Robertson and Alexander-Arnold return to Liverpool XI as Jota starts again

Liverpool’s trip to Brentford is the seventh and final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST.

After a blank for Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the day, captainers of Mohamed Salah have a chance to steal a march on those Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who decided against handing the armband to the Egyptian.

Above: Gameweek 6 captaincy and effective ownership stats among the top 10,000 FPL managers

Jurgen Klopp has made four changes to the Liverpool team that beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at Anfield last weekend.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Andrew Robertson all return in defence, with Curtis Jones replacing the injured Thiago Alcantara in midfield.

James Milner, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas make way.

Diogo Jota again leads the line, with Salah and Sadio Mane either side of the Portugal international, but Roberto Firmino is back among the substitutes after a month on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank makes just the one change to the Bees side that won 2-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Saturday.

Frank Onyeka replaces Shandon Baptiste, who drops to the bench.

Ten Brentford players are ever-present starters in the Premier League this season.

    Any idea on Bamford return?

  2. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    48 all out

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      47 and 2 to go

  3. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Three defenders & keeper to add to 35!

  4. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So, who should go first?
    A) Jota
    B) Greenwood

    Both on borrowed time

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Jota perhaps isn't tbh.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        If he doesn't play difficult fixtures, does it matter, is the question. He should have scored 2 today.

    Last two games were entertaining

  6. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years

    Well. Brentford proved me wrong.

  7. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Tantalisingly just outside the top 10k after today. OR 10,700. Hoping with three left to play I’ll be inside the top 10k by Monday night. Big decision to make now - Lukaku AND Ronaldo or just one?

  8. dark91

    Antonio captain went well at the end. Given the numbers below it should warrant a fair rise in rank

    1) Ronaldo - 2,505,205
    2) Salah - 2,377,591
    3) Fernandes - 703,803
    4) Antonio - 392,573
    5) Lukaku - 347,010

      Salah is a legend for missing that sitter

    Keep or sell?

    Great result

    Easily best game I've watched so far this season. Hats off to Brentford. They should be proud.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Correct

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, great game of football. 🙂

  12. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    semedo, marcal and auba left, so about 5 points

  13. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Only a 5/6 point loss if you captained Ronaldo over Salah/Antonio. So it's not that bad.

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Your maths is a little off

      1. AleksaMaster
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        His math is correct.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          ?

          Cap Ronaldo = 4 points
          Cap Antonio = 16 points
          Cap Salah = 14 points

          ??

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Haha sorry I getcha - you have to own them to have captained him "over" them

            Fair enough

          2. Scots Gooner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Thank christ. Thought I was losing it.

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                2 years, 6 months ago

                "Captained over" meaning owning both, as in decision was made with both in team

            2. AleksaMaster
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              But he speaks in case you have all 3. Then its correct.

        2. DycheDycheBaby
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It's really not pal if you got all of them players.

        3. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Assuming you own both

            Ronaldo c, own Salah = 11

            Salah c, Ronaldo= 16

            Difference 5 points

            Antonio C, own Ronaldo= 18

            Ronaldo c, own Antonio= 12

            Difference 6 points

              Weren't you the guy calling someone else an idiot lol

            Brentford (3.09) 3-3 (2.43) Liverpool

            Great game to watch that,
            Credit to both sides

          • DycheDycheBaby
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Fair play to Brentford. They are going to cause problems for many teams.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Quality. Not maverick like Sheff U 2 seasons ago and Leeds last season, but superbly organised. Should be solid mid-tablers.

          • F4L
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I can't go without Salah any longer, looks unplayable at the moment

            1. TheBiffas
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Wait what

                • 9 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                only really hurt last week, but 15 points were there for the taking today, got lucky

            2. DycheDycheBaby
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Were you in the "one season wonder" camp for too long?

              1. F4L
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                thought Lukaku/CR7 could match his output catching their fixture swings. I'm beginning to doubt they will now though

              I am looking at Elyounoussi. Any idea if he is nailed?

            5. F4L
              • 9 Years

              Mbeumbo, playing striker

                2 years, 6 months ago

                I'd take Townsend, but you aren't looking for the one likely to score highest.

            • 10 Years

            Ronaldo worth keeping on wildcard or look to get Son at 2.5M less?

            1. OverTinker
              • 5 Years

              no ronaldo no son

              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Brave to go without him vs Everton.

              1. Klopp's Kids
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                he play well despite the defeat? I'm sure he's on pens now

              • 11 Years

              Why Son?

              1. Klopp's Kids
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                I think he's underpriced on fpl. just worried about spurs as a team

                1. Baps hunter
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 6 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  That alone is a worry too big.

            4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Wouldn't be going near Son at 10.5 with Nuno in charge - 0.97 XG in 4 games isn't a resounding endorsement

              He did so well to get 17 goals from 11XG last year, but that type of thing is very difficult to keep up long term

              Far too many cheap mids that will offer similar points for over 4.0m less

              1. Baps hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Vardy has to be better option in that price bracket also.

                1. Klopp's Kids
                  • 10 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Think it might be better then to play safe with Ronaldo.

            Thoughts on Elyounoussi? Only played 3 games, but very nice stats in that price range. Tasty fixtures for Southampton. Any idea if he is nailed? Haven't watched him play though...
