Players to avoid and target FPL GW8: Potential history maker Mohamed Salah a big target
Watford vs Liverpool
Player to target Mohamed Salah
Glad to start with this game, just so we can get the inevitable of targeting Mohamed Salah out of the way. This should be a no-brainer, with Salah on route to breaking FPL records. There’s not much to add to a player that should be in your starting XI for the least and your captain at most.
Fun fact: With Alisson out, a great Differential to pick would be Ismaila Sarr. Man of the Match the last time the Reds travelled to Vicarage Road – he collected a brace and one assist in their 3-0 win – ending a potential invincible run for Klopp and his men.
BUT! A big but, Salah out-trumps Sarr having scored eight goals in his last six games against the Hornets. Target the man already!
Salah’s Matty Cash
- 12 Points vs. Crystal Palace – 1 Goal, 1 Assist
Klopp says Alisson and Fabinho will fly directly from Brazil to Madrid for Tuesday's CL game. Neither will be in the squad to face Watford. #LFC

Player to avoid: Alisson Becker
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool will be without the pair of Brazilian internationals who travelled to South America for country duty; both goalkeeper Alisson Becker and midfielder Fabinho will fly straight to Real Madrid for their Champions League fixture.
