Brighton Hove Albion v Liverpool gets Gameweek 29 underway at the Amex at 12:30 GMT.

These are two of the six sides who ‘double’ in this week and there is unsurprisingly plenty of Fantasy interest in the Reds.

A whopping 94% of the top 10k captained Mohamed Salah in the current Gameweek and, with almost one in four of these managers using the Triple Captain chip on the Egyptian, his ‘effective ownership’ (EO) tops 200%.

In laymen’s terms, if you didn’t Triple Captain the leading points scorer in FPL and you’re in one of the rank tiers below where Salah’s EO is in excess of 200%, you’ll lose a bit of ground if/when he returns.

There are no massive shocks when it comes to the team news, with Virgil van Dijk starting despite being absent from training earlier this week amid reports of Covid cases at the club.

Jurgen Klopp has made three changes from the side beaten by Inter Milan in midweek.

Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson and Luis Diaz return, as Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota and Thiago Alcantara drop to the bench.

Brighton manager Graham Potter makes four alterations following the 2-1 defeat by Newcastle last time out.

Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister, Neal Maupay and Solly March come in for Shane Duffy, Danny Welbeck, Jakub Moder and Pascal Gross.

Midfielder Enock Mwepu, who has been out for two months with a hamstring issue, is on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Brighton XI: Sanchez, Lamptey, Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella, Alzate, Bissouma, Mac Allister, Trossard, March, Maupay.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Henderson, Fabinho, Salah, Mane, Diaz.

    LIVarpool must have forgot their instalment this month for VAR

    All those times salah dived and won penalties you would think they would have set some money aside

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Oh.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm, nobody bit 🙁

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      There was a really interesting article about how Salah actually averages a foul against him once every 1.5 to 2 games - not even one per game

  2. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Guys it's not a red card because the goal was scored relax

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Could have given a YC without having VAR checking it out.

  3. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Egyptian Pennant gonna blank here

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      EO > 200% so never mind

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Really didn't fancy him much for these two fixtures, tbh. The DGW in GW26 was far superior.

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Goes without saying

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah. Son & Kane will feast

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Kane, Doherty and Kulusevski you mean?

  4. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Peter Schmeichel would’ve been sent off every week if that is a red

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Peter played for United.

  5. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Nearly THE perfect goal!

    1. Ode
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nearly? That went over the stadium

  6. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Absolutely never a red card - yellow for sure but never a red!

    1. FPLCEO
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      That leg could have caused serious damage.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        'Could' have....it didn't.

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

          So you just judge a dangerous tackle on outcome?

          1. bring_on _the_fantasy
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Nope i'm saying it was never ever a red.

          2. Utopsis
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Crazy - wait for broken legs before dishing out reds

  7. FPLCEO
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Matip to Dias…..of course it’s the one defender and one attacker no one has.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      So perfect in other words. It's sad having Liverpool players and wanting them to blank because of rank and ownership.

  8. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Can we have a VVD (I don’t have covid) goal please?

  9. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Diaz is some player

  10. Ode
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Not captaining Salah on a DGW is not good for mental health

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      😮

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not owning him GW3 to GW7 was vomit inducing

    3. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      true, I feel like I've taken a -12

  11. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah rugby drop goal attempt

  12. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    The 4.9 I spent on Matip looking great value

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nice!

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Where did you get the surgery done?

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        😆

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I’d need to spend more than that

      3. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Hahaha

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      For this DGW or before it?

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        This.

    4. Ode
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Was thinking of getting him too but could get rotated with Konate

  13. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salahs touch just not on it so far today

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Been off form for ages.

      Head not right after AFCON and with contact hassle.

  14. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Only (C) because of FOMO... Have Kane, could have gone there, but Salahs ownership and some people TC'd him made it difficult going against.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not even a quarter way through his gameweek…

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I wrote this because I don't want my C to do anything (or if he does, doesn't matter that much) and that's just sad.

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        *game

      3. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Nothing to do with believing Kane will outscore Salah... I just hate that I (C) some player out of fear and if he does well it doesn't matter much for my rank or ML.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Wow mane so selfish

    Salah free on the right and not passing

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mane didn't TC Salah.

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mane back to being selfish. Salah was free

    1. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Senegal > Egypt

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah hates Sun next half he would score

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Everyone hates The Sun….scum newspaper…..

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        😀

      2. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        The lowest of the low. The fact that it's the country's best selling newspaper is such a sad indictment on British culture.

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mane nice pass to Sanchez

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Should be rested at half time for Jota

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I concur

  20. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I now see why Trossard doesn't start so often, what a frustrating player.

    1. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Brighton haven't got better though, so I don't see it

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    This game has been flat.

    Was everyone out getting smashed in Brighton last night?

  22. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Didn’t expect the EO to be over 200%. Wish I’d gone Kane Captain

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ditto

  23. HD7
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    What is your Man United - Spurs score prediction?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      2-2

    2. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Neither make top four……

    3. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      0-1 Dalot goal, because he's my 3rd sub.

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years

        1-0 rather

      1-6

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        The disrespect towards United is unreal. They ain't that bad.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          I've lost faith in them. If they play a high line, I think they'll be slaughtered.

    9. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  25. Scapegoat Salah

    Trent SOT

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Would make a change from all the SOT players going to Liverpool…..

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah sighting.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      On target = + BPS

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah involved in passing practice with sanchez

  28. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Let's go Salah, do something!

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Big man Bakar Salah TC after trying to convince people to go Kane Captain

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Wow

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Sneaky. Gonna call the Police

  30. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah will blank in both games. He can't handle all the backlash from the media and fans criticising him for being money-grubbing.
