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.

    I dont think they’re is any other gameweek I can remember where I’ve felt so many different emotions, from p#%sing myself laughing at City blanking ( didn’t happen) to feeling smug about Mane benching, Salah, Robbie & Trent owner ) karma is truly a bitch:’)

    Gomez looks to be the answer to England's CB problem.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Problem being at least another CB has to partner him.

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years

        Maguire is shoo in. I wish VVD + Maguire would ever be a partnership. Would.be beast

      Looking like I'm gone from LMS. On 34 with Martial, Alli and KDB to go. Been a nice run but now tempted to either wildcard and go rogue or give up. Getting v v bored

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        how do you work that out? 34 with 3 left is clearly average and will survive LMS

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Currently a safety score of 32. Many will have more city players, Aubam, possibly Chelsea etc.

          1. Van der Faart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Safety is 31 atm and most in around that only have 1 more player than you so you're likely to survive I'd say

      2. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years

        Surely it'll be a low scoring week? Returns from Martial and/or Alli and you'll be fine?

        50 with Kun (c) and KDB for me, which nearly halves my rank. It's been a mediocre week for most.
