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.

    Mane could have had couple of assists. Gini the latest to waste from 5m.

  2. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Trent pissing the baps away

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      considering his %EO it doesn't really matter

  3. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Burnley v Palace next gw should be a great game...

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Only 3 players on each bench pre-match?

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

      CS points already added.

  4. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Well rested Son(C) vs shu next gw looks tenpting right?

    If Sheffield united feilds their first team against arsenal in fa cup quarters they will play 4 times before they face spurs in gw32+

    Spurs meanwhile will have only played 2 games before gw32+. Huge contrast in freshness of both squads

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Aurier guaranteed CS too?

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Good shout this

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

    VVD assist
    Robin assist
    TAA goal

    Back to that choice again

  6. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is Sterling to Salah worth a hit?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Will Salah start regularly once they're champions?

      1. EL tridente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        The same argument can be stated with the City players.. They will may also rest players for Champions League and will most likely have both KDB and Mahrez

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Dependso who the other transfer is.

      1. EL tridente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Leno to Martinez

    3. freesega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You'll find out tomorrow

  7. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    We need another Salah goal for bonus

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

    Better if City win tomorrow and potentially win the title at the Etihad.

    Or

    City drop points, guard of honour at the Etihad.

    Such hard dilemmas for Liverpool.

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      The City Pool game would be pretty anti climatic if they lose tmw

    2. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Beat Man City to win the title ... nothing sweeter than it

    3. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Rather it gets wrapped up as soon as possible and Chelsea will be a tough match

    4. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      0-0 tie to win the title?

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

      City slip up at Chelsea and they win it in the most muted circumstances possible

  9. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mane red card please

    1. SuperMane Returns

  13. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Got salah and mane for first time ever. Thought it would be more fun than this

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

      Perfect balance for the whole season was 1 DEF and 1 MID..i think..other combinations would be too much

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      They just making love to each other and ignoring you?!

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not too bad now

    4. Podge
      • 13 Years

      You were saying ?

      1. Easy Cheesy

  15. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Another mane assist wasted

  16. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Salah tonight?

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty much playing like Salah, getting chances

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah suppose. Needs the second goal or assist to get anywhere near the BAPS as ever

    2. Ode
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not worth 12.7m but better than Mane

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Suppose if you pay that money you Captain him and expect him to score. He’s done that

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Ha!

      3. WD27
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Who is worth 12.7 if the HIGHEST scoring mid in the game isn't?

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Lacking sharpness.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Does he ever look sharp?

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          He does when he's had a run of games injury-free.

  17. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mane disasterclass. Could cry but I won't.

  18. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Haven't been on here for a while. What's the thing with people constantly replying ban to the slightest p*ss taking post?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It's the equivalent of being angry at a Facebook post

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Ah so just a further indictment of the internet and people going slightly mad using it...

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          People taking FPL to heart far too much. Myself included sometimes.

          1. Bartowski
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            People always took FPL to heart on this site as I'm sure you know as you've been a member for about the same time as me.

            Never seen this kind of vitriol though, occasional antagonist like Breadbin yes but it is definitely getting worse...

    Get out of my team mane

  20. FPL Daniel

    3 years, 10 months ago

    What will Klop do after they mathematically win the title? Will he do full rotation or stick with his guns?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Stick,points record and Salah go for top scorer.

    2. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Rotation but not extreme rotation

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I reckon ease off and treat it almost like a preseason

    4. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Try to find where to play Minamino for next season, probably.

  21. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah outside the box, no tap in no goal

  22. La Vida Latte
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is Guaita injured? Any news on that?

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, Guiata got a muscle strain sadly 🙁

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Too bad! Is he out for long?

        1. Tasty Jerk
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Really hope not, we should know more tomorrow.
