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.

    Everyone all aboard Son and Kane now?

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

      Yep Kane (TC)

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Brave move, could be massive!

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

        Yep held my nerve too

  2. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Did anyone see what it was, ankle or knee injury?

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

      After he scored pen he said something to Hendo about his foot.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah he was explaining something to Klopp too. Back of his knee maybe?

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

          Maybe, he definitely felt something.

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

      Left knee

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah looked that way

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think ankle

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So in conclusion nobody knows illustrated by the contradictory guesswork below.v

  3. Geriatric Unathletic

    I'll settle for that x 3 C after the first 50 mins, lol :).

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

      Hmmm

  4. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What was Salahs injury? Not watching the game.

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

      Back of the knee

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

    He doesn't look too bad, might be alright for Arsenal.

    But it looks unlikely he'll match his 28pt haul last DGW against NOR LEE.

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see him being risked when you have Jota and Bobby to step in

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

        Not risked? Liverpool have to win each game to stay in touch with man city. He will play vs arsenal if not injured

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

        Lol what

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

      Amen

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

      Don’t need him to match that

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    He has played a crazy amount of minutes this season.

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

    Screw this game man.

  8. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I was getting rid of Salah this week anyway and doing Hokey Cokey with son

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I mean next week

    2. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone with kane doh kulu now needs a -4

  9. Planet Jo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    At least he's off now. Attention goes over to Kane captainers...

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

      Hi

  10. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I know I lose rank but if Salah was about to fail then I was going to feel even worse cause I should have captained Kane

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

    Salah cs banked :p
    Not ideal but as a TCer it'll have to do. Just hope he's back for an Arsenal haul

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

    Is Salah subbing just a pre caution?

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

      Most likely, but too early to tell.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Injured

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

        Knock

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

      Probably. Important Arsenal game up next.

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

      lol

    5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to know. One thing for certain is that he rarely misses a minute and generally plays all 90. I think he's a doubt for Arsenal

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

      He was walking off, albeit limping, so can't have been that serious.

      We'll have to wait for news. They'll probably do scans etc tomorrow.

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

    Could be Salahs last ever game for Liverpool.

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

      Stop

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

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

      he's not even injured. Salah will have another 9 games and then hopefully be sold in the summer

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sell to United?

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

    Incredible, mane TC two seasons ago and now salah tc this

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

      You got points this time.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

      Salah scored

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane TC was 1pter. At least Salah got 8.

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

      Salah scored

    5. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      What do you mean? Salah TC this season was a major success.

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

      Be happy he got a penalty before the injury!

    7. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did u Wildcard in 26?

  15. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I didn’t captain Salah so if he doesn’t play the second game then will be absolutely delighted if he ends up on 8 points.

  16. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah no bonus

  17. Feloh

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

      How many actually tc salah? I thought majority tc him vs the 2 worst teams leeds and norwich at home rather than brighton and arsenal away.

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

        24% of the top 10k.

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

        GW 26 wildcard was a thing back then. Some big fpl shots wildcarded and pulled the masses with them, so decent amout of TC now.

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years

      Thanks all for the clarity!

    3. el polako

      How many points he had ? must have missed his game.

      1. Bojam
        • 8 Years

        salty

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

          Why salty ? Kane is my captain but I'm not counting my chickens yet - its fpl anything can happen.

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

    Brighton goal would be huge here.

    Double clean sheets everywhere, Salah would be on GWG - 11 vs 8 points.

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

    Bps are a cheat. I’ve actively taken notes on this game. Salah being ahead of Diaz is a farce. He has missed two big opportunists and Diaz has created 1 potentially 2. He also has score match winning goal so far. I don’t know how they get away with this bias. Completed/misplaced passes etc are all there to see also. Recoveries bla bla

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

      Noticed this too, which is annoying for Diaz owner.

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

        Very confusing I’m not sure how they’ve worked this one out

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

      The whole system needs revamping and I’ve highlighted it to fpl.
      Hopefully they will do something about it in time for next season

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

        I like the old system of subjective assigning of bps. Then players like Henderson or keita could be awarded bps.
        Like in uefa cl but there is only player of match who gets 3 points.

  26. lewis274
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    so annoyed about that salah penalty, as a kane TC’er. he was awful throughout and scored a petty penalty, and will probably
    get undeserved bonus now.

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

      you could say the same thing when Kane plays.

      1. lewis274
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        but kane does stuff to deserve BPS, eg drop deep get the ball start attacks, brilliant passing. whereas salah misses 3 big chances, scores a pen then gets bonus

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

          Salah could still lose his bps.

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

      Chill its all good if Kane outscores him, if anything one Salah return is optimal

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

      He hit the crossbar, missed 2 big chances and went off injured for the first time in over 3 years. Consider yourself lucky

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

      Yep annoying as f

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

      Green eyes?

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

    Kululevski, Martinelli, Podence or Barnes?

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

    Optimal events for far for us Kane Kaptainers/TKers, Salah return to keep the points total up and Kane to outscore him.

    Be a shame if Salah DGW is over though 🙁

    Arsenal away is a tough game for Liverpool.I think that Salah will start even with injections.

      Diaz/Jota more than capable

        Pot noodle also capable of filling me up, but I'd rather Vermicelli + Kung Po

      60 mins then rest for the Egypt games vs Senegal.

      Depends how bad it is, looked a precautionary subbing.

    Salah 100% rested with an eye on city game
