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.

      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      I was wishing the ball out of play, never occurred to me one of my players was getting subbed 😀

  6. Smurf

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

  7. Rainer

    7 years, 1 day ago

    Trent was being targeted and will be needed down the right even more vs Porto with Robbo banned.

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    How is the Egyptian Walcott playing?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      King Midas in reverse

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Like Walcott. Awful

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Like a 6 m player

  9. Stoic
    • 9 Years

    Ryan gosling off

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Starting to regret capping Salah already

    1. Bees4Lyf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Yup it’s painful

  11. Dannyb
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    I'm sure football managers know about the 60 minute fpl rule, wan%ers

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Pretty sure they give zero fcuks about your FPL team.

    2. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Klopp has Robbo in his fpl team

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Top C this week looking at status page on fpl.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Really? Suprising

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Vardy and Hazard being captained loads in Mods and Cons league.

  13. fr3d

    No matter the result tonight, hats off to Hasenhüttl for what he's done to this Southampton side

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Hopefully they play like this when in WC teams and not just for the Sky camera tonight.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Agree

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Truesay

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Salah can’t even control a ball like a person who plays football occasionally

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      My puppy has better control and dribble skill

  15. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Salah does look broken 🙁

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      He should have been dropped ages ago

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Agree. Seems a automatic first pick ... clearly something not right with Salah ... physically but more mentally

  16. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    WC template please!

    1. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      All you need to know is No Salah!!!

  17. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    TAA off before 60, Salah off pens. Milner is an FPL albatross.

  18. Says
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    *Firmino misses shot*

    *me puts on sunglasses ahead of inevitable Firmino grimace*

  19. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    At what point can we feel sorry for Mo...

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      On 200k a week? Not anytime soon.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Erm, never?

    3. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Tough crowd 😀

  20. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Looks like Salah is going to be waiting a while before he next scores a PL goal for Liverpool

  21. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Glad I stopped with the blind faith in Salah(c). Fully prepared to ditch on WC now too.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Well played. Looks like a good choice not to (C) on today's evidence (so far).

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    VVD denies Hendo 🙁

  23. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Jamie Carragher's voice is trembling with the nerves.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      rattled.

  24. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    City choices on WC? Who are you getting?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Probs just Sterling

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Sterling for sure

      Then I’m not sure. I’ve had Ederson all season but undecided.

    3. fenixri
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Laporte and Kun

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Sterling and laporte

    5. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Surely Kun

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Might get kane 34 than swap to kun.

    6. HaffNanner
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Sterling.

    7. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Sterling, Kun, Laporte or Ederson

  25. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Shows how different managers are. Liverpool 1-1 and brings on Milner and Hendo. Man city prob bring on Sane and Dilva. Interestingg

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      If liverpool had them on the bench I'm sure they would.

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Shows the difference in squad depth really !

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Klopp doesn’t have a luxury bench though. The equivalent is Shaqiri and Sturridge...

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      That’s nothing to do with the manger.. squad depth

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Managers?

      Thats the difference when you can just bypass FFP.

    6. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Hard to compare given the contrasting options both managers have at their disposal.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        True, was just thinking position wise

    7. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      If pep managed Liverpool then I'm sure he'd bring on Shaqiri and Origi instead? Pep could bring on Danilo/Walker and Gundo if he wished

  26. Fpl-king
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    That feeling when you thought you made your transfers for the gameweek. But then realise you only have 4 Basic players playing......

    Season Ruined......

  27. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Well, another cap choice wrong. If i’d of capped Hazard then Mane would of had a field day

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      I'll see you in 20 when he gets the winner and 3 baps

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        God i hope you’re right

  28. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    What has Shaqiri done to be frozen out? This type of game is ideal for his trickery.

  29. JohnnyMagrinho
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Firmino clearly not offside there.

      But I'm sure he was. Because we all know that Liverpool only get lucky decisions. So it wouldn't fit the rhetoric there.

    • More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Shaqiri's arse continues to get splinters whilst Mo perfects his headless chicken impersonation.
