Gameweek 37 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at the American Express Stadium, where the team news has just arrived for both Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool.

The headline is that the newly-crowned champions – back from a few days of celebrating in Dubai – have moved captain Virgil van Dijk (£6.7m) and Luis Diaz (£7.5m) to the bench as part of four lineup changes.

Andrew Robertson (£5.8m) also makes way, while Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) remains on their bench. Fellow defender Joe Gomez (£4.7m) is hoping for some minutes after a long-term hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) remains in the starting XI, as does Cody Gakpo (£7.2m). Both scored in November’s reverse meeting at Anfield.

As for their hosts, Brighton remove Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m) and Matt O’Riley (£5.5m) for Simon Adingra (£5.1m) and Brajan Gruda (£5.4m). The latter scored his first goal for the club in last week’s 2-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, having also impressed when assisting twice in Gameweek 34’s brief appearance versus West Ham United.

Lewis Dunk (£4.2m) and Joel Veltman (£4.3m) missed out on a clean sheet because of small knocks but make tonight’s bench. Alongside them is Kaoru Mitoma (£6.3m), scorer in two of his three cameos since last starting in Gameweek 31.

Danny Welbeck (£5.5m) and Bart Verbruggen (£4.6m) are playing, but Joao Pedro (£5.5m) isn’t here for personal reasons, despite his three-match ban being over.


GAMEWEEK 37 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Verbruggen; Wieffer, van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Gruda, Adingra; Welbeck

Subs: Rushworth, Igor Julio, Dunk, Veltman, Gomez, Mitoma, Hinshelwood, O’Riley, Howell

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Bradley, Quansah, Konate, Tsimikas; Elliott, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Chiesa, Gakpo

Subs: Kelleher, van Dijk, Gomez, Endo, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Jones, Diaz, Darwin

    Will they bring Salah C on for the second half so you think?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Just Salah turning up would be enough.

  2. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Currently my front 8 is this, and I'm not sure what the move should be here with 2FTs ...

    KDB - Salah - Mbeumo - Bowen
    Isak - Wissa - Watkins

    Bench: Elanga

    Originally was pretty set on KDB + Isak out for Saka + Evanilson, but now that Isak might be back, not sure how best to use the transfers... Really want an Arsenal and Bournemouth attacker but dont see two to take out here.

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Problem is which Arsenal attackers will play?! Can’t see arteta not playing some fringe players for sure

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 10 days ago

        I'm not opposed to players like Havertz and Trossard tbh

        Have had both at points this season and they've been decent for me

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      that front 7 looks good, might be more points gained using fts on defence? evanilson for isak if isak ruled out though for sure

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 10 days ago

        I think KDB out for me regardless - so either a Kluivert or Saka/Trossard in, assuming that strike force is kept.

        I dont have an Arsenal defender, but might just get Kerkez or White in defence

  3. lespaul
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

    Connor Bradley could be the 1st name on my team sheet next season

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Him and Munoz

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Frimpong will be an issue. The days of nailed on Liverpool full-backs could be over barring injuries

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 10 days ago

        If Kerkez does indeed sign, he will be first choice LB ahead of Robertson and Tsimikas for sure

      2. Winging it
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 10 days ago

        Frimpong has predominantly played on the right wing for Leverkusen, which is obviously where Salah operates.

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 10 days ago

          Sure, but it’s not like they’re benching Mo much next season. Frimpong will play some games at RB

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Yeah might get the odd game behind Frimpong

    4. Mother Farke
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Will be at least 40% owned at the start if priced right imo. Maybe higher.

    5. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Frimpong for me

  4. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

    Hard to decide between selling Salah or KDB for the final day...

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

    munoz owners looking to start him vs Liverpool away?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Yes

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Yep, more chance of attacking return than cs

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

  11. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

    Diaz captain in 38 could be a nice differential !! Check out his last 7 home games

  12. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

    Why has Salah been so sh** lately?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      I think ABBA has a song about the reason why... also think it is repeated 3 times in the title of the song.

      1. x.jim.x

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Assisted the assister for the first goal and missed an absolute sitter just now but not much outside of that

        • 10 Years

    Hard to watch not owning Salah

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      Would say it's going pretty well do

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years

  19. Silecro

    Another Salah sitter

  23. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years

    Extremely painful watch with Salah captain

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      It certainly is.

    2. hafakilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 10 days ago

      As a Salah seller to Palmer (c) also very hard to watch!

  24. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

    32 shots and counting. must be 1 of the most open matches this season. very enjoyable

  25. JabbaWookiee

    • 11 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

  30. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 10 days ago

    Quansah simply isn't good enough and Konate is hopeless without VVD
