Liverpool options are expected to dominate the Gameweek 12 captain poll, which you can now cast your vote in.

The Reds are hosting Fulham, a side without a single a clean sheet in the first 11 matches. In that time Slavisa Jokanovic’s men have conceded 29 goals, averaging 2.63 per game.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have scored 12 times in five league matches at Anfield thus far which includes a goalless draw with defending champions Manchester City. Take that fixture out of the equation and Jurgen Klopp’s outfit have averaged three goals per game there against clubs outside the top six in 2018/19.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) will almost certainly be the front-runner in the poll. No Liverpool player has amassed more than his 67 points so far this season and he is also the most popular among Fantasy managers too (35.2%).

Sadio Mané (£9.8m) may not be too far behind the Egyptian with 33.8% ownership and 65 points so far, just two fewer than Salah.

Andrew Robertson (£6.4m) may be considered by some, given that Fulham have gone two favourable matches without a goal.

It will be interesting to see how many look beyond Liverpool’s incredibly appealing fixture.

Manchester City assets such as Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.1m) headlined Gameweek 11 with more big scores at home but this week they host rivals Manchester United.

The Red Devils have conceded six goals in the last four Gameweeks, only five clubs have conceded more in that time, but Fulham have still shipped more than double that since Gameweek 8.

Provided that Eden Hazard (£11.3m) is able to return to 100% following his recent back injury, he may also be considered by some Fantasy managers. Chelsea are at home against Everton, who have averaged 1.8 goals conceded per away match so far. Furthermore, Hazard has registered a goal or an assist in all but one of his home appearances this season.

Possible options among the differentials are Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.7m) who face Wolves this week, both with returns across their last two home games.

Harry Kane (£12.4m), fresh from a statistically strong match at Molineux, could be considered as an alternative as Spurs travel to Crystal Palace, while the in-form Marko Arnautovic (£7.1m) faces Huddersfield Town.

    You guys think Maddison will drop again before the deadline?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah

    2. The 5% Team
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, at this rate I think he will on Friday unfortunately, just like Mitrovic last week

      1. Carcaju
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        This sucks... A 0.1 drop is bad but acceptable; 0.2 is gonna make it really bad if he doesn't deliver against burnley

  2. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    This is Liverpool in Europe. They kind of do come backs.

  3. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Maybe if Terence Trent was playing this wouldnt have been looking so bad for Pool

  4. Meinhoff

    CRVENA ZVEZDA!!!

    1. Jules Rimet

    No need to worry folks, Liverpool assets are saving their energy for the 7-0 Fulham thrashing on Sunday!

    Spurs XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Winks, Eriksen, Alli, Moura, Son, Kane

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Aurier audition

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Trippier says audition over

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Not if you’ve watched him recently!

      2. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Trippier has been very poor against spurs and wolves

        was at fault for goals in both games. can see him getting rotated with Aurier

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          If trippier is bad vs Spurs then there is an issue

          1. HurriKane
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            *mancity 😀

        2. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Ndidi

          Plus Poch comments and so with a good performance I wouldn’t be surprised if Aurier gets a run in the side

        3. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah agree looked naff against spurs 😆

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years

        Very attacking! Must be a great feeling to have Winks on the books. Proper player.

    3. diesel001

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      😆

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sturridge wagon broke down 3 years ago

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lol he is being subbed for being awful.No chance he plays on sunday

    4. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I think this is positive for all the premium pool players

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    TAA off for Gomes and Firminio on also.

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      bad news for taa owners. will be dropped for fulham

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mitrovic essential

  15. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is this good for TAA starting vs Fulham?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      The opposite imo

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        🙁

        1. Garth Marenghi
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          🙁

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Errrrrm I’ve got news....

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Bad IMO.He is dropped

    4. Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Probably quite opposie way

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    TAA and Sturridge not going to play against Fulham now.

    Although VVD and Robbo have been crap IMO. Robbo has been giving the ball away a lot.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I thought Robertson was very poor and VVD was bad also

  17. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Game over for Trent owners I guess.He will be dropped for a few matches now I think

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Was he that bad?

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I would have taken off Robbo. Don't think TAA has been that bad. Put TAA at LB and Gomez at RB

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'll wait for Klopp's opinion

  18. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mane should’ve done better

  19. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mané came on with ice skates?

  20. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years

    RIP TAA

    1. Scapegoat Salah

  21. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool need to get their attacking swagger back a bit. This reliance on one goal wins is good, but I think they need to start blitzing teams to get City's attention.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I always thought City and Pool would make a cute couple

      1. TheTinman

        So funny brah.

  22. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    0.3 short on doing TAA and Mitro ---> Jimenez and Robertson....
    Settle for VVD?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  23. fc_skrald
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Who should I play?

    Success, Zabaleta, Bennett, McDonald

  24. Zco

    Amazing atmosphere at Marakana tonight..the mighty Red Star Belgrade rolling back the years.

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Around 28 years 😉

      1. Mysterion
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Or 45 years 😉

    2. JJO
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Its always like that at Marakana
      We just need bigger budget to have some more serious part in Europe competitions
      But fans and atmosphere is always there

  25. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Tempted to lose TAA ahead of Mitro now lol

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Depends if you planned on playing one this week. At least you know Mitro will start.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes planned to play TAA will probably just do Mitro to Wilson and bench TAA and move him to Doherty next week

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Think Mitro out is still the right move. Fulham looked horrendous.

          1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers mate, yeah looking at Wilson or Jimenez

  26. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Gomez is already miles better. Must move on Trent I suppose

  27. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Still start TAA this week or bench him? No FT left.

    Schmeichel
    TAA Mendy Alonso
    Mane Moura Maddison Hazard Pereyra
    Arnoutavic Aguero

    Stekelenburg Trippier AWB Kamara

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      May as well start him. Good chance he starts still

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Good chance? Seriously?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          If Gomez plays in the middle again then TAA is automatically RB no?

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Why you got Trip on bench anyway

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        This

      2. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Who would you bench?

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Take the hit. It is a good long term move

    4. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If you gonna bench Tripps against a team that can't score you may as well get rid of him and free up some cash

    5. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Tripps has arguably the best fixture out of any of your defenders

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        So bench who lol?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Moura

        2. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          bench taa ... a start looking dodgy now and the other three are your big gun defenders with goodish fixtures.

          If you had a weaker attacker playing I'd be tempted to play taa in a 442 [in case he starts] but your forward line looks quite strong so I'd go with the 352 I think

          1. Scotty B
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers for the comments.

            Should I not just play TAA and then first sub will auto sub in?

            Not sure I can risk benching him at home to Fulham just incase

            1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Kinda agree but which attacker do you bench ... tough decision!

              No way I'd bench Trippier though ... it would maybe have to be Moura as mentioned, just that concern of a taa cameo if he doesn't start

              Could go either way ... monitor Lovren fitness this week. If he is fit then taa start becomes more doubtful.

  28. lindeg
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    i think salah might just be a one season wonder, will probably get 15 goals or so, but nothing close to last years achievements

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Do you realize no one did what he did last year?

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Bit harsh .....guy was awesome in Roma the year before .

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Everyone will sell once Fulham are out of the way

    4. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Possible

  29. Champions united
