

    2. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Kante is the only good one. Just go for some crud 4.5

    3. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      You sure you want 2x 5.0 mids?

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        No other way to get Hazard in now with Richie situation

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      The Guendozie kid at Arsenal looks pretty good for 4.5m

      Brooks at Bournemouth for 5.0m looks the standout though

      1. Patch
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Worth ditching Fraser for?

        1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          no way

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          I wouldn't...but if you're WC'ing, it's a decent way to make a 0.5m saving

        3. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          His stats today looked amazing. Why ditch

      2. jtreble
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        IMHO, Guendozie looks good in attack. On defence - not so much.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          The only question is whether he keeps playing.

          Hope he does, looks way better than Xhaka etc.

    5. PRENO
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      your team sounds dreadful if you have 3x Chelsea and you're considering drafting in Masuaku

    Having a poor game and having a poor FPL game are two very different things.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Mendy had a poor game for Man City IMO. Regardless of how many BAPS he got.

    2. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      In Mané case this evening it's both so far

  15. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Any news on Arnie after the game?
    Really hoping its not going to keep him out.

  16. Visionaries
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Richarlison > Walcott the most obvious move of all time?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      The obvious one but is it the smartest one?

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I went back and forth between the two but ended up making the wrong choice. Walcott looks like a good choice so far this season.

  17. Dacra
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    1.5itb:

    Neves to Walcott (Neves is in my 11 so stays 343)
    Peltier to Monreal (Neves benched, 433)
    Gunnarsson to someone (mainly to avoid price drop..)

  18. el polako
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Hamer subbed early, Richarlison red card... this game is brutal.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Do you have Arnie too?

    2. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      same

  19. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone considering Gundogan as an option? Should be nailed right now

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I am

    2. tabzy
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Yep, very much in my thinking and has shown an eye for goal before. Also frees up cash for a possible Kane manoeuvre or keeper upgrade

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      hmmm, that's a good shout. He could come in for Richarlison in my team and free up enough cash to get Hazard in.

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Not even touching City mids, constant rotation and guesswork

  20. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Gee-whiz... a Huddersfield clean sheet! I can't wait to check my points for Hamer!....

  21. tafrère
    • 10 Years

    Really need (S)alah and Firmino to do it again in next 45mins!

      Can't keep rewarding milner owners

  23. Patch
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Will look forward to once AWB is unflagged!

    After which I have 2 FT to focus on (without the headache of Hamer and Richarlison to worry about).

    If Jones drops anymore I might need to ditch Peltier and have 5 functioning defenders...

    Will go for two kids at the 5.0 level...

    Should I be scared of not having Aub and Laca?

    1. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I'm not scared of either tbh

      1. Patch
        • 9 Years

    2. Jack Sparrow

      His offense warrants going out on loan to Midtjylland for the rest of 2018/2019.

    Weird Logic....

    I know that it is VERY rare for players to get attacking involvement for 3-4-5 games in a row. is this reason to NOT bring in players like Wilson, Walcott etc? they are in good form, they have good fixtures, but the probability of repeating scores is so low?

    whadya think?

      I think Wilson was garbage today and definitely not in good form by any stretch of imagination.

      By that logic, unless you started with him, you would have never brought in Salah last year.
