Jurgen Klopp has finally delivered on his promise to shuffle the Liverpool side, and it has big implications for Fantasy managers.

Sadio Mané (£12.4m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) are the two players to suffer from that policy in Gameweek 34+ with each of them relegated to the bench for the trip to Brighton.

Neco Williams (£4.0m) gets his first Premier League start but rather than replace Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) on the right-hand side, he has been selected on the left in place of Robertson.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.1m) is the man to come in for Mané, offered a place in the front-three, further forward than his usual central midfield berth.

Outside of those changes, Liverpool as largely as expected, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) in the line-up, as well as Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Joe Gomez (£5.3m).

There is considerably less interest in the Brighton side chosen by Graham Potter, which looks tailor-made to try and cause Liverpool some problems.

Usually a fan of three conservative midfielders, the Seagulls’ boss has decided to support Neal Maupay (£5.7m) with an attacking trio of Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m), Pascal Groß (£6.2m) and Leandro Trossard (£5.8m).

Meanwhile, it is worth noting that Tariq Lamptey (£4.0m) is starting to make himself immune from tinker-man Potter’s rotation policy, making his fourth successive start against Liverpool.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Lamptey; D Stephens, Pröpper; Mac Allister, Groß, Trossard; Maupay.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; N Williams, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; J Henderson, Keïta, Wijnaldum; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Firmino, Salah.

    3. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Doherty, yes. Pope on the bench - played Foster at home to NOR instead. I hate having 2 playing keepers!

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Its the worst...

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Doherty, Boly, Jimenez. And benched Henderson

    5. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

  11. Team Cruel

  12. JustPark
    • 10 Years

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years

    2. gers23
      • 14 Years

  13. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Egan 1st sub on bench. Hopefully one of Martial, Rashford, Greenwood don't play 🙁

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

      Hoping for a Rashford badly stubbed toe myself

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

      Don't get your hopes up

  14. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Pope not getting any baps?!?? Whaaat shits rigged

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

      Greedy boy

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

        Believe me sweety I got enough feed the needy

    2. michaelington
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Played well too, shame, probably had our share already

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

        West Ham should have been given a penalty

  15. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Got Foden in for a hit. Was so so so unlucky on another day he gets atleast 1 goal. Was the right move even if DCL scores who I would have played instead of taking the hit. One of those things I guess!

  16. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Eggaaannnnn

  17. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    any changes you’d suggest?

    Allison
    TAA - Doherty - AWB
    KDB - Mahrez - Foden - Martial - Bruno
    Jimmy - Kane

    Martinez - Saiss - CTaylor - Nketiah

    2 FTs
    0 itb

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

    Of course rival has stevens coming on for laporte, course he does.

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

      My rival has Egan. And I have double Wolves defence. Real deal.

  19. Better off with a pin and a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I don't normally bother posting during matches on here, but that was just SO frustrating. 18 points on the bench already this week - including Pope - I really should know better! Doherty clean sheet gone at the end. Pah!

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Well, that’s ridiculously disappointing with KDB(c) Mahrez Doherty and Jiménez, gotta be honest. 🙁

    & Sterling owners can’t deny, you’ve lucked out massively there.

    1. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Seriously. I had all of them PLUS Foden. Foden should have had a hattrick, unbelievable.

    2. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I've got Sterling and still don't feel that lucky.

    3. Shuko
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Probably didn't say that last week when Sterling got 1 point. 😉

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

      I'm not disappointed with KDB © Mahrez Ederson Doherty

      Hopefully Kane Greenwood Mane bring home the bacon

    5. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep. + Foden

    6. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not that lucky, he probably wouldve scored a hat trick had he started

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

    I need Mane to come on or another player from my team to miss out altogether

    Nketiah first bench
    Taylor second

    Can't take -2 & leave 12 on the bench 😀

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Taylor first on bench. Need one of AWB, Rash, Bruno or Kane to miss.

  22. FPL Theorist
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone beating my 27 bench points?

    1. Shuko
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      -2

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

      Lol
      M sorry but you have to laugh man

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

      I have a total of -2 on my bench

  23. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    If Salah plays full game today we will probably see him benched Vs burnley

  24. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is Egan looking a better option than Stevens? Have both and keep starting the the wrong player

  25. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Brutal 3GWs. 4 to go then I can quit for good 😀

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

      Forever ?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Tempted to pack it in for good. Might just take a year off and see how much I miss it. Feel like I’m wasting too much of my time on it and it’s getting me down tbh

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

          Fine bro
          You're a good poster
          So I was concerned

          Good luck whatever you do !

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers matey! Will see how the season ends and how I feel after. Very addictive game so it’ll be hard to let go haha. Perhaps I just need to take it a little less serious. Thanks anyways 🙂

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      You’ll be back

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Possibly. Might just take a year off. Getting me down too much and wasting too much of my spare time. Very addictive though so might be hard to stop like you say

  26. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Egan and Norwood on my bench, Saiss and Doherty in my starting 11.

    Cannot actually believe it.

  27. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Henderson on for a bap. Nice.

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

      Glad he's matched Pope who is annoying as hell

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yup

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

    Wolves not even going to get europa at this rate. Terrible

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Over achieved long enough imo

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

    Raheem 10pts in 25 mins, you beauty

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

      Tired legs ...
      If Kevin 😀

  30. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I had double Wolves defence.
    Rival played Laporte and have Egan first on the bench.
    This is just luck. Nothing else.
