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

    Hello, bottomed, missed a lot of rises last week waiting and, as you'll see, had a few falls, so I was wondering what you'd suggest here:

    2FT 1.5ITB

    Patricio, hamer
    Mendy, robbo, pva, wan b, peltier
    Salah mahrez bernado siggy hudson-odoi
    Firmino, King, Zaha

    Obviously not a lot of cover on the bench, no Chelsea, no arsenal and mahrez (and arguably Firmino) are all issues to address.

    Thanks!

  4. Fantastisk

    Oh Salah my captain

  5. cigan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Bought Wan Bissaka and Richarlison last Sunday (before the Palace game). That went well

  6. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    what score post baps can be considered decent?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      30 lol

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

      One more than the person asking.

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

        This.

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

      Average is 39 from 8 players

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

        That should be for the top 10000 players with bonus, average is closer to 29 for the overall players. Where are you taking your stats from? Mine is the FPL discovery site.

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

      Three per player for top ten k

    5. Viper
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      50 would be pretty good I'd imagine

    6. _Make
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      50

  7. Ohh1454

    1. Sponge-worthy

      He's considering to bring back the man bun.

    2. Fantastisk

      Didn't look overly serious to Mee, would expect to play next round.

      1. Ohh1454
        • 8 Years

        Thanks for your reply , one less problem hopefully so

    1. TorresMagic™

      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

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

    Richie red and ban disrupted my plans. Now I have to replace him with 4.5 or 5.0 mid in order to get Salah.

    Team for next week will look like this (-4):

    Kepa, Stekelenburg
    Mendy, VVD, Trippier, Luiz, WB
    Salah, Hazard, Fraser, Neves, 5.0
    Mitrovic, Aguero, King

    Thoughts?

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

    Is 94 with 7 (including C) to go despite owning Richarlison, Adam Smith, Hogg and Hojbjerg any decent?

    1. Sasquatch Slayer

    How long is Rich out for after that red? Are people going to jump ship on him?

    1. Adro3
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      3 games

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

      2 PL Games, 1 Cup game

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

        So, my info was wrong. 3 PL games confirmed - Hudders, West Ham, Arsenal

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

    Walcott used to be a cult hero round these parts, we'd all jump on him at 9.5m when he got some games for Arsenal

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It’s going to end in the same way

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

      its not that long ago he was 9.5, and a pickable 9.5 too... 6.5 looks way too good to be true. No threat of missing games for these good fixtures now either. And with Richarlison injured there really is no excuse not to be doing Rich > Theo straight away.

      Any other move is trying to be too clever imvho

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

        I’m not dismissing doing it at all, But do you Think it is worth doing if you would want Rich back afterwards?
        So your net points gain would only be whatever Theo outscores AWB with -8 points.
        Of course you would make some money as well.

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

        You've convinced me. I hope this isn't a trap...

    3. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Didn't he get like 23 points in one game?

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      lots got him around the blanks last season he was gash and then had to be shipped out after

  14. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Chaps has Richarlison got a 2 or 3 game ban? Thanks

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

      3 PL games. Back on 23 September

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

      3 game ban, one will be in the cup.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Rule changed.?? Bans now pl only.

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        PL only now

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      3 typically for violent conduct. Pretty sure cup games don’t count towards suspensions now

      1. olly:)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        reds do, saw the rules posted on twitter before

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years

          Ah that’s silly

    4. SkyByBo

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks all = make sense.

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

    Salah to get extra bappage for winning goal? Should put him on maximum bonus points?

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Seriously....you’ve been here 8 years

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

      No, he’ll be lucky to get 1

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

      Extra BPS, yes. Any BAPs, no. Hotel, Trivago.

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

      Booooooooooooooooo

    5. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      One goal was never gonna be enough for him to get into bonus, despite it being the winner. Another decent haul though, in this poor week

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

        It was until pretty much final minute

  16. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    probably some salah none owners who are banging on about the possibility of him not sneaking in even 1 bap. Pretty confident the capitano will come through with the goodies.

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

      Plenty of Salah captains being realistic.

  17. TherryOnWii
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Walcott (Home against Huddersfield) or Pedro (Home against Bournemouth), just for next week? Plan to wildcard afterwards, so long term is irrelevant. Thanks.

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

      See what Pedro looks like tomorrow

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      See how Pedro does tomorrow but probably Wally

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years

      both!

  18. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    On today's performance, what are the odds of Auba getting benched next week and Laca starts?

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

      Zero barring injury.

      They should both start.

  19. nisag17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    How long is Richarlison suspended?

    1. Fantastisk

    3. dunas_dog

    2. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years

      Obviously not the case

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

    7 years, 4 months ago

    Soooo 1.5itb:

    A) Neves to Walcott (Neves is in my 11 so stays 343)
    B) Peltier to Monreal (Neves benched, 433)

  22. Caleb's Kitties

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

  24. Gargamel

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Missed out on 2x2 baps by one BPS. Gutted

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

    Lets the moans begin 😆

  27. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Salah is a baps repellent.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      the ying to Robbos yang

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

      Literally kicked two BAPs away with his last two efforts.

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

        So frustrating. Sadly all I was thinking at the time rather than enjoying the game.

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

        It seems to sillly that he effectively missed out on top 3 Man of the Match places because of it. He was the match winner.

        So surprised there wasn’t a change in baps calculation this year.

  28. willl
    • 10 Years

    Robbo is a monster
