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.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Not any longer. Glad I ditched Mane.

    The sound of all the Pool-less teams getting ripped up!

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep 🙂

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Pool-less teams? Everyone has taa. After what happened at Leicester surely no one got rid?

  7. Fudgy

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mental

    2. Hybrid.power

        5 years, 9 months ago

        Honestly wish we could mute users. Would make things more pleasant.

      Chucky 2.0

  8. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years

  9. sfsfsfe
    • 8 Years

    Bottomed
    I went for the WC this gw and my plan is to use my free hit next gw and drop Salah, Taa and Kdb during their clash. Thoughts on this? Probably gonna load up on Chelsea, Man U, Spurs wolves and Auba on my FH with their fixtures looking as tasty as ever. Solid plan?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Owning Auba is not solid

    2. pablo discobar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Thought about it, but like the look of free hit gw 38. Tough one

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      its all just guesswork mate, do what you think

  10. elchilangles
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Fabinho for 3 baps???

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No

      1. elchilangles
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        you sure?

  11. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Not doing too bad, even with the Bruno Captain fail

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Same. Set to drop about 2.5k so far. Thought it would be far worse but need Mane to remain quiet

  12. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Salah (c) let's gooooo

    Hopefully more in the 2nd half. Never in doubt 😎

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Hope not

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Should get a few chances. Don't see him getting subbed either tbh

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Can’t see him playing 90 tbh

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Plenty of doubters on ere

    3. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Same here friend! out of all my captain misses this season, this GW was hardest to choose (son,bruno,jimmy,rashford,salah) and finally instinct came good for once 😀

  13. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Need to get Salah back

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Nah

  14. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I was far happier when there was no fantasy football.

    1. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      yup, months waiting for it to come back to then frustrated as hell once its back!!!

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      So was I, literally everything I've done this season has gone wrong

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Will be hard for City to catch Liverpool now.

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Nah we've got this

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Was it really any easier before this game?

  16. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    The REAL question is: can Salah stay in the BPs?

    History is not kind on that one

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not unless he scores a second

  17. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    That salah goal put me from 70k to 100k as a non owner...

  18. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    FFS this season just keeps on giving, red arrow on a wildcard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      This

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lol
      You have to laugh mate
      Can't get grip atm

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        It's crazy mate, how can bad luck continue for a whole year?

  19. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Fingers crossed for a mane goal second half!

  20. Amey
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    OR doubled ..
    Been a pathetic GW so far

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Sameishh

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Unlucky mate

      Take it you didn’t go Martial then - thought you were all set.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I was ...
        Changed mind
        Now watch auba go wild ...

        I am starting to get annoyed now ...

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Halved here

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Great

    4. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Came into this restart at 118k, current live rank is showing 27k!

      Hopefully more to come in this game as TAA and salah(c)!

      That said, no players playing tomorrow.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Great

  21. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    So many teams just going through the motions and not even bothered about trying to put an effort in.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      In Palace’s defence, their best attacking player has gone off injured and they have Hennessy in goal. What can they do?

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Not a lot really - it’s a really really thin squad. Look at the bench and see how many names you know

  22. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Too kneejerk to complete this?

    Son > Martial?

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes it’s very knee jerk

      That was martial first ever United hattrick

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Kind of what I was thinking, but needed a sanity check, I think.

  23. james 101
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Great week so far. Despite Bruno captain nightmare I’m on over 80 pts

    Mentioning it now before TAA and salah get joint red cards

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Must be nice

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Ha. It’s just fpl and isn’t close to last weeks total, but it’s better than some weeks have been!

    2. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Red cards for bowyer/dier style fisticuffs.. would not be good!

  24. thehodge
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Happy to have TAA and Salah but Bruno (C) is a downer. Reckon it’s at the stage where a few pints are needed to differentiate from the norm.

  25. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How's Mane's performance been, look like scoring?

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He looks electric - best player on the pitch but no real chances

      Whereas Salah has looked way off the pace but scored

  26. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Salah was just as much offside as Son, LiVARpool too blatant

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

    2. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Are you feeling ok today?

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      😀

  27. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    One more Salah goal and its back to back fpl 100s

    1. FPLGyarados
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Oh I think I'd be the same. Come on Salah!

  28. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Get in Mo! Captain points. Here’s to a few more hopefully. Would cheer the TAA points but everyone owns him now right

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      TAA is ‘only’ 85% EO in top 10k

  29. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Pogba + Mane instead of Salah+ Martial.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I went the latter

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Oooofff!!!! And I thought I made terrible decisions!

      1. Belli2007
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        ouch

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

      That's the year in a nutshell for me. Two reasonable choices, picked the wrong one.
      I have had 2 good weeks since the restart though.

  30. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Why o why did go with Bruno with my C 🙁 With Salah or Martial I could have wrapped up my ML tonight...

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why complain? Be happy that you got salah/martial points, also you were never really gonna pick martial as capt, so cant be annoyed about it!

      1. Railwayman
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        For Martial OK (even he is the Utd striker and not Rashford at the moment9 but Salah ??? Home with Palace, what was I thinking about...
