Key Liverpool assets all start in trip to Southampton

All the key Fantasy Premier League assets from Liverpool’s ranks have been handed starts for their Friday night visit to Southampton.

Mohamed Salah (£13.2m), Sadio Mané (£10.1m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) are the front three as expected, with the first two of those backed by around 23% of voters in the latest captain poll.

Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.5m) flank the defence, with Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) starting alongside Joel Matip (£4.9m).

After a lengthy lay-off Joe Gomez (£4.8m) has travelled with the squad but is not quite ready for the bench.

The only changes to Liverpool’s side that beat Spurs at the weekend are in central midfield, far away from Fantasy concerns.

Naby Keita (£7.1m) and Fabinho (£5.5m) return to the midfield with Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) and James Milner (£5.6m) named on the bench.

Danny Ings (£5.4m) misses out for Southampton as he is ineligible to face his parent club which means a start for Shane Long (£4.6m).

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.6m) is back in the side to form part of a three-man back-line with Maya Yoshida (£4.1m) and Jan Bednarek (£4.0m).

Southampton XI: Gunn, Valery, Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Redmond, Long.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Keita, Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Salah.

    RMBBT

    Leno - Foster
    Trippier - Kolasinac - Holebas - Valery - Bennett
    Sterling - SOn - Mkhitaryan - Deulofeu - JWP
    Kane - Aguero - Jimenez

    Ryan and a Brighton attacker will be there for DGW 34 on my WC.

      Pretty good but then noticed Mkhitaryan! Personally don’t think kane is worth the cash but can’t really argue with most of that team (apart from Mkhitaryan!)

        Can't find a decent option at that price point.

      Is this what this site has come to, jesus

      1. Pat Bonner

        • 12 Years

        It’s a change from gw fail and lol chat!!

        1. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          They’ve grown over the years and don’t bother me much. Either do comparisons tbh but this one unless it was a typo, -8 might have given it some credibility

          1. Konstaapeli
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            It's a joke. Thought it would be obvious.

    2. Lazaretti

      Seriously?

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years

        😆 of course not. My ML rival is toasted!

    Camarasa TC?!

  7. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Ederson and Laporte for the run in i think #momentsofclarity

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      With the title run they might rotate.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Title won*

    2. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not the worst idea at this stage

  8. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Next scorer prediction

    Salah

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Robertson 😉

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Matip Or Bertrand

  9. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I switched from Haz to Salah last minute...writing from behind the sofa

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      My dog told me to stop tinkering with my fpl captain choice and play with her instead in the Garden.

      Eden it is.

    2. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Crowded behind this sofa.

  10. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Bought Foster, Duffy, Valery, JWP, Doucoure, Son, Deulofeu, Rashford.

    Sold Gunn, Luiz, WB, Westwood, Hazard, Tielemens, Salah, Vardy.

    Busy night.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard megahaul and he could rise.

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Haz doesn't play until Monday and it's another Friday deadline!

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      And Son could fall

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        This. I’m not buying h til he falls to 8.5.

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      And Rashford also.

    4. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sell Son, let him price fall, then get him before next Friday

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Tbf, buying on a wildcard doesn’t affect price change. Just dumb.

    5. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Got money back on Hazard at 11.1, was on a 0.3 loss at one stage. Son most signed mid player this week, might switch Rash for Laca overnight then. Got 7m ITB.

  11. Revival

    Need Liverpool to click into gear in the 2nd half now

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nahh it's chill

  12. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Who is winning the battle between Shlong and Matip?

  13. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Valery essential

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      How?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Getting in v good positions, overlapping and good fixtures. Cheaaappp enabler aswell

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          May have to consider him 🙂

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        To decode - attacking wingback cheap.

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Great fixtures. Cheap. Nailed. Why wouldn't you want?

    2. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Weird how all the Bednarek lovers have seen the light 😉

  14. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Due to price changes tonight the only moves I’m doing are:

    Salah to JWP
    Boruc to Leno

    I don’t think I want Leno, but if I do end up with him, at least I save 0.1m

    Maddison and Wilson saved for now for a price rise.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Ooh snap same as below.

      I have Kepa and Ederson. Might do Kepa to Leno for the rise then

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I did salah to jwp & i have 10.2m itb atm 😕
      Feels odd.
      All players in the team can rise if perform so waiting for next moves

  15. Richd
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What WC moves have you done so far? For price rises

    I’ve got in Mane and JWP for a brooks and Salah just to get the price moves.

    Anything else we should keep an eye on ?

    Wolves , spurs and city assets may drop tonight. Touch wood

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Can’t remember, it was so long ago.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salah+Clyne >> jwp + taa

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salah to Mane. Richarlison to CHO. Higuain to Wilson. If Wilson & CHO delivers they might dbl rise

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Leno maybe if you are considering him? Get rid of rice if u have him

    5. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Almiron > JWP
      Hamer > Leno
      Kepa > Ryan
      Salah > Mane
      So far.

      Waiting on possible drops on Son,Jimenez,Aguero

  16. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Robbo hoofs it to back row 🙁

  17. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone using WC this week not pulled it yet?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      My gf is out so it’s best I wait

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Oh whoops. Misunderstood. Sorry mods

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Not going near Matip

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  18. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Are these Brighton double-doubles overrated.
    I have gone from treble Brighton defence to no Brighton player.
    I jsut remembered that they are not that good really...

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Think at least Ryan or a defender are definitely worth a spot on a WC.

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Duffy might get a goal. The end

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      4 GW's are very good. 10.5 predicted points over those 4 games. Problem is last 2 GW's of the season suck and you will be benching or selling them for then.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Good point about the benching/selling.
        I suppose if Brighton get one clean sheet in thier four then they would be justifiable picks.
        I think cardiff is thier best chance after that it will probably be 1s and 2s

    4. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Treble up would be ott for me, not on the basis that they won’t get anything over the doubles, more so coming out the other side

  19. FPL_Gyarados
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    At least with having only 8 players this week it means that the 3 that make up the rest of the starting 11 can't disappoint me.

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Redmond wants a move.

    Salah swap deal?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Give jwp his move
      He's rising im price 😉

  21. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Redmond looking good. Jwp with set pieces but Redmond might be the one to get

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He's junk. Watched him since Small Heath days. Gunn Valery Hojboj JWP all better picks

  22. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone going to keep Hazard on their wildcard?

  23. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    JWP is a shoe in on my WC after this game.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      3 Soton was a shoe in on my WC before this game

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      How often are you going to play him though?
      If it’s just 35 then why not just get Hojbjerg and use the cash elsewhere.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I had Hojbjerg for most of the season sick of looking at him on the bench.
        . JWP will be my super sub.
        There is only a few weeks left in any case.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          If you don’t need the cash elsewhere then yes he’s a better pick.

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I have plenty of cash in my WC team structure

        Leno-Foster
        Valery-Robertson-Laporte-kolasinac-Trippier
        Son-JWP-eriksen-sterling-mane
        Deeney-Jiminez-lacazette

        1.5m itb
        Plan to get salah gw35 in for sterling- liverpool play cardiff and have other good fixtures

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I thought about the Son,Erikson double up instead of Kane.
          Think I’d have Aguero or Auba if no Kane. Easy to move between if needed.
          That team looks good though.

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            It was not all my idea
            This article ended up changing my thinking
            https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2019/04/05/question-time-free-hit-in-blank-gameweek-33-and-future-planning/

            The gist of Adam Hopcroft's argument was that man city will have a lot of rotation and are not likely to hammer teams.

            So I decieded not to get aguero for that reason.

            1. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Something to think about. Thanks

      3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        ironically, Hojbjerg is on for two bonus and an assist v liverpool at the moment.

    3. MTPockets
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Could prove a damp squid

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          But he takes freekicks corners and is on form

    4. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Goodbye AWB you 4.0 FPL legend.

      We can all hope to include such immense value in pre-season next year.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Can't imagine we get as good of a 4.0 next season. FPL Towers probably don't want to make the same mistake twice!

        I'm astounded he wasn't 4.5m. Talk to a Palace fan before the season started and chances are they could have told you he'd be starting.

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Tbh fpl ruined it by pricing at 4.0. Everyone had him.

        2. Dybala10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Didn't he start like the last 8 or 9 games? It seemed obvious to all.

        3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I hope he moves after he is repriced could be great value at the likes of spurs/man united

      2. No Luck
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Like Wardinho and Demelinho before him, rest in peace sweet prince

    5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Have y'all played WC already?
      How's the template like?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Made 22 transfers but not activated it yet. I want my transfers to affect price changes.

    6. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Fabinho is causing all of this pressure on pool

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

      Why are Liverpool called “The Reds” when their kit is purple?

      1. No Luck
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Will we ever know...?

      2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cos purps sounds like perpetrators

    8. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool touch and passing is so poor at times

    9. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Southampton look like the team challenging for the title.

      Actually heard on talk sport that if the league started in January, Southampton would be 5th.

        Southampton are really playing with freedom enjoying thier football worlds away from the likes of Mark Hughes team.

      Jiminez dropping tonight would be perfect. Will have dropped 0.2 since I sold... hoped for 0.3 but can’t have it all.

        I sold way too early. Hopefully I'm not stubborn enough to ignore him

          I didn’t think I’d get him back but also hoped he’d drop enough to enable me to change my mind.

          I think his double is awesome and so if they lose the semi this weekend he’s nailed for my team.

          Sometimes you gotta admit you were wrong 🙂

        Glad I held him as bought at 5.5. Happy to keep until gw38
