Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) came through his international break injury scare to start for Liverpool at Huddersfield.

The Egyptian was named in the starting line-up alongside Virgil van Dijk (£5.9m) and James Milner (£5.7m) who were also passed fit after recent knocks.

Salah was sold by over 350,000 Fantasy managers ahead of Gameweek 9. He is without a goal involvement since Gameweek 6 but does face a very favourable fixture today.

However, Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) dropped to the bench and Sadio Mané (£9.8m) missed out on the matchday squad altogether following a thumb injury.

Daniel Sturridge (£5.8m) and Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m) come in for the pair, both of whom could prove interesting differentials if they look likely to feature more often in the Premier League.

Interest in Huddersfield options remains minimal, with substitute Ben Hamer (£4.0m) their most popular asset (7.9%).

Huddersfield Town XI: Lössl; Zanka, Schindler, Löwe; Hadergjonaj, Mooy, Hogg(C), Billing, Durm; Pritchard; Depoitre

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Henderson, Lallana, Shaqiri, Salah, Sturridge

  3. Rainer

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'd love that

  4. The Final Boss
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Zaha and mane to Kun(c) and schrulle paid off

    1. Ha.
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Neither Zaha or Mane have played yet...

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        8 years, 18 days ago

        You might be waiting a while for Mane

        1. Ha.
          8 years, 18 days ago

          I thought he was on the bench, oos

      2. The Final Boss
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Mane not going to play this week mate 🙂

  5. Ha.
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Mendy only 15% owned is a pleasant surprise

    1. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Alonso sales will up that in the coming week.

  6. JammySprat
    8 years, 18 days ago

    TAA bench too 🙁

    1. joeydelucchi
      8 years, 18 days ago

      You think he’s lost his place now permanently ??

    2. tvz32
      8 years, 18 days ago

      1. Rust Cohle

  7. farmerfat

    Got Sterling and Firmino in this week. Both benched. FML

    1. Holmes
      8 years, 18 days ago

      You will enjoy their points next week

  8. Jarnathan
    8 years, 18 days ago

    How did Deulofeu look? Looks like hes starting play up front for Watford now so could be a decent enabler.

  9. Kun Tozser
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Kun and Pereya > King and Hazard seems like such a good idea this week!

  10. Chucky
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Ryan single handedly saving my GW....

    1. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Think he used both hands for all his saves...

      1. tvz32
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I LOLed

      2. Chucky
        8 years, 18 days ago

        😀

    2. Holmes
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Performs well when he is on my bench 😛

  11. Zilla
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Salah time

  12. Holmes
    8 years, 18 days ago

    One more game for Bournemouth lads and they will be gone for atleast 8-10 gameweeks! Sayonara, thanks for the points...

    1. Bialystrzelec
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Feels horrible to miss tak party, owning King and Fraser, both in wrong periods

  13. tvz32
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Who to sell TAA for?

    1. HurriKane
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Pereira and duffy good options

  14. The Mighty Whites
    8 years, 18 days ago

    What to do with Knockaert with 0.0 ITB?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I have bigger fires to put out. He starts on my bench next game. If he regains his place I'll play/keep him or else ship in due time.

  15. HurriKane
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Trpps has served me well but its time to go

    Trippier --->

    A) Robertson

    B) Mendy

    leaning towards A due to short term fixtures

    1. Ha.
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B

      1. HurriKane
        8 years, 18 days ago

        any reason why ?

        feel like robertson has better fixtures and is more nailed. delph could take gametime off mendy too

        1. Ha.
          8 years, 18 days ago

          He’s a machine!

    2. Sahil Yadav
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A i think. Robbo has the fixtures and is rarely rested i think. Mendy has had injury concerns so rotation is imminent

  16. Sting
    8 years, 18 days ago

    these distinctly average weeks really test you in FPL.

    can you stay patient and avoid knee jerks? can you separate the underperforming from the unlucky?

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No Pedro is definitely leaving my team this week...

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Aye. I have a wildcard in my back pocket and it would be very easy to overreact.

  17. joeydelucchi
    8 years, 18 days ago

    TAA lost his place now permanently?

    1. Holmes
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Resting for UCL games

    2. Bada Bing
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yup, he will be never heard or seen again. Yammy taa owners' luck is out now.

      1. Bada Bing
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Jammy, that is.

  18. camarozz
    8 years, 18 days ago

    What's the changes of Salah outscoring Lacazette and Vardy.

    Rival has the latter but not Salah.

  19. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone know what's up with TAA?

    1. Deulofail
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Existential crises. Reconsidering his boyhood dream to be a fireman.

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 18 days ago

        😀

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Straight swap for Gomez it is

        1. GoodFella93
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 18 days ago

          That will bite you in the arse for sure

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Why?

  20. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Do we think it’s time to cash in on Ederson? He’s done well, but short term fixtures about to get a little tricky and he rarely gets saves or bonus.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A fire and forget keeper and has 49 points. No need to change it even if a few tricky games. Leave him for the season unless injured.

    2. GoodFella93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No brainer to get rid for me, take a 4.5 priced keeper of a solid team and just forget him. Mendy a much better option into the City defence and becoming essential.

  21. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Bonus points for bendy and kun??

    1. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Likely 1 for Mendy. 0 confirmed for Kun.

  22. JustPark
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Top transfer in this gw: Martial, 8693

    1. Ben the Mee
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Casuals chasing points

  23. JasonG123
    8 years, 18 days ago

    This was a perfectly viable WC team:

    Patricio
    Alonso Doherty TAA
    Hazard Sterling Mane Fraser
    Arnautovic Wilson Lacazette

    The template has been destroyed.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 18 days ago

      It wasn't tbh.

      1. JasonG123
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Think it was, maybe not Mane

    2. International Richard
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I agree jasong

  24. Sahil Yadav
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Which option would you go for?

    A) 9.0 GK pair + KDB + Vardy

    B) 8.5 GK pair + KDB + Laca

    C) 9.0 GK pair + Maddison + Aguero

  25. The Final Boss
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Not much..37(-4)..with robbo to play..in my ml yeah doing good..but happy that got Kun and schrulle for zaha and mane next week Kane and moura to vardy and mane

      8 years, 18 days ago

      Cheers. Who plays you in the film?

  26. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Salah haul and Huddersfield goal would be gold.Scary with no Liverpool defender

  27. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Priority to transfer out here?

    A) TAA
    B) ASmith

    D) Hudson
    E) King

    Ederson
    Alonso, Trent, Doherty
    Salah, Hazard, Richarlison, Maddison

    Stek, ASmith, Wan-B, Hudson

    1. MTPockets

      b/c

      1. MTPockets
        8 years, 18 days ago

  28. Vlad Tepes
    8 years, 18 days ago

    What to do with Aguero, should I get rid of him for the likes of vardy, Arnautovic. I have Laca and mitro Already

    1. fr3d
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Much more value in midfield so might as well downgrade

  29. Son is Rising
    8 years, 18 days ago

    One for my fellow Sterling owners 😆
