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

    hopeful of reaching 40 points this GW with a Robertson CS and a goal or assist from either Firmino or Mane

  2. Sanguinista
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone planning to WC this week & considering going Salahless?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Especially if hazard starts tomorrow

    2. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No point in using a WC off the back off one bad GW unless you own Richarlison, Arnie and Smith and Hamer is set a forget in your team

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

      Salahness? Afer hattrick today? No way

      1. LÇgleSs e|even
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lol

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No way Salah can explode and is consistent unlike some of these other players as we seen today

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

        Here, take a comma

    5. Sanguinista
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pool have lei, spurs, SOUTH, chels, CITY next 5. Granted Salah did score in almost all those fixtures last season but do we expect him to do so this season as well to justify the 13.0 price tag?

      Thinking of a of 5 with Haz, Pedro, Wally, Mhiki, Mane

  3. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Any news about Arnie and King injury?

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

    leader on 7 from 6, so it's cool

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

      5th place 12 from 7 with captain burned.

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

      23 from 5! but captain used. Had wallcot, king

  5. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Felipe Anderson as Rich replacement? He looked good today...

  6. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Had 2 Free Transfers so i just brought in Ings for King.... ðŸ™

    1. Mic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Silly tbh

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Just thought Ings was doing well and King was off form. Had nothing else pressing in my team. Is it really that silly?

  7. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    6 from 5 any good?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      sweet as a nut

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

      Beats plenty on here.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Why did you bench Mane? You are such a troll keeping him first on subs and starting with WB. 😀

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Same here so in good company

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Obvious brag

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Better than my 5 from 5

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

      With no hits? Flying

  8. olidooley
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Missed the games...what happened Aubameyang?

    1. Mic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not too terrible but as a team they are poor

    2. RÏÉ BY
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      if that's the best they can do against hammers.. doesn't matter how good their fixtures are.. arsenal cover is not essential

  9. fantasyfog
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    this is more like I'm used to, disappointment and frustration...5 points, -4 because of a hit for...richarlison....1 point so far

    1. Mic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Best week to do badly in!

    2. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      5 to go

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keep going mate, I’m sure you had a good first 2 weeks previously. Just circle of life coming full circle

  10. LÇgleSs e|even
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Repost.. Peltier is a waste of a spot looks like. Any recommendations?

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

      bennett

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Benett from Wolves or Wan Bisaka as 4.0 def.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wan Bisaka is 4.1 sorry

    3. Ben the Mee
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Bennett

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

        Bennett seems to be the only non-AWB 4.0 survivor

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

      Walcott has goals in his locker when playing for an attacking team. Can see him getting at least 10-15 goals this season if he keeps fit.

      1. RÏÉ BY
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        10 definitely

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He can get 20 goals Theo. Has many good attributes of a modern English attacker.

      2. Third Eye Vision
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This would be amazing, although the question mark over where Bernard fits in still needs to be answered.

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

      Dear Mohammed Salah,

      On behalf of the fantasy footaball community, we’re relying on you. We need you to step up. We need you more than ever. We need a Mo explosion.

      Best Wishes,

      Fantasy Pog.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Most have him and captained him

        1. Y26 Royal
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          A lot in my ML capt Aguero or Mane so i really need a big Salah score! Some Robertson assists would be the cherry!

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

            Me too. Good luck

            1. Y26 Royal
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              You too mate!

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

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

          We will still rise in rank.

        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

    8. RÏÉ BY
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      for a truely anti-template GW we need goals from anyone BUT salah/mane
      maybe an alisson sending off and a brighton win! 😆
      😛

    9. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Work league rival benched King. Well that brightened me up somewhat.

    10. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      King isn't injured is he??

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

        why would he be?

        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

      3. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

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

      Like the RMT thread, can we have a standalone Richarlison replacement thread. Everyone who owns Richarlison somehow seems to think they have a unique query.

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

        I own Richarlison and have a rash on my testicles. What is the best ointment I can use please?

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Did you get that rash from a Richarlison headbutt?

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

            He only grazed the head...

        2. The Jackal
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Best ointment is Willyvojevitch Cream

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

        There's a hot topic now.

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

          On my rash?

    12. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Who's been injured?:/

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

        Our hearts 😮

    13. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Do Rich to Wally now?

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

        You know the answer.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Right

      2. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Depends...

      3. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        If you bought in week one then hold till tomorrow

    14. NUFCAndrew
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Patricio Hamer (injured)

      Mendy Davies TAA Tomkins WB

      Salah Mane Bilva Richarlison (lol) Jota

      Aguero King Kamara

      Wildcard this?

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lots of us have done similarly

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

        How much ITB?

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

          0.2

      3. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        i would

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

          Not everyone in my team plays regularly so it’s tempting

      4. Jack Frost
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        To each his own. It's debatable if you even need a transfer.. Jota at WestHam might work for Jota.

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

          Was more for other players, like Davies, Rich, Jota, Kamara

    15. RomeluStormzy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I had 200 points at the start of today.

      I am now on 198...

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

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

          Cant complain too much tbf.

      3. noahzark22

    16. Finnish Fish
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

    18. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Should be very interesting to see how Liverpool react to City dropping points. Score predictions?

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

        3-0 Liverpool

    19. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Blast! Should have utilised WC for Cardiff and Toon defenders!

    20. screamer73
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Doherty won't get the assist?

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

        Doesn't look like it.

    21. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'm sitting next to Richarlison. Anything you want me to tell him?

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

        tell him, good job

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

        Give him a head butt.

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

      Arnie injury look bad?

    23. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      LMS safety score to be 3
