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

    So was Trippier & Kane > Mendy & Aguero(c) worth it for a -4 this week?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah by 1 or 2 points.

    2. drughi
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Depends on who you would've captained if you didn't get aguero

    3. Warby84
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I did and c Aguero

  2. PASTATOGEL
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Martial looks very good!.. Anybody considering him ?

  3. Lexi2014

    Anyone know why Knockhart didn’t play today?

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

      Knock to the heart

      1. Son is Rising
        8 years, 18 days ago

        And you're to blame

        1. Y26 Royal

          You give love a bad name

            Wo wo wo, shake it up

    2. Camzy

      Dropped afaik. But he might've gotten a knock *heh*. We'll find out in due time.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    4. THFC4LIFE

      8 years, 18 days ago

      No idea 3 jammy Hojbjerg points for me off the bench though

  4. EMERGING STAR
    8 years, 18 days ago

    After those results I can confidently say.

    WILDCARD FAILED. (Sterling, Doherty, Fraser, Alonso, Fabianski and NO MENDY)

    1. TheDragon
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Hopefully you didn’t wildcard with just this week in mind

  5. Lemongrab
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Exact money to do AWB and Ings to Mendy and Sturridge. If Sturridge does well today that knee might be jerking!

    1. Lemongrab
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Also don't really want to bring in Mendy this week but you just know his price is going to rise

  6. Jon Snow
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Shout out to Marcos Alonso. Inconsistent, cost the clean sheet by going for a nap, cost a Hazard yellow while playing RW and getting caught out of position.

    Desperately keeping my knee from jerking, he's got good fixtures. But feel he might drop if everyone jumps back to Mendy

    1. Lemongrab
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He was still getting himself forward enough for me to hold. Keep the faith

  7. The Final Boss
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Bps Mendy 3 points and schrulle one point?????

    1. Holmes
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Looks like 1 and 0

  8. Nice to Finally Michu
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Why does anewpla still have Mendy on for 3 BAPs?

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

      Same as FPL.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Sigh, painful. Had hoped he'd be shifted down to 1

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

          anewpla use FPL, FPL isn't final.

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Because FPL haven't added the deductions.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Cheers

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Because fpl still have him on for 3

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8 years, 18 days ago

      Deductions and winning goal haven't been included.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu

        Got it

  10. Yoshioka
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Triple-captained Sterling, but it's fine because I did the sensible thing and named Hazard vc. (How do I delete my team?)

      Wowzers! Wowzers trousers!

      Absolutely bonkers mate, no reason not to save for a DGW

  11. Deulofail
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Do you really want to replace TAA of Liverpool with a 5.0 option from a team who'll keep half the clean sheets and be involved in no more goals than TAA when he plays? Might be an idea to get a better first and/or second sub if you can't deal with the possibility he won't play next week. Either that, or I'd upgrade him to a Mendy or Robbo. These are my thoughts

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No sh1t, Sherlock.

      1. Holmes

      2. Deulofail

        Thank you for your contribution.

          Always welcome. 😉 😆

    2. Son is Rising
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'm going sideways to Gomez I think

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

    If, hypothetically, Sturridge becomes Liverpool's starting forward and gets, say, 60 mins a game (ala Kun) - would he be a better buy than Jimenez, in your opinion?

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

      Yea definitely, but its a big if

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

      Injury prone.

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

        That wasn't the question, but thanks for the obvious... 😉

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yes but can't see that happening.

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

        What would it take - if he scored today and got an assist would he be back to the bench next week?

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Hypothetically yes

    5. Alexis Nonsense
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yes

  13. Rocky FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Thoughts on going without any City forwards and mids?

    1. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Do-able definitely.

    2. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Brave.

      Mids are a minefield and Kun's minutes are a worry but he could easily haul every week. I wouldn't be selling Kun.

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

        I have Mendy and Sterling. I would rather have Vardy / Lacazette than Aguero if he is going to play only 60 minutes. They have so many talented players, anyone can score. Really tempted to get Salah for sterling. But that would leave without any attack from city.

        1. Rainer
          8 years, 18 days ago

          I'd count Mendy as a City attacker. Sterling proved today why I wouldn't get him in. Kun's ownership a big factor too.

          No out and out attacker from the team who'll be top scorers doesn't sit well with me.

    3. The Big Fella
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Madness

    4. Y26 Royal
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Crazy fool! I'm keeping Aguero and getting in KDB soon.

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

        Dont have Aguero mate. I have got sterling. Happy with 60 minutes? I know he gets points. But this 60 minutes every game is a big turn off for me.

        1. Y26 Royal
          8 years, 18 days ago

          It would be if he kept blanking but he's scoring regularly and there's always a big haul in him. The midfield is a minefield so i've stayed clear. Will get in in KDB though now he is back.
          You've gotta have a few players from a team that scores freely like City.

    5. Pukki Party
      8 years, 18 days ago

      You're talking about a team that just scored 5 goals

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

        I know but look at the scorers. No clue who is safe. Agueros constant 60 minutes is a turn off.

        1. Pukki Party
          8 years, 18 days ago

          But Aguero is nailed on, rather 60 every game than 90,0,90 imo

    6. Giroud Depardieu
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Not a good idea! Sterling and Aguero are almost as close to essential as Laca. Bar injuries, I’ll be keeping them for the foreseeable.

  14. Alexis Nonsense
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Oh dear....26pts with Salah, Richa and Robertson to go

    Red arrow incoming

    1. Dele

      Keep the dribble on the pitch.

  19. UnitednationsXI

    8 years, 18 days ago

    As stephens dropping in price tonight, need to make the move. 2fts

    Foster -- Patricio
    Alonso Robbo Doherty -- Shaw Awb
    Salah Maddison Richarlison Stephens -- camarasa
    Kane Kun King

    A: Shaw + Stephens + Kane >> Schindler + Hazard + Ings (-4). Allows me to play 343 or 433. Also leaves 0.6m itb to do king >> arnie/mitro in gw11

    B: Shaw + Camarasa + Kane >> Mendy + Hazard + Kamara (-4). Means i am stuck with 442 and a poor bench. Also, what to do with king from gw11

    1. Egg noodle
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A, Arnie swings it

  20. DAZZ
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Lallana out wide, shaq deeper?

    1. Rainer
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Lallana trying to play the Mane role in from the left. Shaq most advanced mid.

    6. Silecro
      8 years, 18 days ago

      god no, long days are gone when OT was impenetrable fortress, and given that Rich is probably going to play ST again...

    7. Y26 Royal
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No way

  25. Planet Head
    8 years, 18 days ago

    So Klopp was just trolling us when he said he dropped TAA 2 weeks ago because it was his birthday weekend?

        Guessing you didn't see yesterday's press conference

  26. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

  27. Salah’s Sonnet

    Team is:

    Ederson
    Alonso - Robertson - TAA
    Sterling - Maddison - Hazard - Richarlison
    Mitro - Aguero - Arnie

    As a salah owner, kun capper should i celebrate goals or worry if its more than 1?

    1. mir

      Goals, goals and more goals

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Celebrate IMO, Salah is almost a differential now and ghost teams with him as captain won't affect you

    3. F4L
      8 years, 18 days ago

      his ownership is lower than you think

      Celebrate if overall rank is your main goal.

  29. diesel001
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Hopefully with all the changes to the line-up in attack (Shaq, Studge, Lallana and no TAA) then Liverpool will struggle.

    1. F4L
      8 years, 18 days ago

      its inevitable. Firmino is the most important man in their system imo

  30. Monkey Hanger
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Pool completely different side without the 'Tricky Trio' up front.

    1. Zilla
      8 years, 18 days ago

      They were still shite the last 5 games with them
