Brighton Hove Albion v Liverpool gets Gameweek 29 underway at the Amex at 12:30 GMT.

These are two of the six sides who ‘double’ in this week and there is unsurprisingly plenty of Fantasy interest in the Reds.

A whopping 94% of the top 10k captained Mohamed Salah in the current Gameweek and, with almost one in four of these managers using the Triple Captain chip on the Egyptian, his ‘effective ownership’ (EO) tops 200%.

In laymen’s terms, if you didn’t Triple Captain the leading points scorer in FPL and you’re in one of the rank tiers below where Salah’s EO is in excess of 200%, you’ll lose a bit of ground if/when he returns.

There are no massive shocks when it comes to the team news, with Virgil van Dijk starting despite being absent from training earlier this week amid reports of Covid cases at the club.

Jurgen Klopp has made three changes from the side beaten by Inter Milan in midweek.

Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson and Luis Diaz return, as Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota and Thiago Alcantara drop to the bench.

Brighton manager Graham Potter makes four alterations following the 2-1 defeat by Newcastle last time out.

Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister, Neal Maupay and Solly March come in for Shane Duffy, Danny Welbeck, Jakub Moder and Pascal Gross.

Midfielder Enock Mwepu, who has been out for two months with a hamstring issue, is on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Brighton XI: Sanchez, Lamptey, Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella, Alzate, Bissouma, Mac Allister, Trossard, March, Maupay.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Henderson, Fabinho, Salah, Mane, Diaz.

    how on earth can Salah still be on 2 BAPS?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yawn

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He hasn't been able to lose anymore!

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Subbed on 26 baps and Diaz BC missed.

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mark triple captained him.

    5. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Someone at the towers TCed Salah this week

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Because the game is rigged. Always has been!

  2. fantasyfog
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Salah still gets 2 bonus then fantasy football league towers are wronguns

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Alisson earning his BAP/s.

  4. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As I only own Trent from the Liverpool defence, I'd be 2,000 ranks better off if Liverpool lose the cleansheet...

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      What rank you at?

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        85k

    2. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Crazy, been wondering myself whether I'd be better off pool conceding or not

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If you only have trent you definitely would be

    3. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How'd you calculate that?

        1. Shteve
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers

  5. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Allison best GK in the world. I'd put him above Donnarumma atm.

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Donnarumma had an absolute mare the other night

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Allison best GK in the world.

      Ramsdale is from another planet.

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Both nothing compared to Wayne Shaw

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who on Earth thinks Donnarumma is the best goalkeeper in the world?!

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I guess I did in the summer. Quality at the Euros.

      2. LE CHARO
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        People who have watched him in Milan, at the euros and at PSG this season before Wednesday maybe?

    5. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d put Jordan Pickford ahead of Donnarumma

    6. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Donnarumma wouldn’t make my top 20

  6. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine if Brighton could actually score. What a team they would be..

    1. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Marginally better than they currently are?

  7. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    -3bps for Diaz because he missed a big chance?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t think theyve classed it as a big chance

  8. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah injured?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, nothing bad by the look of it

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah BAPless!

    1. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice!

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      should be but he's on 2

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      On 1 I think

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Alison 1 save point and 2 bonus! Dont ask.

  10. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How are Trent and Robbo dropping bps towards the end of the game. Isn’t that the complete opposite of every other game this season!?

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They did a lot of bps negative things, lost ball, tackled etc.

  11. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Don't have Robertson...rank down

  12. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I am on a small red arrow despite c salah taa and robbo cs. I did take a - 8 but i did expect a green arrow.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You gained nothing from Salah and TAA and you took a -8.

  13. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah on 2 baps all game and then down to 0 in the last minute. F this game

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just went back to 1

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’ll take that

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully Diaz with his winning goal baps will leap frog Salah.

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Aren’t they added at the start now?

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure.

    3. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Worse things have happened

  14. fantasyfog
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Faith restored in fantasy football towers

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The bps moans are the lowlight of every weekend.

  16. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How did Salah’s injury look?

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Difficult to tell, down on the pitch but made his own way off. Hopefully back next match

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        4 days away. Guess it depends on injury and whether it was a precaution or had to come off.

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Cheers Robbo!

  18. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Diaz lost his bonus!

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1 bap for Salah

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Diaz -BPS finally.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Best Liverpool forward at the moment.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        So impressed with him!

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Those going for a punt on him probably happy, will most likely start next game.

  21. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah 1 baps

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Trent & Robbo double cleanie 😎

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Matip beat that himself.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Matched*

  23. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    39 pts from 3 players. I’ll take that and run

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't trip over though 😉

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah you can run but you'll never catch us DGW26 TCers 😉

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same combo as me I presume. 1bps or less for Salah and co would be disappointing but main thing was double CS and Salah returned

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for the Kane cappers to kick in 😉

  24. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Podence, Martinelli, Kulusevski or Barnes?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes for me I think
      . Depends on your team set up

  25. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1 point for Lamptey and that performance is a crime

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lost his pedigree for being the fastest player in PL.

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Swapped him out for Doherty this week. He has been a little underwhelming of late. Enabled me to keep Cancelo too.

  26. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    39 from 3. Into the top 1k for the first time. Liverpool win. Good start to the weekend

  27. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Weghorst my big differential for the gw coming up lol.

    Come on wout. Id take an assist right now!

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just hope he doesn't get booked

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A shot on target would be progress

  28. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I'll take the Matip 12 points as a solid start to the DGW.
    Mane a pain, but armband is on Kane.

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lovely differential! Almost got him for free but went for Robertson in the end and took a hit.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I expected more from you Paul

  29. Return of the FF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah deducted BPS at the death, as is tradition

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He didn't deserve any.

  30. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who's your differential this week?

    Mine is Wood and Weghorst

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Luis Diaz.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sweet

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez. Had him for a few weeks now.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Stupidly sold him last GW. Got Coutinho for him though

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, had a tough call this week on whether to sell Mahrez or Coutinho. Probably should’ve kept Coutinho given the GW30 fixture.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            You sold Coutinho? Wow. He looked like a season keeper right now. Keeping Mahrez is still a great play. I think you will be rewarded

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Villa have a tough little run of fixtures. I’m gambling on Coutinho’s points drying up, but admit it’s a big risk

              1. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah selling is justifiable. Still think he's an easy hold.

    3. andre_c
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      gordon

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wish I have him

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy in goal.

      Do doherty and Kulusevski count as differentials? Less than 10% owned

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not really. 10% if you compared with the dead teams..

    5. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dcl!
      And Alison... Currently 3 points over Robertson and Dijk, so far so good.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nice ones.. DCL can be frustrating though

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I decided that if i buy an Everton forward it was now, because this is the better double, and the 3 games from 31 is ok ish, if they get an extra game, which is likely.

    6. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Robertson, Doherty and Willock have the lowest ownership in my playing XI. White and Raphinha (many benched him) are differentials to some extent.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Robbo and Doh not really, can simply destroy your rank. White and Raph are decently owned.. so you have none 😉

    7. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez, Cancelo, Saint-Maximin
