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

    Time to sub Salah off .

    1. Point-one short
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Nope

  2. Bialystrzelec
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Any bonus for Salah at this point.

    1. Epic Fail
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yes

    2. grumpyman
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Could be 3 with winning goal bonus.

  3. Pooodle
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Who should go out for Jimenez to free up Robertson funds?

    A) Arnie

    B) Mitro

    Otherwise I could ignore Robertson and get Gomez, and keep Arnie and Mitro.

    1. Epic Fail
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B

      1. Pooodle
        8 years, 18 days ago

        That’s what I’m thinking - he has good fixtures but Fulham aren’t great.

        1. Epic Fail
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Arnie is a much better player than Mitro. i trust him more even if fixtures are slightly worse.

          1. Pooodle
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Yeah I think that’s right. Just annoyed after bringing him back in last week for Wilson (losing 13 points) and Arnie getting back to back 1s.

    2. 7heart45
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Mitro probably!

  4. Rainer
    8 years, 18 days ago

    3 - Lovren (31)
    2 - Salah (26)
    1 - Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson (25)

    Salah's deductions out numbering his current winning goal bonus. More returns or a Hud goal needed for him to get BAPs.

    1. Holmes
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Robertson getting BPs again, sigh...

    2. grumpyman
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Out of interest, where can you see a players current bps deductions?

    3. Point-one short
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Lovren best defender in the world. 2 finals.

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        8 years, 18 days ago

        And no cups. Two silvers only good at City.

  5. Zilla
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Is Aurier back? Not sure what to do with Tripps

    1. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      KWP coming for the spot last I heard.

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 18 days ago

        😆

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

      He's back

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Ah cheers

    3. Puncheon Guly
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'm shipping for Mendy. Fixtures aren't good enough

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Is that the week to do it though?

    4. Ghost Gooner
      8 years, 18 days ago

      If he plays in the CL Tripp will play vs City. I'm going to get rid of him for Mendy in two gws myself

      1. Lazaretti
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Same plan.

  6. 7heart45
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Bobby needs to come in now

  7. Gobigorgohome
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Lallana injured

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

      Surprised it took so long to see this message

    2. Deulofail
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Slipped on a Lanana skin

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      In other news, water is wet.

  8. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Bloody hell Lallana completely overmatched today

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

      What does overmatched mean?

      1. Point-one short
        8 years, 18 days ago

        It's the opposite of undermatched.

      2. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 18 days ago

        It means he's rubbish and doesn't belong at this level

  9. Rainer
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Lallana off
    Fabinho on

  10. Differentiator
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Huddersfield deserve a goal

    1. Bubz
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Why?

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

        Because he doesn’t have any Liverpool defenders.

      2. Mic
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Obviously: He thinks based on the balance of play that Huddersfield should have had a goal by now. Obviously.

        1. Bubz
          8 years, 18 days ago

          They've had one shot on target

        2. Epic Fail
          8 years, 18 days ago

          But based on their efforts at goal (or lack of) they deserve nothing.

      3. Deulofail
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Good behaviour

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

      Don't always get what you deserve.

      1. Deulofail
        8 years, 18 days ago

        So wise

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

      Yep, another Salah goal to really demoralise them

    4. Ghost Gooner
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Score should be 2-1 to Hud

  11. Mic
    8 years, 18 days ago

    COME ON HUDS!!

  12. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Brandon from Hail Cheaters did a crocodile Dundee/Mick from wolf creek on breakfast club today.

    "That's not a beard, Az, Andy, Joe and David. Now THATS a beard."

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

      Didn't stick to the xG plan?

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

        Reply fail?

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

      Proper man's beard. None of that teenage bum fluff. 😆

    3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Scoutcast needed another beard...

  13. Differential C (Mark)
    8 years, 18 days ago

    What happened to Lallana? Did bits for us at southampton, but now nowhere near the same level

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

      Was excellent two seasons ago but has been perpetually injured ever since.

  14. Srv210
    8 years, 18 days ago

    This goal gives Salah one more week to prove himself or I'm switching him out

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

      As if you'd sell ahead of Cardiff at home

      1. George Sillett
        8 years, 18 days ago

        When Mane starts and Salah is benched.

    2. Bruce Lee
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Just feeding this back to Salah at Huddersfield, he will ensure he does his best to impress you, sir.

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I’m sure he’s terrified.

    4. Point-one short
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Now seems like the time to sell him. GL.

  15. C'mon the Fylde
    8 years, 18 days ago

    I wanted to bring Salah in last week.
    I wish I had. What a terrible week.

    Would you do;
    Kane & Richarlison OUT
    King & Salah IN

    Patricio
    Bennett Alonso Mendy TAA
    Maddison Richarlison* Hazard
    Mitrovic Kane* Lacazette

    Hamer, Trippier, Fraser, Billing

  16. only2
    8 years, 18 days ago

    How likely is it Mane will start next? Cardif at home looks too good to resist

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

      See what happens midweek.

      1. only2
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Thanks, but need to pull the trigger tonight due to lucas dropping and have excactly enough itb to do lucas + alonso -> mane & duffy

  17. Ha Ha Land
    8 years, 18 days ago

    No accuracy from Salah and that swiftness of last season is long gone!! Loosing bps due to this.
    Not at per with the price tag.
    But with uncertainty over Sterling now I think Salah is best option.

    1. Ross From Friends
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah i wont be bringing Salah in...that goal was all Shaqiri anyway

      1. Ha Ha Land
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I will need a sofa bigger than my house next week.

        1. Ross From Friends
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Nah, he'll just pull a blank like Kane did and trolled us all last week

  18. fedolefan
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Come on Mo. One more goal please. I have completely revised my expectations.

  19. Bruce Lee
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Salah is owned by 30% of the top10k... I'd reckon he is a differential for those around that area...

    Come on Mo

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

    So Lovren ousted TAA now? Might switch to Brighton defender

  21. Rainer
    8 years, 18 days ago

    No TAA.

  22. Rash
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Salah going to get 90 mins

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

    Looks like TAA no show. Firmino 3rd sub likely.

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

      Milner to be subbed off.

  24. The Big Fella
    8 years, 18 days ago

    What is the winning goal worth in BPS?

    1. diesel001
      8 years, 18 days ago

      3

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      +3 BPS.

    3. Point-one short
      8 years, 18 days ago

    4. Epic Fail
      8 years, 18 days ago

      FPL site broken?

      1. The Big Fella
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Didn't know it was on there

  25. 7heart45
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Firmino in!

  26. Point-one short
    8 years, 18 days ago

    C'mon Mo. One more; you owe me this.

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

    Sturridge yc

  28. DAZZ
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Ahh. No TAA means a jammy Dunk 8 pointer for me!

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Gunnarsson 1-pt #winning

  29. SADIO SANÉ
    8 years, 18 days ago

    TAA bench banked

  30. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone going to take a punt on the best defender in the world now that he is back in the first team @£4.9?

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

      If he sticks around its certainly tempting.

    2. Deulofail
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Risky move imo for a few reasons

    3. Lilac Breasted Roller
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Only if I need to get rid of Robertson due to injury or sorely needed cash
