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

  4. Dynamic Duos

    King and Salah(c) is actually half decent.

  5. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    That Salah (C) goal has made my rank skyrocket on FFFix. Is this accurate??

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I second this

    2. cheekumz

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      They have him with 3 BAPs, so not accurate.

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Just under half don't have Salah at all, and I imagine a good few who do have Salah captained Aguero

    5. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Something is off with it.
      Gone from 30k to 300k with Salah (c)

    6. cheekumz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      fixed now, rank still jumped a lot but not nearly as ridiculously as it was a min ago

  6. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Do we know overall percentages for Salah (c) vs others especially Aguero (c) and Arsenal (c)??

  8. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Almost Robbo to Mane 🙁

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

  11. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

  12. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years

    Robertson pressing much more than TAA today

  13. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Salah is a very good footballer

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years

      Kane got the EPL and WC golden boot

  16. Bubz
    • 13 Years

    TAA has been shite all season

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Seemed pretty good last week, pressing on the flanks. Robbo seems to be doing it today.

  17. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    A keeper doing keeper things in a Liverpool jersey 😮

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

    Anyone know why Hamer get benched today?

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years

    2. Konig Luther

    3. Limbo

    4. FPL Scoop

    5. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      He didn’t

  19. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Robbo no where on the bap chart 🙁

  20. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Seriously, was I stupid to leave the C on Kun instead of Salah here? What didn't I see? Trying to learn.

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      You didn't see Salah at home to Brighton?

    2. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Aguero is better at home rather than away

      Same with Salah, and he was the one with the home fixture

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      You didn't see the 2 pointer.

    4. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      You captained a tough away fixture instead of a plum home fixture. Easy.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Wolves? Tough? Theyve been conceding 2 goals in avg.. But Home game. Oh well..Okay gotcha, thanks guys.

    5. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Salah midfielder so goals mean an extra point. Salah plays as striker. Salah top scorer last season. Salah home to Brighton.

      Aguero away to Wolves. Does less well away from home. Forward so needs to to score more goals to get more points than Salah.

      Going (c) Salah was the sensible option

    6. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I never give C to a player that plays in the first game.

    7. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      You must of missed the fixtures and that Salah was at home

    8. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Aguero unlucky to blank but Salah was still the option... home games should nearly always be favoured when considering (C) options from 2 good teams.

    9. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Simply a home game.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Got it, thanks guys! Ill put that down in bold in my notes.

    10. DLL18
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Home vs Away, Liverpool beat Brighton 9-1 in the 2 games last season, Wolves conceded the fewest goals in the Championship last year. Lots of obvious reasons to go with Salah over Kun.

    11. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      There were a few pointers as mentioned, but tbf Aguero could easily have scored 2-3 goals again today.
      Just one of those things.
      GL

    12. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Aguero...not scored away from home since Dec 2017. That's what you should've seen 🙂

      He was unlucky today though, hit the woodwork twice.

  21. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Van Dijk and Gomez more BPS than Robbo wth

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Can Dijk will score today

  22. DeathoftheParty
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Is Mendy getting two baps... Unbelievable.

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I know.... should be 3

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Ha. Too slow.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Yes!

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Should be 3.

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Welbeck getting 3 for 15 minutes work

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Mane making it easier for me maybe downgrading

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      I would only sell Mane to upgrade. To Hazard for example

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah that may actually be the move if I downgrade richarlison to gundo or someone instead

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Upgrade to hazard

    3. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Or upgrade to hazard

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Don’t currently have the funds. Need to downgrade richarlison to a 5.5 or so first. Thinking gundo.

  24. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Ryan save point... 😎

    Only listening on radio but sounds like bissouma is lively?

  26. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    TAA doesn’t help Salah! Seems to always look for a cross, long pass instead of feeding him down the wing

  27. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    robertson to firmino would be nice

  28. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Any Arnie news ?

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      He'll be back

  29. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    Why is it that every time there’s a bad cross/pass or fast break screwed up it’s TAA as the cause?

    1. bigwig
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Yep, I don't think he's too far from getting dropped

  30. Danstoke82
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    The week I finally bring Richarlison in after watching him batter me for two weeks and he gets sent off...

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Thats unlucky

    2. BrutalLogiC
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Safe to say you're not alone
