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.

        Frozen, like if everyone was on wildcard.

        • 14 Years

  7. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Salah and foden to kdb and Saka for free . Good moves ? Really want kdb in my team

    1. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      think I'd prefer Salah and Foden tbh - Salah scored and Foden's now had his rest

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers

      2. Paul Psychic Octopus

        Double rest, including vs. Dortmund

  8. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Troll zaha, foden, bowen, sinisterra, Toney ending my fpl season.
    One doesnt play. One miss penalty, one got banned for 5 yc. One got red card. TF

    1. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Aye fpl be a harsh and cruel mistress, but if you got Toney and Foden early on they should have netted you a boatload of points. It was inevitable that they'd blank soon.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I need to stop regressing on Zaha - keep going back and regret it every time

          Rashford hattrick.

          Too much?

          1. Patron
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Damn, that’s what I’m scared of

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      3-0. Van Persie hat trick, if we're being FPL nostalgic.

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I remember exactly where I was at that moment. Taxi driver asked me if I was an Arsenal fan after I screamed "Yesssss" and punched the air.

        "No" I said.

  11. Skengzema
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    72 points with BPS with Martinelli and White to play, happy with that

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We are happy too

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        We even clap along.

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Most have the reverse of those numbers albeit with 4 or 5 left to play.

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

      i dont even have half those pts

    4. lilmessipran

      Holy moly wow

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Well played

    7. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why wouldn’t you be happy with it?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        All you need to do is post well done and tell him what a great player he is.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Or how Unbelievable the luck is 🙂

    8. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Well done

    9. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years

      Jackpot

  12. Pylynen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Toney+Mitro to DCL+Scamacca for free?

    1. Patron
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Surely there are better options?

    2. langey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I am considering the same...but I also want Kdb so am thinking it over for a few days 🙂

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

      no.

  13. NoName
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Activate WC today or wait until next weekend?

    Ward (eve)
    Cancelo (FUL) Robbo (tot) Trippier (sou)
    Foden (FUL) Martinelli (che) Zaha (wh) Almiron (sou)
    Haaland (FUL) Jesus (che) Kane (LIV)

    (Iversen, Andreas Perisic NWilliams)

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

      today.. only 2 GWs left

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry not to put it down but its fairly unimaginative.

      - Zaha, two away games when they're not impressing
      - Kane, Spurs have other priorities
      - Jesus, 4yc

      There are players like Rashford, Benrahma, Iwobi, Bowen, Wilson among others who could all blow up.

      Unless your rank is solid and you want to play it safe, I'd take the risk on such a late WC.

      1. NoName
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry. I should have made it clear. This is my current team. The conundrum is that Che-Ars and Tot-Liv are prior to easier fixtures the following week for those players.

  14. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    That’s all we’re getting from Salah isn’t it

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

      Probably won't even keep the BAP.

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely

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

      I mean there's a full half left

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but can just tell

  15. MOZIL
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Get wilson or DCL for the next few weeks?

    Wilson has harder fixtures but its on form
    DCL has better fixtures

    1. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, that's the question. Leaning towards Wilson. Form over fixtures.

  16. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Nunez looks less explosive than someone like

    Bailey....

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bamford on

  18. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Toney to Wilson for free?

    1. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm looking at that as well. Have exact funds before price rise tonight

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        yeah

        be proactive

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

    Rodrigo not making 60' helps Salah's BAPs potential.

  20. Saka Punch
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This game is pure chaos

  21. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My god this game started off well and is now boring

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Elliot has been poor

  23. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bamford chasing his 100th league goal (championship+PL) since december last year when he scored his 99th.

  24. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Fabinho and Elliot are so useless

  25. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Harvey really poor today.

  26. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I suck so hard at picking captains. I would enjoy the game more if there was no captain pick.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      People have often said we should remove captaincy

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I would love that

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Me too man

  27. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Elliott & Trent have been gash

  28. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I don't watch Liverpool enough, but it seems that Elliott is just not the calibre of player Liverpool need in that midfield.

    Constantly gets his passes wrong, is he an actual CM, or just covering?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino would be better in that role then Carvalho in attack.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I agree, he's been very poor today especially and isn't up to the grade of quality Liverpool have had in the past

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's young so he has lots of room to improve and alter his game, but I don't think he suits the way Liverpool want to play. I don't think he's quick enough on the ball and he slows down Liverpool when they often need to keep the ball moving quickly (in transition generally). Technically gifted and able to pick out a pass and shot but I think for the way they play it isn't always enough. Then again I said this a few weeks here and was lambasted for it lol

  29. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What happened to Fabinho? Looks a million miles off the player he was a few seasons ago

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Even more millions of pounds off what Liverpool paid for him.

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    3 years, 4 months ago

    salah with an emerson royal special
