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.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      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.

    Feeling very confident with my Vardy (c) Hazard (vc) rn 😀

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Other way round for me.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        still good chance of returns if not better

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          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
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Gone for exactly this.

    3. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Had Mane as my Vice but captained Vardy.

        Thank god for that.

        1. DR0GBA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          good luck, hopefully Vardy starts

      Gutted again! Constant misery this season haha

    8. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Wait, people are selling an inform Salah? 😮

      1. some witty pun
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

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

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Salah bps ??

      3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Far from inform

    9. Jealous Viper
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Any bonus for Salah?

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Doubt it

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Will get 3

    10. Cash'nBurn

    12. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. columbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Bit harsh!

    13. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      20 points from 4 played. I will take that.

    14. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      He do YC good for Salah

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        *Hendo

    15. HaffNanner
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

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

    16. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 28 days ago

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

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          Was a decent goal by Salah tbf.

          1. JohnnyMagrinho
              7 years, 28 days ago

              Is that double sarcasm?

          2. XabiAlonso
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Lol

        2. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

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

          This is gonna be an odd GW

        3. Gudjohnsen
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

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

        4. rnrd
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 28 days 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
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Salah

          2. Richd
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Salah. As the second goal won it

            1. Richd
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 28 days 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
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 28 days ago

                Thanks for the info !

              2. FPL.team
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 28 days ago

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

            2. Napster03
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 28 days ago

              Does this means Salah will have bonus points?

          3. Garlana
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Salah did 2-1 is the winning goal.

          4. FPL.team
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Salah

              Cardiff, not being completely serious but a hat-trick could be on the cards

        7. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          Mane(c) the big losers there, especially with the late YC.

          1. HonestBlatter
            • 15 Years
