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.

    Selling Salah for KdB before this game was probably the wrong decision. One of many recently.

    Martial assist added

    1. Champions League Varane

  4. Hazz

    • 8 Years

    Clearly Mané was the problem all along /s

  5. umerlfc

    5 years, 9 months ago

    So selling Salah is scary regardless if he gets 90 today

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Gets benched vs Burnley?

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

  8. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    As a Mané owner, this is brutal...

    Wish he wasn’t injured pre wildcard - put me off getting him!

  9. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    That should be a Salah assist, not even biased.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Since when was being tackled given as an assist?

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

      Of course he holds off the challenge and clearly passes from his foot. Can’t be anything else

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

    Why did I C KDB ahead of Salah ffs

  11. The_Fish

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

  15. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Genuinely appalling management from Potter.

      • 7 Years

      Salah and Jimenez sold for Sterling (C) and Vardy. Salah never does anything when I own him, he's like that Singing Frog from Looney Tunes!

  19. DAZZ
    • 11 Years

  24. TheSteel

  28. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Hoping for a no show from either DCL, Awb, Rash or Bruno to get Egan 15 p of bench. Shall I just stop hoping?

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

      Probably

  29. CarsonYeung
    • 13 Years

    FPL gifting Salah points to please the Egyptian bots, hate to see it

  30. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    70 points gap between my mini-league leader and me...with much fear, I stuck with Salah captain. Finally, a decision that's paid off ;')
