Fantasy managers will be heavily reliant on the exploits of their Liverpool assets after a tough start to Gameweek 3.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), the most captained player of the weekend, will be the key focal point while Sadio Mané (£9.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) should make a difference too.

Salah himself has 54 percent ownership while the other members of his front three are both backed by more than 30 percent.

There will also be hopes for another Liverpool clean sheet with Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m) in 19, 18 and 16 percent of squads, respectively.

Liverpool are unchanged for a third Premier League match in succession, great news for Fantasy managers currently tripled-up on Jurgen Klopp’s extremely settled side.

Meanwhile, Pascal Groß (£6.9m) was named on the bench as Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) comes into the line-up to play just behind Glenn Murray (£6.5m)

There was one change in defence with Leon Balogun (£4.5m) coming in for Lewis Dunk (£4.5m).

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

BRIGHTON XI (4-4-1-1): Ryan; Bong, Balogun, Duffy, Montoya; March, Propper, Stephens, Knockaert; Bissouma; Murray

    While selling Richa, I won't get anything more than 6.6, having bought at 6.5, right?
    So, I guess I can wait till his value drops to 6.6 before shipping him out?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wrong

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, if you wait till he reaches 6.6, then you will only get 6.5

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Till 6.7

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        2 more more and a Robbo assist in there.

    4. Ben the Mee
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Err no sell any lower than 6.7 and you sell at buying price

      Well Aubameyang looks really sh*t for 11m, lacazette looked sharper than him when he came on , done know why arsenal don't start laca more often .
      This has been miserable week , can't even check my score..lol
      Salah to turn up the heat , hopefully.

    7. Adro3
      • 13 Years

      So 14 from 6 is actually a decent score by the sounds of it haha.

      I think Luke Skywalker might have to be subbed.

      He's been absolutely taken out by a massive Wampa there...

      1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        han solo just failed to score too...

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He's just working out his aim, I still have faith in him.

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He should be frozen in carbonite for such a poor performance!

    10. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah Hattie Loading......

    11. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Such a plum fixture Everton v Huddersfield that Walcott is the ideal replacement for Richarlison

          *incoming

          let's hope your predictions are as bad as your spelling.

    12. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If you have 0 points you are not losing that much ground v the average. But lots of big players still to play.

    13. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i guess the foul throw decisions in the first game should have been a warning for twitchy card refs 😉

    14. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      People thinking about Bennett. Won't Dendoncker eventually take his place? His preferred position is in midfield, but can't see him replacing Neves/Moutinho.

    15. COYS.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Richarlison is red flagged .. so he won't drop in price right ?

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

        He will, but it'll take more transfers out.

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Could see triple drop

    16. PRENO
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone else bottle Mane captain and opt for Salah due to popularity?

    17. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah playing prevents a Richarlison VC from taking effect!

    18. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thank Jebus that I scored well over the past two weeks as this one is gone out the window now barring a BHA performance now and a Hazard + Alonso masterclass!

    19. Gilbo88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Does anyone remember their lowest ever GW score? I’ve definitely got a few in the 20s but can’t remember any lower than that. Could be in the teens this week if Salah blanks

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        19

    20. Citizenkane91
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Jump aboard Silly Season, fellahs!

      Laughing my ass of at all these 7 points, -4 for Richarlison posts . . . feeling very muh schadenfraude at the moment.

      12 points with 4 to go. "Any good?" XD

    21. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A) Richarlison & Auba out > Hazard & Zaha in
      B) Richarlison > Walcott

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        A would be for -4.

      2. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wait till tomorrow. Can't say yet.

      4. MMN
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Auba injures?

      5. jomikijiq
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        definitely B

    22. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Any news on if Auba knock is serious?

      What a miss by mane

    24. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane puts it wide, after Salah sets him up

    25. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane close. Pass by Salah.

    26. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What a start would this be.

    27. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane close 🙁

    28. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Richardson's red is going to get overturned isn't it? Be amazed if they didn't appeal

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nah.

      2. Sasquatch Slayer
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Be amazed if they do . Clear head butt

        1. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It looks incredibly soft on social media, will watch the highlights later.

      3. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        It would be hilarious if so, after all the jerky knees kick him out today

    29. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane close, Salah big chance created.

    30. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah & Mane link up begins

    31. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Gundogan, good shout or not?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think so... waiting though

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Why do you think so? Isn't regularly involved in attacking points. Alternatives like Maddison might be better

    32. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ok, goodnight, off to play some tunes over a beer. Can't be watching this game with only Mane!
      GL all, l8r!
