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.

      Has anyone been playing Fantasybet? I’d it open? I had a good run on there before lockdown. Actually cashed back into my account

    1. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Poor mans Harry Maguire

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This guys the best defender in the world? Looked bang average since the restart. Frauds

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

        Thought he was very solid since lockdown. God forbid he makes 1 mistake

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nibble nibble

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

      What a horrible season !
      Put Lacazette on my bench on a FH, he's already got more points than my City triple up

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

        Odd choice this week on freehit. Was thinking of getting him for last two

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

          Didn't really want him, just had plenty of money to spend for my bench and I thought he could do well against a shaky Liverpool team

      2. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Why didn’t you get David Silva? Was obvs bro

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

          Because I went for Sterling and Foden instead, and got Ederson for what I thought was an easy clean sheet

    4. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Best defender in the world until he doesnt have VAR to bail him out

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Facts

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

        You lot would have him in a heartbeat.

    5. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Come on Trent, wip that ball in the box

    6. Random Name

      Big game player.

      And he loves scoring against this tinpot club lol

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

        Mane scored again?

      2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

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

      That first Pool goal was double trouble for me.
      Rival has Robbo & i sold Mane 😀

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

      Pool will find it tough to turn it on come next season imo.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        *for many following seasons.

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Agreed. It’s City’s next season for sure

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

        Peaked

        If Pep gets Koulibaly everyone else can pack up & go home

        If utd get him - they'll be a force too

      5. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Man United too if Hendo comes in

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

      Oh man, just seen Sterling played 45 for 1 lowsy point. I am so relieved I did that last minute captain switch to Pulisic last night

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        ok

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

        5 points difference, stroke of genius 😉

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

      If the title race started after Liverpool won the title, they'd have no chance of winning the title.

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

      So the century is still just about on for Pool. On 94 points currently, 2 games to go.

    12. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I literally have 14 points -8..

      (C) played..

      Jesus Christ. 🙁

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years

    13. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mane wondering what blasphemy he did by passing to Salah 🙄

    14. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      VVD has Lacazette on TC on his FPL team.

    15. Right In The Stanchion

        Since restart he is a God when I dont have him, and AVL’s Trezeguet when I do.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Trezuget just scored a brace tbf

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            That’s because I didnt have him! 😉

    18. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I reckon I will just keep Pulisic vs LFC for this GW37.

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

        Same

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

        Funny was thinking the same earlier - he could easily score with Trent marking him

        How he didn't get another return v Norwich we'll never know

        Think he's a great shout for next season anyways if we can keep him at 9.0 or below
