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

    1. #FPLBhuna

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

        I'd replace him asap and buy again after he drops in price later this week.

    It’s one of those weeks guys. After two epic ones.

    Just keep your tampons firmly in your fannnies

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

      Agh

    2. TAT
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Did you WC, @Flapjack?

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I did and I will just move Richarlison to someone.

        It’s the same for anyone really.

        If you had Richarlison you’ve had 3 goals.

        If you sold king, you’ve gone for someone better long term.

        Pits and troughs.

        1. TAT
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Agree; WC is long-term thinking after all. Although this GW I'd appreciated another one, to be honest…

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            You’ll be fine. This weeks bad for everyone thus far.

            1. TAT
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              That's a comfort (sort of)!
              Shame I just had two bad GW's before this.

              Already looking forward to next GW's matches. Any WC team will look good for a few weeks, at least. Hopefully we won't get any more unnecessary red cards!

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I may be wrong haha but I saw my live rank on Fantasy football fix at 1 before moving back to 1k 😀

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

    I wonder if Bednarek 4.0 has a shot replacing Hojbjerg (RC) at Sou. Anyone know?

    1. AndyCook
        7 years, 4 months ago

        They don’t play the same position at all. So no

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

          Thanks. Somehow, I was thinking Hoedt...not the mid Hojbjerg, which is actually kind of hard to type.

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

      Firmino header saved

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

      Firmino almost opens his goal account...but an excellent save from Ryan

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

      Firmino sitter, Robbo big chance created.

    5. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wow what a save

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

      What a fantastic save...

      By Han Solo that is and putting Luke in that dead tauntaun...

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

        A mistake. Shouldve come off for Long. Hughes bottled all of the subs.

        1. Top 210 Club
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Typical Hughes

    15. Chucky
      • 12 Years

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

      Firmino needs to learn a thing from Laporte. That was a weak header.

    17. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo is the best player in the league.
