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

    So will Salah get a few baps dedecuctes or get the goal scoring extras? Maybe both.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m on fire.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Their defence is terrified.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Heh heh.

    2. Zladan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What would the deduction be for?

      He will definitely get more for the winning goal anyway.

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

        For losing the ball all the time

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Awful shots. He is infamous for missing out on baps.

        1. Zladan
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah absolutely, it’s very frustrating. But he is never in the baps at the end of the match. This time he is already second baps and should get additional.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            8 years, 1 month ago

            That’s actually not true. I’ve seen it many times. The baps will get rejigged a lot from this moment.

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

      Yes he will get -7 for his 7 dispossessions so he's in trouble

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh bugger.

    4. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No BAPs if FFS are correct.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Annoying.

        1. Rainer
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Wayward shots at the end very costly.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed. Ugh

      2. Give The Todd Some Love
        8 years, 1 month ago

        wat

        1. Mysterion
          8 years, 1 month ago

          They're playing tomorrow

      3. Zladan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nahhhhhh don’t do this.

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

      Surely the deductions take place 'in game' don't they, and only winning goal bonus is added after the whistle?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No that’s not true. Lots of changes happen after the game unfortunately.

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

        This is incorrect

        Negative points for dispossessions are also added after the game

  2. Mysterion
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Never forget

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ha

  3. pundit of punts
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Have exact cash for Mane + Richarlison ➡ Hazard + Walcott for -4. Gives me -

    Ederson
    Mendy - TAA - Shaw
    Salah - Hazard - Mkhitaryan - Walcott
    Aguero - Zaha - Arnautovic

    4m - Stephens - AWB - Bednarek

    Will do the moves later in the week of course. Thoughts please? 🙂

    1. Zladan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Great move. Hold until later in the week as you say.

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

      Mane > Hazard -4? Nah.

      1. Zladan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        More for a -2.

        1. Sylas
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Rubbish logic.

          1. Zladan
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Okay then. Mané to Hazard free transfer, and a -4 to get rid of Richarlison.

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

      A hit to dump Mane? Is three goals in as many games not a good enough return?

      1. pundit of punts
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Need to be proactive in this game. Past laurels don't mean much if you can get the next big haul. Moreover, fixtures swing for mane and Hazard and Mane looked off form today.

        1. Zladan
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This.

    4. RomeluStormzy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott may rise soon.

    5. Cok3y5murf
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why are you showing us the rest of the team?

      1. pundit of punts
        8 years, 1 month ago

        To give context.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          8 years, 1 month ago

          What is it?

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

      Only challenge is that Richi price probably going to drop tonight and Walcott looks like it will climb tonight...

      1. pundit of punts
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Rich drop won't affect me but wally rise will. Looks like I have a decision on my hands.

    7. Whazza
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie injured?

    8. Sylas
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing to brag about today?

  4. Acerobert57
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Theo or Pedro a better replacement for Richarlison?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Watch Pedro tomorrow , 50/50 atm for me

    2. olly:)
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i like theo with 2 home games vs huddersfield and west ham next

      1. Acerobert57
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wasn't sure whether Theo production may suffer without Richarlison in the team

        1. DJDave1979
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Their production might improve if they stop going down to 10 men!

        2. olly:)
          8 years, 1 month ago

          i don’t think so

        3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Lol no

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Next 2 for Everton are gold.So Theo.I have Pedro already and I am most likely getting theo

  5. Marvin.
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Champions elect chaps.

  6. Ginkapo FPL
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Its our year.

  7. Whazza
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I really want to keep Arnie at home to wolves... How bad was the injury, any indications?

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

    Even as an owner i'm glad Richarlison was sent off. It makes the game much more interesting when a high ownership player becomes unavailable.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah but it was before Huddersfield (h).So annoying

    2. Marvin.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm gonna play him. What's the worst that could happen?

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

        Lol

    3. Royal5
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Somehow agree. Important to break the template.

      1. Royal5
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Same with Firmino. Don't mind him getting an assist today. People will probably keep him now.

  9. Niho992
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard instead Salah from next gameweek?

    1. Ibracadabra
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably instead of Mane for me on a wildcard, depending on how he looks tomorrow.

    2. DeathoftheParty
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think you meant... 'as well as'

  10. PB-THE-VET
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Way i see it the price for a point in this game is 2mil (approx) considering a 4.5 mil def will normally get you 2 points.

    By that reckoning youd be happy with anything over 50 points a game week considering we spend 100mil

    So those complaining about salah ........ ur ridiculous. All he needs to deliver is 6 points a game week average. And he doing that!

    1. Ligdon
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Im glad your happy atleast

      1. Fantastisk
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You're

      2. PB-THE-VET
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You can use the sane logic when deciding premium defenders. Will they give u an extra 2pts/mil

    2. Dr. Rog
      8 years, 1 month ago

      gets returns every week exactly what you want from a captain

  11. Dr. Rog
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) richi + Ings ---> kante + Zaha for a hit
    B) richi --> walcott

    Ederson 4
    Alonso Mendy Taa/awb 4
    Mo Mkhi Richi Pedro 4.5
    Aguero Auba Ings

    1. RyanC
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rich to Walcott all day long.

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

      A is foolish. Do B

  12. TheSteel
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah and Robbo to share the 3 baps?

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

      Zero chance

      1. XabiAlonso

      Less than 7 hours.

      1. Ibracadabra
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That's my deadline to decide to wildcard and/or if not, to see if Robertson should be in my WC instead of Van Dijk...

        1. Ligdon
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He should

          1. BelgiumFTW
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I had Richarlison when he was 6.5 , so i can afford to wait right?

            But is it smart to transfer in Walcott now before the price raise? Can he raise +0,2? 2 nice home fixtures next..

    2. Dr. Rog

  16. Jafooli
    8 years, 1 month ago

    37pts (if no Salah baps) with only DDG & Alonso to go - fairly kak?

    1. Ligdon

  17. Feloh

      8 years, 1 month ago

      2FT btw, but also got Tosun who i also want to get rid

      1. arndff_
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Everton with some easy fixtures. Hold Tosun.

      2. Sasquatch Slayer
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why get rid of Tosun? He is ticking over and good fixtures ahead

      3. jomikijiq
        8 years, 1 month ago

        why don't you keep Tosun for hud and whu at home?

    2. moz_1983
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Richie probably yeah. He'll drop in value a couple of times so bank the cash.

    3. Bucket Man
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Got them both and King so not sure what to do. King may get another stay want to watch how he played today.

    Richarlison to:
    A) Walcott
    B) Maddison
    C) Pedro
    D) Other

    1. RyanC
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott

      1. RyanC
        8 years, 1 month ago

        But see how Pedro does tomorrow

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Taegugk Warrior
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Walcot

      1. subhojit123
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If u don't have Hazard, or there ain't much space for him then Pedro is best way to cover those tasty chelsea home games. Else Walcott.
        Madison has good fixtures too. But mostly will be much effective after vardy returns.

  24. Fantastisk
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mané enough to cover Salah?

  25. Davido989
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can't quite understand the logic in punishing players for BPS when shooting off target. Getting punished for trying to score is quite something.

    1. BIGREDDOG
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bit flawed that... e.g 30 yard curler hits the crossbar and you go down

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just needs altering that for every 2/3 missed shots or 2/3 dispossessions you lose 1 BPS instead of losing 1 BPS for every single one.

      1. BIGREDDOG
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Good idea. Rainer for mod... Even though he repeats his jokes

    3. Numb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. It’s been fed back loads of time, they’re not listening.

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Trying to score without an opportunity to do so though.... why reward that? If there was the opportunity it would have been on target or an actual goal. A shot of target is a waste of possession for your team.

      1. Whazza
        8 years, 1 month ago

        TAA's freekick that hit the bar wasn't a good effort then

          Not really. It was as effective as kicking it into row z.

            Way better than putting it softly in the keeper's lap though

        not punishing isn't the same as rewarding..

        Thanks. Need to research then, but from quick search doesn't look bad.

    Richarlison, Bilva > Mkhi, Pedro (-4)?

      Keep BSilva for homebgame v Newcastle and consider Richarlison to Pedro or Walcott after Chelsea game, or if you can wait until United v Spurs as other possibilities there

    That Richarlison red card means I might be keeping hold of that Ellen Degeneres looking donkey up top for Liverpool.

    is there an upside of holding on toy wildcard.
