Owners of Christian Pulisic (£7.4m) will be frustrated to see their man on the Chelsea bench for the final match of Gameweek 37+.

It is the first time the American has not started since the Gameweek 30+ win at Aston Villa.

Frank Lampard has opted to change his formation for the trip to Anfield, lining up in a 3-4-3 shape with Marcos Alonso (£6.1m) and Reece James (£4.9m) as the wing-backs.

Mason Mount (£6.0m) has moved forward to take Pulisic’s place in the front-three but Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) and Willian (£7.3m) retain their starting berths from the 1-0 win over Norwich.

Liverpool, who will lift the Premier League trophy tonight, have predictably gone with the big guns for this one.

That means Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.2m) are both stationed either side of Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) as per usual.

And in defence, Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) start in their preferred positions, as does Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m).

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keïta; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Chelsea XI (3-4-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rüdiger; Alonso, Kovacic, Jorginho, R James; Mount, Giroud, Willian.

    How on earth is that a Salah assist, what a ridiculous rule from FPL

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I am watching, definitely not an assist however he is highly owned and there is no consistency from FPL whatsoever

      1. Don Van Vliet
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Are you blind?

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin

  18. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Took out Willian & Giroud, replaced tehm with Salah & Jesus, go figure.

  19. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years

  20. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Not a bad half of football that.

  21. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Started Pulisic over Willian.

  22. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Is that a Willian assist?

    1. HollywoodXI
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      It’ll be given to Salah

  23. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Pulisic come on and get your brace

  24. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Was that seriously a salah asssit? Wtf

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years

      yeah 😆

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Are you blind?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        No I can see perfectly fine

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Clearly not

          1. Costa Nostra
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            Hilarious how non owners can’t ever see the assist. Hey kicked it right to him yet people can’t see it. Lmao

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      As bad as Jimmys wild slash of an assist last night

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        This x10000

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

    Probably a good thing that for me not owning Trent even if I have VVD as Trent would have been guaranteed 3 bps. When you gonna score again Virgil!

  26. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Lol i have TAA and ML second place has Becket Robbo VVD. Happy days

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Becker even

  27. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Why are people even surprised? FPL always give the casual heros like Salah extra points when they can. Kane has always been the same, ROoney as well back in the day.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Not really, they rarely give him bonus

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Because its out of their power. If it was still man in the stand he would get 3 baps every other game

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Looked like he kicked it back to me...

  28. JHolmes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    27 bench points, Reina, Foden, TAA, Lamptey

    1. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I mean, some of it looks pretty self-inflicted.

      1. JHolmes
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Henderson instead of Reina, doubling this mistake with Egan ahead of TAA. (pool have looked so half-arsed on def lately). Mistake on starting Mahrez instead of Foden. Lamptey was just bonus 4 mil

        1. Greek Freak
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah Lamptey and Reina are fair enough - good decisions that backfired. But Foden and TAA shouldn't have been benched.

          1. JHolmes
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            Yeah the TAA one is clearer, Foden easy to say in hindsight. Mostly thought between Vardy, Mahrez, greenwood and him, made the wrong choices...

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      own fault

      1. JHolmes
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        It always is with this game.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Nice BB.

    4. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      OUCH!

    5. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I hope you used BB this week?

      1. JHolmes
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        I wish.

    6. beric
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Well if youre gunna bench the highest scoring defender in the game...

      1. JHolmes
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        You either look really smart or really stupid..

  29. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Kepa with 0 saves

  30. Davido989

    Trent is elite. Absolutely elite.

      Damn straight.

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years

      At attacking. Defending he’s very poor
