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

    Kept faith In King and Bobby instead of chasing points like I would normally do. Paying dividends.

    That goal sent me into top 5k on FFfix, nosebleed time for me. Hope it sticks.

  11. Gazpilicueta

    wow my BT sport is miles behind?!

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years

      The player? Yeah that’s usually atleast a minute behind live

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It must be the player though.

  12. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Really good team now this Liverpool lot. I'm not convinced City are out and out favourites for the title anymore...they have competition.

    1. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Indeed.
      Good thing

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

      Their defence being good now makes such a massive difference

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        And Keita

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

          Yeah I class him as part of that, he will be gold for them

          1. Dr Van Nostrand
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            What's hilarious is Klopp has spent less than half the amount net that Mourinho has

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Seem to be able to do everything well at the moment. Passing game, playing on the break, defending...all of it...

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I just worry still don't quite have the depth that City and the Euro powerhouses have tho

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I think how both cope when cl starts is key.

            1. Dr Van Nostrand
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Yes esp if Pool get a tough group

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

      Agreed

    4. Jafooli

  13. BON

    Did Firmino > Agüero (-4)

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

      Atleast you got couple of price rises 😉

  14. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    2 more goals from Salah and he might get bonus

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

      Doing well in baseline BPS so far today.

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How good is robertson

  15. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    • 13 Years

    The longer it stays scoreless the better for us Aguero captainers.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years

      I hate to break it to you, but...

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

    Do team captains get more leniency from referees on cards?

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nope.

      See Roy Keane/Patrick Vieira

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

      Everton should make Richo captain.

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

      Mind games plays a part, captain got most opportunity to speak and can soften a ref

  17. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    ML rival did Firmino > Ings. ouch..

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Silly move

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

        If it let them upgrade a midfielder to mane?

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

    Completely pegged back here.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the rebels just start retreating in the face of this onslaught by the empire...

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    Mane looks drunk

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lloris dropped him off at Anfield tonight

  20. Totally !rre!evant
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mane looking awful. Every pass is off

  21. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Auba > Aguero for free
    Yes or no?

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

      Definitely

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

      Yes

    3. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      101%

  22. Ribus
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How many in the top 10k captained Kun?

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

        Thanks

  23. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Robbo and Cook for TAA and Bellerin?

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

    VvD raking in the Baps, overtakes Bobby now.

  25. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Looking at underlying GW3 stats I’m more than happy with the King > Wilson move, even if King would have to troll us all with a departing goal.

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

      Wilson still got 2 assists right? Wilson definitely looks better in the long run. I think im wildcarding, and i think im getting Wilson in for King.

  26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is Callum Wilson actually the best value player in the game? Fraser & King doing well... but Callum is smashing it

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

      As it stands, definitely.

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

      King doing well?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        12 points from 3 games for a 6.5, cant really ask for more than 4.0 PPG?

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

          Yes but need to watch his actual play

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Regardless of his play, do you disagree that 4.0 PPG for a 6.5 is doing well?

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

      Yes, also think Mitrovic could come good.

  27. AC Me Rollin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Anybody else thinking of switching their left backs ( Mendy Alonso Robertson) to right backs (TAA Tripper Bellerin)

  28. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Too late to bring Wilson in? Should I wait after Chelsea game?

  29. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Do we know overall percentages for Salah (c) vs others especially Aguero (c) and Arsenal (c)?

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

    Next week would you start AWB or Ings?

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

      See how Palace do tomorrow I guess.
