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.

    5. Roy Hudd
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very lucky that but I guess to be that high rank you have to be maverick somewhat.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        definitely more ballsy than lucky...it's almost all luck regardless

    6. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      nice rank too, top 100 beckons after that imo

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    BAP manipulation time!

  4. SouthCoastSaint

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  5. Rainer

  6. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I don't know about ye but I owned Jota a couple of times and managed to miss out on most of those 2o goals he has...

  7. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do you guys prefer the new or old LiveFPL site design?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Old

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Old

    3. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      FWIW I've changed it back to the old design

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      New, you can change back.

    5. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      the new format is a bit slow to load imo, but it's not bad, didn't Live FPL start existing last season?

    6. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Would not be surprised majority of the answers will be the 'old' one. Need time to get used to new UI, as to any applications.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yes this, new designs tend to take a bit of time to get used to but when you look back later the old one looks so outdated. That said, I quite like the new format

    7. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Like the new one

  8. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Well played those with both Jota and Robbo!

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn’t be too many
      Happy with Robbo Matip wildcard so far, slight edge taken off by captain fail

  9. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So the hit to get Jota and captain him paid off!! 🙂

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Well done for now! Think Kane is going massive though, like brace and 3-4 assist territory

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I got Kane too! No Salah.

        Let Kane go bonkers!! Haha

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Super work

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Well done again mate

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thank you! 🙂

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ballsy and love it...WP!

    4. Roy Hudd
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Extremely lucky that but respect. Very ballsy. Fair play

  10. HD7
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do you think James will come in?

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

      Yeah.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hope not. Broja first on bench.

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        But James can get a goal or an assist for 20-30mins

  11. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Broja substitutes Alexander-Arnold.
    Doherty substitutes Ait-Nouri.
    Dennis substitutes Mahrez.

  12. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone knew why no chabolah?

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsey let's go!

  14. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Kane is going in dry tomorrow, brace yourselves lads and lasses

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wish he'd at least take me to dinner first.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        We FEAST during the annihilation

    2. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      they are not ready

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Coady to come off the bench. Do something!

  16. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    All of a sudden with moving Broja in for TAA last minute the Leeds - Southampton game becomes very important for me with Elyounoussi too. Bit worried by practically everyone in my MLs having a lot at stake in Wolves v Villa while I have no-one

  17. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Kucka has to be one of the worst PL players of all time. Watford fans must have insane patience watching that guy, Sissoko and Cleverley in midfield each week.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Crazy how they decide to start him ahead of King really

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Owners haven’t got a clue. Sacked their first manager after 7 games and appointed two washed up managers after that. Appointing Woy sealed their relegation

  18. jia you
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Chalobah disappointment but...
    KDB(C), Cancelo, Broja, Raphina & Coutinho...lets do this!

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    James had COVID during the week, would above been nice to know!

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I thought that had all changed now though since April and continue to work/play as normal?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Unless he actually had some symptoms

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ah FFS, wouldn't have gone near him if I knew that. Ah well

  20. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Time for alonso to go crazy. 1% EO

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Needed

  21. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Winner of the FA cup could potentially be handed a UCL place but only if they're a 'big club'. Absolutely scandalous. https://twitter.com/TeleFootball/status/1510232485271117826

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They'll already be in the UCL

  22. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Crazy

  23. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bloody hell, down to a non-playing bench already with Jim TAA and Saiss.

  24. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Gutted doesn’t look like robo gets any BPS

  25. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So far, then I will have Bavies hopefully coming in for TAA and Ramsey for James if he doesn’t come on later.

    Capped Kane too.

    Going to be interesting to see what transpires.

  26. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Maupay in for Trent, Broja in for James potentially..

  27. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Took -4 last minute for James lol…

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I did for Chalobah...feel like a right idiot but at least he was cheap

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Don't worry, all my rivals took a hit for him so he will come on and score

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Oh we fools

  28. jia you
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    It's amazing how quiet FFS becomes when Salah blanks lol

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Haha

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Surprisingly low amount of in the mud posts

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I got to hope that Kane & Son duo is going to pull me out of it.

      2. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Everyone is in the mud right?

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Nah, I had Robbo 🙂 and Kane C

      3. Josh.E
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        tbf you are always here rubbing it in when Salah blanks lol

      4. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You need people that actually capitalized on him who want to gloat. I don't think many people really did risk it this week in the end.

    3. el polako
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, you can hear the ranks dropping.

    4. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Klopp's fault, he would have had a pen at 89min

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        count your blessings...he'd have missed

        1. El Presidente
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe but doubt it

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Season over for me haha

    6. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On the brightside we’re not ranked 600k 😉

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        ...and I bet your team isn't even linked haha

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Salah non cappers unite

    We LOVE to see it oh yes we do

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Weghorst probably just gets one more point though

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He's likes a YC tbh, so could match him

    2. EffPeeEll
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      what can go wrong?

      I'm sure it went pete tong the last time I was in this position.

      Happy that Pool are top (temporarily perhaps) with Mo duly blanking.

  30. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sooo... We all want 0-0 in the Burnley - City match, right?

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I want Cancelo to get cs plus goal\assist.

    2. EffPeeEll
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I do.
