Recapping the best Liverpool players ahead of FPL restart

Runaway league leaders Liverpool come under the spotlight as we continue our team-by-team recap ahead of the Fantasy Premier League resumption in June.

Initially looking back at the six Gameweeks before the suspension of play in mid-March, we will also highlight wider, season-long trends as we run the rule over the red half of Merseyside.

It doesn’t take a genius to deduce who the obvious candidates are but settling on the right combination of players from Jurgen Klopp’s side is an ongoing process.

Is Sadio Mane (£12.5m) preferential to Mohamed Salah (£12.7m), for example? And can Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) ever get close to Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s (£7.8m) output?

We turn to the data in the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area as we delve deeper, so only subscribers can access the article in full.

    Can I do unlimited transfers and then use my wild card?!

      You can make unlimited transfers ahead of GW30+ and your second Wildcard (if it's still intact) can then be used from GW31+ onwards.

      1. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry I didn’t mean wildcard! I meant free hit! Can I do unlimited transfers and then activate my free hit?

        1. Skonto Rigga
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nope!

        2. FPL ZB
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah but the transfers won’t count, it will revert to GW38

        3. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Youll go back to the team u had pre lockdown/ the one u have right now before naking that transfers

          In other words all your unlimited transfers pre FH will be lost

          1. Mufc202020
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Ahh very annoying! Thanks all!!

  2. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Are you starting with a FH?

    A. Yes
    B. No
    Either way, which Pool players are you planning on having?

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B
      TAA

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No, TAA only

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No. TAA and Salah/Mane.

    4. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B
      None (Bringing back Salah & Mane in GW31+ WC)

    5. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A, and proud

    6. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B
      TAA and Salah

  3. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I’m probably going with A

    I’m keeping Salah and TAA. Maybe Mane too. Unsure on him.

  4. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I’m going to lose all my TV but do wonder how much I’ll want it for the run in. Wing backs and wingers now look much more risky, and a lot of teams will have nothing to play for.

    Low TV might not really matter

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Points over TV

  5. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    1) Should I go with the cheapest possible bench if using FH?

    2) If not using this week, when’s the next best time to use BB?

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why would you use FH? It’s unlimited transfers

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Because his team is good and he doesnt have any WC left?

        1. davies
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          This

          Hendo Pope
          TAA Alonso Lund Saiss Taylor
          Salah KDB Bruno Barnes Cantwell
          Auba Jimenez DCL

          Happy with this lot for the start of the run in

      2. Ron_Swanson
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Because he wants to get a team for the DGW and is happy with his regular team.

  6. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone considering going in with Ederson and Leno for the double? Cheaper to afford Egan and O’Connell for example to cover SHU

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Im thinking leno and reina. Laporte over ederson?

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No. Hendo for sure. With Ederson or Reina.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      That's exactly what I'm going with. Ederson + Leno + two SHU defenders.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yep and me with O’Connell/Egan Trent and Aarons

    4. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on Leno and Henderson atm with BB active

  7. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lads, is it good? Still have my WC, will bench booost on GW30+

    Leno / Pope
    TAA / Egan / Boly / O'Connell / Lascelles
    Salah / KDB (c) / Bruno / Grealish / Saka
    Auba / Jiménez / Samatta

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Where is Aguerrrooooo

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I like this team. Your team value must be great, I'm 1.5m short of affording anything like this. Am building towards something similar but with Nketiah instead of Samatta and Reina instead of Leno.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Very good to hear that, mate, I do appreciate it

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1 x City? Not for me.

    4. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Downgrade Salah and Bruno and get Aguero

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Salah and Jimmi out, Mahrez and Kun in? Trouble is I'd lose .2 selling Salah...

        1. POLSKA GOLA
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I’d do it

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks a lot, mate, I do appreciate it!

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Worth using FH if I will loose 1.3 mill. if I want the same players, TAA, Mane, Salah, Jimenez and Vardy, back on WC for next GW?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Who will you deem to score riots instead?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        In dgw? Sterling, Grealish, Kun and Stevens

        1. Geordie19
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Transfer values become less important as weeks grow

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Just that I’ll have 1.3 mill to spend on WC in GW 31

            1. Geordie19
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              I guess go with what you think is better.
              A fh this week and you keep value for wc
              Or use the Unlimited tfs for bench boost.
              Higher point ceiling for the latter but less value for you.

              I’d go with the lower value as when you wc you may go with rash son Kane etc as they have something to play for or relegation teams..

        2. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Tough probably I will FH rather than struggling to bring back the longer term players on WC. Are we going to have better GW later to use FH?

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You won't lose 1.3m if you use FH - you get the players back and there are no price changes before the gameweek 30+

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        But these players will cost me 1.3 mill more to buy back on WC in GW 31

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          But if you're using FH you will start GW 31 with the squad you had started GW 30 with - you're not really selling them

    3. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Points over team value surely. Only Pool player I’m keeping is TAA because I think he can outscore any DGW defender. Jimi will most likely go as well.
      You may want different players back on a WC. Rashford and Son are knocking on the door as well

  9. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is the unlimited transfers confirmed?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently

    2. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Log in and see, it looks like it

  10. yanky

    Henderson Leno
    Otamendi Targett Egan Oconnell TAA

    1. potatoace

      Decent.
      Is Otta going to play?

    Repost
    I have reshuffled my pack with UNLIMITED FREE TRANSFERS 😀

    Henderson
    Taa Eagan Siass
    Mane KDB Bruno Grealish
    Auba© Vardy Jimenez
    3.9 lascelles Luiz Taylor

    I am keeping my FH in the bag for a rainy day.

    How's she looking 😉

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nice team, Mane v Salah conundrum as usual ...

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Bro.
        I sold Salah for mane to get 0.2 to upgrade Stephens to Egan 😀

        Good to see you

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Ok cool I haven’t touched my team as yet and Salah is there. Only realised it’s open just. Happy shovelling 😉

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Ha ha

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good but remember Henderson can't play in GW31 because he's on loan from United.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Wow 😮
        Thanks for the heads up

  12. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone for Traore as a SGW punt? Think I'd get more out of him than say a McGinn...

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Difficult to know if he will start.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        True. Not a great deal in the sub 6m range.

  13. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on having the likes of Saka, Nketiah or even Mendy for a DGW benchboost? Need some cheap DGW players and would also like a Man City defender.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm probably going to get Nketiah. I know he won't start both and might not start any but he should get some minutes and at 4.4m I like what he enables the rest of my squad to be.

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nketiah and D Luiz for me. 4.4 each, allows me to get 5-6 big hitters in.

  14. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    More Salah cap fail in FPL. Should’ve kept Mane on WC on Saturday night.

  15. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you be happy with this squad for gw31+ (week after dgw)?

    Pope Hendo
    TAA Gomez Egan Basham Taylor
    Salah KDB Bruno Traore Cantwell
    Jiminez DCL Jota

    6.2 ITB. Only FH & BB left

    A. Yes, play FH this week
    B. No, make a fresh team with free transfers and BB

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      BB after WC is best. This is a WC.
      So I'd go with BB.

  16. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Sorry repost form earlier.. would appreciate a little advice as to what Plan I should take moving forward folks, I did a slow wildcard to get my team as it is now for a strong bench boost, NO WC left but have FH, TC and BB all left!! What do you think my best strategy would be?? Many thanks in advance.....

  17. fachada

    Suggestion for BB team for 30+ gameweek:

    Ederson/Pope
    TAA/David LuizBasham/Egan/Aarons
    Salah/KDB/Grealish/Sakha/Cantwell
    Auba/Aguero/Mousset

    is this an accurate template?

  18. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Team for DGW30 with 12 DGW players and using BB, looking to WC the following week, any thoughts much appreciated, thanks :

    Hendo
    TAA / Laporte / Egan
    Salah / KDB / Grealish / McGinn
    Auba / Aguero / Nketiah

    BB sub bench of... Leno, Fleck, Targett, Lascelles.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very nice. Almost the same as mine only differences being Ederson, Stevens and Douglas Luiz instead of Henderson, Laporte and McGinn.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same front 3 I’m currently looking at. Not so much the rest.

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        What are you doing with your Pool players? Keeping due to TV like me or no? Thanks.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I’m thinking of ditching and just bringing back in Salah only after

    3. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t expect much from McGinn. Will take a few games to get back in to it and unlikely to play the full 90

  19. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) Saiss + Guendouzi + Kun
    B) Boly + Saka + Auba

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Does the modified fodder needs to play ??
      If yes, then B.
      Otherwise A

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Will benchboost this week. Otherwise, not necessary

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          B then ..
          Can downgrade Boly to Siass and upgrade Saka to someone else too. McGinn can be good differential if needed

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B as i think they are very slightly more nailed and therefore likely constitute more minutes?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers!

  20. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How’s she cuttin? BB draft from earlier.

    Henderson, Reina
    Baldock, O’Connell, Targett, Alonso, Doherty
    Kdb, Pepe, Mahrez, Pulisic, D Luiz
    Aguero, Aubameyang, Nkietah

  21. NFZM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is Nketiah and Martinelli a stupid combo? I’m thinking yes but have them in my BB team to save cash for other areas.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Waste of 2 positions in BB in my honest opinion ....

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Do you have the second WC?

      1. NFZM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yep, BB, FH and second wildcard left. Difficult to fit in others and Salah/TAA/Kun, KDB/Sterling.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I wouldn't want both of them for a BB personally but you'd have the luxury of immediately getting rid of them

  22. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    BB Draft

    Leno Ederson
    Trent Egan Basham Wan Bissaka Aaron’s
    Fernandes Sterling Sarr Grealish Fleck
    Aubameyang AgueroC Pukki

    Any thoughts? No chips left...

  23. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    For those using BB chip

    Who are the NON DGW players youre looking at.

    I cant afford the pool players sadly.
    Need 1 defender and two attacking players (2 mids or 1+ 1 fwd)

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      In my first draft;

      Foster, Trent and Robertson

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Salah, TAA and Lascelles in my current draft.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Lacelles is a good shout for me why didnt i think of hin

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Im looking at something like Ings, doherty barnes or something like that atm but notbsure

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I currently have Doherty, Alonso and Pulisic.

    Whats the press conference/ team news situation going into next week?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mostly by Zoom, I think. Jose's going to do his nude from the waist down with the Simpson's couch as his virtual background.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        😆

        Do you know when they take place?

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I'm not sure - what do the Germans do? I expect it will be very similar.

  25. Miguel Sanchez

    Think I'll ignore the free transfers and go FH 30+ and BB31+... will only see me miss out on an extra couple of players over those who BB30+ with 12x DGWs

    FH30+

    Leno
    TAA Stevens Baldock
    Sterling KDB Pepe Grealish McGinn
    Aguero Auba

    BB31+
    McCarthy Krul
    TAA Doherty Alonso Maguire Fernandez
    Salah KDB Bruno Richarlison Barnes
    Jimenez Ings DCL

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks a good plan

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah I like this

  26. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    After the first week back I love the look of these front 8 but have to drop one obviously.

    Who do you drop?

    Salah, Kdb, Son, Fernandes, Pulisic
    Rashford, Jiminez, Jota

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pulisic I suppose.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pulisic definitely

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      pulisic

      may need kane in there

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah Kane has the fixtures to go bonkers.

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Comes down to Alonso, Salah and Jota V Gomez, Pulisic and Kane.

        I thought the former looked an obvious winner at first glance but I think it is much closer than it looks.

    4. HamezMace
      • 9 Years

      No WC?
      I’d be concerned only having one DGW attacker.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I have WC. Sorry I’m looking at this attack after the DGW.

    5. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jota or Pulisic.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Piper. Just love the Wolves fixtures and they are pushing for the CL spaces.

  27. OverTinker

    119 points after Mane(TC) worked. Sane disappointed a bit but it feel so great considering till 4-0 Mane had no attacking return

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Great score. 102 points has got me up to 28th, my best virtual rank since GW1

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        wow great rank man. I am at 282. Although all other chips still to go but i don't think i can even touch top 100 now

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          just TC left (Auba in GW34) for me, it's been a good season for me except one GW when I lost 50 points on the leaders.

    What does people think about mendy? Good differential?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same old problem unlikely to get two starts.

  29. jg7u
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How likely will Reece James start?

    1. Exeterslowly
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not nailed on but a sure starter. I’d rather choose a better wing back from another team

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think Lampard will be forced to play him in a 3-4-3 with Jorginho and Kante missing reducing the ability to play 3 in midfield.

      Kepa
      Azpi Tomori Rudiger
      James Gilmour Kovacic Alonso
      Pulisic Mount
      Abraham

      would be my guess vs Villa

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah Alonso and Pulisic are in for me. I get Villa are fighting for their lives but I just don’t think they are good enough.

    guys will price rises still happen with these unlimited transfers in place now?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nope, prices are locked

    2. boredjames
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      "Prices of players will not change until after the GW30+ deadline has passed"
      sorry should have read
