Salah leads the line for Liverpool at Wolves

There were very few selection surprises for the opening fixture of Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 18.

Liverpool have named their first-choice front-three of Mohamed Salah (£13.1m), Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) and Sadio Mané (£9.6m) for the second Premier League match in a row, with the Egyptian once again looking set to lead the line.

There are changes elsewhere in the side as Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) replaces Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) and James Milner (£5.6m) slots in at right-back in place of Nathaniel Clyne (£4.6m).

After securing a win over Bournemouth last time out, Wolves stick with the 3-4-1-2 formation that helped them to success in Gameweek 17.

Adama Traore (£5.2m) comes in for Diogo Jota (£5.9m) to play up front alongside Raúl Jiménez (£6.2m) while Joao Moutinho (£5.2m) plays as the number 10.

Romain Saïss (£4.2m) replaces Morgan Gibbs-White (£4.3m) in central midfield and it’s another start for Jonny (£4.3m) who made a surprise return from injury in Gameweek 17.

Wolves XI: Patricio; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Saïss, Neves, Doherty; Moutinho; Traoré, Jiménez.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Lovren, Milner; Keita, Fabinho, Henderson; Firmino, Salah, Mané.

      Yes, those 35 points from the last 3 games just aren’t good enough

    Salah is such a reliable captain.. bound to be in the points and BAPS aren’t really important for his regular returns. Well worth the price tag imo

    Seems unlikely that Salah will now start vs Newcastle. I was planning on switching after the next GW to Hazard, but might bring that forward for Hazard vs Watford.

    Is it mad to ship Salah now?

    Regardless if you took Salah out this week or 10 weeks ago (I took him out 6 weeks ago), should we be looking to bring him back in for NEW? Or is it, we made our bed now we need to lie in it?

    What’s the concensus people?

          probably. I got 8 points so far, and i have red arrows for this GW. not so small red arrows.

            Red arrows after the first game mean precisely nothing. It’s only the one at the end of the week that counts.

        Every dead team will have Salah captained. That’s why the overall average is higher than the top 10k average.

      I think Salah and Robertson could be rested vs Newcastle.
