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

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years

      Love how 10pts is a disappointment now. I’ll take 10pts (dbl to 20) a week from my captain.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        760 points from your permacaptain isn’t NEARLY enough 😉

  4. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Can't wait for the 'Salah isn't worth 13mil' posters 😀

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      just one goal today. not worth the money

      1. BIGREDDOG

  7. Neto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

  8. Rainer

  11. Mr. Jenkins
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will Richarlison get his ban revoked?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully not. He needs to be punished.

  12. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah isn't gonna keep his baps is he?

  13. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah not worth £13m

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      But he’s so good and a must have imo

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Timing for that shot lol!

      2. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 16 Years

    3. TAT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Can't justify going without him myself. This week included.

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years

      😛

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    What a terrible shot by salah

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    WTF Salah

  16. Zlat-man
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    how does
    Auba, Richa > Kane, Theo (-4) sounds?

    not rushing it, just want some initial comments

    1. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Seems reasonable.

    2. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No hit

  17. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    This is why Salah never wins the Baps

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It really is.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Except for today?

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wasteful Arnold

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Gets in the positions. This is what I mean about TAA v Robertson being close despite recent results.

  19. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    The moaning over Salah is incredible, especially in a week where the big hitter's have been missing so far. The guy has 2 goals 2 assists in 3 starts but you'd think he'd have blanked each week by some on here.

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Innit

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Brighton are scoring aren't they?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Stop it

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Have that feeling that they will

    3. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Please don’t post hate speech on the forums.

    4. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No

    5. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep I hate it when they credit CSs and then wipe em off.

  21. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah thinks he’s Mané there

  22. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    The members stats for shots this week are pretty amusing 🙂 look at #2

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

  23. LǝgleSs e|even

    Hold scousers hold

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wow gross almost

    Liverpool hanging on

  25. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wth Salah!

  26. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Gross denied.

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Yes Alissonnnn!

  28. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    pool fullbacks essential. both plus one of the trinity looks the way to go.

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hard to disagree. Or Allison. Is Clyne going to threaten TAA starts at some point? Lots of worry about that earlier but not looking to be the case..

  29. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    And breath......

  30. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone think Dilva is the way to go in City Midfield again? Cheap price and will sure say nailed for Pep..

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      How is he nailed?

      1. Guru Mediation
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Absolutely instrumental in that team. Nailed on

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          That’s an opinion though, and we all know he can be benched like any other city mid at any point in any game

          1. HellasLEAF
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Last season disagrees with you. Pep favours Dilva. And with KDB out as well, need that player in the midfield.

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think I will do this yeah
