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.

    Why were people getting rid of him!?

    1. King H
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you don't own Salah or sold him before this GW then your OR could be taking a hit tonight because Salah will get a hatrick tonight.

        Nope
