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.

    I HATE captain choices. Never ever right.

      I nailed 3 captains early: Mané, Aguero and Hazard in GWs 1,2 & 5.

      Since then only 4 double digit captains GWs 10,11,15 and 23.

      Yes some 5,6 and 9 points but generally awful captain choices.

      Usual suspects let me down, Kane, Auba, Kun, Salah, Mane, Sterling, Hazard.

      Other way round for me.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        still good chance of returns if not better

          Yup, happy enough with my choice after this game. Was fearing a big haul for one of the other guys in my minileague who captained Liverpool players.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Gone for exactly this.

    3. JohnnyMagrinho
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Had Mane as my Vice but captained Vardy.

        Thank god for that.

        1. DR0GBA

      Wait, people are selling an inform Salah? 😮

      1. some witty pun
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1 goal in the last gazillion games is hardly inform. But I'm likely to keep him for TC 36

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

        Salah bps ??

      3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Far from inform

    9. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years

      Any bonus for Salah?

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Doubt it

      Ouch Mané and Robertson owners. TAA doubled your combined tally and he only played 58mins to your 180.

      1. columbo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Bit harsh!

    13. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      20 points from 4 played. I will take that.

    14. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years

      He do YC good for Salah

      1. SEXY SALAH

      Nice parting gift from Salah before he goes on my WC. Thanks Mo.

    16. JohnnyMagrinho
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Rubbish goal by Salah.
        Lucky win for Liverpool.
        Southampton deserved to win that 8-0.
        Shocking game of football.

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Was a decent goal by Salah tbf.

          1. JohnnyMagrinho
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Is that double sarcasm?

          2. XabiAlonso
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Lol

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

          My ML rival got 3 YC in the last 10 mins. That escalated quickly!

          This is gonna be an odd GW

        3. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Taking of your shirt when celebrating a goal is so cliché.

        4. rnrd
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          What’s the rule of the winning goal regarding bps? For instance tonight has salah or hendo scored the winning goal?

          1. InSaneMan-e
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Salah

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

            Salah. As the second goal won it

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Just to clarify further. If saints made it 3-2 at the end then Henderson gets winning goal

              Such a weird rule

              1. rnrd
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Thanks for the info !

                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Why weird... If Saints scored 2 then Salahs 2nd goal for Liverpool wouldn't have been enough to win the game?

            2. Napster03
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Does this means Salah will have bonus points?

          3. Garlana
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Salah did 2-1 is the winning goal.

          4. FPL.team
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago
