With a week to go before Gameweek 1, five of the eight most-owned Fantasy Premier League assets are on Liverpool’s books.

The Reds’ players were a rich source of FPL points last season and there is optimism that they can replicate that in 2019/20, although we have had to swallow price rises with a number of their key Fantasy assets.

FPL managers will be especially keen on Liverpool in the first two months of the upcoming season, with the Reds sitting second on our Season Ticker in Gameweeks 1 to 8.

Can the Reds match their performance levels of 2018/19, though?

In our latest Numbers Game series, we assess Liverpool’s key underlying statistics from last season and highlight the numbers that matter to Fantasy bosses.

    Couple of Hammers! I like Haller pick, Fornals not so much as the entire MF is a minefield.

    1. Geevious
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Haller could become this season's first bandwagon if he scored against Man City in GW1. His fix after that looks delicious. But the same thing could be said with a lot of other players though.

    Who's a better option...Tielemans or Perez?

    1. AC Pilkington
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think this is the golden question.

      I think it will be a similar scenario to Lucas vs Eriksen type points

    2. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Perez as an OOP Striker

    3. Geevious
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's a wait and see situation I think. Need to assess Perez over the first few GWs. Tielemans looked good last season but if Perez plays as a second striker and gets in the box as often as he did at NEW then he offers great value with LEI's counterattack plays.

    4. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve been pondering the same question:

      Choosing Pérez because he is a forward and he is supposed to score and help Vardy

      Tielemans is a good player, but will be shooting from outside the box and might the guy that gets lots of assists to the assist- generating zero points

      Thing is Both should have a good season. Perez will probably be streaky and Teilemans will be steady. Might really test people’s patience. Also Pérez might make way for Barnes to get minutes and that will freak people out

    5. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you see Perez as 2nd striker it's him, if not t'other.

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Perez easily imo. He scored 12 goals last season for Newcastle...

  3. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Robertson or Salah who is better value?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Robertson.

    2. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Salah- due to captain effect.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely? The best way of doing this is to assess the cap effect and that's not easy. I rate Mo better because even if you take Mo as being capped half, in some iffy games too, his value beats Robbo due to the 'more cash buys this level of heft' effect. Hit the calculator, you'll soon see what I mean.

  4. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think is wiser for my final 7.5m option, I own King already:

    A) Fraser then GW3 maybe get Pusilic

    B) Lucas then GW2 maybe get Pusilic

    1. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A between those two choices

    2. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like a good plan.

      1) gives you time to evaluate Pulisic
      2) maybe Fraser is too awesome to transfer
      3) maybe Lucas can score you 3 goals before Son gets eligible

      If Pulisic takes off early, all the Yanks will get nationalistic and raise the price to 8.0M in one weekend, so watch out

  5. lugs

    A or B

    Ryan
    Robbo, KWP, AMN
    Salah, Pepe, Rich, Trossard
    Kane, Jimmy, Haller

    fodder bench

    Ryan,
    Robbo, Digne, AMN
    Salah, Rich, Bilva, Perez
    Auba, Jimmy, Haller

    fodder bench

  6. Red Viper
    • 14 Years

    A) Coleman+Robbo or
    B) Digne+VVD
    ?

    1. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Digne+Robbo

      Coleman will not be a clean sheet machine- they lost Zouma and Gueye in Goodison. They will have a Bush Leaguer like mason Holgate filling those spots.

  7. KanteTouchThis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts appreciated on revised draft

    Pope (Button)
    Taa - VVD - Walker - Dunk (Rico/Lundstram)
    Salah - Sterling - Perez - Barkley (Dend)
    Kane - Murray (Greenwood)

    0.5 ITB. Downgrading Walker - Zinc gives me 1.0 to upgrade elsewhere. Any suggestions? Pulisic worth a punt?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just watched extended highlights Brightons latest friendly and wasn’t too impressed. I’d look for alternative to Murray to a 6.5m.

      1. KanteTouchThis
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Won't be too hard to do that. Jota or King springs to mind.

  8. Gabbiadini
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Digne and Barkley
    or
    Coleman and Perez

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      or Perez and Barkley and 3 defenders?

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

  9. PepSala
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley is my only risk but I believe his price is worth the gamble. Thoughts?

    Heaton
    Robbo VVD Digne
    Salah Sterling Siggy Perez Barkley
    Wilson Jota

    1. Bad Kompany

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Unlikely to be on penalties.

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who do you think will be on pens?

        Barkley, Jorginho, and Willian are all good options

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          ITK says it's Willian.

          1. Bad Kompany
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers! Will Willian be ready in time for gw 1?

  11. mpalmercity76
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ok.

    Leno or Ryan
    Zaha or Fraser
    Kane or Aubameyang

    Thoughts please.

    Then I am ready for next Friday night.

    1. JohnBlack

    1. mpalmercity76
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ok.

      If I have Fraser that means I can have Leno.

      I really like the idea of Zaha but it seems everyone is loving Ryan Fraser.

    Reply fail-meant for above

  14. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which one?
    A) TAA + Kiko
    B) VVD + Zouma

    Which one? Can't find any better 4.5 and 5
    Heard rudiger is back at training, so may decrease zouma chances

  15. mirza88

    Hope you guys can give me your thoughts on my team, latest (but I know won't be last) draft I've spent less on defense and tried to spread it. The plan is to save a few mil and change players in GW2 & 3. Current team for GW1 would be:

    Alisson (Ryan)
    Wan-Bissaka - Walker-Peters - Lundstram - (Dunk - Targett)
    Fraser - Sterling - Lucas Moura - Pulisic - (Barkley)
    Kane - Origi - Calvert-Lewin

    3 mil in the bank. The plan is in GW2 sell Origi and get Pukki (extra 1 mil needed) and in GW3 sell Lucas and get Son (extra 2 mil needed).
    Would love to have Aguero but can't really fit him. I think Chelsea might surprise us and if they do well in the first few weeks the values of the players should rise. Any suggestions?

    1. noquarternt

      Where to start?

      1. mirza88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Total mess of a team? lol

    2. Botman
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      3 m in the bank seems excessive. My tip would be to put as much money in your starting 11 as possible. If you're planning future transfers, rather than save money in your team, look to save a transfer in gw2 and allow yourself to make 2-3 changes in gw3 for free or -4.

  16. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Stones or zinchenko? Mendy back soon?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Zinch. Mendy won’t feature in first four and will then be eased in imo

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        what about if cancelo starts?

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Don’t have him yet. If they get him I’ll probably just get laporte

    2. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Head case Mendy will be tweeting about FA cup matches only.

      Defensively, Zinchenko is better and with Rodri - you have a clean sheet machine at MCI

  17. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which to start with?

    A. Martial
    B. Pulisic/Barkley
    C. Perez
    D. Moura

    Likely to do Fraser to a Chelsea/United mid in gw 3.

    1. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley at 6.0 deserves a place I think.

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers! Are you worried about mount? Do you know if lampard rotated often at derby

    2. JohnBlack
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C

      1. Bad Kompany

    3. Capocannonieri

      Early movers on Chelsea will either be rewarded or punished

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Think wait and see might be better approach as their first 2 fixtures aren’t easy

        1. Pieterke30
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Leicester’s first two fixtures arent easy either are they?

          1. Bad Kompany
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            No although I don’t think Chelsea Leicester wolves or United will be that bad for attackers. United Chelsea and Leicester defenses will be exposed at times and wolves could struggle with Europa fatigue

  18. Gabbiadini
    • 9 Years

    King, KDB and KWP

    2. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      No to Zaha...KWP is waste at 6.0....KBD could be genius

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 9 Years

        KWP is 5.0

    Who is better, Siggy or Fraser?

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

      Fraser even If they were the same price

  20. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Whos the best placeholder for Son?
    A) KDB
    B) Pepe
    C) Laca and use 2 Fts

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Will Pepe start gw 1? If so I’m leaning toward him

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If he plays against Barcelona tomorrow night I think he will start GW1

    2. Andy_Social

      Clearly KdB known and nailed.

        Kyle Walker Peters (spurs rb)

        1. Ruinenlust

          Nailed?

    2. Botman

      I like it. Maybe Montoya to a 4m, open up .5m ?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A 4.5 keeper will get 150, you have 3 choices to save 1.5m.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I want to maintain ederson to cover city cs, any other?

        1. Gabbiadini
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I like Ederson as city CS option also. Not sure Zinchenko is that nailed

          1. Chelsea91
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            No i think he will be roration risk, since now laporte also injured , waiting for community shield to get clear picture

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          This is a bad argument, but one that is oft made. Keepers are mental and FPL doesn't understand them.

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Agree with netley. Wouldn’t want 3 strikers under 7

      1. Chelsea91
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I want to go for wilson, so who is better option for 6.0 mid? I was planning to move fraser to pulisic when he is on form

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I’d do ederson to 4.5 but Fraser to Barkley also an good option. Then upgrade jota or deu to him

          1. Chelsea91
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I not to double up bournemoth, either fraser or wilson

    3. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's an excellent starting lineup. I'd just question the front line - Wesley and Deu in particular. I'd prefer Wood and King.
      If you are looking for an extra 0.5 or 1m to upgrade, you could switch a Liv defender to VVD or Digne to Coleman.
      But if you don't change anything it's still very nice.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I would love to change deu to wilson but 6.0 barkley is a risk thats what i am thinking on. Wesley on penalty too mate

  25. Gabbiadini
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If Kean is a 7.0 is he a better option than the likes of Zaha, Siggy, Fraser?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's 19 mate, relax.

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He will maybe make Siggy a better option but a wait and watch for me even at 7

      2. Gabbiadini
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        yes or no question

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          😆 I think I was clear?

    2. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      For me he is better because everton currently having a problem in striker, so he will outscore them

  26. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Close to a final draft. Pepe is a placeholder for Son, what do you think of it lads?

    Heaton
    TAA VVD Zinchenko Coleman
    Salah Sterling Pepe Perez McGinn
    Wilson

    Button Dendo lundstrum Greenwood

    Feedback Appreciated 🙂

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like it. Like the Pepe punt although I prefer only two mids over 9 and then using the extra funds to upgrade mcginn and Coleman

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think you're underestimating Jota of Wolves and overestimating Pepe right now. This is what WC is for, you're jumping the gun.

      1. Ruinenlust
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Jota has terrible fixtures

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          First 3 games looks fine to me

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Have you seen his record, since v che? Go look bud, don't give me this bs 😆

          Jota loves terrible fixtures - Jota rides the top 6 like a wild horse

    3. Chelsea91
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Zinc rotation risk

      There is error here -6 midfielders and 2 strikers in this squad

    Pick one if they were the same price:

    A) Siggy
    B) Fraser

    Leaning towards Fraser but Siggy being on pens is huge

      Look, everyone's dumping on Siggy now, they need the half, be honest bud.

      Get fraser and digne in the defend, he is on set piece too, fraser also in set piece

    So who is going to be first choice, Ben Davies or Danny Rose?

    Ben Davies with zero pre season minutes, any reason?

      Bavies has become more a LCB in a 3, so if nobody wants Rose he stays, simple as.

      They need Sessegnon - expect him to come in the next few days as Rose moves out.

    Feedback on this crew?

    Pope
    Robertson VVD Walker Digne
    Salah Sterling KDB Barkley
    Jota Wood

    Button Dendoncker Lundstrum Greenwood

      Very good but weak bench. After a couple of weeks you might find if Barkley and Jota are rested/rotated you only have one sub to step up.

    I have settled for a 6MM striker. I thought Ings would be the best pick but I see Adams is quite popular on here. Can anyone fill me in?

    1. Holmes

      Dont really like any 6m forward to be honest, switch formation and go for Townsend/Trossard?

      Around 6m striker, I would just take a punt on Origi if Mane is not going to play in GW1 but thats transfer waiting to happen.

      Wesley mate

      Personally, I have no faith in strikers under 6.5. Either go 6.5 or get a 4.5 benchie and beef up your midfield.

      Injury record obvs, easy switch.
