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.

    LIVarpool must have forgot their instalment this month for VAR

    All those times salah dived and won penalties you would think they would have set some money aside

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Oh.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Hmm, nobody bit 🙁

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      There was a really interesting article about how Salah actually averages a foul against him once every 1.5 to 2 games - not even one per game

  2. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Guys it's not a red card because the goal was scored relax

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Could have given a YC without having VAR checking it out.

  3. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Egyptian Pennant gonna blank here

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      EO > 200% so never mind

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Really didn't fancy him much for these two fixtures, tbh. The DGW in GW26 was far superior.

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Goes without saying

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah. Son & Kane will feast

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 days ago

          Kane, Doherty and Kulusevski you mean?

  4. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Peter Schmeichel would’ve been sent off every week if that is a red

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Peter played for United.

  5. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Nearly THE perfect goal!

    1. Ode
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Nearly? That went over the stadium

  6. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Absolutely never a red card - yellow for sure but never a red!

    1. FPLCEO
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      That leg could have caused serious damage.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        'Could' have....it didn't.

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 10 days ago

          So you just judge a dangerous tackle on outcome?

          1. bring_on _the_fantasy
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 10 days ago

            Nope i'm saying it was never ever a red.

          2. Utopsis
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 10 days ago

            Crazy - wait for broken legs before dishing out reds

  7. FPLCEO
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Matip to Dias…..of course it’s the one defender and one attacker no one has.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      So perfect in other words. It's sad having Liverpool players and wanting them to blank because of rank and ownership.

  8. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Can we have a VVD (I don’t have covid) goal please?

  9. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Diaz is some player

  10. Ode
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Not captaining Salah on a DGW is not good for mental health

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      😮

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Not owning him GW3 to GW7 was vomit inducing

    3. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      true, I feel like I've taken a -12

  11. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Salah rugby drop goal attempt

  12. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    The 4.9 I spent on Matip looking great value

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Nice!

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Where did you get the surgery done?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        😆

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        I’d need to spend more than that

      3. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Hahaha

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      For this DGW or before it?

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        This.

    4. Ode
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Was thinking of getting him too but could get rotated with Konate

  13. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Salahs touch just not on it so far today

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Been off form for ages.

      Head not right after AFCON and with contact hassle.

  14. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Only (C) because of FOMO... Have Kane, could have gone there, but Salahs ownership and some people TC'd him made it difficult going against.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Not even a quarter way through his gameweek…

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        I wrote this because I don't want my C to do anything (or if he does, doesn't matter that much) and that's just sad.

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        *game

      3. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Nothing to do with believing Kane will outscore Salah... I just hate that I (C) some player out of fear and if he does well it doesn't matter much for my rank or ML.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Wow mane so selfish

    Salah free on the right and not passing

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Mane didn't TC Salah.

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Mane back to being selfish. Salah was free

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Senegal > Egypt

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Salah hates Sun next half he would score

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Everyone hates The Sun….scum newspaper…..

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        😀

      2. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        The lowest of the low. The fact that it's the country's best selling newspaper is such a sad indictment on British culture.

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Mane nice pass to Sanchez

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Should be rested at half time for Jota

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        I concur

  20. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    I now see why Trossard doesn't start so often, what a frustrating player.

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Brighton haven't got better though, so I don't see it

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    This game has been flat.

    Was everyone out getting smashed in Brighton last night?

  22. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Didn’t expect the EO to be over 200%. Wish I’d gone Kane Captain

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Ditto

  23. HD7
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    What is your Man United - Spurs score prediction?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      2-2

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Neither make top four……

    3. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      0-1 Dalot goal, because he's my 3rd sub.

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        1-0 rather

      1-6

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

        The disrespect towards United is unreal. They ain't that bad.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 days ago

          I've lost faith in them. If they play a high line, I think they'll be slaughtered.

    9. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  25. Scapegoat Salah

    Trent SOT

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Would make a change from all the SOT players going to Liverpool…..

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Salah sighting.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      On target = + BPS

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Salah involved in passing practice with sanchez

  28. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Let's go Salah, do something!

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Big man Bakar Salah TC after trying to convince people to go Kane Captain

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Wow

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Sneaky. Gonna call the Police

  30. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Salah will blank in both games. He can't handle all the backlash from the media and fans criticising him for being money-grubbing.
