The final Premier League match of the day is an unusual 7.45pm BST kick-off and sees Liverpool entertain struggling Leeds United.

Erling Haaland has almost had the monopoly on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) captaincy for the last couple of months but an old armband favourite, Mohamed Salah, will be carrying the hopes of legions of FPL bosses tonight.

Over 1.25 million managers made Salah their skipper outright ahead of Saturday’s deadline but there’ll be plenty of others who are relying on the Egyptian as their vice-captain after Haaland’s earlier no-show.

Above: Overall captaincy and vice-captaincy picks in Gameweek 13 (via LiveFPL)

Salah starts as expected this evening and, if Jurgen Klopp is sticking with the 4-4-2 diamond he used at Ajax in midweek, FPL’s most expensive asset will again be playing through the middle of the hosts’ attack alongside Darwin Nunez.

The Reds’ side is about as full strength as Klopp can go this evening, with Thiago Alcantara recovering from an ear infection to start.

He takes the place of Jordan Henderson, who drops to the bench.

Leeds are without the injured Luis Sinisterra but the myriad other first-teamers who were yellow-flagged for this match are mostly fit, with Rodrigo, Liam Cooper, Tyler Adams and Joe Gelhardt all making the matchday squad.

Adams is one of three players recalled by Jesse Marsch for this one, with Crysencio Summerville and Rasmus Kristensen also getting the nod.

Luke Ayling and Sam Greenwood drop to the bench.

    Gomez, Alisson & SalahC, 17 points 🙁

    1. Magic Zico

      That's LIV assets these days

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ones going tonight 🙂

  2. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fortunately only got one Pool player, but that's still one too many these days.

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah fail imo

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Was so close to captaining Saka, bottled it!

    2. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think with haaland not playing, captainers of Salah will still be reasonably pleased however for his price he is not performing at all. Liverpool overall are terrible so it’s not just him

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Over Kane and Haaland I’ll take it.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would Salah owners stick or twist on Saka (c) if they could?

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Stick. 14 points, I'll take it.

    5. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      kind of, though a big Salah haul was there if Nunez finished that chance laid on a plate. Mane would have gobbled that up.

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

    Hopefully just about stay up and maybe go on a cup run if possible.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      So basically back to the Benitez/Houllier days, or?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This is Roy Hodgson levels...

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Hodgson's defence was fairly solid.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Theybcan’t play twice a week. FSG either spend some money or Klopp will leave.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, they're dead mentally & physically.

  5. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Feeling lucky that my last minute Haaland > Nunez didn't go through, hehr

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bless the crash

  6. g40steve

    Salah, Foden, Toney > KDB, Wilson ???

    A Miggy

    B Trossard

    Current team,

    Alisson,
    Trippier, Cancelo, Saliba,
    Bowen, Foden, Martineli, Salah, Andreas
    Toney, Hauland

    .4

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I am on a green arrow but withut Martinelli and Saka and no United or West Ham. Probably it's best to go on a long walk and not to check scores at all.

    Salah could have been the saviour but he disappointed again

    Thank god for Almiron again

  8. Orion
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Should I go Jesus to Wilson right now ?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Toney to Wilson done.

  9. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saka to haul big tomorrow

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      2 points

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes please mate!! Got the armband on him!!!

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hope so- got captaincy on him

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Happy with that

    5. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well, someone needs to haul tomorrow…hopefully him (C)

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bowen

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I’ll take that too … Saka (c) Bowen Martinelli and white to go.

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My (c), not owned by my ML rivals, will take 8+ points

  10. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Does LiveFPL reflect auto sub and auto vice captain scores ?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Scroll down, it shows post and pre sub ranks

  11. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fair play to Leeds way more efficient with their chances. Lovely finish for the winner. Meslier was class but still Pool should have scored more from all those chanced. Their defence is a shambles.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They literally need 20 shots a game to score. No width without Jota or Diaz.

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        They don't need 20 shots per game. They need to smell blood better and take their chances better. Mane is a big loss. So is Diaz ironically playing where Mane is. Jota doesn't convince me. He can be too casual in games, looks good in games where Pool are doing well in. Don't see him dragging them to wins they barely deserve like Salah can. Better off working on Nunez. Has to improve his skills but has the aggression needed.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Teams aren’t scared of Liverpool anymore

  12. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha to Almiron or Mitro to Wilson?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      M to W

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Henderson Ward
    Trippier Gabriel Saliba Andersen Neco
    Salah Foden Martinelli Almiron Pereira
    Haaland Firmino Wilson

    1FT

    Which move do I make
    Foden > KDB
    Firmino > Darwin

  14. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    They need to drop Nunez and admit they made a mistake

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would rather play with 10 men than have Nunez in the team

    2. Bishopool
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Attack seems decent. Problem seems to be with defencive mids and of course defence itself.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Attack with Nunez decent? Please!

        1. Bishopool
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Nunez has lots of chances and shots. He even scores pretty regularly. Yes, he has these weird shelfish moments, but he is solid attacker.

    3. DMP
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C mon. Salah scored 40 per season. This season even he cant find his score boots. Nunez scored more in less minutes.

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Salah and Nunez can’t play together. Well of course they literally can but Nunez needs a shape that is different to the one Liverpool have. Right now they’re just accommodating him and he’s being a liability.

        1. FPL Brains
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Couldn't agree more.

          Liverpool's decisions over Mane and Nunez has destroyed that team.

        2. DMP
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Give the man some time to settle. He cant even speak english. The team isnt helping.

          His first season in Portugal was the same, he suffers and has confidence issues. And then he exploded.

        3. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No matter the shape, nunez will always be nunez

          1. DMP
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Thats why Salah is being Salah this season.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Crazy that paid more than Haaland for him

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Never doubt Klopp and the players he signs. But Nunez was a weird one. Especially when they needed a new midfielder.

      2. DMP
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Halland had release clause. Thats why he cost less. Nevertheless, he Will cost more ond his contract lenght.

      3. Brehmeren
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The transferfee was bigger, but the salaries are uncomparable. So Haaland wsy more expensive.

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’s playing out of position. Give the lad some time.

  15. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can anyone lend me a FT?

    Salah, toney, cucurella, foden, guehi and mitro on the chopping block. At least I’ve got 2ft this week

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why Guehi?

    2. Sergio Giorgini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why Guehi?

  16. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha Mitro Salah Foden ... 2 FTs just not good enough 🙁

  17. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool are one weird team. Everything looks world class until they concede and lose. Thats that. In some moments it seems like they are over-confident and just do not evaluate situations correctly. Underestimating others.. Its PL. I have to be aware, always!

    Thats one thing that ManC are not. They seem to be serious. Every game matters. Not only these potentially hard games. There are fewer so called top teams than others. Meaning fewer points to get too. If you want to succeed in PL, you HAVE TO win most of these potentially easy games. Pff.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Elliott, Jones & several others are not the quality needed to compete?

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Simply put haven’t had the investment and are falling behind. Klopp has been asked to compete with basically only a first XI for years.

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dont think Liverpool are underestimating anyone. They ate just poor. Mane leaving has had a huge impact. It was his team more than Salah. Van dijkand taa form has become poor. Add to that injuries to jota and diaz. Snd salah and nunez arent forming a partnership and both miss too many easy chances

      1. Bishopool
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I agree that injuries have killed the start. Unfortunate season. Better win the CL, lol.

  18. NoName
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any other Jesus captainers?

  19. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Happy for now that I shipped Firmino to Jesus before deadline this morning.

  20. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Klopp was foreshadowing Liverpools slip up

  21. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I wonder how Liverpool fans feel. Such a short time back at the top only to tumble back down to midtable glory.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      1 Premier League title in their entire history. Their time at the top doesn't leave much of a legacy...

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Best PL team ever la'.

      2. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        They do have some CL titles, i believe 2nd most overall

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Had the same problem with injury a couple years back. Need Saudi cash.

  22. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chamakh wasn’t as bad as Nunez is tbh

  23. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Miggy or Trossard already got Wilson & Trippier?

  24. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can Klopp get sacked? What's the Liverpool boards tolerance level like?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And who do you replace Klopp with?

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Woy

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why? Give him some investment then complain.

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I hope Oxlade-Chamberlain gets given a chance soon. The lad's been so unfortunate with injuries...

  26. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pep Guardiola on ErlingHaaland’s injury: "He has ligament damage. He feels better, we have one more week. He won't play vs Sevilla because we've already qualified and hopefully against Fulham he can help. If not he might play against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup." [via
    @BBCSport]

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hold then?

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Another captain dilemma week it seems.

    3. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The presser before Fulham " we will see"

      1. NoName
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This. Same old peproulette.

    4. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty sure you were qualified before last CL match as well Bauldiola.

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Why the bald hate?

        I personally think it really suits him and is very sexy.

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No bald hate, more like a nickname for his unnecessary XI picks.

    5. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Harry Kane?

    6. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Haaland kept having these niggling injuries in dortmund. Once he is injured he doesn't come back so soon i believe

  27. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Glad I bought Robbo two weeks ago. Not often a defender concedes two goals and ends up with three BAPS

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And i bought useless vvd

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this early plan and 4pt hit:

    Kane, Zaha, Cucurella out

    Wilson, KDB, Zouma in

    1. Tsssst
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You might change your mind on Kane when you see his fixtures

  29. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I guess my question has been answered...bring in KDB and not Salah. Selling Kane for Wilson. Finally.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Selling kane before Liverpool? I am thinking of c him

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Nah...Spurs not up to snuff. Would rather have KDB.
        Will be bringing in Almiron for Zaha and Wilson for Kane for free. I need some serious changes in team.
        May even do Martinelli (have Saka) for Trossard.

  30. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah to kdb might be on the cards.

    A few could captain kdbtoo if haaland doubt
