FPL managers weigh Liverpool assets against defensively vulnerable Tottenham

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are turning their attention to Liverpool's players ahead of a favourable home fixture against a Tottenham Hotspur side that has conceded 14 goals in their last four matches across all competitions The defensive frailty of Spurs presents a significant opportunity, sparking debate among FPL experts on the optimal investment in Liverpool's squad.

In attack, multiple Liverpool midfielders are presented as viable options These include the premium-priced Mohamed Salah (£14m), alongside more budget-friendly choices such as Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.9m), Alexis Mac Allister (£6.3m), and Florian Wirtz (£8.3m) While Salah has a history of being a top-performing FPL asset, the source material notes there is no evidence to suggest he will outperform cheaper midfield alternatives over the next two gameweeks, creating a strategic dilemma Striker Hugo Ekitike (£9.1m), with 11 goals and four assists in 20 starts this season, is also highlighted as a player of interest despite recent inconsistent form

Defensively, Virgil van Dijk (£6.2m) is noted as a primary selection However, the strategic challenge of balancing a squad is also considered. BBC commentator Chris Coles acknowledged the appeal of Liverpool's attacking options but highlighted the budgetary constraints involved. He noted the difficulty of acquiring both Wirtz and Ekitike simultaneously, explaining that bringing both players in would require a complete overhaul of his existing team, underscoring the tough decisions FPL managers face
