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.

    Josh King in and captained him, wish me luck.

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      Good luck mate. I have him but didn't captain. Good for you though, could pay off.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years

      GL. Wilson, King and Fraser for me but capt Haz

      Here's hoping you get a penalty at least!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        Early Saturday fixture + Hudds = double hat trick

        No brainer.

    Cinema tomorrow just before 3pm KO games. Have Vardy, King, Fraser, Wilson and Mad. Will either be v happy or v sad when I check scores at half 5

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Dumbo?

  5. Bob Sacamano
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 days ago

    To all the wildcarders out there, please stay calm and don't bring in the players likely to drop tonight like Aguero, Sterling etc. Bringing them in might prevent the price drop, let them fall and bring them in tomorrow instead, hopefully a little cheaper :).

    Thanks!

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years

      do wildcard transfers count for rises/falls?

      1. Ode
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        Nope

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          didnt think so... kinda pointless warning above so

    2. Bob Sacamano
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      Are you sure? If so, I apologize. Thought it was only free hit substitiutions that didn't affect price changes. Go nuts then!

  6. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 days ago

    So many differential captains this week!

    I'm so proud . . *tears of joy*

    1. FPLGyarados
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      My mum has Mane, my sister Salah and myself Hazard. All exciting!

  7. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 days ago

    Anyone else still not finished their WC team?

    1. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      Finished?? Why have you even started?

      1. Random Name
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        He's a Pro - he finished his gw 35 wildcard in August 2018

    2. kennethrhcp

  8. Ragabolly
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 days ago

    Only Hazard above 100% EO

    Player EO
    Hazard 126.09%
    Salah 82.95%
    Mané 74.75%
    Vardy 71.29%

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      In top 10k? Surprising!

      1. Ragabolly
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        Yes

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      I suppose almost everybody has Hazard, whereas people have just one of either Mo or Mane.

    3. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      2015 Vardy-EO is back

    4. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      This is the dream scenario as a haxard captainer who owns hazard Salah mane and Vardy

  9. Collie01

    • 8 Years

    Any merit in waiting until 35 to WC?

      7 years, 2 days ago

      The resetting of deadline usually drastically lowers the % on the price rise sites and there’ll probably hardly be any changes but just a reminder there’s no rush at all to bring in any popular targets on WC. If you wait until price changes later you may even end quite a few .1’s better off. Lots of 35 doublers close to a drop and quite a few who play this week close to a rise.

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 days ago

      All the professionals captain Hazard 😮

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        All of them? Mark, Ronke, Virg, Eggdork etc?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          I was referring to the Top 10k. Only pro there that interests me would be Virgy.

          1. Random Name
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 days ago

            Top 10k makes you a pro now?

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 days ago

              Top 5% if going by Twitter 😉

      2. Party time
          7 years, 2 days ago

          Monday Night football with Hazard is always good

      3. Dybala10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        Let's go Vardy (c).

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          high 5!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yes boy

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        are people wildcarding 34 or 35?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          Might save it for 36. Then BB in 37 because that's usually a high scoring GW.

        2. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          34 for me, bench boost 35

        3. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          37 for me.
          33 no players
          34 sorted
          FH 35
          TC 36
          WC 37

        4. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          I imagine most will WC34. Although my team looks pretty well set for 34 barring the Pool-Chelsea fixture.

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 2 days ago

            same for me although I would like a spurs player or two and maybe get some city back

        Crikey up and running quick tonight! Wildcard active!

      7. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        Is Ings the best striker for the next few weeks for 5.6 or under?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          He might be but I don't think a forward cheaper than Jimmy is worth considering.

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

            Not even Deeney?

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 days ago

              No for me with Kane (maaaaaybe Kun) Auba/Laca & Jimmy.

          2. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 days ago

            True, just planning for BB

      8. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        Auba or Kun on WC? other two are Kane and jimmy... money no issue

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 days ago

          Wait on Kun injury news I suppose, but Kun if fit

        2. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

      9. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years

      10. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 days ago

        So long Aaron WB, it's been a pleasure working with you...

        I'm down to Bennett and Robbo from GW1 now! Plus Salah and Ryan who I've sold and brought back.

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

          AWB, Salah and TAA myself. All who will be going most likely on my WC 🙁

      11. Party time
          7 years, 2 days ago

            Will the likes of Jimenez, Aguero, Sterling etc. actually drop tonight or will it be reversed closer to price changes?

            Any chance of the site giving an option of switching back to black and white mode?

            Strange how one can get accustomed to a silly thing like that all this color is hurting my eyes.
