Three Liverpool players you should sign in FPL for the 2023/24 season
1. Alexis Mac Allister (6.0M) – MID
Currently, at 13.6% selected, newcomer Alexis Mac Allister could be a solid bet to add to your midfield. His 6.0M price is reasonable for a player who ranked fourth among Liverpool players in FPL points last season. Of course, he did that at Brighton, but there’s plenty of reason to believe the Argentine will continue to shine at the Premier League level.
It’s also expected with the departures of Milner, Henderson and Keita, Alexis Mac Allister will have plenty of starts under Jurgen Klopp. Thiago, who is now older and more injury prone, will also increase the chances of Mac Allister starting a large chunk of Premier League games. He missed just three matches last season for Brighton and netted ten goals, being the club’s designated penalty taker.

2. Cody Gakpo (7.5M) – FWD
A bit of a steeper price, Gakpo currently is selected by just 6.1% of FPL players. The Netherlands international may not be a pencilled-in starter for every match under Jurgen Klopp, but he is surely to be one of the regulars in the attack. Last season, he started 17 of the 21 matches he was available. In half a season, Gakpo picked up 90 fantasty points, with ten goal contributions in just 21 Premier League matches.
This is definitely a bit of a risk, I’ll admit, but I like the potential for Gakpo to really shine with Liverpool this season and be worth the price. I think between him, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, who are all the same price, he is the best bet to have the most FPL points at the end of the season.

3. Ibrahima Konate (5.0M) – DEF
Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson don’t make the list as they’re too obvious, and no one’s a genius for suggesting them. Signing Erling Haaland doesn’t win you your fantasy league. Owning the hidden gems and taking risks is what separates the best from the rest in FPL. Much like Gakpo, taking Konate is a risk, but he comes at a very reasonable price.
The Frenchman dealt with injuries last season that saw him play just 18 Premier League matches. Konate had seven clean sheets last season in just 17 starts. When he finally got fit near the end of the season, Liverpool went on a fantastic run of form. From March onwards, Liverpool lost just twice in the 13 matches Konate featured in. He is a lock to start alongside Virgil Van Dijk, so it is a matter of if he can stay healthy; if so, he will be up some serious FPL numbers this season.
