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.

      Oh bobby bobby

      1. Rainer

        Great pick!

        1. Richd
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not the most glamorous pick but there’s something satisfying about his scores

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Brilliant with BPS too, unlike Mo & Mane. 5 point assist, can't begrudge it.

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bobby hold 2 please

    4. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah could still get an assist for McArthur's pass to Eriksen, no?

    5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'll take them 22 bonus points for Salah

      At the ' mo'
      Hojbjerg and Henderson are on 1 point each fffix

  5. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years

    A below-average parting gift from the donkey. Now get out of my team

  6. The Bandit

    I missed the offending post earlier but Patch is a scummy poster who should have been banned permanently ages ago.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What happened this time WR

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        As I said, I missed it but he seems to have excelled himself

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed. Well said WR. Hopefully don’t see him on here again

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Any info on what was mentioned

    3. Rotation's Alter Ego

      We have and will deal with it, no need to talk further now - not something worth lingering on 🙂

      On an unrelated - how are you doing WR?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        FPL or health? Treading water in FPL, 5 weeks into 24 of chemo but mostly ok thanks 🙂

        For the benefit of this site I hope to never see him again. To be honest he should’ve been binned months ago

        1. LǝgleSs e|even
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          What happened pat

  7. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Took double hits to bring in 3 Liverpool players and got burned. The season that keeps on giving I guess.

  8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    To give people idea of the scores the top 1k predicted average is 10 points

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Where do you get top 1k stats?

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

        It is on the free version of 'gameweek live' after you log on

        It is very accurate.

    2. Pat Bonner

      7.5 top 10 average on live fpl

  9. brianutd-why always we? 20

    Mane captain failed

  10. Numb
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah captainers happy?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lol

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A goal's a goal

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Agreed mate
          But nobody will be happy

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard lurking....

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This. Let's go capt hazard

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I took C off him for Hazard and not unhappy

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You can bet your shirt on it

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hehe

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not happy, but better than a blank. Only hazard can hurt now but historically that derby is very low scoring. Would switch to Vardy if I could

    6. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Relieved more so

    7. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Always happy when my captain scores. I'll take it.

    8. Party time
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He is my vice just incase Hazard has stomach upset

    9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      100%

    10. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      ask on monday

    11. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      as the game turned i would say pretty ok in the end, 12 points is 12 points. Better than blank and better than Mané and a lot have double Pool def.

  11. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah winning goal is gonna be the same score Kepa gets 😉

  12. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah, Mane, Robertson, no, hits ... red arrow.

    How is that even possible

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lots of Bednarek owners 🙁

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Which site ??

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Live FPL

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          It's showing nothing to me

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah and Mane captainers around you?

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably TAA's assist.

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Shane Long effect 😉

    6. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sign of a good rank

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It’s like there is a force field stopping me getting into top 1k

    7. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have the same 3 and a small green

    8. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mathematics mate

    9. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      me too, not sure how that could work?

  13. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gwg pts should take Salah to 2 at least, no?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. He loses the ball too much.

    2. MINUS FOUR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Massive deductions still to come. There will be loads of them.

    3. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rainer is pretty good at this

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You mean he can read numbers from the Members area? 😉

  14. windowview
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is it worth losing one of Salah or Hazard next week so I can get Eriksen?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Loose Salah pls. Do yourself a favor.

  15. aborg
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I’m ok with Salah’s 6 points as a non-owner. I’m happy he scored and that Liverpool won.
    Had Mané but he looked tired in the second half. Hope that Vardy(c) does the business for me now !

    1. windowview
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ditto, Vardy captain here too

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      People will keep him

  16. MINUS FOUR
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    6 points still feels like a captain fail. It's better than 2 of course, but it's pretty underwhelming when he gets the winning goal. He put one chance on a platter for Mane who missed the header, and he could've had a tap in from Robertson who put in a terrible cross. I don't know, just a bit 'meh' with Haz still to play and huge EO.

  17. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I'll take that 6 points. First stage of the 8 point hit pays off. Vardy & Tielemans to come.

  18. GinjaWhinja
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who's enabling their WC tonight?

    (FPL not downstairs lavatories).

    1. windowview
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Tempted but with 2 FTS it feels like a waste

    2. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah already activated. Lots of price rises and drops so beware.

      Avoid city spurs and wolves assets as they can drop tonight

      Get JWP Leno in just in case. Maybe CHO

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Son and Kane are top of transfers in though?

        1. Richd
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Son close to a drop

    3. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just activated. Trying to get in early risers like Leno, JWP at least.

    4. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah. What is the wc template?

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah motm 😆

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

      Lol. Can't be serious.

    2. MINUS FOUR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salt in the wound.

  20. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mane and Robertson combine for 2 points. Pathetic.

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good 1 week sample there.

  21. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    9 from 3

    small green but feeling annoyed!

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It’ll be ok. There’s people in my ML with 4 from 3

  22. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ah well, that was annoying.

    Started off sooo well, but fatigue and exhaustion caught up with us, schoolboy defending for Salah's goal.

    Proud of the team we fought HARD.

    We march on. Still hurts, but we march on.

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Still hurts? It's literally been 15 mins...

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You were so confident

  23. Ode
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Captained Salah every gw when Mane hauled, first time captaining Mane instead of him. Typical 😀

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Let me know who you are captaining next week please.

  24. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah MOTM. Baps needs an overhaul.. should go back to man in the stands system

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      We all play by the same rules.

      Salah, Mane are bad for baps

      Hazard, Jiminez, Firmino are good for baps.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely it’s a level playing field regardless, however, I think there are better alternatives. Salah won Liverpool that match.. something that stats alone can’t convey

        1. Richd
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I find it’s an extra dimension.

          Man in the stand had flaws too. They favoured players with long hair !

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Thought you were joking at first, did you actually think salah was motm

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Who deserved it more? I think it’s an obvious decision. Remove your FPL tinted glasses

            1. Pat Bonner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Firmino and also Henderson did more in 30mins. Nothing to do with fpl, I watched the game and thought salah looked poor

              1. IRBOX ⚽
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                He was poor for the majority no question, however, his brilliant effort won them the match. That’s the game changer - the crucial play.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      😆

      Stevie Wonder doesn't even give that, joke from Sky.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No thanks that was horrendous. Every week Lampard 3pts

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes I remember those days 😎

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Barry Ferguson and Charlie Adam were also on 3bps every week

        1. Warbling Wendy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Barry Baps Ferguson. The myth, the legend, the beast.

    4. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely not deserved though

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        How? He won them the game with a brilliant solo run and strike? Clear man of the match

    5. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah still wouldn't get motm

    6. MINUS FOUR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Can't believe you thought he was getting bonus points earlier. The system is a joke. I went from celebrating to realising I was going to lose any chance at bonus points (plus the -2 for YC in the first place) the second he started taking his shirt off. It totally ruined the feeling of Salah finally scoring. One Hazard assist and he's outscoring Mo.

          That's what I meant. Once he did, I never looked at the baps again.

        The thing is though, stats alone can’t factor in the importance of such a goal. Liverpool needed that in the context of the match and the title race. Clear man of the match imo even without owner bias

    As an owner with Vardy (c) and Salah (vc) I’m happy with that. Was worried about Mané beforehand not going to lie.

    Wildcarders...

    Salah in?

    Or Salah out?

    5. diesel001

      Out. Son, Sterling, Kane, Rashford, Jimenez all better options and takes his budget.

      decided earlier that I'd rather have him against Cardiff than a possible 1-game-DGW for Sterling

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        he then has Hudd at home obviously

    7. FPL Forward Thinker

    Triple Spurs?

    Ederson,Ryan
    TAA,Laporte, Duffy,Kolasinac,Valery
    Mane, Sterling,Son,Erikson,Hojberg

  28. Cruz88

    Thinking early for next week - Pogba and Hig to Kane and Jota/Doucoure worth it? Planning ahead for 35..

    1. Cruz88
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rest of team is

      Leno (Boruc)
      Luiz WanB TAA Digne (Simpson)
      Pogba Salah Mane Almiron Fraser
      Hig Jimi Vardy

    2. Kiwivillan

      Pogba been bad but do I sell before at home to West Ham?

      1. Cruz88
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If he's playing deeper then sure, must be better options out there

      2. Cruz88
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe I keep Pogba for now and do Hig and Luiz to Kane and Valery

        if you make the same rationale for Pogba as you did for Richarlison you know the answer to that one-)

  29. Tsparkes10

    Anyone else with King, Wilson and Fraser? Feeling a large total from them 3. Hopefully 20

    1. Rash
      • 9 Years

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Oh didn’t factor in hits. My bad.

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah, Robbo / TAA, Mane minus deductions for hits

    5. Dave Bauer
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah Mane Robbo - 8
      Mane (c) - 9
      Salah (c) - 14

      Makes sense.

    6. gilean
      • 9 Years

      9.3 the top 10k average

    7. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Everyone has 3 players.

      Minimum of 4 if stuck with VVD, Robbo & Mane. Only up from there.

      Maybe a Saint point thrown in too.
