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.

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

            Not paid off yet... but yeah that was the plan, as would have to hit in Vardy anyway, so took the Kane punt aswell

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

      No, but for free looking good.

  2. drughi
    • 16 Years

  3. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Wolves double defence. That goal cost me 10 points.

    1. LE CHARO
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Same, but I also have Egan second on my bench behind DCL...

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        State of bench

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

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

      ML rival had double Sheffield United, one being Egan. I had Boly..

  4. JJO
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Chance to close gap on ml leader
    And Kdb get only 1 assist from 5 goals
    Doherty conceded in last second
    Wham cant score from 3 clear chances
    Why we play this game?

  5. drughi
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I need sadio to do a sterling and get 10 points in 25 minutes

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

      Amen brother
      Amen

  6. Mr. Chimes
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thank you NBC for that wonderful bonus coverage of my 2 Wolves defenders conceding in the 93rd.

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

      One thing I think footballers forget...You have to play, HARD, till the FINAL WHISTLE...

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

    Absolutely brutal results

  8. balint84
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How was Bowen? Did he produce something?

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

    Guys relax
    KDB was so highly © nothing matters.
    Yes Mahrez & Foden owners can feel bad ...

    And yes, Pope non owners ...
    Group huddle !! No BPS for that man !! 😀

    1. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It matters for triple captainers....

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

        Well brother
        I am Mane TC this season
        Sane last
        Kane before that

        If that makes you feel slightly better 🙂

        Be happy with 21 .. could have been monster scroe for you. But nothing wrong. He was evidently tired so it's slightly bad luck ...

        1. Greek Freak
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks, I know you've had worse luck but it's so frustrating to see a 5-0 result and next to nothing involvement for the best player in the league...

          And I feel your pain overall - the last time my triple captain scored a goal was Alexis Sanchez in 2017!

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

            He he
            That was freaking amazing though.
            Actually i TC Sanchez only !!

            1. Greek Freak
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              I don't care what shape he's in, if he returns to the Premier League I'm triple captaining him next year 😆

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

                Ha ha ha ha
                I can't see any PL club getting him. United would try to cut lose too
                Let's see

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

            210 points i guess that GW

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

      Mahrez got 8 points which isnt bad.

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

        I'm greedy

  10. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Lol, of course I triple captain KDB in a 5-0 rout and I'm on a projected red arrow 😆

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      yikes

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Cant find EO% for Sterling

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

      6.79% in the top 10k.

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

        Thought it was at least 20

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

      Low

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

  12. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Going to TC Mane next week I think

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

      v Pope? good luck

  13. Kno
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    thank the bald lord for that raheem sub, had nketiah waiting to pop on

  14. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Any chance Mane comes on ?

    Rival has Egan 1st sub.

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

      Salah's due a rest, could be a straight swap.

    2. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      There is a chance yeah. Since he is on the bench Klopp can chose to sub him on, that has been a rule in football for quite some time!

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say he comes on

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez to Sterling too sideways or good move given limited minutes in last couple of games for Sterling?

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

      Do you think Sterling plays the Bournemouth game?

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

        That’s the big question !

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

      Sideways. I think Sterling will score slightly more in remaining games.

  16. Viper
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Exact funds for Jimenez - > Vardy.

    Good to go?

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

      Yep

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

      yeah for sure

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No brainier

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

      Yh

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

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Jimmy will score next GW

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

      No chance

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

    Please everyone sell Jimenez, I will have him all for myself 🙂

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

      He hasnt done squat

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

      Already done last week, how’d that work out?

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

    So again I'll be asking this question and end up going with the wrong choice!

    Play Stevens or Egan?

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

      Never bench Egan 😉

  20. drughi
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    No bonus for pope

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

      Owning Pope is the bonus

  21. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Ritchie (0), Fernandez (-2) and Nkeitah (-2) on the bench - in that order.

    Four outfield players to go.

    T'riffick.

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      At least you got the bench order correct?

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        That's actually a good point. Hadn't thought of that.

    2. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Hope you didn't play BB

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Blimey. Can you imagine?

        -4 BB.

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

      Just realised - the best thing I did this week was to take Fernandez out.

  22. 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 in the bank

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

      Doherty Jimmy to Justin and Vardy?

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Chances created this season:
    1. KDB 115
    ...
    ..
    2. Gealish 82
    3. Buendia 80
    4. TAA 79
    5. Maddison 78

    Incredible

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

      If Buendía doesn’t get a move to a Prem team this summer I’d be amazed...

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

        He will go to Leeds or West Brom

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A defender being up there is the most incredible thing imo

  24. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Best option for (-4):

    1. Rashford Henderson >> Vardy Martinez
    2. Rashford Lundstram >> Vardy Lamptey
    3. Jimenez Mahrez >> Vardy Pulisic (or Willian)
    4. Connolly Salah >> Vardy Pulisic (or Willian)
    5. Save

    Thanks

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

    KDB was looking like he could be rested next game at the end there...

  26. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Gutted had my double wolves d wiped out there. Would have got me into top 1k

  27. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    My rival:
    -Gets 5 points from his GK even though he conceded
    -Brings in Willian for immediate 11 points
    -Gets a goal from donkey Jesus
    -Gets 6 points from SHU defence from 2nd on his bench (the others on his bench have a combined score of -2)

    Me:
    -Loses double Wolves clean sheet in last minute
    -KDB only 1 assist in a 5-0 home win
    -Total bench score of -4!

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

      As I said to that other guy. Sometimes you got to accept you ain't lucky in FPL. You can try to change it, but might not work.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        It's sickening. He's got double Liv defence up now, I'm in two minds about whether to even watch it. He'll probably get a TAA assist right on to VVD's head the way things are going.

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

      You got hulk smashed

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Accurate

  28. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    BB with triple wolves defence and Garcia...

    I still am finding that goal too hard to swallow. Think it could be called a day for me for awhile.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Triple Wolves defence? Wow, that is painful

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Patricio, Doherty and Saiss

  29. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Pope you are a Legend!!!!!!

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

      lucky

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Skilled FPL player you mean 😉

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

    Sterling gets 1BAP with KdB.
