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.

    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

  11. TheSteel

  12. DycheDycheBaby

  15. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years

    Apologises in advance. Currently anyone I captain seems to blank, anyone I VC scores high, so apologises once again if you've got Bruno. And thank me if you've got Salah.

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

      Don't say this to me

  16. Hybrid.power

  18. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years

  19. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Salah assist for sure

    • Kodap
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why oh why did I captain KDB over Salah...

    • Strchld
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Have double Wolves defence. Mane instead Salah. Hate this game.

    • BNMC
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Southampton stay calm, Liverpool are breaking Leicester's 9-0 record!

    • JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      As I sold Mane not Salah I'm just going to accept this, but Jesus.

    • drughi

        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I hear you, bro! Such a pain to own.

    • mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Salah to ruin the week for anyone who didnt cap him?

    • BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Salah so annoying... was like a zombie last week!

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

      Salah = FPLKing end of the story.

    • The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Surely they can’t give that as a Salah assist!?
