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.

  4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

  6. El Presidente

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    So everyone will captain Salah next GW for his blank

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I am considering transferring in Cancelo and captaining

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

      Yeah me

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling should haul too. Grealish is decent bet too

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, which makes VC choice v important

  8. Vlekz
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Defence.
    Stones cancelo dier Ferguson all out.
    (Only Cresswell playing)

    1. Hey_Arnold
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Has Ferguson played all season? The others unlucky.

  9. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    First on bench

    A. Burke vs WBA
    B. Targett vs WHU

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Burkeyyyy

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Should I start him over Gundogan?

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Is that a joke?

  10. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Was 8 points ahead of ML rival going into Pool game. He had Salah captain. Now 22 points behind. I have Son left (him nobody left). Need a Son hat trick!

  11. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Only a Son OG and red card and leaving the field crying can make me smile again.

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

      😀

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      This

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Btw thanks for the assist off the bench. Need a hat-trick next week.

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He got a red when i capped him once so he has previous

    4. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Son RC overdue.

    5. LSK
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No penalty miss?

    6. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers Son's crying now

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

    How many MORAL points are we all on?

    MORAL Score = no Jammy autosub and VC shenanigans

    65 here

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

      Thats a moral victory then

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

      No such thing. Score is your score.

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

      Same absolutely zero Jam but 74 points so no issue

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

      No need to ask, either you have Salah Bamford Martinez on your starting XI and captaining one of those

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

        No martinez stuck with mccarthy

    5. Vlekz
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Non moral points? Most had the best players not playing against the worst in the league. (City vs Sheffield).

    6. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      This week is majority jam ; points from completely unexpected places

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

    Mad to be considering benching Son against Chelsea next gameweek? Had a nightmare benching fifteen pointers two weeks in a row now. If not Son, who’d you bench out of Gundogan (bur), Soucek (avl), Bamford (EVE), Calvert-Lewin (lee) or Antonio (avl)?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Gundo or Soucek

    2. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I thought I had the same problem and decided to bench boost this week.....didn’t work out to say the least....

    3. rupopo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Son should def play ahead of Soucek. I might just be saying that as I sold Soucek for Son this week 🙂

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

        And I might only be asking because I benched Soucek last week. 😆

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Soucek

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

    Best Chilwell replacement
    I have Cancelo, Stones, AWB and Coufal.

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

      Any rush to replace him? Tuchel hinted at Alonso playing today because of Burnley’s aerial threat so no reason to think Chilwell is permanently dropped, plus you could feasibly bench him next gameweek anyway?

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably just Mitchell or strujik

  15. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which one is better:

    1) Sterling + TAA --> Salah + Dias + 1.8 ITB
    2) Pogba + Firmino ---> Salah + 6.1 FWD

    Both would cost -4 hit, 6.1 FWD is probably Adams as I'm priced out of Watkins (6.2)

  16. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Son C vs 6 points in my cup... what happens if we draw?

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

      Whoever has more goals wins

  17. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dawson or Dallas?

    1. HuthTheMagicDragon
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not even a question, diamond dallas

  18. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    41pts with Son left, nasty red from 1.6k to 5k, Bamford killed me today! And playing Areola (1) over Martinez (10) was a sore one.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sigh

    2. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      With no hits my original team with the same Captain would have scored 74 instead 52 (-12) ouch.. Bamford/ Wilson out for Richarlison/C-L..

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone with Son captain? He was my bus team captain

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

      bus team?

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He plays with multiple teams despite it being against the rules.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 17 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I do not and never had. Bus team is the team you set up right after the game updates.

          So if you got hit by a bus or something your team is set up

          1. fedolefan
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You expect to get hit by a bus every week? What sort of morose living is that?

            1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              He didn’t come up with the term. What’s with all the negativity?

              1. fedolefan
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                I even know the pod that silly term comes from. Am I not allowed to troll?

          2. GENERATION X
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Or if you throw yourself under a bus

            1. 7shadesofsmoke
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              😀 dark

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

              Haha

          3. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            I mean, he's not actually your captain so a silly thing to call out.

          4. 7shadesofsmoke
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            good job you have your remaining chips in your username. Is that in case you get hit by bat?

          5. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Ok, so dead teams are managers hit by buses and then the team is left on the bus setup from that week?

            1. fedolefan
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Yep, bus drivers been running over FPL managers immersed in their phones fixing benching dilemmas for years now.

      2. michaelington
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Setting your team a week in advance in case you get hit by a bus, hence bus team.

  20. JJO
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Where t f is Dier?
    Oh cmon Stones,Mitchell and now Dier too

    1. Uncle Gamst
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Stones, Mitchell, Cancelo & Dier

      Coufal coming on for 1 point

  21. Angin out the Begović
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Alonso time ?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully. I will monitor for one more week and then potentially do Robbo to him.

      1. Angin out the Begović
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed was gunna put TAA in for Brighton and then do him to Alonso.

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I'm keeping chilwell midweek
          I think

          If alonso starts then, I'll bring him in for the weekend probably

  22. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Cummon Son get those Salah points

  23. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Chances of a son master class? ML manager of the month was tied but my rival captained salah

  24. KAALI_DAAL
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bam Bam is flagged.

    Is it bad news?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Just a dead leg, he said he was fine in post-match interview.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No - dead leg.

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Knew i got rid of him for a reason

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

      Dead leg only, likely to be ok for next

  25. PhoggyRatherGroggy
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Can anybody beat this? (C) Sterling, Kane, Cancelo, Stones, Dier, Mitchell?!

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Cresswell or Chelsea

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I can match it: Mane, Kane, (C)ancelo, Stones, Dier, Mitchell.

      1. PhoggyRatherGroggy
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Mane edges it over Sterling for me...you Sir have won the pain game! How did you end up for the week? I lucked out with VC Salah, Bam Bam, Wilson and Martinez saving the wee, no bench jam though...

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Grealish vc - still lucky but not quite as nice. I brought in Mane instead of Salah, so hello red arrow!

  26. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Why is Dier benched??? I want to get rid of him so badly it hurts.

    1. PhoggyRatherGroggy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like a rest but we may get some post game news. I was looking to transfer him out, would of loved a random header or FK departing gift...not meant to be I suppose

  27. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hi....what to do here with chilwell please? Don't see an obvious replacement.....thanks

    A.....lose for robbo  / trent

    B....save ft....play dallas... have a think

    C...something else

    Martinez
    Cancelo dias dallas (chilwell coufal)
    Salah Bruno gundog grealish (soucek)
    Antonio dcl watkins

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Think that's the sensible move probably...thanks

  28. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Crazy to play Brewster vs WBA?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No

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

      Doubt he starts tbh.

    3. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Brewdog brace would be all yours, all yours

  29. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    my rival has VC Son but I am not afraid. The Witch Doctor has destroyed Son and today it's 3 out of 5 bad games.

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Stones to TAA for a FT?

    WC in GW 25 most likely

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      nah, Stones deserves another week in your team
