Fulham v Liverpool team news: Darwin benched

Gameweek 1 of the 2022/23 Premier League season continues at Craven Cottage this Saturday lunchtime, where newly promoted Fulham take on Liverpool.

Kick-off in west London is at 12:30 BST.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) might not be the most-owned player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) but he is by some distance the most-captained of the opening weekend, with just short of 3.3 million Fantasy managers handing him the armband.

He’s the only player whose effective ownership (EO) exceeds 100% in Gameweek 1, meaning that even if you have him but haven’t captained him, you’ll be marginally worse off for every point he scores.

There are plenty of other well-owned players on show at the Cottage, with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) in around 60% of squads and Luis Diaz (£8.0m) sitting in more than one in five of our sides.

All of these Fantasy assets start this afternoon but the 20%-owned Darwin Nunez (£9.0m) does not, with the Uruguayan forced to make do with bench duty once again as Roberto Firmino (£8.0m) leads the line.

Bar the recall for the fit-again Alisson (£5.5m), Liverpool are unchanged from the Community Shield last weekend.

As for Fulham, new signings Bernd Leno (£4.5m), Shane Duffy (£4.5m), Kevin Mbabu (£4.5m) and Manor Solomon are all among the substitutes.

Andreas Pereira (£4.5m) does start, however: he is, remarkably, FPL’s second most-owned midfielder, although he’ll be serving as bench fodder for over 90% of his owners this weekend.


GAMEWEEK 1 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Rodak, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Reid, Pereira, Kebano, Mitrovic.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years

    Liverpool's opening game last season ended 4-3 as well.

    Lol what a dive

  8. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    Big at the back sucks

  9. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    No surprises from Conte.

  10. Who let Udogie out?
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Mitrovic or Darwin for GW2?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Both!

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Both

    3. RICICLE
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Neither

  11. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Good to see that a promoted side gets that penalty. Usually those only get given to Top 4 sides.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Not really when it wasn't a pen

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        It was a pen

  12. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I am just feeling sick about 'upgrading' Mitrovic to Wilson a couple of days before the deadline.

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I have had Mitrovic since the first draft.

      But he is my 2nd sub, needed Perisic and one other not to play but they all are.

      White is 3rd sub too, I did think about bench boosting.

  13. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    fcksake I have Alison, Pool are trash

  14. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Contact does not = foul.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      If you go for the ball and miss it and make contact it’s a foul

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        It isn't.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          That’s a foul lad

  15. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Mitro bandwagon

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Shhh, I want to keep as my differential!

  16. mezza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Bailey starts but no Watkins

  17. lindeg
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    How is Salah keeping that assist? It touched by two Fulham players before Nunez scores, one of them being a significant touch?!

  18. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Nice to see Mitrovic doing well. If it hadn’t been Liverpool first up I’d have had him in. Definitely on watchlist when I move from Halaand to KDB

  19. just a man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Jesus Virgil sticking his leg out like that against someone as slow as Mitro

  20. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    WC to bring in mitro and nunez

  21. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I’m saying it right now - I’m not buying Mitro right now. But I’d best save up the best part of 7mil for when I do

  22. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Perisic Bench

    If your team play against Liverpool, attack from Trent's side. Even Fulham can score two from that side. Trent cant defend.

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Got to get mitrovic in now. Wolves are woeful

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't let a dodgy pen away your judgement

  25. EL TANO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  26. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    How long until the Salah assist is removed?

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Looks like it's staying, but outrageous.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      It will stay, FPL towers always cheat like this, they will find a way to give Salah baps also

  27. Neto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I was right not to double up on Liverpool defence

  28. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Lmfao! Mitrovic same ol' naff goal celebration!

  29. Piggs Boson

    Finally the hills are without eyes
    They are tired of painting a dead man's face red
    With their own blood
    They used to love having so much to lose
    Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins

  30. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Salah goal, Robertson assist for the equaliser would be great
