Mané returns to Liverpool front-three as Moyes starts Ngakia at right-back

Jurgen Klopp has named a routine Liverpool side to face West Ham in the final match of Gameweek 27.

Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) comes into the Monday night encounter as the most-captained player and starts in his traditional berth on the right flank of the Reds’ front-three.

He is joined in the strike force by Roberto Firmino (£9.7m) and Sadio Mané (£12.3m), who returns to the team for a first league start since the first match of Double Gameweek 24.

The Senegalese international may enjoy his evening against West Ham as David Moyes has taken the bold move of starting young defender Jeremy Ngakia (£4.0m) at right-back instead of the more experienced Pablo Zabaleta (£4.2m).

His performance will be of particular interest to Fantasy managers as the task of marking Mané is a big one. A poor night could mean big things for the £12.3m man, but if Ngakia impresses enough to hold onto his place, he could become an interesting asset considering his £4.0m price.

Another interesting decision sees Sebastien Haller (£6.8m) left on the bench alongside Manuel Lanzini (£6.2m), Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m) to enable a front-three of attacking midfielders.

Moyes has opted to play  Michail Antonio (£6.9m) through the middle of the strike-force, flanked by Felipe Anderson (£6.6m) and Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Keita, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Diop; Ngakia; Rice, Noble, Soucek; Antonio, Anderson, Snodgrass.

    Top 10k EO for Liverpool:

    Alisson (5%)
    TAA (90%) Gomez (12%) VVD (26%) Robertson (28%)
    Fabinho (0%) Wijnaldum (0%) Keita (0%)
    Salah (175%) Firmino (18%) Mane (26%)

    With Salah (C), Mane and Trent, I am cheering for Salah, Mane and West Ham goals!!

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah(c) super haul could be good for those aiming for top 10k place.

  8. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Think I'd take 4-3 West Ham with Salah scoring all of Liverpool's three, all assisted by Robbo 😀

    1. lespaul
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait.... you want your players to score points?? Maverick

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No I want West Ham to turn over Liverpool whilst they still score points (I don't want to get relegated, lol!).

    Are people getting rid of De Bruyne?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Most assists in Europe's top 5 leagues. Keep and bench this week.

      1. ArseneKnows
        • 7 Years

        Cheers!

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not me, slim pickings in midfield.

    3. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Firmly on bench

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      2 blanks in the next 5.

      3 tricky fixtures.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years

        Dgw in between

        1. Ribus

          When is the dgw?

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years

          DGW29 only social media talk at this point.

    5. beric
      • 12 Years

      Hes going nowhere

    6. Chasing Waves
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one. Even with double theyre not easy games and got eyes on other prizes. May be useful to wait as late as poss in the week before making this move.

  15. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    12% of Salah owners in the Top10k didn't captain him.

    1. Conik
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mane = more variance = more fun. Simplez

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        31% of Mane owners captained him.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Waiting until next week for that

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fair play to them

      You do need to take a risk or 2 to get that higher overall rank

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      My mini league leader does maverick things like captaining the likes of Azpilicueta or Grealish over Salah everyweek.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He’s not a rival then

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          He is the leader of the mini league...

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          not even close as I'm 100 points behind him.

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Damn over 90% owners in top 10k.

      Miss Salah vs Mane camp,Salah helped a lot to climb rankings now its like you dont own him even as (C)

  17. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez & Grealish to Barnes & Fernandez sounds good, No?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why are people so certain Barnes is nailed on? Am I missing something?

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      sexy. I did the former, am holding J-Greazy for the double GW as i could make up an XI in the blank

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      More than likely.

  20. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which is the best Leicester defender to own please? I’m looking to sell Lundstram and have plenty in the bank.

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pereira

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Perriera

    3. Chasing Waves

      Chilwell

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Evans budget. Pereira premium.

  21. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else more excited for a Mane blank than a Salah haul? 🙂

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Need both.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I want both to blank & Taa haul 😀

    3. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…

      I’m excited for all my players hauling and all the players I don’t blanking

    4. The 12th Man

      Liverpool to blow the league from this position would be better! :0)

          I’ve won the Prem 20 times already. I don’t need to dream

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years

            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            You've won nothing. Man Utd have won plenty. What is it with football fans and the belief they somehow share the glory?

    2. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Exactly how the rest of this season has gone, NAAAWT!

    3. The 12th Man

  23. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha worth a punt?
    No other sexy options in that price bracket

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha like one of those ladies that look smashing from behind until they turn around.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. Barnes or McNiel are better options.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Barnes maybe. McNeil does not tempt me.

  24. Chasing Waves
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Big game this from a fpl perspective. Good Luck all, genuinely.

    1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
