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.

    So, Salah don’t score away, that’s dead now.

  2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Did Salah, Guendouzi and Rash > Martial, Pulisic and Kane for -8. Captained KdB and got double Wolves defence.

    FPL is a cruel mistress.

    1. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Cue rash haul tomorrow and martial blank and you will delete your team 😉

    Feels like a Salah fail.

    Plenty of points left behind.

    1. FPL Scoop

      Lol don’t

    2. GENERATION X

      Yep that was a 20 plusser passed up

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Haha I’ll take it after last few gameweeks

  4. wattalowz
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    A) Mahrez + DCL
    B) Foden + Vardy

  5. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Wow. That could have been a monster haul

    SALAH FFS

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

      What this means ?

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

        Slow stream

      2. teneighty
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Salah, Fer Fuchs Ake. An ode to old FPL favorites.

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

    Right. Harry Kane had better F ing score 5 tomorrow to make up for that.

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      I really wish all the Kane selectors good luck for tomorrow. If he doesn't get at least 2 goals, i fear his career as an fpl asset under mourinho could be over.

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

      I hear ya!

  8. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years

    He really wants the golden boot

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

      Looks like. I am keeping. Easy brace against Arsenal for sure. Luiz in defense?

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        More likely to score against Zouma and Alonso

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Should keep his interest going for the last few games at least.

  10. The Red Devil

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

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

          Don't think can get there 30 points behind, will target 20K

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

            can be done.just go for it

              • 7 Years
              6 years, 18 days ago

    3. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      I went exactly the other way round after taking Salah out for Mahrez, captained Salah in last three games as well

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

        Painful. Still time to go back. Stay strong

    4. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Was there two gameweeks ago! Now just happy to be back up to 38k after Salah’s haul. Don’t get to happy, it always comes down the next game day. No spurs could be my downfall still...

  12. Iggypop
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Jimenez gunna drop tonight,

  13. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Currently chasing
    ML leader will captain Vardy

    Should I TC Vardy or Sterling??

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

      If you have similar teams I’d go Vardy and use any other few differentials you have to close the gap.

      If your teams are very different then go all in on Sterling.

  14. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    42 so far with DDG, Aurier, Fernandes, Ings & Rashford left to play, couple in my ML captained Salah so sitting on 60 ish (pre bonus) hopefully i can pull it back tomorrow!

  15. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    I’ll get a red arrow but...

    Bought in Foden -4

    Don’t own Salah

    Only own KdB (no Mahrez, Sterling etc)

    Well then.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Oh got a green arrow!

  16. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Sold Salah for Mahrez. Taylor was first on my bench. Doherty concede’s 93rd minute. I know it’s pointless moaning but absolutely nothing has gone my way since the restart. When we started i was top by 10 points, now im trailing by 65 and my season is over, FPL just isn’t enjoyable when you’re struggling

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Same here ..
      18 points swing for Mo Mane 😕

    2. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      I am moaning below too. Even a Doherty CS would have cheered me up.

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

      I feel ya Daaz. Keep it up. Focus on the next GW

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Roughest week I can remember 🙁

  17. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Kiko matched TAA.

    Legend

  18. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    One of those weeks so far. Benched Pope and Taylor, thought Salah due a rest so sold for Foden. Need Kane to save me but we know how that’s going to go. Still, there’s always next week!

  19. Soto Ayam
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Which would you rather

    A) -4, Son (ARS) to KDB (bri)
    B) play son
    C) play ings (mun)

    Thanks

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

    Cs for Liverpool and 5K was there.

    Super happy for this GW till now.

    Now Digne and DCL to explode next

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      "DCL to explode", isn't a phrase you hear very often

  21. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    I'm so happy I Holden on Salah to Antonio for next game week. Salah looks hungry at goal. Keeping Salah now but who do I get Antonio for?

    A) KDB
    B) Pulisic
    C) -4 Foden and Jimz to Giroud Antonio

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Forget Antonio

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 18 days ago

        Norwich Watford how can you forget

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

          Exactly? OOP! Highest xG since the restart!

    2. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      How*

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

      I would expect Antonio will be either back on the wings or back on the bench now Halle is fit given their need for goals.

    4. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      C

  22. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Whilst most Mané owners will see that as 0 points, I had Nketiah (-2) as first Sub and so see it as 2 points better off than I would of been 🙂

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Me too

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

        Feels good - it’s a small victory but a victory nonetheless.

  23. FPL Daniel

  24. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Any thoughts on where i can use my 2FT's for this GW?

    DDG

    Trent - Doherty - Aurier

    Salah - KDB - Pulisic - Fernandes

    Ings - Jimmy - Rashford

    Subs: Hendo, Saiss, Fernandez, Hayden.

  25. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 18 days ago

    Salah probably benched next GW

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      Maybe not cause of golden boot

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

      ... and who's going to do that? Klopp? Don't think so.

    3. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      I was thinking get rid for Antonio no chance he won't get bench he is hungry for the golden boot. Klopp won't stop him I reckon Firmino might be benched Salah plays as false 9

    4. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 18 days ago

      I don’t think so, he doesn’t look like he needs a rest.
