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.

      Humble brag.

      I’m starting to think that anything over 24 for a gameweek is a success these days

        It's sad when TAA > Alonso -4 is the biggest success of your GW so far.

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

          My only positive so far is that my captain hasn’t played yet

  2. TAT

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Nketiah got a red for the same challenge as TAA.

  3. The Senate
    • 5 Years

    Why was Trent not sent off?

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

    TAA -1. Haha

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

    Should’ve been a red on Trent

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

    I currently have 5 singular points after -8 including (c)

    Thank good god there’s only 2 weeks left

    Martial Bruno Greenwood/Vardy has got to save me now.

  7. LIARS POKER

    Three decisions that have killed me since the restart

    - Persisting with TAA
    - 3 City players where 2 of them every week are either not playing or getting 1 pointers
    - Changing Pope on WC after they lost 5-0 to City

  8. Don Kloppeone

    This is laughable now

    To the extent that I’m beyond laughter

        Haha . He’s going to blank as I brought him in for Jimenez

      I agree. Think about my points!

  14. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    Vardy to Kane
    VVD to Tarkowski

    For -4, Y or N?

    1. Gudjohnsen

      100percent

    Vardy and Ings golden boot shoot out to come...

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

      The key difference is Leicester as a team have something to play for whereas the Saints don’t

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Southampton looked decent at Old Trafford, full of running.

        Leicester need to break Sheff Utd down too.

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years

      Isn't the Golden Boot an international competition?

      I was looking into this earlier. Some real awful fixtures to call.

      Ings, Armstrong, Jiminez, Jota..

    1. X Trapnel
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      That's right. They've done nothing all season. Total shams. Worst champs ever.

    Has Trent EVER had a -1 before?! You couldn’t make this stuff up

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

    Did Pool pay more for Minamino than Dortmund did for Haaland?

    1. Rainer

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

        Cheap. As he was very good at RB, think he'll be sold from Pool though. Nowhere close to being good enough.

    This GW is truly hideous

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

      The sick thing is I feel like this 9 out of 10 gameweeks this season

      There’s bad luck and then there is this season

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Worst I’ve felt during a GW. Mental stuff
