It’s an audition of sorts for Liverpool players as Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers get to run the rule over Jurgen Klopp’s side ahead of Blank Gameweek 32.

Not that one of the Reds isn’t already owned by a fair number of FPL bosses.

Mohamed Salah is sitting in not far off one in five of the squads in the top 100,000, and in 28% of FPL sides overall.

Salah starts against Leeds United this evening and is part of an unchanged side from the one that Klopp sent out against Arsenal.

Darwin Nunez is on the bench for the third time in four games, while Luis Diaz makes his long-awaited return to the Liverpool squad after a six-month lay-off.

Alisson and Ibrahima Konate, both minor concerns ahead of Saturday’s deadline, are fit to start.

As for the hosts at Elland Road, Javi Gracia has made two changes from the starting XI that initially impressed against Crystal Palace before succumbing to a 5-1 hiding.

Top goalscorer Rodrigo Moreno starts for the first time since Gameweek 21 as he replaces Patrick Bamford, who is missing from the squad altogether.

The other change comes at right-back, with an out-of-form Luke Ayling finally ousted by Rasmus Kristensen.

Kick-off in tonight’s game is at 20:00 BST.

GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Kristensen, Firpo, Koch, Struijk, McKennie, Roca, Harrison, Aaronson, Sinisterra, Rodrigo.

Subs: Robles, Ayling, Forshaw, Cooper, Summerville, Rutter, Gnonto, Wober, Greenwood.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Konate, Van Dijk, Henderson, Fabinho, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Jota.

Subs: Kelleher, Thiago, Milner, Firmino, Elliott, Tsimikas, Diaz, Nunez, Matip.

    Yay! Thank you captain Salah for rescuing my GW!

    One more, please!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Well played

  2. Flying Dutchman
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Leeds really bad

  3. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Leeds fans leaving. Ayling staying behind though.

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bad second half as a TAA owner

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed

  5. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I forgive you Salah

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    That's how you don't bottle a 2-0 lead 🙂

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Bottling lead is dangerous for your health

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        That's only the 3-0 grade strength

  7. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Very clear Gnonto could have turned this game.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I still own him somehow

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Was never gnonto happen

  8. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Well done Salah, Watkins and Haaland. The rest of my team should be ashamed of themselves

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Worth it to get Salah for -4?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Is it for a non-fixture next week? Probably worth it regardless

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

    Gakpo or Robbo higher EO vs Forest?

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Sexy man needs 3 more minimum to cement max BAPS

  12. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Green arrow finally. After weeks of suffering. More please Mo

  13. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Given that Liverpool aren't keeping clean sheets, but have started scoring and play Forest at home - should we consider triple attack?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think Trent is worth it, compared to say the Arsenal defenders not being worth it.

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Bit expensive for my liking when also owning Salah and Haaland. Saying that, Forest will likely not score at the weekend so almost guaranteed CS and good chance of attacking returns.

      2. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Not sure. Forest are fighting for their lives, Liverpool are not keeping cleanies, and he is not very advanced

    2. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Don't know why they're not keep clean sheets. Konate is one of the best CBs in the league.

  14. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years

    Stop now Salah thanks, painful owning no pool assets in this game

  15. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Well done Salah Cappers.

    I had the choice of Erling, Salah and Kane this week. Went Erling.

    Am just very glad I didn’t go Kane.

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      What does the rest of your side look like with those 3 in it?

    2. EDUARDO DA SILVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No one has Liverpool player for now. There isn’t any well done.

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Leeds playing Man City at the Etihad in GW35 could be a bloodbath

  17. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    If I could have 7 mids I would consider Gakpo.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Who would be your 6th?

  18. abaalan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Any reason not to FH now and start bringing in players before they rise ?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      COVID-23 onset, King dying, Nuclear war, freak snow storm etc. Go for it!

  19. Dennis System
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else got a green arrow + no haaland?

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

      1. Dennis System
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Bet you didnt have kane captain too

        1. tutankamun
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          No. Changed last minute to Salah thankfully.

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

  20. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    This is absolutely embarrassing from Leeds

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not as bad as last week

  21. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Chilwell, Kane -> TAA, Jota?

    In need of a differential.

  22. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who to dump for FH32 out of 1) Kane 2) eze 3) trippier 4) gakpo

  23. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    So now the question is who to add to Salah ?

    TAA and/or Gakpo and / or Jota ?

  24. J to the T
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    9 players for BGW32 and 1FT.
    However no Salah and the only way I see to get him is to sell Kane.

    Grealish Kane -> Salah Solanke (-4) and play with no keeper?

  25. Bezz82
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Loving TAA’s new role as well. Defo need both over the next few weeks

  26. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Salah back in my team just after this game. No FH but he is coming to my team. Will think about Gakpo and TAA. Probably Jota in but that would take a lot of cash.

  27. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Jota goal

  28. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    That was funny

  29. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Nunez owners 🙁

  30. Assisting the assister

    Go steady Mo - save some for my FH32 lad
