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

      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He's worthless sat on bench declining in value

    5. DMP
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Liverpool defence looks so bad with Lovren... Not sure if I will ship him out this week. Can afford one drop, so pherhapps I’ll wait.

      Otherwise I have to take one hit to get Mendy, in order to catch the rise, but this week it’s not the very best move with Spurs next.

  3. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Lovren yc needed

  4. Jealous Viper
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Pool for the title if it wasn't for man city being frankly brilliant.

    They have learnt to play badly and still win.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      So you're saying Liverpool would win the league if there weren't better teams than them?

  7. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Salah doing his best to throw away the Baps

  8. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Salah you headless chicken. That was such a simple pass

  9. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So poor Salah

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Salah BAP will be very close.

  11. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Have Walker and TAA ... two cleanies... Yes!

    ...Ooh wait :/

  12. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Lovren is shite, TAA doesn't deserve this 🙁

  13. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    salah baps gone surely?

  14. Fin
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    My God Salah that was dreadful

  15. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hopefully Cardiff are just a bit better

  16. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    C'mon Mo. One more.

  17. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years

  18. internal error

    As a liverpool fan, ive stained my pants

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Poor again today but 3 points 🙂

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm also excited with 2 playing liverpool players.

  19. TAT
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Huddersfield haven't been that bad.

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      They lost, great performance or not, 0 points

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Very true, of course.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      They have. Individually they lack the level of physical attributes (speed and power) and/or the football brain required for the PL.

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Seen them a lot worse than this.

  20. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Salah MOTM, 3 bonus confirmed

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      5 in Sky game

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        nice

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lampard & gerrard picked up 3 as well

  21. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    8 point haul for 12.8 mn, good enough? Against possibly the worst team in the league (maybe Newcastle too, joint worst let's say)

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Better than agueros 6

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Well he saves you 1.5 million too

      2. Meinhoff
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        No, he's 1.5 cheaper

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No but with Cardiff and Fulham, both at home, coming up it would seem bizarre to sell him

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I'm contemplating whether to get him, for a hit
        Cardiff will park the bus, salah won't score more than 1 probably. Fulham however is definitely a game to captain him

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        It’s clear now that Fulham really, genuinely don’t have a flipping clue about how to defend, though.

        Although I prefer the Liverpool side that used to put teams like Huddersfield to the sword.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Thats your decision

      For me, its fine as long as they are coming consistently

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, true, it's not that I'll not get him, I'm just trying to see how long can I go through without him
        Hoping lacazette matches him on Monday

    4. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Worst two teams in terms of conceding to come...FUL and CAR

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not really about the £ on a week like this, more that he scored higher than the popular captaincy option and scored in a week where very few did

  22. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    TAA to Gomez?

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Or leftfield duffy/periera.

      Check brighton & Leicester fixtures

  23. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Holding on to TAA for another week?

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes I don't like points

    3. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes definitley.

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      yeah

  24. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Up the pool.

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Liverpool lose that game last season.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      VVD and Alisson the difference.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      ?

  26. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    salah baps gone then ffs

  27. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Salah game winning goal and 3 BAPS?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      no

  28. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    43 with Maddy & Richi to play.
    will take that

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      39 Maddison and Henny for me. I just want to match the top 10k average

  29. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kane captainer...feel like I’ve dodged a couple of Aguero and Salah sized bullets

  30. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Interesting question now is: do we sell Salah or not? 1 goal is enough to consider keeping but not quite enough to justify a £12.8m price tag. Ahhhhh Salah! You are driving me mad. I wish he hadn't scored so this would be easier.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wrong time to sell.

      1. Ross From Friends
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Wrong time to buy too

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      This is a bad question

    3. The Red Devil
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Obviously if you've got him, you keep him, two very easy fixtures
