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.

  4. Sargasso C
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Hitting wildcard so I can transfer out the useless Egyptian #&__@-$r will be the best moment or my fantasy season. Maybe even my year

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Bloody Mido!

    2. fenixri

    7 years, 3 days ago

    Southampton producing some great blocks. Impressed by their defending.

  7. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone keeping one or more Pool players on WC?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Robbi.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Robbo even.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Yes

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Keeping TAA, Salah and Mane with those fixtures.
      But I don't have a WC.... or a clue

    4. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Robbo maybe

  8. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    why do people always feel the need to point out that Salah is Egyptian? seems weird

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Because he is

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Don’t know. When I curse Arnie I always call him an Austrian B***** though

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      It's like Josh King. He's English. No need to remind us!

    4. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      They probably didn’t realize that this is 2019 and any reference to descriptive adjectives is offensive.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        There’s a big inconsistency in what’s deemed acceptable and completely inacceptable.

        1. SweeSwee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 days ago

          Ah, you didn’t get the memo. No, it’s all adjectives that are offensive, not just some of them.

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 days ago

            Snowflake

          2. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 days ago

            who mentioned being offended Pikachu? just saying it's weird, a borderline obsession for some

    5. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Be weirder if they kept pointing out he was Welsh

    6. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Tut Tut

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Walk like an Egyptian

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Alisson’s kit is vomit inducing

  10. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Robo denies Salah an embarrasment

  11. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    That San Marino match has taken too much out of Robertson

  12. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Robbo really should have hit Salah there

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Would have got a lengthy suspension for that.

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Yeah, Salah’s downbeat enough.

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Robertson is a muppet. Salah would have tapped that in

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Except he would've missed

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Got a feeling it's going to be another one of those weekends when I shout "As if" a lot

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Robertson should have found Salah the Egyptian

    1. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      That Scottish defender

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Origi magic needed.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Feel sorry for big Shaq

  17. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Ref having a mare!

  18. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    I can’t bekieve Klopp is doing that in the photo of this article.

  19. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    the only positive from this result is that I capped hazard instead of these muppets.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Still waiting for Mane to get the winner

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        I’ll add that to the reverse jinx pile.

  20. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Wouldn't hit a barn door I said earlier.

    And Mane nvr scores v old Club.

    Did he listen??

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      That's why I come here, to listen to the 100% correct ramblings of you.

  21. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone with TAA and Salah waiting for a Robo assist, Mane goal for the winner?

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Mate, slow down. I can’t keep up.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Hahaha I jinxed it so yay

  22. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    And to think a few hours ago I was happy that every single one of my rivals had captain Vardy or Hazard and Salah (c) was my differential. LOL at me.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

      Timing 😀

  23. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Owning (and maybe even captaining) Salah could be the biggest differential last 5 GW's.

    ... And possibly the most expensive 2-points producing xD

  24. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Salah goal. Get in

  25. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    What a goal.

  26. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    1. Jindaljain
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 days ago

  27. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

  28. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
