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.

        Was that a penalty? Im leaning towards foul on Doherty - high kick/ dangerous play.

        Pretty instinctive to protect his face. Was sure it was going to be withdrawn....

          you should know Premier league is comedy gold when it comes to refereeing.

        So pep roulette. Tempted to sell KDB cos he'll play the fa cup semi. Or am I overthinking it

            He'll play everything from now on

            Likely right move for GW37 too.

            Could be 2 FA Cup and 3 Champions League games

            As well as the 2 remaining league games.

                    Getting close to the end, can't wait the new season

                      Same, it’s like when you dispose of the body and it’s just a faint memory now

                    All of them since restart have been utter tosh for me.

        5. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          3 years, 9 months ago

          Is Greenwood certain for a no-show?

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

            Should start from bench i guess

          2. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            It's possible United are just making a point about Romeu's tackle.

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

              Good point

              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Well there is hope! Don't want Aurier 2nd bench points ...

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

          I blaim the 5 subs rule. Its stupid.

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

            Not so fun for FPL

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

            It's possible, with a 5 sub rule, that the FPL game may change as well.

          How are the Free Hitters feeling?

            Absolutely gutted

            Like they should have waited until 38

            3 years, 9 months ago

            Numb to it now.

            Everything I've done since lockdown has been an epic fail. May just as well TC GK cos it can't be any worse than capping guys like Sterling or KdB for 1 point cameos or naff all.

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

            Currently a bit better off than non fh team. Last min azpi to Robertson and D Silva to sterling (c) is pretty bitter.

            Have Salah and Robertson though so may feel a lot better in 2 hours

          5. Ragabolly
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Feeling great

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

            Okay. Sterling captain fail hurts but having Jesus Silva Azpi Puli, ditching KDB has paid off so far.

            Losing Doherty and him then wiping Pope CS a bit annoying though

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

            Mini-league leader went triple Chelsea + has Silva and Jesus so I would say he feeling pretty good about now

          8. Hect.OR 98th
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Not bad. 32 from 6. Sterling (c) disappointing but reasonably happy.

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

            Good on paper

          10. Godfrey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Fantastic, from 109k to 57k with Salah, Bruno (c), Digne left.

          Just noticed that Greenwood is flagged.

          Anyone do Greenwood > Wood/Jay Rodriguez?

          I only have one sub available as Lascelles & Hayden both injured

          Thanks in advance!

          With so many FH'ers around is Trent sort of a differential this week?

          Have BPS been updated on Wolves Burnley?
          Any chance Pope joins this 20 BPS party and gets some juicy bonus?

        15. Bobby Digital

          Had Matt Ritchie since the restart - gave me f... all.
          Dropped him on FH...

          You just got to laugh sometimes.

          I was all set on Foden captain all week but bottled it last minute and went to Fernandes.

          Given how this season is going it’s very likely Fernandes is sent off tomorrow. Sorry In advance owners

          1. Fudgy

            Is he in your first XI? If not surely better things to spend your FTs on with only 2 games left than a 4.3 defender.

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

              Nah but I’m BB in 37+

            ML leader is having a season for the ages. He's capped Salah.

            Naturally, I went with Raz.
