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

    Trent and Mane need some passing practice

  3. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    For how long will Richarlison be gone? And if you transfer him out, who is the best replacement in the 6,5 category?

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

      Maddison Pedro and Walcott

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah Walcott should be a nice punt

    2. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Walcott?

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

      The correct answer to his replacement is in each of the last 3242354 pages.

    4. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He'll miss 2 GWs

  4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Charlison misses 3 prem games. Not 2 .

    New rules

    1. We Go Again
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Cup games don't count anymore?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/games-richarlison-miss-everton-after-15073218.amp

        Under new rules brought in this season, the ban will not apply to the League Cup second round tie with Rotherham United, with suspensions not carried over to every competition.

        It means he is likely to feature in Wednesday's clash with the Championship side, but would not return to Premier League action until the home game with Fulham on September 29.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Someone said the new rules are for yellows only, not reds. No idea myself.

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

      No, I think he misses 2. Yellow cards are competition specific, not reds

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        ^^

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This is correct. Rules on red cards did not change.

    4. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks for setting me straight.

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

        Or not. 🙂

  5. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Milner is so much better than Henderson

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, even with his age he is great

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Very different players. Hard to compare

      1. Jack Sparrow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Milner is good, Henderson is shite. Pretty easy to compare.

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

          This

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

        Yes, Hendo is cack

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

          I'm not a Liverpool fan but Henderson is certainly not rubbish

          1. Jack Sparrow
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Dont need t be a Pool fan to realise he is shite. Just need to be a football fan and have a small understanding of the game.

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

            Ok, he isn't anywhere near the quality of a top 4 side

            Same for Dier, unfortunately we had both at the WC

  6. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Can anyone else see Mane getting dropped? He breaks so many attacks with sloppy touches.

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

      No.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lol no chance.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Why not? Shaquiri is just waiting on the bench, plus others able to push up into that position.

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Because Mane is a better player

          1. Robe Wan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            nope

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

      Absolutely not.

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

      Surely Shaqiri gets a game sooner or later.

      It'd be either Mane or Salah making way in all likelihood.

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

        Subs appearances, Carabao cup and matches around Champions League when S/M get rested, not dropped.

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

        Probably later, when CL starts

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

    Salah 9 passes away from getting BPS he never usually gets.

    Robbo 1 pass away from a big BPS jump.

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

      Nice

    2. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keep us updated.

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

      Thanks

  8. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Neves to Walcott for free with 1.5itb?

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

      Yeah

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

    Mane has been dreadful this half..

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Because I got him in, sorry

        1. Critical Observer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He was awful vs. Palace as well, mind.

      • LSK
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Probably still score though

      • noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        like last game, so he'll score in the 90' +2

      • Sahil Yadav
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mane(c), Salah(v)

        Hope it doesn't backfire

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Already has

          1. Sahil Yadav
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Not if Salah doesn't score anymore and Mane nets in one

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              EO, it’s already hurt you

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

                If they get the same amount of points, it doesn't make a difference.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      want mane to blank ffs

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

      So Auba v mane.

      Both are rubbish !

      Let’s hope hazard doesn’t show up.

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

        For the record I’m sticking with Auba

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

          Good. Same here.

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

          Me too.

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

      If TAA does a fart he’ll get 1 BPS.

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

        Needs to be a big fart.

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

          He does big ones. Check out his Socials

    5. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Best option for 5.0?

      I have Neves and 3x Chelsea so I can't get Kante. Maybe Masuaku and leave 0.5 in the bank?

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

        Hughes again

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

        Kante is the only good one. Just go for some crud 4.5

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

        You sure you want 2x 5.0 mids?

        1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          No other way to get Hazard in now with Richie situation

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

        The Guendozie kid at Arsenal looks pretty good for 4.5m

        Brooks at Bournemouth for 5.0m looks the standout though

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

          Worth ditching Fraser for?

          1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            no way

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

            I wouldn't...but if you're WC'ing, it's a decent way to make a 0.5m saving

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

            His stats today looked amazing. Why ditch

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

          IMHO, Guendozie looks good in attack. On defence - not so much.

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

            The only question is whether he keeps playing.

            Hope he does, looks way better than Xhaka etc.

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

        your team sounds dreadful if you have 3x Chelsea and you're considering drafting in Masuaku

      Having a poor game and having a poor FPL game are two very different things.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mendy had a poor game for Man City IMO. Regardless of how many BAPS he got.

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

        In Mané case this evening it's both so far

    7. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Any news on Arnie after the game?
      Really hoping its not going to keep him out.

    8. Visionaries
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Richarlison > Walcott the most obvious move of all time?

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

        The obvious one but is it the smartest one?

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I went back and forth between the two but ended up making the wrong choice. Walcott looks like a good choice so far this season.

    9. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      1.5itb:

      Neves to Walcott (Neves is in my 11 so stays 343)
      Peltier to Monreal (Neves benched, 433)
      Gunnarsson to someone (mainly to avoid price drop..)

    10. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hamer subbed early, Richarlison red card... this game is brutal.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Do you have Arnie too?

      2. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        same

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

      Anyone considering Gundogan as an option? Should be nailed right now

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I am

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

        Yep, very much in my thinking and has shown an eye for goal before. Also frees up cash for a possible Kane manoeuvre or keeper upgrade

      3. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        hmmm, that's a good shout. He could come in for Richarlison in my team and free up enough cash to get Hazard in.

      4. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not even touching City mids, constant rotation and guesswork

    12. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Gee-whiz... a Huddersfield clean sheet! I can't wait to check my points for Hamer!....

      Will look forward to once AWB is unflagged!

      After which I have 2 FT to focus on (without the headache of Hamer and Richarlison to worry about).

      If Jones drops anymore I might need to ditch Peltier and have 5 functioning defenders...

      Will go for two kids at the 5.0 level...

      Should I be scared of not having Aub and Laca?

        His offense warrants going out on loan to Midtjylland for the rest of 2018/2019.

      Weird Logic....

      I know that it is VERY rare for players to get attacking involvement for 3-4-5 games in a row. is this reason to NOT bring in players like Wilson, Walcott etc? they are in good form, they have good fixtures, but the probability of repeating scores is so low?

      whadya think?

      1. Critical Observer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think Wilson was garbage today and definitely not in good form by any stretch of imagination.

        By that logic, unless you started with him, you would have never brought in Salah last year.
