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

      Scotland will be just peaking come 2022.

      1. Jafooli

        Robertson - Fraser

        Looking very strong these days...

        1. BrutalLogiC
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It ends there

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Sadly 😆

    2. ZeBestee

      As usual.

  2. Dthinger

    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hmm. With Richarlison's Red card, I'm thinking of playing a 5-2-3? is that crazy? It would look like this:

    Alison
    Alonso, Bellerin, VVD, Mendy AWB
    Miki, Salah
    Zaha, Auba, King

    Bench: Patricio, Richarlison, Pereira (MUN), Wilshere

    Or should I just transfer in a midfielder to replace Pereira (can afford up to 5.6M)

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I like it

    2. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      on sky they reckon its worth an appeal so would wait on that before taking rich out

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That's why I don't want to get rid of him; can't see it being more than just a one-game ban. He'll still be in my squad unless he gets three games.

        1. captainjilflex
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          its just annoying now that he will miss even one of their good fixtures

  3. OPTA FPL

    Billing seems nailed on!

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He always did

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        who is he competing with?

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Team in tatters, don’t want to even look 😆

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fraser seems a bust 😉 Hitting the wildcard.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        To be fair, he was just out side the baps (21) without goal or assist in a 2-2.

        He played really well again, definitely keep. Wow and only 5.6m 😉

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Blank is a blank. They'll be shipping him for Walcott as we speak!

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            😥

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Be happy with a low scoring week now, too many high scoring gameweeks are not good for health 😛

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        True 😀

    Thank f for that

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Haha would have been a tale of two wildcards Mate !

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I’ve had a shocker mate 9 from 7 and my pre wc team would have been on 26 from 6 painful..

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Marathon not a sprint. You’re setup with good TV. Hold firm and just replace Richarlison later in the week.

          1. #FPLBhuna
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Suppose yeah

            1. Richd
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              If you did it again this week what would you change ? Get a Bournemouth striker ? I think not 🙂

              1. #FPLBhuna
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah deffo not a Bournemouth striker this week maybe not get Auba and get mane instead ah well done now lol

                1. Richd
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  Yeah but I’d stick with Auba now you’ve done it and pray. Cracking fixtures.

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    TAA shot off target.

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      😛

    2. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah.. Not right

  14. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    TAA woodwork

  15. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Robertson > TAA to save some cash?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I did it on WC. Did some stats analysis from last year. There’s not 1 mill difference between them.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That’s what I’m thinking.... only issue is more competition on his side

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah slightly less nailed. But more goal threat. Less bonus potential but the difference isn’t huge.

          1. BrutalLogiC
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            TAa more goal threat?

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You're right. Robertson is worth more than 1m more!

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Have a look at some heat maps from last season. All the different types. Shots etc.

      3. Mysterion
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        There definitely is... unless he scores a few free kicks this season

          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

    B) Fraser + Auba + TAA

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Auba sucks

    2. Neto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. I-want-bacon
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A

  20. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    0-0 written all over this game

  21. Keno
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Loving the fact that Mendy is still getting 2 baps lol

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He’s most peoples highest scoring player so far

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I would love it even more if it weren't for every man and his dog putting him in on a wildcard this week

      1. Keno
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I understand, I had him since GW 1.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He's scored more than my whole team

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

      He is? Nice!

  22. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    To think I was really looking forward to this GW and thought my team looked great 😆

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I know what you mean. Damp squib

  23. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mane has been terrible

  24. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Rich,Aubameyang > Hazard,Zaha?

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Might do that too even though I just used wild card. Auba looks hopeless.

  25. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mane is such a headless chicken sometimes.....

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Reverting to mean.

  26. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    IF Salah blanks I'm wildcarding to this team! Thoughts?

    Hen
    Alonso Mendy Robertson Bavies Bellerin
    Hazard Mane Pogba Mkhi
    Aguero
    Hamer Wilson Stephens Kamara

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why does Salah's point score today specifically determine whether you keep him or not?

  27. badgerboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Two weeks of getting f**ked by The King and then he explodes everywhere!

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Legend.

    2. TAT

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not even a peck on the cheek when he left 🙁

    4. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn’t mind videoing that for my website.

  28. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Salah (c) fail.

  29. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Funny. In my main mini league was hoping my differential of Ings and Aubameyang would deliver. Double fall lol. Oh well.

  30. SuperDan
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison to Pedro might be a mass move if he scores tomorrow
