Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.4m) has made a surprise return to the Liverpool line-up in their top of the table clash with Manchester United in Double Gameweek 19.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers using their Triple Captain chip on Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) will hope the Egyptian can return to his best form, after blanking in the last three games.

Jurgen Klopp has stuck with a 4-3-3 formation, playing Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) in his customary false nine role, flanked by Salah and Sadio Mane (£11.9m).

Their midfield has an attacking look, with Gini Wijnaldum (£5.3m) alongside Thiago (£5.7m) and Shaqiri.

Andy Robertson (£7.4m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) line up at full-back, with the makeshift centre-half pairing of Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) and Fabinho (£5.4m).

Alisson (£5.9m) will be hoping to keep only his fifth clean sheet of the season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has again named a side containing Paul Pogba (£7.7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m), as he attempts to oust Liverpool from the top of the Premier League.

Anthony Martial (£8.8m) has returned from injury to lead the line for the Red Devils.

Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) lines up opposite Pogba on the right-hand side of the attack, with Fernandes in his customary number ten role.

Scott McTominay (£4.9m) and Fred (£5.3m) make up a battling midfield for Man United.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m) and Luke Shaw (£4.8m) start at full-back, with Victor Lindelof (£4.8m) returning to the side alongside Harry Maguire (£5.4m) in the centre of defence.

David De Gea (£5.3m) continues to be selected ahead of Dean Henderson (£5.2m) in goal.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Fabinho, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Thiago, Shaqiri; Salah, Mane, Firmino

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Martial

    Cancelo has played a lot of games recently ... not surprised he gets a rest

      He's also not nailed and never has been

    What a zzzzzzzzzzz game

    Just to re-affirm that Pep is indeed a complete fraud. These were his comments on Foden after the Brighton win: "today he is playing good so maybe one day he is going to rest but right now he deserves to play"

      Whenever he praises someone there is a risk of a benching

  12. Oggle22

    Brought in mahrez after his haul blanked then benched

    Brought in gundagon after his haul blanked for weeks

    Brought in foden for the double yep benched!

    1. Benjustjamin

      you did it to yourself

  13. Releasebreaks

    Just here to check Cancelo bench comments, i bet everyone knew what pep roulette works.

    3/3 City players has to be the highlight of my day. Weird.

    1. badgerboy

      Pep roulette is a game in itself

    Time to get Cancelo in then. Gets his rest today and in the FA Cup hopefully.

    Salah no goals in 4

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      4 goals against Burnley, though

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Doubt

      2. Salah’s Sonnet

        Won’t ever happen

      Atrocious, I’ll be selling for Kane

      Guaranteed a hatty in the second DGW game then

  17. CheesyZoot

    Haven't seen it enough yet so yeah...

    Salah TC fail 😉

    Fair play to the users pointing out City's tough schedule and predicting a Cancelo benching. Think it was the user with a Hollywood grav

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah what a genius to point out City will rotate their full backs

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It’s not a surprise is it, no CB coverage but fullbacks back

  19. Old Bull
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If only Spurs had been in the DGW

  20. Ginkapo FPL

    Cancelo only gets rests in easy games during high congestion.

    Like today.

    I sodding told you so

  21. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    2 goals for stones, a Dias assist, and KDB haul! Come on!

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Just a clean sheet does me.

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shaw gets fouled and gets 3 bps?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah that's the English player effect.

    I’m not even that bothered about the Cancelo benching in the grand scheme of things. He’ll be back for next game & he’s still a great option going forward.

    Bit cringy all these LOL posts lads. Give yer heads a wobble!

    1. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm a bad person, Cancelo to come off the bench and double digit haul hopefully 🙂

    How is that not a yellow card?

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Because Trent plays for Liverpool

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Cancelo likely to come on the 80th minute and score 2 goals 🙂

    1. Party time
      5 years, 6 months ago

      😆

  26. The Senate

    5 years, 6 months ago

    United through on goal and the ref pulls it back for a Liverpool foul?

  27. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Cancelo has been quite shite to own tbh

    Good thing I switched Cancelo and Foden to Dias and Stones in my WC.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You won’t be saying that when Cancelo gets attacking returns in the coming weeks
