Salah back as Klopp names full-strength side for Palace clash

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) is back in the Liverpool starting line-up for Gameweek 31+.

The Egyptian remained an unused substitute for the 0-0 draw with Everton on Sunday following a precautionary absence in a pre-Project Restart friendly.

But it’s back to full-strength for Jurgen Klopp’s men tonight as Crystal Palace come to Anfield.

He has kept faith in Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m), combining them with Salah in the front-three.

As expected, Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) is back in the Liverpool defence, joined there by Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m), Joe Gomez (£5.3m) and, of course, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m).

Crystal Palace have matched Liverpool’s 4-3-3 formation with one of their own, deploying Andros Townsend (£5.6m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m) either side of the in-form budget striker Jordan Ayew (£5.2m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, J Henderson, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey; van Aanholt, Cahill, Sakho, J Ward; McArthur, McCarthy, Kouyaté; Townsend, Zaha, Ayew.

    How many players do people have left?
    Only have KDB myself so not sure if slight green arrow is good?

      • 7 Years

      KDB and Pope tomorrow

    2. Rains of Castamere

      None. If Trent ends on 15 and Mane on 3, I'll be 74 all out.

      1. DandyDon

        74. You must have made all the decisions I should have made this week!

        1. Rains of Castamere
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Bruno captain, Richarlison, DCL. Others dug me out.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

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

    That's a pen

  4. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Double LFC defence is a mean points machine!

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wolves cheaper though

  5. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

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

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Wijnaldum wastes mane assist

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

    Wouldn’t have been overruled if it was given, one of those.

  8. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years

  9. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

  10. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Haha that's a penalty. Inconsistency is what drives everyone mad.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dry your eyes 😉

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Need fpl points lad

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Oh you have captained Mo

          I see you have sneaked ahead of me

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      True

  11. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mane looks a better player than Salah but Salah more selfish which = FPL points

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Salah is so disrespected, even by Liverpool fans.

      Liverpool's best attacker since he step foot in the club.

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Oh I think he's brilliant, but I think Mane is just superb

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He never looks like he’s trying hard, either effortlessly scoring or drifting around listless

  12. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    That was clear penalty ffs

  13. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How’s Liverpool not awarded 2 penos beyond me

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ref doesn’t have salah

  14. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    so what went wrong with Bruno?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He didnt get a penalty

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Brunos points come from spontaneous long shots and set pieces. Neither worked today

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      First blank since January. Overdue.

  15. elchilangles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    how is that not a penalty?!

  16. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Trent should at least be 9m next year... if game ends 1-0 TAA will be 2nd highest scorer over Salah.....

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah seems like a mad price for a defender but second highest scoring player in the game for 9mil a must

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If thats united Gary Cahill himslef would have put the ball on the spot

  18. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone thought of using FH in the last gameweek as an extra WC?

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

      Isn't that the popular strategy?

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t know mate, though I suppose it makes sense given no BGWs

    2. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      tempted

    3. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could be useful if you're leading and what to block your opponents heavy hitters.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could be gold if FPL Rockstar gives us some early team news before the deadline

  19. diesel001

    Roy stroking his chin trying to come up with ideas to get back into this game

        😆 hahaha

      • Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Should just shut up shop and keep it at 1-0 tbh

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pool are all over them

      Expecting 1 or 2 more

    3. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have they changed the var rules? Hit his hand, not in natural position, don't get it.

      1. Party time
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Roy Hodgson is a senior manager in England. If it were to be Daniel Farke or Eddie Howe. That would be a pen all day

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Funny how the people who were like "rules are rules", "VAR is always right etc" when Son got robbed are up in arms now over a non penalty

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Son (C) here.. it wasn’t close, he was off

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            He was off but it was close.

      3. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Welp mane captain was a disaster. Oh well. Knew it would be a tight game tbf. I've given up now I reckon.

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          You and I follow similar jinxing protocols I see

        2. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Tight yes, possession is pretty even

      4. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Wtf Salah

      5. FPL Blow-In

      8. Rainer

      9. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Is my maths right. If Pool win and City don't at Chelsea then they can win the title at New Maine Road?

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Forgot it, City will thump Chelsea.

        2. Rainer

          Dropped points tomorrow = champions.
