Liverpool players to watch
There was plenty for FPL managers to take from Liverpool’s opening-weekend performance in their 2-2 draw at Newcastle United.
The Reds had 27 shots at St. James’ Park in total, which is immediately encouraging when looking to buy a player in FPL for their attacking output.
Dominik Szoboszlai (£7.0m) converting a 99th-minute penalty was celebrated by more than 42 per cent of the managers who owned him, but there were other numbers that caught the eye too.

Cody Gakpo (£7.0m) scored Liverpool’s first goal and finished the game with six shots – more than any other player over the weekend’s fixtures as a whole.
He also reached the defensive contribution threshold, meaning that he picked up the additional two defensive contribution points, resulting in a 12-point tally, which was the most across the Liverpool team.
Victor Munoz (£6.5m) offering an assist from the bench makes him a player to watch over the coming weeks as he adapts to life in the Premier League.
Munoz also supplied four crosses and had two shots during his cameo on Tyneside.
