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

    Mane is genuinely terrible. He is a fantastic finisher but he is otherwise a headless chicken. Cannot pass for his life.

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

      *mane* *fantastic finisher*

      choose 1

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    This has been pretty bad from Liverpool second half

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

    Interesting how little Kane chat there has been

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

      Spurs playing on Monday.

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

      He hasn’t played yet

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      How strange.

    4. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Nobody owns him

    5. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Wait til he scores a brace and then the wildcards will be out

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

        But hen the points/brace has already gone, and too expensive for him to justify it each week.

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

      Would love him to get a brace on Monday. That'd truly detonate the template! 🙂

    7. Y26 Royal
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Think I'm gonna end up wild carding for him or Hazard. See how this GW ends first

    1. OPTA FPL

  24. RiskyBusiness

    2 week punt on Walcott I think, two lovely home games

  25. Collie01

    Milner stupid hand ball.

    Brighton FK in dangerous position

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Stupid in what way?

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Just blatant. Stuck out a hand as the ball was passing by, almost instinctive

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

    Many here lagging like 1/2 minutes behind

    1. AIRMILES
      • 15 Years

      yeah, buffstreams are awesome, but they are a little delayed.

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

        Even seen people with BTSport lagging dunno why

    Come on Bobby, get your goal lad!

    Bournemouth have started well and players like Wilson currently look like great value - however, all their games so far have been against teams that don't have the strongest of defences - Cardiff, West Ham and Everton. Cardiff might have kept 2 CS but against 2 mid/lower sides that both had red cards.

    West Ham have obv conceded 9 in 3 games and Everton 5 in 3.

    Their next few fixtures aren't as appealing. Chelsea, Leicester, Burnley and Palace. If Burnley are out of europe by then they might be back to their usual solid best defensively and we know how strong Palace are defensively recently. Chelsea look shaky but they're the stronger team and won't expect them to concede more than 1. And Leicester are decent defensively too.

    Wilson is still probably decent enough value at 6.1 as a third striker but definitely not expecting his scoring run to continue and 4 blanks in these next 4 wouldn't surprise me.

    Tekkers from Alisson

    If Robertson is expected to get 3 BPs, I would be happy if Liverpool concede (Van Dijk owner) 😛
