Liverpool v Watford gets Gameweek 31 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway at Anfield. Kick-off is at 12:30 BST.

It’s a match that features the most-owned and most-captained player among the top 10,000 FPL managers, Mohamed Salah.

And the Egyptian starts this afternoon, despite racking up over 200 minutes of game-time with his country over the international break.

He is one of four changes that Jurgen Klopp has made from the Gameweek 29 win over Arsenal.

Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez and Curtis Jones also return, as Fabinho, Sadio Mane, Luis Diaz and the fit-again Trent Alexander-Arnold drop to the bench.

Watford haven’t been in action for almost three weeks, with their last match being a 2-1 win at Southampton in mid-March.

Roy Hodgson has unsurprisingly kept changes to a minimum after that victory, with only one alteration to his starting XI: Ismaila Sarr is recalled, as Emmanuel Dennis drops to the bench.


GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Henderson, Thiago, Salah, Firmino, Jota.

Subs: Fabinho, Konate, Milner, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Tsimikas, Diaz, Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Kabasele, Samir, Kamara, Sissoko, Louza, Kucka, Sarr, Joao Pedro, Hernandez.

Subs: Ngakia, King, Cleverley, Masina, Sema, Cathcart, Dennis, Bachmann, Kayembe.

      From a TAA position!

    JOTAAA!!

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      So overlooked

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        For good reason considering he's only started 1 game over the last 6 games

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Liverpool goal

  5. Cilly Bonnolly

    That’s fine.

  6. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Jota G
    Gomez A

  7. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Anyone spoken to Pep recently? Need KDB & Cancelo to start

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Gomez crossing like that and able to defend...

    Does Trent get back in the team?

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Low quality bait.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Nah Trent is done!! Finished!!

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Hearing he's in talks with Norwich as we speak

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Thought Jota had retired?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      No

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Jota train pulling out of the station...

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    TAA more likely to stay on the bench now

    1. Oggle22
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      He'll get half an hour

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Doesn't make that much of a difference. If he needs minutes in his legs ahead of UCL he'll come on regardless.

  11. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    What a cross though

  12. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Gomez crossing it like Trent.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Foster great Superman impression

  13. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Omg can't believe Salah blanked after 20mins

  14. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    TAA assist

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      funny

  15. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    If TAA plays RB perhaps Gomez can play on the RW?

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

      Salah is due a dropping.

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Alisson Blunderland looks like happening today.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Doubt it

  17. Jock Grealish
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    JGA

  18. jacob1989

    Salah looking really poor since afcon. Just c hum bcoz he is playing watford. Has he even touched the ball?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Thought I had a pretty safe bet on 1+ SoT from him today
      Not sure now!

  19. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Could turn sour yet but glad I have Jota instead of Salah

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Could turn beautifully

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Nobody cares

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Just this week or for how long have you had Jota over Salah

    4. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      FFS mate, you don’t SAY it.

  20. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Salah is one of the worst players to ever grace this Liverpool team. He's arguably been worse than Bernard Diomede.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      ok

    2. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Controversial

  21. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Bottled (C)ancelo for Salah last minute. Kicking myself right now

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Game over? ok

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        No. But Salah looks poor thus far. Ok

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Still time, cancelo hasnt even played, may not even

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Good chance Cancelo is benched

      1. Root
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        %?

  22. SH1M1
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    When was the last time Salah scored from open play ?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      v newcastle

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      During AFCON? December for Liverpool.

  23. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Worrying now that salah and mane get 45 mins each?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      eh no

  24. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Hopefully a better second half on the cards. This has been pretty poor.

  25. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Almost TC Salah who I thought would come back with a vengeance. Happy I didn’t so far.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      So far. jog on.

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Jota wastes Robbo assist

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Would've been a Matip assist.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Needs to be jailed ffs 😛

  27. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    So everybody read that Arnold leak except me.So frustrated.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Was never starting

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      It was pretty late on to be fair, within about 3 mine of the deadline

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        no it wasn't

  28. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Odds of a Salah G, Gerrard A?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      92% in universe number 53, 0% in this

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      odds that you stfu?

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        odds of this being the stupidest post ever

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 13 days ago

          this differentiator guy is a dumbass. Get him banned

            • 10 Years
            4 years, 13 days ago

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      Odds that you do the same?

  29. Jet5605

    4 years, 13 days ago

    Salah will be in a major huff if Klopp hauls him off before he has scored.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      He’s been useless and shouldn’t have any complaints but of course he’ll cry and whine like a spoilt child.

  30. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 13 days ago

    Sigh Salah. Might as well have not broken my always captain a DGWer rule

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 13 days ago

      game over ok

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 13 days ago

        You’ve already used that one doofus

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 13 days ago
