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.

    Why the hell would Mane be benched ffs

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      becuase Salah scores better without Mane and the fpl gods owe my some points?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

      Game is a joke

        Lol cmon man

  4. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Can BHA pls score one goal 😐

  5. yer old da
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    700 points these past three seasons (so far), including top points scorer in each of the last two, and people sell before Brighton away. The mind boggles.

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Pool hadn't scored an away goal in a hot minute though.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      There's a lot of good midfield options out there atm. He's effectively just been gifted 11 points there by Brighton. Can't account for that esp as Brighton been extremely solid of late. One of those things.

  6. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Top 10k target back on track 😀 Cmon You sweet Mo,grab some more

  7. The Mighty Hippo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Note to self: stop making changes and taking hits.

  8. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Neco Williams looks really good.

  9. FPL_Devil
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Need Rashford captaincy haul. Disaster of a Gameweek so far. 27 pts, 5 left and Egan first bench. Anyone worse?

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Salah hattie just arriving 1 GW late.

  11. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Did anyone watch the West Ham game? How did Antonio & Soucek looked?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Look**

    2. BoleynWin
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Antonio missed a one v one, hit the post when should have scored. Looked lovely but the service was so poor, would keep for Norwich at least. Souceks points have been a freak the last fortnight, he wasn’t any threat today whatsoever.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Cheers mate! I heard Soucek took 6 shots with 2 on target?

  12. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Handing over payment to my smug man utd mate this year after winning last 3 seasons is going to be very painful.

    £20 in 50p instalments is ok though isn't it?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      lol brilliant

  13. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Salah played 90 minutes against Villa 3 days ago and was rubbish, swings and roundabouts innit.

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      And still returned in that game. FPL God! 🙂

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Ridiculous. And Mane earlier rest but benched, makes zero sense

      1. beric
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Working out pretty well for liverpool though ey

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 18 days ago

          Probably more BHA are crap. Wish Mane was in on this ...

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      He is only rubbish because you obviously do not have him.

      His FPL record speaks for itself.

      FPLKING

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        I said that he *was* rubbish, not that he *is* rubbish. I think he only had 1 shot in the box vs Villa, which was off target.

  14. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Salah saving my GW

  15. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    No more for Salah please man.

    Trent goal and even Mane off the bench would be welcomed

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      totally concur

  16. WVA

    End of my season tonight, was dreadful all along and no fun.

    1. yer old da
      • 16 Years

      But apart from that?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years

      When the fun stops, Stop.

  17. Rainer

    ‘Only’ 50% EO 🙂

    1. beric

      Lovely

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      should have captained him instead of following the herd...

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Mad that Liverpool have the two best young RBs in the Prem.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Pity Neco isn't a LB. Would've sorted that issue. I'm not content with just Robbo and tbh VVD hides a lot of Robbo flaws.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Nope

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      The game isn’t the stupid one if you sold mo for foden

  25. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Defo

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Jimmy can go anytime now his job is done

    3. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Giving him one more GW then switching to Ings

    4. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Agreed. Will be most common transfer of the week but doesn't mean it's bad.

  26. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    If Salah not playing 90 min today, he surely will start BUR next? Golden boots dream still on ...

  27. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Did Lamptey not get a yellow?

  28. yer old da
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    What is effective ownership anyway?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      50

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      % of ownership + % of captaincies, to account for the fact that you get 200% of your captain's points.

  29. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Desperately hoping for 2 Salah penalty misses and then a red card

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Mo Salah. Salah Salah salah.

    Juhuuuuuu

    But we sold Coutinho.
