Key Liverpool assets all start in trip to Southampton

All the key Fantasy Premier League assets from Liverpool’s ranks have been handed starts for their Friday night visit to Southampton.

Mohamed Salah (£13.2m), Sadio Mané (£10.1m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) are the front three as expected, with the first two of those backed by around 23% of voters in the latest captain poll.

Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.5m) flank the defence, with Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) starting alongside Joel Matip (£4.9m).

After a lengthy lay-off Joe Gomez (£4.8m) has travelled with the squad but is not quite ready for the bench.

The only changes to Liverpool’s side that beat Spurs at the weekend are in central midfield, far away from Fantasy concerns.

Naby Keita (£7.1m) and Fabinho (£5.5m) return to the midfield with Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) and James Milner (£5.6m) named on the bench.

Danny Ings (£5.4m) misses out for Southampton as he is ineligible to face his parent club which means a start for Shane Long (£4.6m).

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.6m) is back in the side to form part of a three-man back-line with Maya Yoshida (£4.1m) and Jan Bednarek (£4.0m).

Southampton XI: Gunn, Valery, Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Redmond, Long.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Keita, Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Salah.

      "A here it is, Keita has lost the ball to Hojbjerg and its lightinign counter attack by the Saints, Valery now passing to the onrushing Nathan Redmond, who is immediately fouled by Fabinho, right on the edge of the box!

      ...

      The wall is set up and it is, as expected, James Ward-Prowse who will step up. The whistle blows, and OH MY WORD! JAMES WARD PROWSE THUMPS IT PAST ALISSON, AS SAINTS AND CITY FANS REJOICE! THEY"VE WON IT, IN EXTRA TIME!"

              No, don't worry at all. All the popular targets may even drop and you still may gain .1 on the players you have now, at the next changes. Only exception maybe JWP, could rise.

            Sensible or foolish?

            I’m chasing the league leader who has 94 points on me, with his 11 players vs my 8 players this week, so I sold 3 players we both have (Sterling, Pogba and Rashford) for 3 players he doesn’t have, Salah (c), Laca and Maddison.

            Last throw of the dice to catch up, but would you say that was a good move?

            Rival has 7 playing and Mane captain. If this finished 2-0 with 2 Salah goals then wow I am going to make up a few points

            It's a Vardy vs Mane party for me and my rivals with captaincy. In descending order by rank its Vardy Mane Vardy Mane Vardy. I'm on Mane myself. Big week!

              Thanks for reminding me. I'd have done it later in the week but makes sense to do it tonight. Will do it later on.
