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

    Salah is shite

      this

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

        imagine how many he’d score if he was actually good at footy

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

          Couldn't score in a brothel

    3. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years

      I went with Mané from the start therefore he is a much better option and if you think otherwise then your thinking is deeply flawed.

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

        Agree

  2. Lucackadoodledoo

    7 years, 4 months ago

    Taa cracked the woodwork twice. Goal incoming. I'm thinkin robbo, salah and taa the most effective Liverpool trio.
    Thoughts?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He wasn't great overall, but still great value for 5m.

      • willl
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I have Robbo TAA Mane, pretty happy with it so far

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

        can see the CS's drying up now over the next 4 or 5 so would be reluctant to double defence

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Walcott. Hmm that just feels like a mistake but not many great options.

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Same. I feel almost bullied in to getting him! Nobody saying how he actually played tho!

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Used to love him in FPL, but I've made this error several times. Need to have a look at his numbers but will guess they're not brilliant. Seems to be overperforming xG and xA.

        2. Ha.
          • 10 Years

          Wally in?

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

            big time

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

          38 with Mitrovic and PVA, that about average? Or poor cos I only have 2 players left?

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

            that’s decent i think

            • 16 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Depends how the 2 players do. Kane could make it terrible.

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

            I am pretty certain the avg is way below that

          4. TOPCAT1960
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Based on what I can see probably somewhere close. Im usually close and have 39 plus baps and Mitro & Tarowski to go

        4. OldBenKenobi
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Think Richarlison has to go.
          Cant rely on bench players for 2 weeks surely

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

            Rich > Walcott for Hud (H) Whu (H) surely

          2. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Yep he’s gone

          3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Without doubt he needs to go. Best part of 7mil on your bench for 3 matches isn't good

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

              2 matches

          4. Kun Tozser
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Wan-Bissaka fixtures look great

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

            I'm going to have to get rid I think, Cairney or Doherty to choose from on the bench

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

          Phuck sake Mo. What have you got against Baps you silly sausage

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

            He didn't choose the sausage life, the sausage life chose him.

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

              if he had penalties and got baps he would actually get 500 points in a season

          2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Have the ball away a lot, final ball poor, 3 wayward shots into space. All he did was score really

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

              par for the course with Mo

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

          Alisson deserves to be on the BAPS instead of Salah

          1. Yellin' in my Ear
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Salah isn't in them

          42 with Foster, Alonso and Mitrovic, it will do.

          #MakeBAPsGreatAgain

          -1 BPS for every shot off target.
          -1 BPS for every time tackled/dispossessed.

          Punishing attacking players actively trying to make things happen.

          Alternative:
          -1 BPS for every 2 or 3 shots off target.
          -1 BPS for every 2 or 3 times tackled/dispossessed.

            Or get rid of BAPS and go with Opta assists.

            Or why not change the BAPS so players like Gueye, Kante, Matic can get more of them?

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

              Keep BAPs & Opta assists - the more points the better.

              Them players will get BAPs generally with attacking returns, some form of change would be nice.

          Of course it won't happen but would love to see the baps battle of a team with both robbo and mendy (obviously two lbs would be a cracking formation)

          Bonus point re-jig and now Salah completely out of the bonus points. How does that work given that he should have got an extra 3 bps for scoring the winning goal?? Yet again short changed with the bonus points.

          Was thinking of bringing in TAA for Robbo to save 1 mill but its hard to justify with all those BP's he keeps getting

            I Think it’s very hard to find anywhere else where that 1m will provide equal value.
            + TAA is on 3 Yellows now as well.
