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

    Duffy is so dangerous! Mane off!

    Think I'm going to wild card tonight to the below team?

    Hennessey Hamer
    Alonso Mendy Trippier Bellerin TAA
    Salah Hazard Pogba Neves Stephens
    Aguero Ings Kamara

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No robbo?

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

        Not affordable unfortunately. Fixtures turning now so anticipating less from him and Taa is on so much!

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

          He'd be affordable if you didn't have Pogba in your team

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

            Taa has nearly scored twice today! Is on fks and some corners.

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

      Robbo definitely worth the 1m over TAA

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

        Would mean playing Neves every week! Taa is doing very well.

  8. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years

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

    Ok that’s twice now.
    I think we need a bit less footwork from Alisson.

  12. drughi
    • 16 Years

    mane hazard mass sale

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years

  14. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Well not owning Rich Mane Aguero hasn't hurt me so bad this week

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

    Looking like the Liverpool of old

  16. child of God
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Trent seems to be fascinated by seeing yellow, he just can't get enough of them

  17. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    That was worth the price tag alone...

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

    Brighton going for it

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, they sat back for 35 minutes and are now going for the equalizer in the last 10 -- pretty drab but understandable.

  19. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    One thing I got right atleast, dropping Mané on wildcard

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

    Rich finally red flagged.

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

      Off side?

  21. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

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

      Newcastle 3-0 Chelsea last time out

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

        Which automatically means Newcastle 3-0 Chelsea tomorrow aswell?

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

    Give us one more, Mo!

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

    Game just got more interesting

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

    I’m still happy with Trent. The points will come. Robbo was solid for me weeks 1 and 2. But the extra cash is just useful.

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

      Whatever makes you feel better 😉 😛

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

        PVA and Alonso tomorrow thanks to Trent 🙂

    2. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He said to himself.

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

      I can totally see that. Toyed with the idea myself, and might do it soon.

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

        The stats back it up. Even bonus is closer than people seem to suggest for 2017.

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

          Did not know that; thanks for the info! Looking at my team, it looks like a very likely future move. As you write, the extra cash can be useful. Very useful too.

    TAA booked again. Eff sake!

  26. NorwichCityLad

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

    Allison has obviously been a fan of Jens Lehmann growing up.

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

      Who wasn't? 😀

  30. Bubz

      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

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

        And yet he’s an absolute must have

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

      10/11 is great from a 1-0 win.

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

        Well yeah I didnt expect it to be 1-0 though
