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.

    Now we have deadline before GW37.

    Dilva and Foden played 90min, so likely they won't start FA Cup game and could start against Brighton?
    Play them and dont bench?

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years

      Play (they have Watford)

      Im on the same thing

      But thinking about Foden out as he's been really underwhelming

      Great xGI but cant convert

      1. Strchld

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Foden was really bad tonight. And he was my captain.

    On a BB, need to change Lascelles out, best option for up to 4.3??

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Burnley def other than injured Taylor.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Is he out for the Brighton game?

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

        Not sure, do you think we’ll get news? Lascelles close to dropping...

      Pieters.

        Is he nailed? I know Gudmondson return from injury was going to replace him?!

  3. Cookie Kid

    9 from 4, any good?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years

      Very good

    2. potatoace

        Wow- how?

      2. Cookie Kid

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Wow - link?

        I’m not 11 from 5 with Salah blanking.:.

    Would a real fan ever want their team to get battered just so you can get fantasy points? Shocking stuff

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Real players separate real life fandom from the fantasy game

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      To be fair really glad I support a Scottish team. Reason I enjoy the game so much I think! Whoever who you talk of probably isn’t a true fan

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

      depends if the team has nothing left to play for or not I suppose

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years

      Not your choice after you press the transfer button 🙂

      I capped Bruno in GW31 as I thought we'd get battered by Man Utd
      Thought if we do, Bruno is probably going to be involved in everything so at least I get some fantasy points. While if we don't, then I will have a captain fail but a decent result for my team.
      Result: Sheff Utd lose 3-0 but it was literally the only GW where Bruno blanked - classic FPL!

    If Greenwood is out I will be getting Aurier's points. Connolly 2nd sub. Oh well.

    GW33 - TC Salah = 6 , VC Fernandes = 15
    GW34 - C KDB = 7 , VC Fernandes = 14
    GW35 - C Salah = 2 , VC Sterling = 21
    GW36 - C Pulisic = 6 , VC DSilva = 13

    Total points difference = 51

    Right there is my top 10k rank out the window.

              3 years, 9 months ago

              Thanks buddy. I might have to bring in Kdb now

          I hate the captaincy...it should be worth 1.5 x points, not double.

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

            it does seem to have a terrible influence on my rank every season

      • g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Mane G

      • Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No tempo in this game without the fans. Not sure it’s going to be a goal fest.

      • Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Mane G
        Robbo A

        Lovely goal.

      • Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        The old Robbo/Mane combo when you have TAA/Salah 🙁

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

          I was pondering but decided against it..

        Mane to Sterling went well.

      • Party time
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Sold Mané for Sterling. Beautiful goal

        • Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Swapped Mané to Salah on FH. Oops

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

          What did you see Salah's reaction when Mane scored 😆

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

            Unbelievable, down in my estimation there

        • Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years

            He’s dropped 0.3m... I think everyone has

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

              Wow, didn't realise he dropped 0.3m!

            2. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              I bought at 12.5m after lockdown so it’s tested my patience!

              People surprised to see Liverpool batter arsenal? The Team who has nearly 100 points this season playing against a "top team"?

          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Lol

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

          I can’t believe this, I sold Mane for Sterling.
          When will this torture end

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

            Around 6 o'clock on the 26th.

        • WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Was Salah jumping up and down in annoyance when Mane scored there?

        • LE CHARO
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          That FH is going very well. Got rid of Mané for Sterling (C)

        • how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I don't often say this, and I cant see how it would happen, but an arsenal goal would be very welcome.

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Lies

        • Zilla
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Mane 6.1% only? Massive massive differential

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

          Another benefit of FH: would have sold Mané for Sterling had I not played it

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yes true, at least I get him back
