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, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

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

    6. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      nice rank too, top 100 beckons after that imo

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    BAP manipulation time!

  4. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Broja not flagged for Chelsea game? Odd

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Will be soon

  5. Rainer

  6. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 days 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, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

      Old

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Old

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

      FWIW I've changed it back to the old design

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      New, you can change back.

    5. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days 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, 5 days 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, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

      Like the new one

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

    Well played those with both Jota and Robbo!

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

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

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

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

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        I got Kane too! No Salah.

        Let Kane go bonkers!! Haha

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

          Super work

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

      Well done again mate

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Thank you! 🙂

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Ballsy and love it...WP!

    4. Roy Hudd
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Extremely lucky that but respect. Very ballsy. Fair play

  10. HD7
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Do you think James will come in?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Yeah.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Hope not. Broja first on bench.

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

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

  11. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

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

  12. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Anyone knew why no chabolah?

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Ramsey let's go!

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

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

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

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

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

        We FEAST during the annihilation

    2. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      they are not ready

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Coady to come off the bench. Do something!

  16. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days 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, 5 days 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. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Crazy how they decide to start him ahead of King really

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

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

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

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

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

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

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 5 days ago

          Unless he actually had some symptoms

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

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

    2. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Time for alonso to go crazy. 1% EO

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Needed

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

        They'll already be in the UCL

    4. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Crazy

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

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

    6. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Gutted doesn’t look like robo gets any BPS

    7. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 days 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.

    8. Kodap
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

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

    9. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Took -4 last minute for James lol…

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

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

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 days 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, 5 days ago

          Oh we fools

    10. jia you
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

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

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Haha

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

        Surprisingly low amount of in the mud posts

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

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

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          Everyone is in the mud right?

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

            Nah, I had Robbo 🙂 and Kane C

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

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

        4. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 5 days 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
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Yeah, you can hear the ranks dropping.

      4. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

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

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          count your blessings...he'd have missed

          1. El Presidente
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 days ago

            Maybe but doubt it

      5. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Season over for me haha

      6. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        On the brightside we’re not ranked 600k 😉

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

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

    11. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Salah non cappers unite

      We LOVE to see it oh yes we do

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Weghorst probably just gets one more point though

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

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

      2. EffPeeEll
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 days 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.

    12. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

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

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        I want Cancelo to get cs plus goal\assist.

      2. EffPeeEll
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        I do.

        #selfish

        Weghorst hattrick
