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

    Bilva to Wally?

      Or Pedro if you don't have him already, I like the way he's playing under Sarri so would have to wait and watch on that one.

      Mine stays on 18/19

    I finally gave in and replaced TAA with Robbo. All the arguments that the extra 1.0m is better spent elsewhere when TAA got the least bonus points of the defensive four, plus a yellow card.

    So welcome Robbo, meet Mendy, Alonso, W-B and, for now, Shaw.

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      8 years, 1 month ago

      All the arguments "went down the drain" was the full sentence

    2. Licious Lizard

      Wise man.
      Welcome aboard

    3. Ibracadabra
      8 years, 1 month ago

      considering it on my wildcard instead of Van Dijk but just know Van Dijk will power in a header from a corner any game now...

  4. Sponge-worthy
    8 years, 1 month ago

    44 with Zaha, Tomkins, Eriksen and Cairney to go. Weekend saved.

    1. DeathoftheParty
      8 years, 1 month ago

      37 with Hazard, Zaha, Moura, Hughes and Foster... High hopes!

  5. camarozz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    That's ridiculous Salah losing baps at that rate . Very frustrating

  6. Ibralicious
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which Richarlison-ditching move seems the best to make:

    A) Rich -> Pedro (FT)
    B) Rich-> Walcott (FT)
    C) Rich + Auba -> Hazard + Wilson (-4)
    D) Rich + Auba -> Hazard + Arnie (-4)

    Cheers!

  7. Gringo Kid

    No bonus points for Salah this time?

    1. Mysterion
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This time? 🙂

  8. OldBenKenobi
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do with this lot?

    Hamer*
    Mendy Davies TAA
    Salah Sterling Richarlison** Maddison
    Auba Arnautovic* Zaha

    Hart AWB Peltier Stephens

    1. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for news.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I will. In the awkward position of owning Sterling with a good fixture and no Aguero
        Auba has good fixtures and not delivering currently

    2. Zilla
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The way you were complaining I thought you had the worst FPL team

      1. OldBenKenobi
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Really? My points have been terrible

        1. Zilla
          8 years, 1 month ago

          So is everyone prolly dw

  9. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If salah loses 7 for bad shots but gains 3 for winning goal, won't he come joint second? Or are there lots of other retroactive changes I don't know about?

  10. BrutalLogiC
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Rich dropping tonight?

    Mahrez also?

  11. only2

    2. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They are the stand out options , but Wally will rise tonight so if can wait and pay the extra .1m then wait and watch Pedro tomorrow

      1. only2
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ofc he has to rice tonight.. think im gonna jump on the wally wagon for one last time lol

  14. 1justlookin

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Arnie at 6.5 or below?

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

      What’s up with Arnie?

      1. Bobby Digital
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Limp3d off

    2. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mitro / Jiminez
      Why are you selling though?

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

        He went off injured

        1. Licious Lizard
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, but it didn’t look serious. He even tried to play on a bit.
          I would wait for news. 2 good fixtures coming up and he REALLY should have had another goal today

  15. Niho992
    8 years, 1 month ago

    BPS is awful. He need to score 3 goals to get 3 bonus point lol

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

      1-1 would have been bonus.

  16. hogree
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How did Auba do today? Worth saving?

    1. Bobby Digital
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Couldve had a couple goals

  17. Regin
    8 years, 1 month ago

    had salah not taken that shot in last minute which was off target he would have got 2*2= 4 points more as a Captain. Damn it! And my mIN rivals dont even own salah!

    1. willl
      8 years, 1 month ago

      wrong

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

        ?

        1. willl
          8 years, 1 month ago

          though he was more than 1 off, my mistake

          wrong back at myself

  18. Feloh
    8 years, 1 month ago

    32(-4) with 4 to go, thanks to a useless bilva to mkhi transfer that I did for -4.

    OR 102K green or a big fat red.

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

      Grey

    2. diesel001
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Red

  19. OldBenKenobi
    8 years, 1 month ago

    It’s so easy to fix the BPS.
    Don’t do negative points for shots off target, failed dribble attempts etc just don’t give any points.
    The current system is broken

    1. diesel001
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That would skew the system in favour of attackers. That is fine, but then Salah would have to go up in price to reflect that.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Same goes for defenders too. No negative points - just reward “positive” play.

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. It's mad to punish forwards for doing what they are supposed to do or at least for going for it.

  20. TherryOnWii
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did anyone watch the Wolves City game? How was David Silva looking?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Like it was impossible to tackle him.

    2. Bad Kompany
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Should have got a pk

  21. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I’m absurdly smug about picking Etheridge from GW1. Soz.

    10 PPG. Monster

    1. willl
      8 years, 1 month ago

      fair play, maverick af

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

      Fair play.

    3. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Haha you should be! Congrats

    4. diesel001
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well played. Considered him, but thought Cardiff would concede at least 1 in both the first two games

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

        Cheers lads!

    5. Nomar
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Respect.

      Cardiff look like they’re going to be the team for the budget keeper choice for this season.

    6. Bad Kompany
      8 years, 1 month ago

      According to your team link you started with De Gea...

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

    Do we reckon David silva is nailed on to start for man city. I need to get rid of mahrez.

    1. TherryOnWii
      8 years, 1 month ago

      With Pep, nothing is nailed. I would say that his chances is higher since KDB is not around, and if you want cover for City mid for these fixtures, he's the best choice available (in my opinion), considering his price and lack of competition at his position.

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

        Cheers mate.

  23. @chapellefpl OR 577TH

    Salah losing 3 bonus in last few mins is sickening.

    1. TorresMagic™

    8 years, 1 month ago

    If I have salah and mane, how about this:

    Mane and rich

    To

    Hazard and Wally

    Worth a hit?

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

      Not for me

  25. St. Joseph
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Aubameyang is going to drop in price tonight?
    -99% on fix, but -72,6 on fplstats?

    1. olly:)
      8 years, 1 month ago

      trust fplstats

      1. St. Joseph
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd use Stats.

      1. St. Joseph
        8 years, 1 month ago

        TA

  26. Ohh1454
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best richalarison replacement? Wally has let me down time and time again so was thinking maddisson

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

      Wally, Pedro or BSilva

    2. Feloh
      8 years, 1 month ago

      wally

  27. DJDave1979
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah's lack of bonus shows just how terrifying he is. He loses BAPS because he misses loads of chances.

    If he stepped up his conversion rate, he'd score 50 goals.

    1. willl
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle

      1. KGFC
        8 years, 1 month ago

        😀 😀 😀

    2. diesel001
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You know what Salah does though? Same with Sterling and Hazard (BAPS man) and KDB (BAPS man)

  28. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Tosun and Walcott is very tempting.

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

    Patricio / Bilva to Ederson / Willian

    Thoughts?

    Screw template

  30. stat
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Robertson is on 35 BPS (3 BP)
    VVD + Gomez are on 29 BPS (2 BP)

    So how is Salah (28 BPS) on 0? Shouldn't he be on 1?

    1. XabiAlonso
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They’ve already given 7 baps out usually only 6

    2. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No. Max 3 players will get bonus, unless more than 3 players are on the highest number of bps

    3. DJDave1979
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No. Three players get bonus unless it's a tie for 3rd. Like Olympic medals, they are.
