Salah back as Klopp names full-strength side for Palace clash

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) is back in the Liverpool starting line-up for Gameweek 31+.

The Egyptian remained an unused substitute for the 0-0 draw with Everton on Sunday following a precautionary absence in a pre-Project Restart friendly.

But it’s back to full-strength for Jurgen Klopp’s men tonight as Crystal Palace come to Anfield.

He has kept faith in Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m), combining them with Salah in the front-three.

As expected, Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) is back in the Liverpool defence, joined there by Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m), Joe Gomez (£5.3m) and, of course, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m).

Crystal Palace have matched Liverpool’s 4-3-3 formation with one of their own, deploying Andros Townsend (£5.6m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m) either side of the in-form budget striker Jordan Ayew (£5.2m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, J Henderson, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey; van Aanholt, Cahill, Sakho, J Ward; McArthur, McCarthy, Kouyaté; Townsend, Zaha, Ayew.

    TAA could be a proper difference maker for England with his delivery. But we need a proper mobile defensive midfielder who can cover for him when he goes forward. Woefully short in the DM department

      Harry Kane

        Lol

        Kane would be ideal for a Firmino role, IMO.

        McTam is the future

      Dier?

      1. diesel001

        Too slow and not agile. The reason Liverpool are good is their mobility.

      Kalvin Phillips

      AWB adaptable to that maybe?

  6. Bubz

    Trent wouldve been a solid cap choice to be fair. Huge probability of a CS and gets attacking returns more often than not as well

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Didn't you get rid of him?

      1. Bubz

        They say so, at least more than before...

  14. Camzy

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Why not C?!?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Because Salah.

  15. Rainer

    Points for everyone really.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Surprisingly large chunk that down own.

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years

    Good that they scored it early also because palace have to come at them

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Palace don't care mate... just don't want to get trounced

  17. Dybala10
    • 6 Years

    Christ I must be the only one without Trent. Eurgh that isn’t good.

    1. Party time
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Fair play

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Trent the young assassin. Him and KdB are the only players I will not sell. Ever.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed
        Probably

    3. Party time
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Trent give Mané an assist asap

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          No not Mane, Martial

          1. Party time
              3 years, 10 months ago

              😆 I’ll take that too

        2. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Anything less than 8.5 next year for Trent is mad. Even that feels considerably too cheap.

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            8m

            1. CloudSky
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              The only players that are outscoring him cost on average somewhere in the range of 11 mil plus. 8 feels cheap.

          2. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Shhh, dont give them ideas. 7.0 for TAA is the right price

            1. CloudSky
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              No point in having him that cheap, as every decent player should have him, bar some weird scenarios/one week chips. We need variety and decisions, not pick and plug players.

          3. Whiskerz
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            First double figures defender?

            1. CloudSky
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Should be, should be.

        3. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Need to remind myself of that goal when his price comes in at 8.5m next season... 😀

          1. Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Don't forget his 14 assists

          2. SackWenger
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Could well be his price tag

        4. el polako
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          So I captained Bruno, my main cash ML rival TAA.

          God I wish full lockdown was still in place...

        5. Right In The Stanchion
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Trent AA a dead cart for young player of the year? I put £10 on at the start of the season...

          1. Weak Become Heros
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Certainly.

            1. Right In The Stanchion
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Nice... should have bet more

          2. Right In The Stanchion
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Cert

          3. Chandler Bing
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            What odds did you get for him?

        6. Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Don’t understand TAA goal excitement. Pretty much everyone has him..

          1. dansmusen
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            I went up 10k on that goal so why not get excited

            1. Vazza
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Ok fair enough in that case..

          2. Party time
              3 years, 10 months ago

              I am excited because I’ve got him & 57.2% of people don’t. Also, he is getting max baps most likely. Perfect for Salah cappers

              C TAA here

            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            What happened to Ritchie? I see he is now flagged? Was hoping to have him in on my FH this weekend.

          4. Boomerang V
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            At least I got something right! TAA/VVD double up! pheew

            Still on a red arrow though

          5. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Trent range

          6. Babelcopter
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            So there’s still people who think AWB should start before Trent on England shirt?

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Solid case just to start Trent in midfield

            2. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Do think it depends who we are playing. We ain't a top team. We are a very good team though. Against top teams there is a possibility of playing TAA in front of AWB, IMO. Wouldn't mind having AWB and TAA on the right against Brazil, France etc.

            3. Chandler Bing
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              AWB better defensively imo

            4. Tinkermania
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              There are still people who think Robertson is better fpl asset. Or have they all seen the light? 😉

            5. SackWenger
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Not sure a free kick justifies it either way
