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

    TAA loves a card doesnt he?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not as much as Richarlison , Hojbjerg, Hogg, and Smith

  15. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will Salah keep 2 baps ?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like it

  16. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah and Robbo may end both on 3 BAPS with dispossessions, shots of target and winning goal?

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

      Salah will probably get none

    2. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I can't be certain as I don't know the exact figures but I expect it to stay with Robbo 3.

  17. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    43(-4) post BAPS with Zaha and Shaw to go.

    Pretty meh. Had high expectations for this GW.

    1. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Above average. I think even above the top 1k average...

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

    FlapJack was absolutely right!

    Robertson isn't worth 1 million more than TAA, he's worth 2 million more...

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

      Sure is.

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

        Max baps.

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

      Ha.

      Ok. We will see.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No, just 1m

  19. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sooooo 1.5itb:

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

  20. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah, what a hero. So consistent. Yes he was wasteful, but he’s continued to bring in the points week after week. So worth the £13m.

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

      You cant say worth 13mn as he dint help those who captained him gw2. He is good fit with Kun so that works. Now directly Soton home he is worth captaincy

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Eh? He scored 9 points in week 2..

      2. PB-THE-VET
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero scored 2 this week? Salah score is consistent

  21. Legohair
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will Richarlison get 3 match ban?
    Richarlison to Walcottt for free?

    1. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Presumably yeah.

    2. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes yes

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Does Walcott price rise tonight?

    3. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      And do it quickly. Walcott is going to fly up at least .2

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Tonight?

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        What if you have Tosun?

        1. Legohair
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I have

    Game Stats (Minute: 90)

    Bonus Points:

    3 - Robertson (36)
    2 - Salah (33)
    1 - Gomez, van Dijk (29)
    (Provisional)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      I have all bar gomez... happy with them..

  23. DJDave1979
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Low scoring GW and a real let off as a non-Salah owner.

    I don't NEED to get him in. But I can for a -4 and lose all this stress. It's very tempting.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same. A way of looking at it is that Mane has matched him for points so far, which is what I was hoping for when I went without Salah.

      1. DJDave1979
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        My exact thought. And I have Salah in all my other games. It feels weird having such a 'meh' feeling when he scores because the only game you get 'judged' on in the fantasy footy community is FPL!

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal winning 3-1 and Auba doing nothing was good for us Salah owners.

    3. HNI
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Now get him after city match. Liv were jot sparkling today and goals will dry up even more against che tot mcl

  24. Ragabolly
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah way off form, still consistent FPL returns though

  25. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    20 points for Salah captain, can’t complain yet you see many people on here doing exactly that

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

      or 16

  26. 1zverGGadeM
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    All I need now is (S)alah and Robbo to get 3 baps !!!

  27. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    2 or 3 bps for Salah?

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

      0 possibly.

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

    Robertson - 3 (35)
    VVD & Gomez - 2 (29)
    Salah - 1 (28)

    Robbo 😎

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

      That missed shot cost Mo

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

        Actually think he gets 0 😆

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

      Salah 0 then.

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Salah won't get one if there's two on 2

    4. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If that was true, Salah wouldn't get a bonus point

    5. Nemes1s
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's supposed to get an extra 3 BPS for scoring the winning goal though?

  29. Darsh
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ryan’s 4 points is a welcome surprise

  30. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah on course for 316 points at this rate, not including if he gets any bonus.
