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.

    I feel like all Brighton assets do is disappoint. Can't even get a proper shot on target.

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

      What a sh*t top post. I'm sorry.

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

        U weren't to know!

    2. PartyTime

      Potter ball

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

        Can't believe some MU fans want him.

  2. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A Robbo goal would be absolutely magical

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed

  3. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Can't believe my Matip gamble is actually paying off.

    What minute will Brighton score? I'm saying 90' + 2'

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

      Welbeck in the 95th.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I tipped him a few weeks ago when I was on WC instead of Robbo but didn't have the guts. Ramifications were huge.

  4. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Side note to distract from Salah.

    FH30...
    Sa
    Doherty, Coady, Tierney
    Son, Coutinho, Maddison, Saka
    Kane, Jimi, Laca

    Raya, Bowen, Amartey, Thomas w/ 3.6 ITB.

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

      Pretty standard I'd expect barring injuries and suspensions.

      A few more choices in midfield at 3-5-2.

      1. 15th Time Lucky
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I'm sitting on Odergard over Jimi and am extra wolves defender. Plenty of time to change though

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Decided to get in early for price changes (I thought prices updated at 4am, so last night I lost 0.2M on bringing in Kane and Doherty - so annoying) and then realised how much spare bank I have! LOL

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

          Yeah , you can triple up on Wolves at the back and have someone like Antonio as first sub.

          Plenty of time to tinker if Jimenez looks good at Everton.

      2. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        As a West Ham fan it really hurts to have three Spurs players in my team...

  5. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Salah out is good for my double Arsenal defence..

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

      U never know, he may recover

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah probably.

        As Ramsdale Tierney TAA Robbo owner, 0-0 would suit me best

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

      He's not confirmed out yet. More likely they want to preserve him to bust that Arsenal CS.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I know, just being hopeful

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

      Lol, with amount of chances he wasted recently, I wouldn't be that smug.

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

      He's not out yet lah

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Come on lah, I need it. 🙂

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

      he's not even injured ffs

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cool man just pulling some legs

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

      It's probably not gonna happen but 0:0 would mean 4 clean sheets for my team. I would gladly take Salah's 3 pointer at this point and move on.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Same here Ramsdale Tierney TAA Robbo.

        Plus I'm not TC him so it's good me in that sense as well

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

    Probably been asked a dozen times already, so apologies, but Salah be fit for Arsenal game?

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

      of course

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

      He'll be yellow flagged. We will know nothing for sure until the presser. He's got a niggle but he walked of the pitch.

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Think you missed it in the last page. Salah may never play for Liverpool again.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        😀

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

      To be honest, I don't know why think any of us would know the answer.

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

        Was only looking to see what the general consensus was... 🙂

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      How could we know that!

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

    Maupay does what he does best!

  8. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Any reason why there are only 3 PL matches today?

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

      All the Thursday games, including European ones.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. This makes sense.

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Crufts final is on

    3. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm assuming a combination of European games, and the midweek doubles.

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

    Salah not sitting on the bench?

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Straight down

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

        The tunnel?

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

    Hoping for a Brighton goal now. What a miserable owning Salah(C) and TAA

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Same here mate. Just been hoping for Liverpool to screw up the whole match. Seems like we've somewhat got away with it although a Brighton goal would be nice

  11. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    L’enfant terrible

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

    Mo is still on course to get 2 bonus points.

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

    Diaz little warrior!

  14. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Robertson in the baps!

  15. JonSnow
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Liverpool look a bit sloppy by their usually high standards today

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

    10 points and a nice rest ahead of the Arsenal game. Not too bad actually.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He is not going to play against Arsenal.
      Even if the injury is not too serious do you really think that Klopp will play Salah (confirm he's ok) and let him go to international duty ?

      He will sit Arsenal game out, stay in UK and get ready for big one against City.

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

        Lol absolutely no chance he misses the Arsenal game unless badly injured

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          We will see.

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        How do you know ? If he's fit why would Klopp not start him when they are playing a team in good form and going for the PL ?

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          I don't know, just my opinion.
          At the moment he's not fit so assuming he will be fit is being optimistic.

          1. jacob1989
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            He will definitely play unless genuinely injured. Arsenal away is a tough game. Drop points and say goodbye to their title hopes

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

    Robbo has been frustrating today. Great opportunities in dangerous areas, but his final shot or pass has been wayward. Could have hauled.

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

      This match has been frustrating imo. Not a great watch as a neutral.

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

      Trent only on 22 BPS now 🙁

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

        New poet fail**

          post* lol

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

        Makes no difference as the World and his dog own him.

  18. putana

    Good Luck to my fellow Kane cappers.

  19. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Weghorst goal would be nice!

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Seriously man, will shoot me up in the rank!

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

    No VAR check is weird.

  21. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Robbo trolling his new owners. As a guy who bought him in DGW26, I'm feeling smug

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Trolling in what way? He’s on 6 points - I’m more than happy

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Should've scored more

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

      Yeah, had him since GW24. Wanted him sooner, but transfers were tied up. He's been good.

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thor brilliant save

  23. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Sanchez, why didnt you flatten him?

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

    Diaz big miss from Trent pass...

    Swap in BPS!

  25. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hold!

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

    Sanchez close to BAPs 😀

  27. Totti
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Does salah’s injury look dangerous?
    Didn’t see it

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

      Nah

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

      Might be but the went off immediately.

    3. dhamphiir

      I think Salah got knock when he hit the bar.

    I just called Maupay ugly and my comment was deleted.
    To be clear, I love his firm butt that shows in the blue pants. He's a pretty guy, but he has a character like a dumpster.

  29. AC/DC AFC

    Trossaard with a nonchalant set up for Liverpool counter attack.

    Everyone I captain gets injured

    1. Bubz

      Same
