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.

    I’m about to sell Salah, am I mad?

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

      No. He’s not playing 3 games in 6 days. I’m considering him to Sterling

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

    Pope got a bap 😀

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

      What happened to Pieters bps?!

  4. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Milner on, I bet he doesn’t get to take a peon if they get one

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

      yes,Mo to take them all now regardless of Milner being on the pitch..

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

    Why couldn't Mo do this last gameweek when I captained him?

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

      Why couldnt Salah do this the week before i sold him 🙁

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

    If your captain has already played and you're on a red arrow, cheer up: United's total EO is only 298.99% 😆

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I have 3 players but pretty sure i have the wrong ones..

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

    You can't climb rank this year!!

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

      This. I've been hovering between 400-200k all season long.

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

        I’ve been stuck at 30k since January

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

          I'm used to being sub 100k. I just can't get it to click this season.

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

        I'm so fed up of rotation in modern football. Add to that, clowns like Pep who don't even have a system for rotation and it makes picking players near impossible nowadays.

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

      go for differential captain. 8k to 4k with captain Mo!!
      otherwise yes its difficult

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

        I brought Auba in for a -4 before Norwich, captained him twice against Norwich this season, captained Pukki earlier in the season. I pick differentials all the time.

  8. Cok3y5murf

    Milner on pens. Salah owners in tears

    1. Dont give a fuchs
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Salah might take it as it will be a hat trick chance

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

        I know 🙁

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

      Golden boots?

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

      Think Mo would take it for a hat trick!

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

    It has probably been said already, but Pope moved into 1 BAP... 😎

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

    So anyone still believe Klopp will rest Salah when golden boot is within reach, hhhhmmm???

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I hope you re right

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

      It's still possible; next season is right around the corner, and an injury could be fatal to their title chances.

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

      Might just take him off early next game

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

    There seems to have been a late re-jig to the Burnley BPS scores. Pope getting a bonus point now. Crumb of comfort.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      The servers cant cope with no Pope bonus

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

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

    That blank last week was really costly for the Salah (c) kneejerkers

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

      I am happy for the knee jerkers

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  27. Whiskerz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Shocking week so far, but mane to sterling still looks a good transfer to have made.

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
