Double Gameweek 36 continues this evening and there is plenty of interest in both sides from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Aston Villa v Liverpool gets underway at Villa Park at 20:00 BST.

Mohamed Salah finds himself among the substitutes for the visitors, while Andrew Robertson misses out completely.

Salah is the most-captained player of Gameweek 36 both overall and within the top 10,000, with 84.46% of the leading managers handing him the armband:

The premium pair are among five players who drop out of Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI from Saturday’s draw against Tottenham Hotspur.

Also making way are Ibrahima Konate, Jordan Henderson and Thiago, with Joel Matip, Kostas Tsimikas, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota taking their places.

Roberto Firmino makes his return as a substitute after six matches out with a foot injury.

Steven Gerrard, meanwhile, makes two changes from the 3-1 win at Burnley, including a recall for Philippe Coutinho against his former club.

Marvelous Nakamba also comes into the starting XI, with Calum Chambers and Emiliano Buendia dropping to the bench.


GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Nakamba, McGinn, Luiz, Coutinho, Ings, Watkins

Subs: Olsen, Sanson, Buendia, Traore, Chambers, Young, Chukwuemeka, Chrisene, Iroegbunam

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Keita, Jones, Diaz, Jota, Mane

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Thiago, Milner, Firmino, Salah, Gomez, Henderson, Origi

    Pressure on Liverpool telling last few weeks, defensively looking very very vulnerable all of a sudden, I'm feeling a bit sorry for them

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

      I don’t like them to be completely honest

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They've always looked at the very least a bit vulnerable against the right teams that know how (and have the players) to expose their high line

  8. Rainer

    Jon Moss needs subbing!

    1. GENERATION X

      More like a trip to Subway at HT

  9. KanuLenoMeeMoCash

    John Moss a Liverpool fan?

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

      Aren't all the refs?

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

      I think so - absolutely hates Utd too.

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

    How is Moss still a referee? Like there needs to be some sort of legit yearly review of these clowns.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He is 50+, thought refs usually retire by then

      1. GENERATION X

        Target weight is 45 stone

      His boss is his mate, they aren't held accountable. Bad decision this week, don't worry, get a game next week...

      It'll never improve as it is!

    3. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Refa need a proper back up team as well, everyone on here could do a better job of var, rugby have got it sorted, you can hear refs reasoning, someone in their ear will tell them what they miss, at least then we'd know why they are making some strange decisions (shite)

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

      At least Mike Dean is finished this season

  11. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why are refs fat, unfit and losing their sight? Doesn’t make much sense….

    If they weren’t so incompetent, there wouldn’t be such an outcry for systems like VAR… which unfortunately are once again controlled by ageing men who are losing control of their crucial senses

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

      He will retire, relax.

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

        There’s not an excuse. When there’s so much riding on games in the prem in terms of revenue and more importantly history for fans, can’t just let these old codgers have one last run out for the sake of nostalgia

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

      So who would you have referee matches - give me a profile of the perfect ref (and I'll show you a fallible one).

      1. CheesyZoot

      2. GENERATION X

        Ex pros if you could pay them enough

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Top refs have many years experience before reaching PL level. Ex pros would be about 50 before they started.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 1 month ago

            They come out with total nonsense all the time, often with the hindsight of having seen a slow.mo replay!

          Howard Webb was exceptional but standards have really gone backwards since him

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

            Yes he was, missed

        Would be on Digne, but he didn't get even yellow, so no chance of RC.

      Which footballer's surname would be best with the first name Marvellous?

      Koch is a fairly obvious starter.

      1. Herger

      Have exact cash to do Saka to Zaha on a free transfer. Would you do it?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        See how he looks on thu. I'd be tempted.

        That was my planned move until I was priced out last night, go for it

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

        Not now. Zaha has already risen in price and price changes expected anytime soon for either.

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

          NO price changes near... Still time for other players to get injured. Wait.

      4. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. Its gw37. Why not. Zaha scores more.

        On Scrabble. Can you not just buy a couple of letters?

      1. Herger

        Bet the ref does nothing in response

        1. fantasyfog
          • 11 Years

          Wow lol so definitely a utd fan 😉

            Lol that one was actually a reply fail from me - I don’t really want him punished for needing a wee 😆

              That would ge a bit harsh lol

                • 4 Years

                Haha definitely! Not even I could bring myself to dish out a card to him for that

        What price Haaland next season? I’m going 11.5

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Above

          • AIRMILES
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I was thinking 12.0

          • Herger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I think maybe 12.5

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

              My guess too.

          • Arteta
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            11.5 or 12.0

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Same as Kane IMO so players can easily switch btw the 2 early doors. All about keeping active players

        2. GoonerGirl

          Aww thank you Matip, helped saved my BB, slightly lol

          1. Firminooooo
            • 10 Years

            Same.

        3. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'm starting to be worried about Liverpool rotation. If they drop points here they could be out of the title race and if they play 120 mins in the final, rotation comes back to become a problem.

          The other issue is that they play the FA Cup final before GW37 so any injuries that happen we can't prepare for. If Salah or TAA get a knock they'll probably not play and that's a significant amount of our budget on FH gone.

          Maybe just Salah is enough...

          Pickford
          Cancelo Digne Konsa
          Salah KdB Son Gordon
          Kane Richarlison Watkins

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I'm thinking I'll sell salah to fund kane for gw38.

            1. THFC4LIFE
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Thinking the same.

              Gw37. Salah to Zaha

              Gw38 Broja to Kane and Coutinho to Kulu for triple attack

          2. CheesyZoot
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            It’s a touch decision because Southampton are pants.

            Klopp has now rested Salah and won’t want him rusty for the big games.

            It’s a blessing we can see the cup final before deadline… let’s see what happens on Saturday then decide

          3. EL_FENOMENO
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Salah to Kdb for me easily

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

            Don't win tonight, City win tomorrow & those who didn't rest tonight may do vs Southampton.

            Deadline after the final could be huge for FH. 120 mins for Salah or Trent, with them results, means avoid!

          5. Mr. O'Connell
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Isn't the deadline for GW37 after the cup final (i.e. Sunday)? Sure you won't get the pre-match press conference, but you won't exactly be picking players blind.

            1. Mr. O'Connell
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Forget that. See you obv meant before the fixture, not the deadline.

            2. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Oh yeah didn't realize that...

              I'll probably pick up either Jota or Diaz then - whoever doesn't start the final.

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

                Diaz must start in Final.

          6. Salan
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I am even considering to remove Salah this season

        4. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          For the "biggest" DGW of the season, I'm on for my lowest score of the season. 25 points with just KDB, Son and Cancelo to play if Salah doesn't get on here.

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

            Salah will be on so prepare yourself for the dizzy heights of 26/27 points.

          2. Scots Gooner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            That’s got to be some terrible luck. What’s your team?

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

            If Liverpool haven't scored soon he'll be on fairly quickly.

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

            It’s been a horror show, like much of this season haha

          5. Salan
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            You have KDB, Son, Cancelo, but only 25 points now?

            I can't get this.

                A -8 plus a load of duds (Tavares, Pukki, Krul, Alonso). Best part was removing Sterling.

          Keita nutting himself is one of the silkiest things I’ve seen all season

            He's definitely being moved on after his last few performance's, Klopp will definitely move him on

            City have the rights to VAR this season.
