Salah and Alexander-Arnold start as Klopp gives update on Jota’s knee injury

The most-captained and most-bought player of Gameweek 12 features in the third of five matches on a busy Sunday afternoon of Premier League football.

Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) was transferred in by just over 400,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Friday’s deadline and now sits in more than one in three FPL squads.

Over 1.5 million Fantasy bosses have handed him the armband today.

Jurgen Klopp’s only two changes from Gameweek 11 sees two first-team regulars return from injury.

Alisson (£5.9m) is back in goal in place of Caoimhin Kelleher (£4.5m), while Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) ousts Neco Williams (£4.0m) from the right-back spot.

Diogo Jota (£7.0m) misses out as expected and the former Wolves player could well be out until February, with his manager saying ahead of kick-off:

It’s worse than we first thought and better than we then thought. The potential surgeons had a look at it, no surgery needed but he will be out for a while. We don’t know exactly… one-and-a-half, two months?

It’s pretty similar with Kostas Tsimikas, by the way. Unbelievable.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.3m) is back on the bench for the visitors.

Fulham make one change from the side that lost 2-0 at Manchester City, with Mario Lemina (£4.5m) replacing the benched Harrison Reed (£4.4m).

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.6m) is not in the Cottagers’ squad having picked up a minor knock in training.


Fulham XI: Areola, Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo, De Cordova-Reid, Anguissa, Lemina, Robinson, Lookman, Loftus-Cheek, Cavaleiro.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones, Salah, Firmino, Mané.

    im new to fantasy this year. I would really appriciate some help :)) using my wildcard for gw 13, hopefully so that the team is good untill like gw 25. What do you guys think about:

    gk: mendy , 4.0

    def: Lowton, Alyoski/jamal lewis, charlie Taylor, Matt Targett, Ruben Dias

    mid: Salah, De Bruyne, Fernandes, Son, Grealish

    For:
    Bamford, Giroud/Watkins, Brewster

    My plan is to transfer out Giroud/Watkins, Matt Target, Grealish for Eric Dier, James Maddison/ Zaha or something + Callum Wilson in gw 16/17 when the fixtures turn for the likes of aston villa, and newcastle.

    I really want the four premium midfielders, i want mendy in goal, and i have to have Brewster to make it work. The questions i really want help with is Giroud (unsure starter, but with potential of bigger scores + kind of good form) or Watkins (the safe starter, with few hauls). And if someone have some tips on 4.5 budget defenders for gw 13 to like 20-25

    Thanks in advance :))

    Is Jurgen Klopp right? Should 5 subs be allowed? Does De Bruyne start on Wednesday?

    What can you get from the bench on the double gw? With how many points would you be satisfied when playing bench boost?
