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

    Salah is shite

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      this

      1. olly:)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        imagine how many he’d score if he was actually good at footy

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Couldn't score in a brothel

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      😀

    3. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I went with Mané from the start therefore he is a much better option and if you think otherwise then your thinking is deeply flawed.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Agree

  2. Lucackadoodledoo
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Taa cracked the woodwork twice. Goal incoming. I'm thinkin robbo, salah and taa the most effective Liverpool trio.
    Thoughts?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He wasn't great overall, but still great value for 5m.

    2. willl
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I have Robbo TAA Mane, pretty happy with it so far

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      can see the CS's drying up now over the next 4 or 5 so would be reluctant to double defence

  3. MTPockets
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Walcott. Hmm that just feels like a mistake but not many great options.

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Same. I feel almost bullied in to getting him! Nobody saying how he actually played tho!

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Used to love him in FPL, but I've made this error several times. Need to have a look at his numbers but will guess they're not brilliant. Seems to be overperforming xG and xA.

  4. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Wally in?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      big time

  5. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    38 with Mitrovic and PVA, that about average? Or poor cos I only have 2 players left?

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      that’s decent i think

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Depends how the 2 players do. Kane could make it terrible.

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

      I am pretty certain the avg is way below that

    4. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Based on what I can see probably somewhere close. Im usually close and have 39 plus baps and Mitro & Tarowski to go

  6. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Think Richarlison has to go.
    Cant rely on bench players for 2 weeks surely

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Rich > Walcott for Hud (H) Whu (H) surely

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yep he’s gone

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Without doubt he needs to go. Best part of 7mil on your bench for 3 matches isn't good

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        2 matches

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Wan-Bissaka fixtures look great

    5. Adro3
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going to have to get rid I think, Cairney or Doherty to choose from on the bench

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Phuck sake Mo. What have you got against Baps you silly sausage

    1. Critical Observer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He didn't choose the sausage life, the sausage life chose him.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        if he had penalties and got baps he would actually get 500 points in a season

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Have the ball away a lot, final ball poor, 3 wayward shots into space. All he did was score really

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        par for the course with Mo

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

    Alisson deserves to be on the BAPS instead of Salah

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah isn't in them

      Rondon

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    42 with Foster, Alonso and Mitrovic, it will do.

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      42 with Le Marchand, Alonso, Zaha, similar (:

    2. maverickga

  12. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who is everyone looking at to replace Richarlison with?

    Brutal with his great fixtures coming up too...

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Walcott or Bernard

    2. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Looks like Theo is the leading candidate

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Rich only misses the one though right?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

    2. how now brown cow

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If I’m going for Theo, I’m probably risking it and doing it tonight

  14. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Will be well over 100

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Does it mean he will rise today though with wcs last week?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

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

      No, just like richarlison wont drop

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years

  15. 1justlookin

    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Did King go off injured today?

  16. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

  17. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    You can’t play less than two at the back, right?

      1. Ha.

  18. Niho992
    • 7 Years

    Salah no bonus lol

  19. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A nice leaving present from VVD with 2 Baps!

  20. 420king
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    FYI Rich is back in GW6 against Arsenal. The new rule doesn't include red cards.

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      That’s 3 gameweeks away. Think I’m moving him on

  21. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    have winning goal baps been factored in??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, BAPs are final now.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      yes

  22. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Damn, 33 with 3 to go it is then

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    #MakeBAPsGreatAgain

    -1 BPS for every shot off target.
    -1 BPS for every time tackled/dispossessed.

    Punishing attacking players actively trying to make things happen.

    Alternative:
    -1 BPS for every 2 or 3 shots off target.
    -1 BPS for every 2 or 3 times tackled/dispossessed.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Or get rid of BAPS and go with Opta assists.

      Or why not change the BAPS so players like Gueye, Kante, Matic can get more of them?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Keep BAPs & Opta assists - the more points the better.

        Them players will get BAPs generally with attacking returns, some form of change would be nice.

  24. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years

    2 game days to go and Walcott rising tonight , annoying

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      the wave from richarlison will carry him to a 0.3 this week i'd say

    2. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If you want him, just get him now.

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Captaincy looking a tough call next week:

    Salah - lei
    Kun - NEW
    Haz - BOU
    Auba - car

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Going for Kun as it stands

    4. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nah kun

  26. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Of course it won't happen but would love to see the baps battle of a team with both robbo and mendy (obviously two lbs would be a cracking formation)

  27. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Bonus point re-jig and now Salah completely out of the bonus points. How does that work given that he should have got an extra 3 bps for scoring the winning goal?? Yet again short changed with the bonus points.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He missed several big chances

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Offsides, dispossessions, shots off target

  28. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Was thinking of bringing in TAA for Robbo to save 1 mill but its hard to justify with all those BP's he keeps getting

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I Think it’s very hard to find anywhere else where that 1m will provide equal value.
      + TAA is on 3 Yellows now as well.

  29. OldBenKenobi
