Liverpool are without the services of Sadio Mane (£11.9m) for their match against West Ham United this afternoon, which kicks off at 16:30 GMT.

The Senegalese winger, who was transferred in by over 130,000 Fantasy Premier League managers following his 15-point haul in Gameweek 20, misses out with what Liverpool say is a “minor muscle injury”.

The Reds add that the problem is “expected to be only a short-term issue”.

His manager added ahead of kick-off:

In fact, only one of the Reds’ regular front three makes Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI today.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is joined in the reigning champions’ attacking trident by Divock Origi (£5.2m) and Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.4m), with Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) only among the substitutes.

Along with the two changes to his front three, Klopp has replaced the injured Joel Matip (£5.4m) with Nat Phillips (£4.0m) at centre-half.

The Hammers are unchanged from the side that won 3-2 at Crystal Palace and David Moyes has even named the same nine substitutes from that victory.


West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Bowen, Benrahma, Antonio.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Henderson, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Thiago, Shaqiri, Salah, Origi.

    5 captain fails in a row has seen me drop from 30k to 60k....so beware Son owners

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Still a great rank.

  2. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Up 100k with those 2 Salah goals. Still a red but it's a 1k red now! Son should probably put me in green!

    Pleased with Salah points but how many times is my VC going to score big while my C flops? This week Gundo (c), Salah (vc). Last: Bruno (c), Gundo (vc).

    I’ve had 3 captain successes all season: 2x Son, 1x Bruno. Absolutely hopeless!

      I’m with ya

    Bookies always know. Salah lowest odds of any player to score this week.

  5. Party time
    5 years, 5 months ago

    64 pts with Son left. I’m absolutely buzzing right now.

    Sorry if I sound arrogant

    Damn rival has Salah C

  7. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Salah back on track for a 30 goal season!

  8. Esalman
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Need another return from Coufal or Soucek for green arrow.

  9. FPL Scoop

    Hoping for a Son haul to fully turn this game around

    1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fingers crossed

  10. Dash444
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like I might have tied in the cup (barring a Robbo return which would send me through) , goal scored are the same, then it goes to goals conceded. If this is just goals conceded by the defenders/gk then this is the same aswell ....so then it’s virtual coin toss!!!!

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Salah close.

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Salah Capper Rejoice!!!!!

    WE LOVE TO SEE IT

    OH YES WE DO

  13. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Few weeks hard work has gone ... damn tough to climb back

  14. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Well played all! I'm assuming we all captained Salah yeah?

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Captaining a cdm going through a purple patch rather than salah who is one of the most lethal players in the game was suggested by many of the Twitter experts

    Many paying the price

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Who did you captain though?

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He captained Mane

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Depends who they captained the last 6 game weeks too.

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You should have wrote it "experts"

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

      A player who hadn’t scored in 6 weeks against a very solid team too. Compared to a not-so-defensive mid v the bottom team

    5. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Twitter experts is an oxymoron.

    6. Cruyff Turn
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nonsense... Gundogan had form, fixture and a rest in the previous game going for him. Hindsight...

    7. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Don't care. 3 point captain return is an absolute haul for me these days. I am chuffed with Gundo points.

  16. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Another captain fail (DCL, and Salah VC) . I'm so bad this season

  17. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool's corner taking has been piss poor recently.

  18. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

  22. Davros
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I would have captained Salah, but I read something about a witch doctor curse. Was that not real then?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      That curse ended last GW.....

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It had been "real", but it curse expired last week.

    3. Nightcrawler
