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.

    Soucek off the bench for Lamptey....if 2-5-3 was allowed

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Time to call up FPL towers

  3. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lol Lamptey not even on the bench

  4. Fulchester's New Centr…
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    106 all out. Any good?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not great but ok I suppose

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You knew about minus 4 didn't you?

        62 in reality. Probably decent.

      People like you score 100/100 on exam and still ask the professor how you could've improved your performance in the exam.

    3. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have 125 with 6 players to go.

      1. KAALI_DAAL
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You made a typo. Its 25, not 125.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That 6 doesn't include Vardy (TC) either does it?

        1. Plant Based FPLer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nope! BIG green arrow this week!

          All joking aside, that Salah penalty was the worst call I've ever seen. 2nd and 3rd might've come from this match as well. Worst refereeing ever.

  5. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Time for a Bissouma masterclass?

    Questions for klopp at full time:
    - why did you sabotage your team by playing them midweek?
    - did you fail to take Fulham seriously?
    - who are you going to blame this time?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Agree with the top 2 questions, at least. Man City showed what to do. Put the second team out. Even if that is the kids.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Indeed. He could've played his nan midweek.

    3. KGFC

      Answers for part 3 of the ques:

      1. Fixture congestion
      2. Only 3 subs rule
      3. Broadcasters
      4. Poor pitch
      5. Referring decisions

    No Lamptey is very strange, and annoying.

    2pts Coufal it is then.

    53 all out plus whatever bonus Salah(c) gets

  10. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

      Omg even more people getting Soucek points for Lamptey!?

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Most people play 3 atb so i doubt it changes it much.

    5. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt Salah's getting any bonus here

    6. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Must be a knock or a full rest with heavy schedule coming for Lamptey, surely.

      Been one of their most attacking players

    7. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not even Lamptey can save our season now

    8. TOLV TUMS

      Fulham look really bright. Would love to see them build on this, it's fun having them in the league.

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lamptey. The FFS gift that keeps on giving to non-owners. RC, no shows, and looks good, but doesn't deliver points.

    14. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      When do Lamptey owners finally realise what he actually is....

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        hence why i ditched him this week, kept KWP over him

      2. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

      3. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Most of the time he's on my bench so it's fine

    15. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lamptey has been a shocking singing for me.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years

      No Lamptey. Kilman 0.

      Luckily I got a pointer from Neco lol

      Salah outvof baps

          Salah owners should take what they can get. That was the worst pen call all season. Worse than the Fabinho one against Sheffield. The Fulham player wasn't making himself bigger with his arm so it's not a penalty. And the ref wouldn't even look at the monitor or it wasn't recommended.

          Having Salah is obviously defensible, just saying.

      3. ZAMUNDA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Martinez - Forster
        Chilwell - Justin - Dallas - Coufal - Kilman
        KDB - Bruno - Grealish - Jota* - Raphinha
        Vardy - DCL - Watkins

        1 FT and 2.9 ITB:

        A) Jota -> Son
        B) Jota + Vardy -> Salah + Bamford (-4)

      4. Londongeezaa
