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.

    At least you're never alone in your misery on this site during match days!

      Haha, indeed!! 😀

    2. TomSaints

      Horrible day

  2. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years

    45 with 5 to play good?

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

      Above average.

    2. Loðbrók
      • 11 Years

      Shhh

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

      The top 10k average is 31 with 6 to go

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

      Obviously

  3. Cok3y5murf

    Salah always hauls when Mane isn't playing. May as well give up on this gameweek

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

      Incredible...!!!

  4. james 101

    KDB and Foden cappers I don’t feel you made a mistake

    Could have been huge. Should have been. Just didn’t work out this time.

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

      Never seems to work out.....

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

        I didn't do it, but remember Mane(TC) this season? What about Sane(TC) the season before. Or Kane(TC)?

        Those were good players playing in good goalscoring teams and they flopped.

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Sums up my season with captaincy though, I captain someone obvious and he doesn't return, I captain someone differential or maverick and he doesn't return too, I can't believe how badly it's gone this season, I must have the lowest captain points on here.

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        On the plus side your actual team Man U are kicking ass

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

    I think Foden starts again at weekend...

    Bilva Gundogan KdB
    Sterling Jesus Foden

    Am I missing someone obvious?

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

      Fernandinho?

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

      Yes. Pep don't do the obvious.

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez

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

        Reckon he’s benched

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

      should be this

  6. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who do you think starts for City next game now?

    Should I do Mahrez to Sterling or is that a waste?

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

    KDB(c) very disappointing today. Did anyone watch the match? Was he unlucky not to get more?

    DSilva doing exactly what I expected from Kev

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

      Could have had 3 or 4 assists

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

        And a goal but Dilva shot instead

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

          Damn, annoying that

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

      To be fair, Foden missed a hattrick of assist chances from him.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Was pulling the strings, team mates wasted assists.

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

        Man that’s so annoying. Seems to often be the case. Just super unlucky then I guess, thanks lads. Was Mahrez good other than his one goal as well?

    4. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I've yet to register a haul from captaining KDB this season - true story

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        My only haul from him was when he was my vice captain.

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

      teammates didn't finish his chances. Could have had 3 assists easily.

      6 points is not great, but hardly 'very disappointing'.

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

        Pretty disappointing or at least massively unlucky in a 5-0

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

      He was tired !
      Dilva was on fire. Running around like a kid 😀

  8. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Worth taking a 4 point hit to bring in Vardy? If so who goes?

    0.5m itb
    Martinez, button
    Doherty, Taa, Aurier, lascelles, 4.0
    Kdb, Sterling, foden, mane, Bruno
    Rashford, Greenwood, jimi

    1. mr messi
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Jimi

  9. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    As well as the clean sheet points, how many Doherty bonus points did that goal cost me?

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

    Incoming 1-0 Brighton win to really pour salt on the wound

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      That would be interesting

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

        You’re welcome

  11. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    It's been a frustrating gameweek so far. Should I save for next GW?

    1 FT 0.0 ITB

    Pope
    TAA AWB Saiss
    Salah KDB Bruno Mahrez Pulisic
    Jimenez Greenwood

    Fodder Aurier DCL Lascelles

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

    Wolves off it. Losing that Doherty CS is a massive blow but he can probably stay.

    Jimenez gotta go though surely, with Vardy (BOU) calling before swapping to Ings (probably)

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I’m going to do a minus four I think and do Salah and Jimenez to Willian and Vardy.

      1. Planet Head
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Good timing with that comment 😀

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah maybe I won’t. 😀

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

    Cmon Salah grab a Hattie to save my trainwreck of a season...

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

      He's about 33.33% done

  14. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    So relieved Sterling came on and even looks to have sneaked a bap. Sold Salah for him so could still go wrong...

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

    Time to ship Wolves. They are tumbling.

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

      defence is good. attack yes

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

    >50% chance KDB and Salah benched next GW now?

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

    Help needed please

    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

  18. Egg noodle

    Salah double digits tonight would be a nice burn to Mane owners

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Mane owners already did Mane-> Sterling(c)

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

        By definition, they are not Mane owners then.

  19. FPL_Devil
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Have Egan on the First bench ugh

  20. spamking
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is KDB okay? Looked tired and took a kick from that sterling bad pass. Could he be benched again?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think he'll be rested but I don't know anything.

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

    Sorry for asking again! But did anyone watch the West Ham game? How did Antonio & Soucek looked?

  22. Planet Head
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    35 bench points, get in

    :,(

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

      Egan + Taylor?

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

    Jimenez + Doherty >> Vardy + Garcia

    Sound move?

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

    DCL bound to score 1st on my bench. Thank you very much double Wolves defence & Jimenez.
