The most-bought player of Gameweek 11 is only among the substitutes at Anfield this evening.

Diogo Jota (£6.9m) was transferred in by just over 600,000 managers ahead of Saturday’s Fantasy Premier League deadline but drops out of Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI for the first time in the league since Gameweek 7.

Kick-off on Merseyside tonight is at 19:15 GMT.

The swap of Jota for the recalled Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) is Klopp’s only alteration from the win over Ajax in midweek.

Compared to the Gameweek 10 line-up, however, there are five changes: Alisson (£5.9m), Nat Phillips (£4.0m), Takumi Minamino (£6.0m), James Milner (£5.3m) and Jota make way for Caoimhim Kelleher (£4.5m), Joel Matip (£5.4m), Curtis Jones (£4.4m), Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) and Sadio Mane (£12.0m).

Having been flagged with an injury following the Champions League win on Tuesday, Andrew Robertson (£7.2m) is fit enough to start.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) is also back in the matchday squad after a month on the sidelines and takes his place on the hosts’ bench.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santos has made just one change from his team’s last outing.

It’s an enforced one, too, as the injured Raul Jimenez (£8.3m) is replaced by Ruben Neves (£5.2m).

Fabio Silva (£5.2m) is only among the substitutes so Wolves will be playing without an orthodox striker, with one of Pedro Neto (£5.6m), Adama Traore (£6.2m) or Daniel Podence (£5.4m) deployed centrally.

Budget FPL defender Max Kilman (£4.3m) is again named on the bench.

Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) is the most-owned played on show, although there is now precious little difference between the ownerships of the Egyptian and Jota.

Not one of Wolves’ starting XI sits in more than 10% of FPL squads.


LiverpooI XI: Kelleher, N Williams, Fabinho, Matip, Robertson, Jones, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Boly, Coady, Dendoncker, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Marcal, Traore, Neto, Podence.

    Would you make a change with this squad if u had 1FT?

    Martinez/Ryan
    Coufal Chilwell Robo
    KDB Jota Bruno Salah(C)
    Watkins DCL Bamford

    Martinez/Ryan Cancelo Anguissa Mitchell

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I'd play Cancelo over Coufal... but good to save a transfer and have 2 for week after

  2. Rinseboy

    Thoughts on
    Dias Vardy and Jota to Ayling Bamford and Salah?

    Martinez
    James Chilwell Lamptey Dias Mitchell
    Son Grealish KDB Bruno Jota
    Vardy DCL Brewster

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      For -8 ? No thanks

  3. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    I feel like everyone should be getting Trent

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Everyone's money in midfield now. Trent a luxury and low ownership - can avoid for time being

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    McCarthy
    Chilwell / R. James / Lamptey
    KDB / Fernandes / Son / Grealish / Jota
    Vardy / DCL

    Forster // Coufal / Brewster / Kilman

    Tricky, tricky!

    A) Vardy/Jota/Kilman > Bamford/Salah/3.9
    B) Vardy/Grealish > Bamford/Salah
    C) Other?

    Frankly think DCL may struggles in the next few, but too chicken to go without. Kilman may get back into the team but given that's not a dead cert, a 3.9 does basically an equal job.

    Obviously, no Kane but still have Son!

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Fancy Kilman getting back in as they've looked pretty awful defensively

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Never play him anyway

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        (Lamptey & Coufal have great fixtures very soon.)

  5. Wet Bandits
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    2FT - 0.2 ITB. Don’t want to roll another FT, any suggestions.

    McCarthy
    James, Chilwell, Bellerin, Justin
    KDB, Salah, Bruno, Son
    DCL, Bamford,

    Steer, Mitchell, Stephen’s, Watkins.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I´d ditch Bellerin. Arsenal look awful.

    2. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Chilwell to Lewis (4.3) and Stephens upgrade... I wouldn't want to be playing 4 at the back with all the current midfield options right now

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Chilwell to Lewis. Are you having laugh?

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        (Lamptey & Coufal have great fixtures very soon.)

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Fail reply to above. Downgrade Bellerin to upgrade a mid, or bring in a replacement for Justin whilst you have a free moment at the minute.

  6. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Score predictions for tomorrow?

    Would love a 0-0, seeing as I have McCarthy, KWP, and Lamptey. But that probably means 3-3.

  7. 7_Dan_7
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Have exact funds for Kane + Bowen > Wilson and Bruno. Would you go tonight (Wilson rising)?

    Feel like need to get Bruno in, but would mean no Spurs coverage. Would plan to bring Son back for Fulham GW16.

    1. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Not sure buying Bruno before playing Man City is the best move plus no idea when Newcastle will play next. So it’s a no from me.

      1. 7_Dan_7
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        see your point, but not worried about lacking bruno the next two GWs vs SHU (A) and LEE (H)

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Man Utd have got an absolutely crucial Champions League game midweek so at least wait until after that first.

  8. Torres76
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Which option guys?

    Option 1
    Salah, Mahrez, Grealish, Son, Jota
    Bamford, DCL, Kane

    Option 2
    Salah, KDB, BRUNO, Son, Jota
    Bamford, DCL (Delap)

    Concerned about losing Harry Kane.

    Cheers

    1. 7_Dan_7
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      2, Son gives you Spurs coverage and Kane money better spent elsewhere

      1. Torres76
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Cheers matey

    Need confirmation

    werner and jota for salah and brewster -4

    Yes or no?

    1. 7_Dan_7
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Yes

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Yes

  10. The Frenchie
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    What do you guys think about that guys?

    Current team:
    Meslier
    Chilwell / Zouma / Walker Peters
    De Bruyne / Bruno Fernandes / Son / Grealish
    Kane / Calvert-Lewin / Bamford

    Transferts:
    Out: Chilwell / Zouma / Calvert-Lewin
    In: Targett / Cooper / Salah

    New team:
    Meslier
    Targett / Cooper / Walker Peters
    Salah / De Bruyne / Bruno Fernandes / Son / Grealish
    Kane / Bamford

    In my opinion the next Everton fixtures are not that good and same for Chelsea defense..

    1. N00B
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      No, dont sell the Chelsea defenders.

    1FT, 0.6itb
    1) Ziyech, Vardy > Salah, Wilson (-4)
    2) Ziyech, DCL > Salah, Brewster (-4)
    3) Ziyech, Vardy > Jota, Kane (-4)

    1. David Brains - OH NO!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Haha! No Spurs cover, which is why I was considering it (and floating it for feedback).

    2. N00B
      • 11 Years

        Oh, you're just biased. 😉

    3. Royal5

      1

  12. Davros
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Thoughts on this...
    McCarthy (4.0)
    Zouma Justin James (Coufal Dallas)
    KDB Son Salah Bruno Grealish
    Bamford Wilson (Brewster)

    1. N00B
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      9/10. I would sell Justin in next weeks.

      1. Davros
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Yeah, on the cards. Thanks

  13. N00B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    I just took my first hits in this season.
    Cancelo, Telles, Ziyech, Vardy out - Dallas, Targett, Salah, Ings in (-8)

    McCarthy
    Chilwell Dallas Lewis
    Salah KDB Bruno Grealish
    Ings DCL Bamford

    Bench: Forster, Lamptey, Soucek, Targett

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Not sure about that but good luck

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Will take a few weeks to make up for that hit.

  14. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Jota/Vardy -> Salah/Brewster worth it for Mo?

    Would leave me with....

    Martinez
    Chilwell Zouma Dallas
    Salah Bruno KDB Son Grealish
    DCL Bamford

    Forster Lamptey Brewster Mitchell

    1. Davros
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      You’ll only have one sub going into Christmas...

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        He has two? Brewster is good for a 1 pt cameo. Almost certain to either play or come on as Sheffield United are always chasing.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Yep exactly. Brewster is fine. Not a Soucek, but will score eventually...

  15. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Not that interested in someone at Ziyech price. Salah is a must have. Bamford has very good fixtures but Kane mixed and can see him blanking few games next 4-5 games. Yes, Im trying to convince myself og getting rid of Kane for a hit to get Salah and captain him. Unsure who would be captain if I dont get Salah. What do you think?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Same situation as you. If I didn't get Salah this week I would prolly captain Kane.

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Can you see as many goals for Spurs vs Crystal Palace as for Liverpool vs Fulham?

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          City "only" beat them 2-0, so who knows really! Going without Salah is a MASSIVE risk though

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Ideally we should only really ever be taking hits in order to captain the player we are taking a minus 4 for.

  16. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Who would you rather lose to make way for Salah?

    Kane +
    A) Jota
    B) Mahrez
    C) Grealish
    D) Son

    Honestly thinking about going without Grealish. Brought Mahrez in for a hit this week to cover for missing villa assets. They face WBA after United, so it feels silly to get rid of him as well. Also feels silly to get rid of Jota before Fulham (and after he was benched this week). Grealish has done nothing wrong either. Son got a great fixture as well. Selling both him and Kane is crazy, right?

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I did the same like you for Mahrez, but decided Salah as captain would probably be a better option going forward. Mahrez not consistent and always a chance of being rotated.

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        I just sold Mahrez and Vard to get Salah and Giroud.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Grealish is one of the best values in the game. He even got more points than KDB!

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        I know! Can't get my self to do it either. It's frustrating. Villa hasn't exactly been scoring a lot lately though.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Neither did City for weeks. Grealish could even be back on pens after Watkins´ last miss.

  17. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Who is the best defender for 4.8 and below. Have KWP, Dallas....

    1. Torres76
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Dier is only 4.9m

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        If they had 4.9 they would have asked who is the best for 4.9 and below

  18. Torres76
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Current team (3-4-3 with a great 1st sub)

    Martinez (Myland)
    Chilwell , James, Matip, (Mitchell, Douglas)
    Salah, Mahrez, Grealish, Son, Jota
    Bamford, DCL, Kane

    Future team (3-5-2 with poor 1st sub)

    MENDY (Myland)
    DIER, James, Matip, (Mitchell, Douglas)
    Salah, KDB, BRUNO, Son, Jota
    Bamford, DCL (DELAP)

    Would you make the changes or stay with current team?

      is there an echo?

  19. Mr Bird
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    KDB > Salah (c) for free?

    Have Jota and Robbo already but not sure they cover a capped Salah overall.

  20. Erdogan
    • 7 Years

    Is the next wildcard available in January? Asking for a friend

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      yup turn of the year but best to save that for the madness a few months later

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    The template is really starting to form. We all will have the same midfield and forward line very soon.

    Midfield: Salah KDB Fernandes Grealish Jota/Mahrez

    Forwards: DCL/Watkins + Bamford

    Guess the only ''big" differentials will be the defence. Those with great TV could possibly climb the rank if they can afford the likes of both Robbo and Chilwell.

    1. Rinseboy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      One of Son or Kane probably needed too

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        yup dont know if that is tempate without a spurs asset thrown in the mix, tough season ahead for all.

  22. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    So Mo, Kev, Raz, Kane, Son all got a goal and assist this gw.

    Big hitters are matching each other regardless of opposition for the most part. So the points gains are all on the mid priced assets, just buy the three u are most comfortable with 4 if u can fit them in and then hope the likes of Jota, grealish, ziyech, dcl, Rich, James, Bamford, Wilson, watkins, zaha etc etc can get u enough points to move up in ranks.

    This is going to be the toughest season to do well, no easy picks and you are always going to want who you dont own.

      Well said

  23. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    I've floated the idea of getting rid of Vardy or DCL. My head is telling me sell DCL, but most feedback is to get rid of Vardy.

    Just curious why Vardy out over DCL? Frees up more funds? Form? Fixtures? All of the above?

  24. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    77 this week feels pretty good. I’m sure some did better, but I’m back on top of my mini league and that makes me happy.

    hi guys,

    which two of these four would you guys suggest?

    Watkins, Adams, Bamford, Wilson.
