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

    Is Mateta likely to start one or two games in 37?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Think I’m benching. He should start one though

        Thanks mate. Playing BB so need to play him.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Probably starts one and second from the bench

        2. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          At the moment I have him starting so I need him to start both and deliver some sort of return

          BSO, hope you are destroying those hedge fund dudes 😎

            ML leader about 8 pts ahead of me but has FH next week...will take a hit or two and hope for the best thanks.

            1. NorCal Villan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Crush them!!!

                What would you do with this lot? Still have BB.
                Thinking 8ph Mount out for Zaha (good in 38), Ramsdale out for Pickford and Gelhardt out for Nketia (2 pts better than nothing.)
                Would love to have Richy but would have to sell Kane. Not such a good idea with next two match ups. 1FT .2mib. Cheers Norcal!

                Ramsdale - Dubravka
                Alonso - Matip- TAA - White - Cancelo
                Saka - Mount - Son - Salah - DH
                Kane - Mateta - Gelhardt

                1. NorCal Villan
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Don’t sell Kane. I like the moves suggested and would expect more than 2 from Nketiah. This is just my take, not down with Richarlison. Don’t want that dude near my team

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

                    Thanks mate. Also feel I should hold Kane.

  2. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If you owned Coutinho would you keep or sell to a Zaha or Maddison?

    Does Buendia start at the weekend?

    Cheers.

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

      Gerrard mentioned rotation between the two so that's probably a good guess.

      Zaha looks good for the last two GWs!

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, looking at Mount to Zaha myself probably

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

      Coutinho starts at weekend on basis he has a blinding second half to condem Liverpool to more title heartache.

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

        But being serious, I'd keep because he still probably plays at least a game and a bit in 37, and fixtures are kind. Find someone else to replace with Zaha

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

    F off Klopp. Hope you lose CL & PL you annoying…

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah c?

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

        Yeah but still annoying

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

      Salah TC?

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

      Salah QC?

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No Salah A no Salah B no Salah . . . E??

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

        Quality Control?

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

      Robbo TC?

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

      Great if you bench boosted

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

    Who will get more points in Gw37 and Gw38...Watkins or Kane

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

      Seriously? Kane.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Watkins didn’t have City 38 I might have said him but Kane got to be favoured with two plum fixtures

  5. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Let’s be honest bar the start of the season salah has been pretty poor

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

      Lazers have ended him.

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

      Poor by his standards you mean. 258 points is still a lot.

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

        Oh crap, I checked and he's just 2 points away from his second best FPL season.

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

      It's been a while, since AFCON

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Helps that Liverpool have been awarded the most penalties in PL history. Only 4 for Salah this season however.

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

      And he’s apparently demanding almost Maguire level wages. I’d be tempted to just cash in if I was Liverpool. They’ve already got so many great players in those positions

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

        Agreed 100%

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

      AFCON broke him

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

    Cout imitating his manager

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

    commentators must get fined if they criticise Liverpool lol
    Van dijk getting praised when nutmegged

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

      It’s the in thing to kiss Liverpool’s bum all day… has been for a few seasons now

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

        Fact!
        Superbly, brilliantly, incredible, terrific, impressive, for some of the most average things they're doing
        Villa getting very little praise here!

  8. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As a Jota owner this is the point in the game where you start hoping he makes 60.

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

      Mane needs the rest more.

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

      He hasn’t done a whole lot tonight have him myself

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    carragher getting desperate

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

      Only dogs can hear him now

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

    TAA pushing up into midfield a lot but hasn't been great

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

    Ings has put in some shift. Would want to be getting subbed soon though to be a Free Hit option!

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

    Get me a save point at least Allison

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

    Liverpool's confidence is shot to piece's, they'll be lucky to win anything this season now, can't see them beating real now, F.A cup looks unlikely now as well, from one of the best teams in the world, playing world class football, to this shambles

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

      You’re getting me all excited

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Might be a slight over reaction

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

      They have lost PL, Klopp is saving Salah.

  14. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bloody Marvellous.

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

    At what point does Gerrard tell his Villa team to throw the game?

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

      Or someone just ‘slips’ over to let Liverpool in

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see him doing that tbf

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

    Oh no, hang on, thiago about to show he's the dogs but sack, quality player, let's see if he can steady this sinking ship

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

    2 out of 3...

    Could it be No Salah?

  18. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah stopped warming up

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

      Sat back down now

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Balls

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Time for this season to end already

  20. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Klopp has lost his mind. Mane up top and Jota on the wing does not work. Inexcusable to Not turn to Mo at this stage.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Your reverse jinx was well timed

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      Shhhhhhhh

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        That was meant to be a laugh crying emoji

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

    6. Baps Hunter

    Pool top scorers since Feb

    Mane 12

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

      It’s the Salah fear though =[

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years

      It’s Salah over now, baby blue

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Time for Digne to top his night off now.

  29. TomSaints
    • 8 Years

      In college basketball this year DePaul University had a player named Courvoisier McCauley. Alas, DePaul had no one named Hennessy
