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.

            Carragher is a way too emotionally involved to do commentary for a Liverpool game tbf.He sounds like a man on the verge of a nervous break down.

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Makes for good viewing. Same way Neville was pulling himself off up until Toby OGs on Sunday.

                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                It might make for good viewing from an LFC perspective but commentators are supposed to be unbiased. He's a joke. Screaming about Salah on Sunday was also totally unprofessional

                  • 12 Years

                  Not to mention he was referring to Liverpool players like a fan would. Bobby Virgil. And speaking to Henderson in commentary

              • 14 Years

              Agreed. Would have feared for Martin Tyler if they had slipped up. Carragher spiting feathers about the non penalty

              These commentators are annoying me... "man city don't fight for wins". So just because they batter a team means they haven't fought. So biased fml

                Yeah murder isn’t it. Fought pretty hard when they took 4 points of Liverpool this season

              2. Licky
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I guess the point is that they haven't been in adverse conditions under pressure and had to find a way (not nearly as often), that's a good thing for them though.

                1. Tsparkes10
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yup but sounds like they are trying to take credit away from City. And City have won games by 1 or 2 goals in last 10 mins like Pool just did? Grr

                They always say that winning a scrappy and tight game is a "sign of champions", when the real sign of champions is not being toothless or leaving yourself desperate with 10 minutes left.

                1. Tsparkes10
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Exactly. So for City to be considered a deserved, 'proppa' team they should just piss about for a good 80 mins and then start playing

              That double liverpool defence of VVD and Robertson have a whole 3 points between them.
              Before the game I was convinced of a clean sheet at least.

              I'm sure it's been said but Carragher commentating on Liverpool games has to stop. He doesn't even attempt to hide his bias.

              At least when Gary Neville does United games he tries to be 50/50

              1. diesel001
                • 7 Years

                Agree.

                I prefer the commentary team of Bill Leslie and Andy Hinchcliffe.
