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.

    Made the correct decision in benching Jimenez, put out a strong team, luck goes against me in every way and I lose 30 points on my rivals! What's the point?

    Why did Chelsea get rid of Lamptey?

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Stuck behind Reece James. Couldn't give him the time he needed, I presume.

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

      Reece James

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

      Azpi & Reece James.

      Lamptey left to play, fair play to him.

    Salah only owned by 35%...quite shocked as he’s now the joint lead scorer in fpl!

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

      Yeah only 46% of the top 10k. Thought i'd be more.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

  29. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Non Salah owner and that just stings

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

      Would never ever not own him for this game. I hurt not putting the armband on him tbh.

  30. Tim Canterbury

    Is FFS going to do any content on the best remaining GW to play the free hit in?
