Top FPL picks at LIV
Virgil is the safest Liverpool asset outside the premium attack. At £6.1m he leads their FPL scoring with 157 points, has played 3150 minutes, and sits at 31.1% ownership. That mix of nailed minutes, clean sheet potential, and set piece threat makes him the standout defensive route in.
Szoboszlai looks like the best midfield value among the non premiums. He has 147 points, a strong 6.0 form, and 2962 minutes, which tells you he is trusted and productive. At £7.0m, he offers a very playable price point for managers who want Liverpool coverage without spending big.
M.Salah is still the headline pick for upside. The price is huge at £14.0m, but 116 points in only 2055 minutes underlines his per minute output. His 13.8% ownership is also lower than usual for a player with his explosive ceiling, which adds rank upside if he hits a big haul.
Wirtz deserves serious attention as a high ceiling mid. He has 123 points in 2333 minutes and costs £8.3m, a useful bracket for wildcard structure. If you want an attacker with room to grow in ownership, his 8.9% selected by figure is appealing.
Ekitiké is the main forward to monitor. He has 125 points from just 1797 minutes, which is excellent efficiency, and his 16.4% ownership shows the market is interested. At £9.0m, he is expensive enough to demand starts, but the points per minute suggest he can justify it.
Mid-tier and budget options
Konaté is a strong alternative if you cannot reach Virgil. At £5.5m, with 126 points and 2836 minutes, he offers a cheaper route into Liverpool’s defence. The key edge is ownership, just 3.9%, which makes him a smart differential.
Gakpo fits the mid tier attacker slot well. He has 125 points, 4.8 form, and costs £7.3m. His 2497 minutes are solid rather than elite, so he is not as secure as Szoboszlai, but the output keeps him relevant.
Mac Allister is a deeper value pick. At £6.2m, 102 points, and 4.2 form, he is viable for managers prioritising steady returns over explosive upside. 1.9% ownership also makes him a useful differential in balanced builds.
Gravenberch and C.Jones are more squad filler than core picks. Gravenberch is cheap at £5.4m and has 130 points, but his 1.5 form is poor. Jones has only 67 points in 1653 minutes, so while the same £5.4m price is tempting, the ceiling is limited.
Avoid / fade
A.Becker looks easy to pass on for now. At £5.4m, his 89 points from 2250 minutes are fine, but not enough to justify spending on a Liverpool goalkeeper when defensive outfield picks offer more routes to points. His 0.0 form is another red flag.
Kerkez is also hard to recommend. He costs £5.6m but has only 82 points and a very weak 0.8 form. That is a bad combination in a price range where every million matters.
Gravenberch belongs here too if you are buying now, despite the season total. 130 points looks good, but a 1.5 form suggests the recent trend is poor. That makes him more of a trap than a bargain.
Captaincy potential
Salah is still the only Liverpool player who regularly makes captaincy sense. Even with only 2055 minutes, he has 116 points, which points to elite efficiency and haul potential. He is the high upside armband option whenever Liverpool have a favourable fixture.
Ekitiké is the best alternative captain from this squad. 125 points in 1797 minutes is excellent, and forwards with that level of involvement can punish low ownership captaincy calls.
Szoboszlai is more of a vice captain or safe play. His 147 points and 6.0 form make him reliable, but he does not match Salah for explosive captaincy ceiling.
