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

    Why wanbisakka is still red-flagged?

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

      Palace haven't played yet

    2. Gregor

      Crystal Palace haven’t played yet, unlikely but game could get called off for some reason.

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

        Fromagerie not ready yet

  3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

    Hello, bottomed, missed a lot of rises last week waiting and, as you'll see, had a few falls, so I was wondering what you'd suggest here:

    2FT 1.5ITB

    Patricio, hamer
    Mendy, robbo, pva, wan b, peltier
    Salah mahrez bernado siggy hudson-odoi
    Firmino, King, Zaha

    Obviously not a lot of cover on the bench, no Chelsea, no arsenal and mahrez (and arguably Firmino) are all issues to address.

    Thanks!

  4. Fantastisk
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Oh Salah my captain

  5. cigan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bought Wan Bissaka and Richarlison last Sunday (before the Palace game). That went well

  6. Feloh
    8 years, 1 month ago

    what score post baps can be considered decent?

    1. Dr. Rog
      8 years, 1 month ago

      30 lol

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      One more than the person asking.

      1. Fantastisk
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This.

    3. Numb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Average is 39 from 8 players

      1. Jack Frost
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That should be for the top 10000 players with bonus, average is closer to 29 for the overall players. Where are you taking your stats from? Mine is the FPL discovery site.

    4. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Three per player for top ten k

    5. Viper
      8 years, 1 month ago

      50 would be pretty good I'd imagine

    6. _Make
      8 years, 1 month ago

      50

  7. Ohh1454
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on arnautovic?

    1. Sponge-worthy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's considering to bring back the man bun.

    2. Fantastisk
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't look overly serious to Mee, would expect to play next round.

      1. Ohh1454
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for your reply , one less problem hopefully so

  8. Adro3

      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 - Robertson (36)

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

      B 🙂

  10. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Richie red and ban disrupted my plans. Now I have to replace him with 4.5 or 5.0 mid in order to get Salah.

    Team for next week will look like this (-4):

    Kepa, Stekelenburg
    Mendy, VVD, Trippier, Luiz, WB
    Salah, Hazard, Fraser, Neves, 5.0
    Mitrovic, Aguero, King

    Thoughts?

  11. TheTwelfthMan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is 94 with 7 (including C) to go despite owning Richarlison, Adam Smith, Hogg and Hojbjerg any decent?

    1. Sasquatch Slayer

      About average

    2. Dynamic Duos

  12. Rossdurity

    8 years, 1 month ago

    How long is Rich out for after that red? Are people going to jump ship on him?

    1. Adro3
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 games

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

      2 PL Games, 1 Cup game

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

        So, my info was wrong. 3 PL games confirmed - Hudders, West Ham, Arsenal

  13. Bubz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Walcott used to be a cult hero round these parts, we'd all jump on him at 9.5m when he got some games for Arsenal

    1. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It’s going to end in the same way

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      its not that long ago he was 9.5, and a pickable 9.5 too... 6.5 looks way too good to be true. No threat of missing games for these good fixtures now either. And with Richarlison injured there really is no excuse not to be doing Rich > Theo straight away.

      Any other move is trying to be too clever imvho

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I’m not dismissing doing it at all, But do you Think it is worth doing if you would want Rich back afterwards?
        So your net points gain would only be whatever Theo outscores AWB with -8 points.
        Of course you would make some money as well.

      2. TomSaints
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You've convinced me. I hope this isn't a trap...

    3. Sponge-worthy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't he get like 23 points in one game?

    4. GENERATION X
      8 years, 1 month ago

      lots got him around the blanks last season he was gash and then had to be shipped out after

  14. Uncle John from Jamaica
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Chaps has Richarlison got a 2 or 3 game ban? Thanks

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

      3 PL games. Back on 23 September

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 game ban, one will be in the cup.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Rule changed.?? Bans now pl only.

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

        PL only now

    3. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 typically for violent conduct. Pretty sure cup games don’t count towards suspensions now

      1. olly:)
        8 years, 1 month ago

        reds do, saw the rules posted on twitter before

        1. Ask Yourself
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ah that’s silly

    4. SkyByBo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      2 in Pl, 3 total

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all = make sense.

  15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah to get extra bappage for winning goal? Should put him on maximum bonus points?

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Seriously....you’ve been here 8 years

    2. Numb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No, he’ll be lucky to get 1

    3. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Extra BPS, yes. Any BAPs, no. Hotel, Trivago.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Booooooooooooooooo

    5. The Red Devil
      8 years, 1 month ago

      One goal was never gonna be enough for him to get into bonus, despite it being the winner. Another decent haul though, in this poor week

      1. how now brown cow
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It was until pretty much final minute

  16. Feloh
    8 years, 1 month ago

    probably some salah none owners who are banging on about the possibility of him not sneaking in even 1 bap. Pretty confident the capitano will come through with the goodies.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Plenty of Salah captains being realistic.

  17. TherryOnWii
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Walcott (Home against Huddersfield) or Pedro (Home against Bournemouth), just for next week? Plan to wildcard afterwards, so long term is irrelevant. Thanks.

    1. Numb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      See what Pedro looks like tomorrow

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

      See how Pedro does tomorrow but probably Wally

    3. Dr. Rog
      8 years, 1 month ago

      both!

  18. KGFC
    8 years, 1 month ago

    On today's performance, what are the odds of Auba getting benched next week and Laca starts?

    1. Critical Observer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zero barring injury.

      They should both start.

  19. nisag17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How long is Richarlison suspended?

    1. Fantastisk
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Three

    2. Danstoke82
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 games minimum

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

      Until 23 September so 3 PL games

  20. GAMBIT
    8 years, 1 month ago

    FFfix have me a full time notification with both Salah and Robertson on 3bps

    1. GAMBIT
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Gave*

    2. *Reformed-Character*
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Obviously not the case

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Did they tell you that you are ranked 1st too?

  21. Dacra
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Soooo 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..)

  22. Caleb's Kitties
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A. Richarlison to walcott (or pedro)

    B. Richarlison firmino to hazard zaha -4

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A Wally

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

      A -which one decide tomorrow after Chelsea game

  23. Patch
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did Stephens seem any good...thinking of replacing Ralls...

    1. Numb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Same as usual.

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Will get you 2 points every week and maybe the odd 3. Fine for my 5th mid

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

    Bonus adjusted. 0 for our friend Salah

  25. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    8 years, 1 month ago

    No baps for Salah

    1. doublyG

      Missed out on 2x2 baps by one BPS. Gutted

  26. Rainer

    Lets the moans begin 😆

  27. Zladan

    Salah is a baps repellent.

    1. GENERATION X
      8 years, 1 month ago

      the ying to Robbos yang

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Literally kicked two BAPs away with his last two efforts.

      1. how now brown cow
        8 years, 1 month ago

        So frustrating. Sadly all I was thinking at the time rather than enjoying the game.

      2. Zladan
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It seems to sillly that he effectively missed out on top 3 Man of the Match places because of it. He was the match winner.

        So surprised there wasn’t a change in baps calculation this year.

  28. willl

    1. olly:)
