Despite losing five out of the past six Premier League matches, Liverpool are a team that are increasingly on the radar.<\/p>\n

Their performances are improving – victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid for example.<\/p>\n

And they have a great run of fixtures where they play Forest, Leeds, Wolves and Sunderland, all at home, and West Ham and Leeds away. No team has a better set of fixtures until the end of December.<\/p>\n

However, the key question is who do we pick?<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah has improved recently, but without captaincy doesn’t look to be worth the price at \u00a314.2m.<\/p>\n

Strikers Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike look to be sharing minutes when both are fit. Same is true for Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz as the left-sided forwards.<\/p>\n

For me the viable options are:<\/p>\n

Dominik Szoboszlai (\u00a36.6m)<\/b>, <\/b>who has proved himself to be assured for minutes and this season has taken over most set-piece duties. My worry remains his open-play threat, with no shot in the box in the past four gameweeks.<\/p>\n

Virgil van Dijk (\u00a35.9m)<\/b> is the pick of the backline, with his guaranteed minutes, set-piece threat and potential to accumulate defensive contribution points. Ibrahima Konate (\u00a35.4m)<\/b> is a decent alternative as well, for a cheaper price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Don’t ignore Liverpool’s fixture swingpublished at 16:00 GMT 16:00 GMT PrasFPL veteran with eight top-25k finishes and co-host…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":395068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-395067","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115588789913013588","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
