Klopp’s injury update on Salah and van Dijk after Liverpool edge Spurs

Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Jordan Henderson (£5.4m), Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) | Harry Kane (£10.8m)
  • Assists: Sadio Mane (£11.8m) | Son Heung-min (£9.7m)
  • Bonus: Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.4m) x3, Henderson x2, Kane x1

Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.4m) owners are back where they were a fortnight ago, with the Egyptian flagged in Fantasy Premier League with an ankle injury.

Sunday was a rollercoaster day for the 30% or so of FPL managers who have kept faith with the premium midfielder amid the mass exodus of recent weeks.

With his absence from Friday’s training ground images already causing concern, there were the usual baseless rumours circulating in the hours before kick-off which suggested that the Egypt international was set to miss the visit of Tottenham Hotspur.

The speculation amounted to nothing and Salah resumed his place in Liverpool’s front three, going on to register his first league goal since Gameweek 5 to hand the Reds all three points.

Just when all was right with the world again, Salah hit the deck in the game’s closing stages and was swiftly substituted, with the Egyptian walking gingerly from the field and subsequently spotted with an ice pack on his ankle.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed after full-time that it was the same issue that has blighted his star winger for the last three weeks, saying first to Sky Sports:

Mo is the same ankle, it just gets sore the longer the game goes on. It’s not a massive issue, that will disappear one day, but it’s still a bit there at the moment.

Asked about the Egyptian’s injury in his post-match press conference, Klopp added:

It’s good. But the longer the game goes, the more you get a bit tired, could get a knock on it, then you feel it more. Makes no sense to try to push it through because we had other players, options to change. No, nothing serious.

Salah wasn’t the only well-owned Liverpool asset to be “yellow-flagged” in FPL after the conclusion of Sunday’s game, with Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) also picking up a knock.

There doesn’t seem to be too much concern over the 45.1%-owned Dutchman, however, with Klopp saying after the game:

Virgil, I think got a dead leg which will be fine, it’s painful but it should be fine.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) had come into this match as a slight doubt himself but shook off the virus that caused him to miss the win over Genk to keep up his ever-present league record in 2019/20.

It was a frustrating afternoon for owners of Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk and Andrew Robertson (£6.9m), who saw their clean sheet wiped out within 47 seconds when Harry Kane (£10.8m) nodded Spurs ahead.

No club has shipped fewer goals than Liverpool this season but, by virtue of Klopp’s side conceding exactly once on eight separate occasions, only two teams (Spurs and Norwich City) have registered fewer clean sheets.

Given their otherwise respectable underlying defensive statistics, it seems only a matter of time before the Reds start to register shut-outs again.

Despite the clean sheet drought, Robertson and Alexander-Arnold are joint-third among FPL defenders for total points, mostly thanks to their endeavours at the other end of the pitch.

It was to be an infuriating match on that front, too, with Alexander-Arnold creating more chances than any other Premier League player in Gameweek 10 but ultimately blanking for the third game in a row, if we are to discount the bonus point picked up in the 2-1 win over Leicester.

Van Dijk and Sadio Mane (£10.8m) couldn’t convert the best of the headed opportunities that Alexander-Arnold supplied, while Roberto Firmino (£9.6m) failed to squeeze a second-half effort through the legs of the busy Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.4m) from the Liverpool right-back’s throw.

Just as Alexander-Arnold’s De Bruyne-esque deliveries went unrewarded, so did Robertson’s prominence in the final third.

The Scotland international wasn’t quite as productive as his opposite full-back but was a constant outlet down the left flank, getting into some threatening positions and producing an excellent cross that Firmino perhaps should have buried just after the interval.

Gazzaniga kept that effort out from the Brazilian and was to be a thorn in Liverpool’s side all afternoon, making a remarkable 12 saves over the course of the 90 minutes.

A smart double-stop from Salah and Firmino in the 27th minute was a sign of things to come, as Spurs’ backup goalkeeper went on to repel a van Dijk header, an Alexander-Arnold drive and numerous other decent chances that the Reds carved out.

After seven saves, Gazzaniga was finally beaten just after half-time when Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) half-volleyed in Liverpool’s equaliser.

While there was an element of frustration that there weren’t more attacking returns, owners of Mane (who won Liverpool’s decisive penalty), Salah and Firmino would have been consoled by the attacking manner of the Reds’ performance, particularly with a favourable fixture swing coming up.

Reflecting on the game, Klopp said:

We were in charge, we pushed them back, played really good football, created chances in the first and second half, super saves of the goalie of Tottenham – wow, what a game he had.

The first goal we scored, I loved because in other games maybe when the striker goes down and everybody is shouting for a penalty, there are maybe players around who switch off a little bit but Hendo was not bothered by that and finished that situation off. Really important, really nice.

The second goal is a sensational counter-press situation of Sadio; having the ball, losing it, losing it twice, coming in front of the opponent and then he kicks your calf, that is a super, super situation. We won it, we deserved it and I am really happy about the performance.

While Liverpool deserved their win, Spurs played their part in an absorbing encounter.

Son Heung-min (£9.7m) was desperately unlucky not to get on the scoresheet, first striking the post with a deflected effort in the first minute and then rattling the crossbar when rounding Alisson (£5.8m) just after the break.

The first of those efforts did, at least, result in a Fantasy assist as the rebound fell to Kane to nod Spurs in front.

The Lilywhites ceded a lot of possession but were a threat at either end of the game, with Kane overhitting a pass to Dele Alli (£8.4m) with the goal gaping, the otherwise poor Christian Eriksen (£8.7m) skewing a volley narrowly wide and Danny Rose (£5.4m) squandering a late chance.

Spurs have some fairly appealing fixtures coming up and they have looked better for the move to a flexible 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 over the last week, with Son maintaining his goal threat despite a move to the left flank.

Security of starts remains a concern regarding many of their Fantasy assets, though: nine different Spurs midfielders have started at least one league game this season, with the fit-again Giovani Lo Celso (£7.3m) another option to factor in on top of that.

Mauricio Pochettino hinted at further rotation in the weeks to come when talking specifically of substitute Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m) after the game:

With 29 players in the squad, it’s so important to rotate and keep them all motivated to play. He played on Tuesday in the Champions League and I think Harry Winks was fresh to play.

That’s normal and what we need from players from the bench to make an impact. But of course, he’s doing good passes. He’s fresh. That’s normal. If it’s the opposite we have a problem.

The ever-present Kane, meanwhile, is one of the most “nailed” premium options in FPL but despite starting ten matches in a row, has still scored fewer points than any of the £10.0m+ options.

At the other end, Gazzaniga obviously appeals because of his budget price tag.

Save points look guaranteed – Spurs have allowed more shots on target than all teams bar Norwich this season – but clean sheets may be harder to come by: no Premier League club has fewer of those (one) in 2019/20.

The fairly awful displays of Rose and Serge Aurier (£4.8m) at full-back at Anfield on Sunday particularly highlighted their weaknesses in defence.

Rose will now be suspended for Gameweek 11 after collecting his fifth booking of the season.

Erik Lamela (£5.9m) missed out on the trip to Merseyside, meanwhile, with Pochettino saying ahead of kick-off:

He suffered a small problem with his thigh yesterday in training. This morning he was checked by the doctor and the decision was made that he couldn’t be involved. We hope it’s not a big issue.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3) Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum (Milner 77′); Salah (Gomez 84), Firmino (Origi 90′), Mane.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Aurier (Moura 83′), Alderweireld, Sanchez, Rose; Sissoko, Winks (Ndombele 62), Alli; Eriksen (Lo Celso 87), Son; Kane.

    With Kun, Ota, Aurier & Cantwell in my team, I need to take some hits now!

    1. Al-Chemy
      • 4 Years

      I was also in the same boat as you. I've taken out Aguero and Cantwell, it's too much of a pain seeing Aguero on the bench!

              Tough times, my friend.

              Who's your ideal (realistic) replacement?

              1. IRBOX ⚽
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I honestly don’t know who the solution is. Would probably take Big Fat Sam to get us to safety - I think his winning percentage is just as good as Silva’s.

            2. Modest Bob

                Barrel -> Bottom -> Scraping

    2. Lev Yashin

      I don't not pay good money to be a member!

    3. st4rty

      Not everybody takes the game so serious to pay for a membership.

      1. st4rty
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That includes me, if I pay for the membership I'd get all the stuff like the ticker, rate my team, expected goals, etc tables which would be cool, but I do well without um, so...

      2. Modest Bob

        Bro i got payed to write that. Don't judge me.

        1. st4rty
          • 5 Years

          Ha.

  3. Al-Chemy
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I haven't watched many Leicester games this season so would appreciate any advice from people who have.
    If I was to get a midfielder in who would be the best option?

    A) Tielemans
    B) Maddison
    C) Barnes
    D) Perez

    Is Maddison worth the extra cash compared to the others?

    Thanks!

    1. Our Man Charlie
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      C Barnes passed the eye test for sure good price too

    2. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tielemans for me,Maddison on set pieces but playing quite deep

    3. Offs!de
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If fund is not an issue, go for Maddison. He will constantly produce points

    4. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tielemans, and Maddison not worth the extra cash

    5. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tielmans 100%

    6. st4rty
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I got Madders last week, if I had to choose now I'd go Barnes/Tielemans.

    7. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I just went for Barnes - think he looks very good and good stats

  4. Lev Yashin
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Arsed it on the last page:

    Bench two of these:

    A) Lund (BUR)
    B) Tomori (wat)
    C) CHO (wat)
    D) Saka (WOL)

    1. Thomas M.
      • 8 Years

      wait and see midweek games and after that take your decision 🙂

      1. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        NO!

        I want to know NOW!

        *completely forgets midweek games, as usual*

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Repost sorry.

    Considering my first ever -8.

    IF Kun plays midweek, how’s this mini WC look for a -8!!

    Kun+C.Wilson+Maddison+Dendo >>>>
    Vardy+Greenwood+Perez/Yarmo/Sterling?

    Pope
    TAA • Lunds • Tomori
    KDB • Mount • Mané • Maddison
    Kun • Tammy • Wilson
    (McG. Rico. Söy. Dendo)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      +Sterling

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not against selling those players but I'd do it only if you want to keep Sterling & Vardy long term.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        No idea what to do this season haha

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Same mate. Still languishing around 2.8m.
          If I manage to break Top 100k by end of the season I'll consider it my best season ever.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hold off man - Vardy has a tough defence and there's nothing to say Kun won't be the man this week over Sterling in a 1wk showdown

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you can stretch to Connolly then it may pay off but as I have seen a -8 is always a big risk when taking out players that are still nailed and could score well.

      My season is going as badly as yours so far so I also have no clue (see below!)

  6. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Who to replace Auba with? I have Vardy and Tammy. I'm thinking about holding and getting Salah and Ings in a couple of weeks because I have to get rid of Boly and Otamendi first.

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      rasford?

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I need more than one good game from United. One good game against something better than Norwich..

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

    Any suggestions for this lot? 1ft, 0 itb.

    Pope
    Taa dunk lund
    Mane kdb Maddison mount
    Kun Wilson Tammy

    Button Söyüncü Rico dendo

    1. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'd shift Kun, no idea who to, tricky to find strikers atm imo

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Team is fine. Hold this week.

  8. Runaway
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Some future thinking, what do you think about Sterling > Salah after GW12 to double up with Mane ? Kind of switching from City double up to Liv one (have KDB as well). Or should I keep Sterling and try to fund KDB > Salah ?

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      im.prefer taa and robertson double up. so many chance creates between them

    2. Phlajo
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Im getting in TAA this week, and then probably Sterling -> Salah after GW12 aswell. Also have Mané and KdB.

      There's no way I'm getting rid of KdB if he's not injured. Seems more nailed than Sterling.

  9. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Whats the deal with connolly? Is trossard back now affect him although he never been nailed

    1. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He is a good sub for 3-5-2 but I would never rely on him as a starter.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah Trossard will definitely affect his playing time by the sounds of what I read on the Brighton forum.

      Most are saying Trossard should come in for Connelly for the Norwich match, which really dimmed his appeal to me.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        *Connolly

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Rotation risk and crap fixtures. Greenwood dropped again. He's now 4.3 and probably a good 3rd sub if playing that formation

  10. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I'm not good with flags etc.
    Boly has a red flag - can he drop or does the flag prevent it?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He can drop. Only when the red flag is removed, is he price locked for a week.

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Red flag only slows it down, not completely stopping so yes he can drop but in a slower rate.

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This is BS. You don’t have to respond if you don’t know.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He's right

        2. Runaway
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          from fplstats:

          "For a player to fall in price quickly i) teams need to be selling the player, ii) the player must be 100% available (i.e. not injured) and iii) the ineffective transfers must be low. "

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Basically I'd rather sell next week

  11. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pope
    TAA - Otamendi - Lundy
    Sterling - Mane - KDB - Mount
    Wilson - Abraham - Pukki

    (4.0 - Tomori - Cantwell - Rico)
    1ft & 0.1m

    Thoughts on Wilson & Pukki ➡️ Vardy & Connolly for -4?

    Will keep Ota for this week and then look at downgrading him in GW12 and upgrade Cantwell to a 6.5m.mid.

    Cheers! 🙂

    1. Don Kloppeone

      Good moves imo yeh

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      I would just sell Wilson.Brighton(a) is not a bad fixture for Pukki.

          Agreed

  12. Lucas8406
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Get
    A) Vardy for Auba and get Jimenez for Ayew play 343
    B) Vardy for Auba and get Perez or Leicester midfielder for Cantwell play 352

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A of those

    2. Lev Yashin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Probably A.

      Vardy will get you returns but LEI midfield points could be anyones. Jimmy is the main threat for WOL (except for the last game, of course)

    Morning!
    I'm in 'things can only get better' mode as I look to climb back up somewhere more respectable than the 1.2M OR I find myself in.

    I stupidly played my 2FT early so this is the team I am left with atm for GW11:

    0.4itb
    Pope
    TAA, Lunds, Willems
    Mané (v), KDB, Mount, Barnes
    Aguero (C), Vardy, Abraham
    (McGovern) (Rico, Dendo, Boly*)

    Clearly Boly should go at some point. Re. Kun, if we somehow get a definitive sign that he won't play vs SOU then I may do:
    Kun, Dendo > Connolly, Sterling (-8)
    If not, then I would rather avoid the hits and give Kun a last swansong!

    Any particular thoughts/ criticisms on my team welcome as my own judgement is failing me this season!
    Cheers

      The best striker for the English National team is the one & only Jamie Vardy!!! 🙂

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Harry Kane, despite his ability to score goals, hinders his own team and the national team with slow movement, greediness and lack of tactical intelligence in-game. I'd be in favour of Vardy leading the line for England too.

            Absolutely Sir 🙂

          Retired from international duty

              Yes, he did the right thing after little playing time although he won't reject a call up if they come knocking at his door

          by gettin rid of Kun whod you prioritize gettin:
          a. Vardy
          b. Sterling

          *got KDB and DIlva also

          1. Party time
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Vardy ofcourse!

            Pope
            TAA Soyuncu Lundstram
            Mount Mane Kdb CHO
            Vardy Abra Kun
            Button - Rico - Boly* - Dendo (0.8itb 1ft)
            Various issues with Kun, Boly and CHO...
            A. Hold for this week.
            B. Kun and Den to sterling and Connolly.
            C. CHO to Trossard/Tielemans/James.
            D. Boly to Cancelo/willems.

            Feels like hold or a hit really!

            Did some thinking any of these moves sensible?

            2FT
            0.3 ITB

            Pope
            TAA, Ota, Soyuncu, Lund, Rico
            Mane, Sterling, KdB, Mount, Hayden
            Pukki, Jimenez, Tammy

            A) Pukki -> Maupay ( save a FT )
            B) Pukki, Ota -> Maupay/Ings/Ayew, Mendy
            C) Pukki, Ota -> Wilson, Janmaat
            D) Pukki, Ota -> Rashford, Kelly
            E) Something else?

              Are you concerned about fixtures after Norwich with A?
              Otherwise I'd go with one of Trossard/maupay myself

              1. Tshelby
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Most likely it will be a one weeks punt if I save one FT

          4. ChelseaKTBFF
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Need to ditch Otamendi, Digne, Cantwell

            I have 2 fts and 3m in bank

            A way to rephrase this would be:

            Who are your ideal defenders for the next 6 gameweeks? And your best budget mid?

            1. Tshelby
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              For me something like this :

              TAA, Rico, Lund, Mendy, X

              Tielemans, Mount, Mcginn,James,..

            2. teneighty
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I'm looking at a Newcastle defender.
              In midfield I would probably get Tielemans.

          5. Nailed Jesus
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Cancelo vs Mendy. Who is more nailed? Cancelo has better underlying stats. Is everyone going for Mendy for the hope he will return like he did before injury kept him out?

            1. goriuanx
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I think Mendy is a transfer waiting to happen and could be benched in any GW. While the latter reason applies to Cancelo too, I think it's clear to see how good he is. He should be a mainstay in that City defence.

              1. Tshelby
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Oh didn't know that about Mendy. So Mendy isn't really a good option to go City defense?

                1. goriuanx
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  He's going to get points when he plays, but the weekend was an example of how his minutes will be managed moving forward.

                  1. Tshelby
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Cheers Berb! Going to keep that in mind.

            2. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              i'm tempted by ota to cancelo but that could really come and haunt me if ota starts and cancelo is benched..

              1. Nailed Jesus
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I'm more tempted to take a hit for Ota to Mendy because of how leaky Southampton are on that wing, but I'm afraid the move will be too short term and might not pay off.

            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Best set of moves this week?

            A) Salah + Cantwell > KDB + D Silva
            B) Salah + Cantwell > KDB + Maddison/Tielemans

            Cheers

                  depends who you own I suppose.

                  TAA, Soy & Lundy should be in most teams I reckon.

              Aguero > Vardy move looks set to produce a double Aguero fall and double Vardy rise this week.

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I would do it if I had Aguero, he’s obviously not nailed and Vardy is

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

                  Managers seem to have capitulated en masse. They’re not willing to wait for SOU (H).

              Salah/Wilson > Mane/Vardy worth it?
              Or any better options for bringing Vardy in?

              Ayew has turned out to be quite a decent budget pick. Tempted to find a cheap rotation pair there or play him after gw14 when his fixtures are lovely.

              Pukki to Maupay looks appealing this week.

              Norwich suck and can't defend.

              Low hanging fruit, really, no?
