How Liverpool’s key FPL assets compare ahead of 2019/20

With a week to go before Gameweek 1, five of the eight most-owned Fantasy Premier League assets are on Liverpool’s books.

The Reds’ players were a rich source of FPL points last season and there is optimism that they can replicate that in 2019/20, although we have had to swallow price rises with a number of their key Fantasy assets.

FPL managers will be especially keen on Liverpool in the first two months of the upcoming season, with the Reds sitting second on our Season Ticker in Gameweeks 1 to 8.

Can the Reds match their performance levels of 2018/19, though?

In our latest Numbers Game series, we assess Liverpool’s key underlying statistics from last season and highlight the numbers that matter to Fantasy bosses.

    Who's your current GK?

    1. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Still on Ryan.

    2. CYN
      • 5 Years

      sadly ryan

    3. 3 A
      • 8 Years

      Pope..tempted by Henderson too. What your choice?

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

        Pickford ideally.

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Heaton

    5. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pope/Heaton double up

      I know people don’t like the idea of 2x 4.5 keepers anymore but I don’t like the idea of playing keepers knowing they’ll concede.

        If you can pick the winner every week. The choice is not always the obvious one.

        1. Thomas Jerome Newton
          • 7 Years

          Playing it safe: Ederson

  2. GE

    My first draft this season - what do you think?

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

      (0.5 itb)

      Fabianski
      TAA/Robertson/Azpi/AWB
      Salah/Sterling/Siggy/Tielemans
      King/Jota

      Bench: 4.0, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Wickham

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        For me azpi and awb are suspect

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

          Why? Who instead?

          1. Garth Marenghi
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Suspect as fpl players. Are those defenses going to get clean sheets? Or are they going to have consistent offensive returns? It’s too much an unknown for both of them, for me. UTD defense was great 2 seasons ago, last year not so much, maybe this year is different with Harry there now too, but I don’t want to pay a premium for an unknown. For 6, I’d prefer digne, walker. For 5.5 l, I’d prefer zinchenko, Coleman. IMO.

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

              Azpi has been stable for many seasons in row, AWB is a more risk yes

              1. Garth Marenghi
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Azpi is stable, but I’m not sure defensively Chelsea are as good as they were.

        2. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          dunno about that one now .. I like them as picks although maybe no clean sheets for either GW1

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

            If you’re gonna go Chelsea defense, go for Emerson. Cheaper, nailed and holds a stronger attacking threat than Azpi

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

              Emerson nailed?

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

      Can't imagine leaving it this late for my first draft. All that tinkering really does help you perfect your team. This one looks quite far off imo.

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

        Lol 😀
        Last season I used the whole summer for tinkering without anything special.
        IMO the best start is to play safe with nailed players and a flexible squad.
        Good luck 😉

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

    Last year Bep's worst defender by a distance was Zinchenko.
    Not seeing the love.

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

      Mendy was worse.

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

        Walker was the worst.

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

          Zinchenko wasn't even decent offensively.
          And Walker was bad value wise but by far a better quality FB.
          The best thing about Zinchenko is he wasn't ever hurt.

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

      Finished the season well, Mendy always has injury problems and the new lad hasn’t looked very good. I can see Zinch playing the first couple of games anyway, after that who knows?

    3. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It’s his price that’s loved

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

      What? Stones, Mendy, Walker all worse

  4. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best man united defender if you were to pick one?

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      awb

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

      AWB but I wouldn’t want any for now

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

        Why not?

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

          I’m nearly sure we (Chelsea) and Wolves will both score against you in the first 2 weeks. Defense always need a bit of time to gel too

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      AWB by a distance ...

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

      AWB was good for his price last year, but considering the amount of clean sheets Man U got under Ole, none of them.

      Maybe De Gea at a push?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        AWB and Maguire should significantly prove that though

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

          Why? Shaw Bailly Lindeloef etc were supposed to be the messiahs last time.

  5. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best pick:

    A) KDB - Perez - Barkley

    B) Siggy - Fraser - Deeney

    Have Zinchenko + Sterling

    Thanks guys.

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

      Idk I like Fraser Perez and Barkley. I’ve somewhat fallen out excitement for KDB and Siggy

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

        Actually A is better

    2. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Id go A but id have another defender instead of Barkley...

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

      A

  6. Whiffy McBiffy
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ryan, Lloris and Lowton or
    Foster, Pope (Heaton) and Walker-Peters

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

    Guessing from the lack of Kun nobody expects him to start...

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      just favour Sterling id say

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

      Sterling is the reason

    3. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I've got Kun but am a little worried

      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Very very similar to mine, so needless to say I like it 🙂

      Ederson
      TAA Laporte Digne Robbo
      Salah Perez Sterling
      Deulofeu King Jota

      Button Lundstrum Dendoncker Hayden

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        looks good mate, any reason on Hayden over romeu? have you done much research into the 4.5M mids?

        we are getting down to the nitty gritty now.... 🙂

        1. MB10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Dendoncker is the obvious 4.5 mid choice and its slim pickings after that. Romeu never really registered with me to be honest, he is usually high on cards ! Hayden is best one on the projections... but will have to further research between now and Friday yea

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      decent - bit random but I'd be tempted to swap Ederson for a 4.5 keeper and keep the money ITB

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        ha, no chance thats a mainstay with me... cheers for the feedback though mate , hows the tinkering going with you ?

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          not very well haha, still not sure if I'm bench boosting GW1 😀

          1. @fpl_phenom
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Go big or go home 🙂

            I claimed I would do that too but it looks like im bottling it

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

    got 0.5 in the bank

    pope, henderson

    AWB, VVD, digne, guilbert, lundstraum

    KDB, barkley, mcginn, pepe, perez

    kane, firmino, jota

    who do you guys think will start for chelsea up front?

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

      AWB to Walker

      Very risky to go without Salah or Sterling but if that’s the road you want to go down do it

  10. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Straight up, who would you rather start the season with?

    Zinchenko or Deluefeu

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

      Deulofeu for safety, Zinchenko for potential.

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Deulofeu but id cover that city defense too , iv gone ederson and Deulofeu

  11. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why’s the Utd game at 5:36 tomorrow? Any reason

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

      Might get a few more in the crowd.

  12. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone looking at rotating Heaton and Pope?

    And then ditching one of them on wildcard for a 4m?

    Thanks

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

      I'm deciding between one of the two. Currently on Heaton.

  13. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Who is the best 5.5m keeper? Maxed out on the best 2 teams so no 6s.

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

      lloris

  14. internal error

    The official club reasoning for Pogba's absence from the trip to Cardiff is a back injury, but he failed to turn up for the team's flight after being included in the travelling squad. Team-mates and club officials were surprised #mulive [mail]

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Might have been on a promise ?
      Hugely misunderstood is Paul.

  15. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years

    City @ 5/6 to win the community shield looks a good bet considering they have had a more settled pre-season...

    any thoughts guys?

    1. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years

      I see the game ending in a FT draw

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        hmmm, Ill wait for the team line-up....

        Heard Klopp saying some of his main players might not start.... this would be a huge advantage to city...

  16. Teror
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A. Pogba + Zinchenko

    B. Fraser + Laporte

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

      B

  17. GE

    What’s the situation of Heaton and Pope?

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

      Heaton will definitely start. Pope will almost certainly start but could miss GW1

    Barkley KDB Mane Pepe Perez
    Kane

  19. edavidson755
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    what good defenders are there for any price besides liverpool, city or everton players

    1. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Zouma

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

      Chelsea are being massively overlooked IMO. They're in footballing terms a really good defence, so Luiz and Alonso should be options. Sheff United's keeper is apparently really good. Heaton, Pope and Tarkowski should all be options. Brighton could do alright with those opening fixtures.

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

        Oh and Alderweirald is someone with both clean sheet potential and an aerial threat. Could be a v. good pick.

      2. edavidson755
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ok, thanks a lot for the advice probably will end up picking alonso because of his attacking potential.

  20. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    really want a 6.5 / 7.0 million everton attacker..

    really hope that new striker comes in cheap....

    Tosun came in at 7million wasnt it, should be similar im thinking/ hoping ....

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

      I'd wait it out to be honest. Bad pre-season form from last year's players and a lot of new arrivals who need to find their place. I don't think we are going to start badly, I just can't call where our goals are gunna come from

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        ye, its just those fixtures are so juicy

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

          they really are, i think whoever nets gameweek 1 will get a bandwagon to be honest. As sn Everton fan I will rlly want to get on board, but I think the dust needs to settle.

  21. quickstop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi guys,
    faily settled for a 4-4-2 for starters, which in my opinion, gives the best setup for changes.

    This is what im tinkering with atm.
    Im not overly excited about either Bournemouth/Everton, so this seems as a pretty balanced setup for starters.

    Ryan
    TAA, Robbo, Zinc, Zouma
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Perez
    Deulofeu, King,

    + 0,5 ITB for easy up-/downgrade within pricepoints for Zinc, Zouma, Perez, KDB, King, Deulofeu.

    Any feedback?

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

      No complains.

      I'm struggling to find 1 6.5m striker, let alone 2

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      cant fault it... I personally prefer premium keepers but thats just me, love the midfield!!!!

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

    If Fiorentina or Lazio pick up Mili (who's entering his last year of contract and it's a surprise no one has been in for him yet) how many will be piling in on Benteke for pens? At 6.0 he'd be value no 🙂

    Even King is at 6.5 after all

    1. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If they lose Zaha their number of penalties will suffer a decline

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

      He'd probably miss them

    3. George Sillett

      Many sides already have penalty takers so no surprise whatsoever that nobody has been in for him yet. These sides surprisingly have no interest in FPL but more in club football.
      As for Benteke .......
      I'd just rest your brain for a while.

    Find it quite humorous that AWB was a must on Crystal Palace but now on United he’s a risk.

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

      Well, there is the price rise too.

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That’s understandable but not true reason most are giving

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Find it quite humorous that don't comprehend the concept of value.

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Again..I understand if price is a reason but at 5.5 its actually a bargain compared to all the 6.5 and 7.0 ‘s no?

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

        Better value at 5.5??

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

      Absolutely nobody would have him at Palace at 5.5

    4. MB10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Different price points, he was a must at palace because he started at 4.0 you couldnt go wrong. 5.5 is a lot to pay for a player you arent 100% on

    5. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      So United defenders are not 100%. I get it now. Good to know

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Certainly not. I would steer well clear.

    Hi,

    So I have KWP because of the hype, unashamedly. Why do people think he's a guaranteed starter all of a sudden?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years

      Aurier injured

      Foyth suspended

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years

        Foyth suspended AND injured 😀

        Aurier back in training.

          Not on the bandwagon TM?

  29. Smurf

    John Stones.

    I won’t start by saying he’s a great defender but at 5.5m he’s possibly as good of a bet as Zinchenko to cover Man City clean sheets.

    With Kompany leaving and Otamendi not playing a minute of pre season it looks likely Stones will start the season as first choice next to Laporte.

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years

      Agreed

  30. Holteenderinthesky

    Money Spent at the back, but quite like it.

    Heaton
    TAA, Robbo, Laporte, Coleman
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Barkley
    Wilson, Adams

    What's your thoughts?

      Have same team but debating Siggy/Barkley vs. 7.0/Leicester 6.5.
