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.

    Is Long the most consistent striker in the world? 2 goals last season, exact same amount this season.

        Right. So that Salah A, Mane G would’ve been nice then.
        Dislike not knowing when to cheer for your players.

    Liverpool's passing just seems slow. Like Chelsea.

    The difference is big when you compare them to City. Even Arsenal seem quicker at passing it around - they lose it more though and are not as good at winning it back.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      Yep City to win the league

  16. TAT

    Would love to see the look on Pep's face right now!

  17. tucaoneo

    You can't let Shane Long score and compete for the title.

  18. pjomara

    Southampton B team beating Southampton A team

  19. Zilla

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

      Very. First time I’ve started him and I’ve owned him two months !

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

      Never heard of him. Where did he come from?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Lol seriously?

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

          Yes

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 days ago

            If you looked at price rise sites he's was sitting on +99% for the 2 weeks before 32 so I find that casual

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

              I don't even know his first name.

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Liverpool have been shocking so far

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Just remind me are Liverpool playing in Red or Purple as the Red team are bossing this?

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

      It’s actually been proven that red is psychologically an advantage in sport.

      Changed off Salah C Mane VC to Hazard C Vardy VC 15 mins before deadline

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

    I said this before this game but I think this confirms it for me

    No pool for the run in for me.

    If pushed I’d go TAA.

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    What a match. Very exciting stuff.

  29. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone going to have a bench of Hojbjerg,Valery and Bednarek on WC?

  30. JohnnyMagrinho
      7 years, 3 days ago

      I don't know whats more infuriating.

      How bad Liverpool are playing (in particular Trent - what is he doing?) or the fact the website STILL hasn't updated yet.

      What is going on?

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

        It’s updated on the app.

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

        Eh? It’s fine

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

        Log out and back in again as the website is fine.

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

        Still issues on mobile for me. (Even with log in/out; closing/cache etc.)
