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.

    Even though i sild Salah & DCL, i still fancy my 2 replacements Puli and Kane to outscore them.

    1. Kaiser123
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      sold u muppet

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

      Yeah it's about both transfers not just 1. I sold Mane not Salah but same logic applies.

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

      Sorry, it will be difficult.

    Salah going for the Golden both!

    If Keita could keep this form, he'll be like a new siging next year. Especially if there's no new mayor signings for Liverpool.

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

      Staying fit a bigger worry.

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

        For him, unfortunately, same thing. He's good when he gets to play.

    ML rival BB'd this gameweek and nabbed that Egan winner. He leap-frogged me in standings...for now. But, now what to do with this squad?

    Pope, Martin
    TAA, Doherty, Aurier, Saiss, Holgate
    Salah, KDB, Son, Pulisic, Bruno
    Nketiah**, Greenwood, Jimenez

    FT, 0.1itb, TC and FH remain

    1) Son > Martial (stick to 352)
    2) Son, Nketiah > Vardy, fodder (-4 and 343)
    3) Something else?

  5. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Early thoughts? 2FT here..

    Martinez

    TAA Doherty Taylor

    Mane KdB Bruno Willian

    Rashford Jimmy DCL

    3.9 Lascelles Guendouzi 3.9

    2FT & 1.7ITB

    Thanks..

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I've got a pretty similar team and thinking Jimenez + DCL to Vardy + Greenwood

      need to sell DDG to another goalie for a hit to open another United slot thoug

      shambles for me atm

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Just sold Vardy for Rashy 2 before brace against CRY...

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          you could consider keeping Jimenez for one week then shift him to Ings with a lovely set of last 3 fixtures

    2. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Fairly similar team and I've already done Martinez to Ederson. Not sure if you can afford

  6. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Salah single handedly rescuing this gameweek for me after that cruel 17? point swing from Saiss and Doherty to Egan.

  7. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Maupay is such a poor finisher

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

      Poor footballer*

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

        I stand corrected

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

          I get frustrated just watching him play.

  8. Henning
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    1. Mount and Jimenez to William/Pulisic Ings -4

    2. Son and Jimenez to William/ Pulisic and Aubameyang-4

    3. Keep Jimenez and just upgrade Mount for free

  9. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I swear if Salah doesn’t get 3 bonus points....

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

      need one more goal for max baps...

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah should get it comfortably

  10. SpagBol
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Will Jimenez drop in price tonight? He's at -87.1

    Cheers

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

      Could well do but is that .1 needed for a man on 72 points?

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

        yes it is, i have the exact funds to do Ederson to Reina (bench) and Jimenez to Vardy

    2. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Fancy Ederson to outscore vardy to be honest

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

        But i'm fielding Pope over Reina, currently I have Ederson with Pope on bench

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

          Then yeah I would transfer tonight

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

    Jimenez probably safe from a fall tonight right ? Would like to wait til all games are done before doing him to Vardy

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

      My exact same question haha

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      How are you finding it?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        *funding

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

      Does TV really matter anymore?

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy over Jesus?

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    do you think Salah will be rested against Burnley ?

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

      No.

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

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

      Chances are high given Mane was the first casualty.

    4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, doing Salah & Son to Sterling & Mahrez then Nketiah to Ings the week after

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

        Sterling and Mahrez to both start next game?

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Sterling I’m very confident, Mahrez 75%

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

        You don’t think mahrez will be rested to?

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Possibly but feel it’s more likely he starts

    5. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He'll be subbed around 70' and he plays IMHO.

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

      Two big games follow

      I think it depends if he gets another goal tonight and golden boot is more achievable

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Oh it’s achievable alright, this man can get 4 in one game

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

          Hasn’t scored a Hattie in the prem this season - 4 goal deficit with 4 games to play

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            2 after tonight’s hat trick 😉

    7. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No, I call it will be the next away game

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

      Depends when he comes off tonight

    9. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      thanks guys.

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

    Cmon Klopp bring Mane on early

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Salah close to a second!

  15. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Brighton should've had 3 goals by now 😆

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

    Painful week from hell as a taylor bencher and pope non owner

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

      Lol

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

      I have Tailor and Egan on my bench

  17. Squib
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Fuming. Allowed myself to be dissuaded from captaining Salah and went against instinct to go with KDB.

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

      To be fair Brighton are totally bossing the game

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

    Old Mo scores that.

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

      Yes, young me as well. 😉

    2. DaveZubie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      The one from Eastenders?

  19. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    What are those with Pope and non playing keeper doing this week?
    1) play pope
    2) pope to foster

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

      Playing Pope. FT we'll be centered around captaincy decision.

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

        good.might do the same,FTs are now too precious to waste on GK spots...

    2. DaveZubie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm keeping, he'll prob get 2 save points

    3. yer old da
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Playing Pope and hoping for save points - not worth a transfer at this stage with so many strikers going for the golden boot etc

    4. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      cheers all.keeping

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Is it really worth the bother? Pope might get beaten 3-0 but he'll probably get 3 or 4 saves. I'm expecting 2 points and I'll probably use my transfer elsewhere, (Vardy/Pulisic/Willian/Joe Bloggs).
      Besides, sod's law will mean that Foster will concede.

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

        valid points. 😀 Vardy in for jimenez then..

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

          My plan, but for a hit unfortunately.

    6. Lukakuna
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      3) Wildcard 😉

  20. DaveZubie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Any reason to think Vardy may get retrospective ban for that kick yesterday?

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

      Nah it was like the slap Ox just got, absolutely nothing in it.

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

        Except with some studs stuck in the face 😀

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Trossard G

  21. SpagBol
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy or Jesus? Thoughts

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy. Going for that golden boot.

  22. gers23
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who wins?

    A) 18 pts and Maguire

    B) Pogba Bruno Kane

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      B

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

      Bruno is 15 points so odds not in A's favour

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

      A

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

      24 beats 3,9,9.

    5. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It's tough to call. B just.

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

      Of course no CS. Cheers

    7. jimmy.floyd

      B

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I'm a bloody sheep.

    Just lost my mini league because I didn't follow my gut and captain Mo.

  24. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Son to mane/Salah?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wait for tomorrow’s game

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I'm gonna sell son irrespective of his performance

  25. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Neco YC

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

    so I'm not the only one who transferred Salah out it seems!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Many sold him a while back

    2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I sold him this week for sterling (c) but I was looking beyond this gameweek. Sterling's late goal really saved me but Salah could still double his haul tonight.

  27. mo 10 years on FFS? Join my…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 9 months ago

    I'm not a fan of advocating luck. Substitute the word 'luck' with 'timing' is an interesting exercise

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Timing is part of luck......

      The fallacy is people believing there is a lot of skill in timing.

  28. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Think TAA & Salah benched at the weekend

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

    Robbo will be needed.

  30. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Lamptey looks a decent little prospect.
