Key Liverpool assets in place as Aubameyang sits on Arsenal bench

Liverpool’s key assets are all set to face a much-rotated Arsenal side at the Emirates Stadium.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.2m) both retain their places from the draw with Burnley, each one boasting a vested interest in the Golden Boot race.

Their exploits on Wednesday evening could be pivotal to the outcome of Gameweek 36+ considering that their backing inside the top 10,000 FPL managers took a dip for the midweek round of action.

We know that many Free Hit managers overlooked the pair in favour of Chelsea and Manchester City counterparts, although those two clubs have largely struggled to completely fulfil their promise against Norwich and Bournemouth respectively.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) start a match together for the first time since Gameweek 33+ with Neco Williams (£4.0m) back on the Liverpool bench.

Those invested in the Liverpool full-backs, or either of the centre-halves, will be pleased to see who is sitting on the Arsenal one.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) has lost his place this evening, named among the substitutes for the first time since the Premier League restarted.

In the striker’s place, Mikel Arteta has named Reiss Nelson (£ and Nicolas Pépé (£8.9m) either side of Alexandre Lacazette (£9.2m) in the front-three.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Tierney, Holding, D Luiz, Cédric; Xhaka, Torreira, Saka; Nelson, Lacazette, Pépé.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    No Salah frightens me. With him, though, meant no Dilva. Good with the bad...

  2. Athletic Nasherbo

    Foden to start against Watford?

    Imagine he won’t be playing the in the Cup...

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

      He was quite poor today so who knows

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He was absolutely out of shape today. He needs KDB obviously

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah looked poor, just thinking whether to hold then get rid for Dilva against Norwich.

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

      A rested KDB?

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      bringing in Salah...don't really see it as a game changer

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

      KDB got the rest ...

    Gut wrenching to lose a clean sheet + bonus to a controversial 96th minute penalty

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

      I have had Boly mostly for the the last second cs losses and on bench when cs.

  10. Pinturicchio10
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Real carnage. My City triple up brought me 3 pts in total

        1. Pinturicchio10
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Holy Sh!t, that's brutal. Sigh.

      2. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thi game is brutal, just need to ride out 2 more GW's and then will new season, new chips and fresh hopes....

        TC'd Mane and wasted FH on Chelsea and City...

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Salah/Mane owners must be loving this, bar David Silva, Citeh game an absolute car crash.

        • 11 Years

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          He’s captain material this week with that fixture surely

      6. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Liverpool will batter Arsenal by at least 3. Salah haul incoming

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

        Just saw the scoreline after heavy work.
        Sterling (c) fail. But brought in my fav player for a hit for Mahrez 🙂
        And GW injured? Wow

      8. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Well, Jesus DSilva Pulisic Azpi on FH going largely well so far. Just a shame Sterling came in and was captained lol.

        And that Pope CS loss hurt a bit

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Will the United boys hurt you though? Seen plenty of FH teams without Spurs and United.

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            ..And Pool.

          2. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I’ve still got Bruno (wish I captained), Greenwood first sub (wish he could’ve came on for Sterling!) sold Rashford, haven’t owned Martial since the restart.

            So really, as long as Bruno is the main points scorer should be ok

            1. Royal5
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Yh. Think it was wise not to ditch Bruno at least!

      9. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Rough: Raheem captain

        Smooth: David Silva, Alonso, Azpi, Kane

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Well done on Kane.

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Was Kane injured at the end? Looking to bring in for Vardy

      10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Anyone throwing Lundstram in this week?

        Reckon he might get the start given the quick turnaround & his recovery from the shoulder

        Signs off with one last mega haul for loyal owners???

        1. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

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

        Considering my main rival played FH and captained Sterling for Salah out..

        I could really do with him going wild

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

        Gonna be scary watching this now with no Liverpool attack, hopefully the damage is minimal

      14. Party time
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Not looking like a good gw for free hitters

          1. TRIPOS TOPPER
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I got in Jesus and Alonso

            1. Party time
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Well played

            2. Mortal.Swinbat
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              My original team out scoring my free hit one with one less player. The joys of FPL

          2. Shultan
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Kane/Son/Jim punish sellers

            Time for Salah & Mane to do the same?

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

            20% of the Top 10k get Sterling’s point doubled 🙂

          4. MrZ

            Foden you utter idiot.

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

              Captaining?

            2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Lol

            3. Rolls-Royce
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              He looked garbage. All he can do is back pass and sideways pass.

            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Kane to Jesus for a -4 is a kick in the giggleberries

          6. Ci Siamo
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Is Basham likely to start tomorrow?

          7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years

            Be gentle Mo

            At least use lots of lube

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Not sure what to think of the team I’m reverting back to... KDB Mahrez have at least had they’re rest now, and Doherty finally got an attacking return when I FH him out...

            & Aurier still playing bless him, had bookMarked that as a transfer out already
