Mane on Liverpool’s bench as Klopp names strong side to face Norwich

Sadio Mané (£12.2m) is back in the Liverpool matchday squad following his Double Gameweek 24 injury – but he has been named on the bench to face Norwich.

It appears as if Jurgen Klopp plans to ease the Senegalese international back into full fitness, especially with Champions League commitments coming up midweek.

Despite fears there would be rotation at Carrow Road, the remainder of the key Fantasy Premier League assets find themselves in the starting line-up.

Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) comes into Gameweek 26 as the most captained asset, the highest-owned Liverpool option and more double-figure hauls since Gameweek 26 than any other player.

Armed with all those accolades, the Egyptian finds himself in the starting line-up alongside Roberto Firmino (£9.7m), Liverpool’s away top-scorer this season, as well as popular full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m).

Meanwhile, Daniel Farke goes with an unchanged selection from the side that drew 0-0 at Newcastle last time out.

That means another start for Todd Cantwell (£4.9m) while Teemu Pukki (£6.5m), who scored in the reverse fixture, leads the line up-front.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Byram, Zimmermann, Hanley, Aarons; Tettey, McLean; Cantwell, Duda, Rupp; Pukki.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Keita, J Henderson, Wijnaldum; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Firmino, Salah.

        Dortmund are a genuine threat. They have so much attacking talent and won't be overrawed

    8. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This is the first game with any heavy hitters from my squad... (Ings notwithstanding).

      TAA, Gomez, Salah (C)... Gomez still a quality differential.

      Mane will definitely come on as Klopp said in his pre match interview that we will use him

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Will probs come on 65th min for Salah so both are a bit fresher for Madrid

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Or for Firmino imo. Salah can run more 🙂

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe. Depends on the scoreline. If comfortably in front, Origi and Mane will be on for Bobby and Mo

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

      Whenever Liverpool play, everyone's scores just go shooting up. I'm on 23 with the Ings bap right now, could easily be double that by the end of the match. But I won't get my hopes up too much.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Especially with Cantwell too!

    15. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't care if I've got double pool defense, I want my boy Cantwell to score!!!

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years

        that's my boy

      2. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He would need to score a couple though to make it worth your while

    16. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      honestly not much between Salah first 59 and Mane the later 31 mins.

      esp if its a low scoring affair

      1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Mane to come on for the last 75-80 mins imo

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not for Salah. Probably for Ox

      This is the problem with today's society

      Many people will believe everything they read. Be it FPL or fake news created by the press to feed their own agenda

      Open your eyes and do your own research not just against what's being said but the source. It takes a bit of effort but better than being spoonfed information and taking it as the truth
