<h2>Liverpool stats and best players</h2>
<p>Liverpool secured a third placed finish in their last season under Jurgen Klopp, scoring 86 goals and conceding 41 along the way, ranking the Reds third for both of those stats too.</p>
<p>They underperformed their Expected Goals (xG) of 90.73, due in part to a lack of clinical finishing from the likes of <strong>Darwin Nunez</strong> and <strong>Luis Diaz</strong>.</p>
<div id="attachment_65354" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65354" class="size-full wp-image-65354" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T051006.065.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-65354" class="wp-caption-text">Darwin Nunez v Luis Diaz, stats from last season</p>
</div>
<p>This was the inverse of their defensive performance, where Liverpool overperformed their xGC, although they were still placed third in the league for this statistic.</p>
<p><strong>Virgil Van Dijk </strong>was a mainstay once again in upholding this record, although the Dutchman had a variety of centre-back partners along the way.</p>
<p>The Reds' season was reflected in their fantasy performance, with Liverpool sitting 3rd in the league for FPL points.</p>

<h3>2023/24 season best players</h3>
<p>Mohamed Salah once again topped the scoring charts for Liverpool, with an impressive 30 attacking returns in just 28 Premier League starts.</p>
<p>This comprised 18 goals and 12 assists, and Salah was one of just three Liverpool players to hit double figures for league goals, with Nunez scoring 11 while <strong>Diogo</strong> <strong>Jota</strong> managed 10.</p>
<div id="attachment_65373" style="width: 1150px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65373" class="size-full wp-image-65373" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T075714.737.jpg" alt="" width="1140" height="670" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-65373" class="wp-caption-text">Liverpool's Premier League top scorers last season</p>
</div>
<p>Despite limited game time, the Egyptian had more assists (12) than any of his teammates too, although Darwin Nunez (11) was close behind.</p>
<p>It was a quiet season on the assist front for Trent Alexander-Arnold based on his usual standards, but with just 25 starts due to injury issues, his three goals and four assists were still respectable for a defender.</p>
<div id="attachment_65359" style="width: 1150px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65359" class="wp-image-65359 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T062010.193.jpg" alt="" width="1140" height="670" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-65359" class="wp-caption-text">Total assists by Liverpool players last season</p>
</div>
<p>Alexander-Arnold was one of several key Liverpool assets to miss a significant number of league games last season, along with <strong>Alisson Becker</strong>, <strong>Mohamed Salah</strong>, <strong>Diogo Jota</strong>, <strong>Darwin Nunez</strong>, and <strong>Andy Robertson</strong><strong>.</strong></p>
<p>Robertson in particular only managed 18 starts, which makes his five attacking returns look less meagre. The position of the Scotsman is one to keep an eye on under Slot.</p>
<div id="attachment_65372" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65372" class="wp-image-65372 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T075130.694.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-65372" class="wp-caption-text">Andy Robertson's stats last season</p>
</div>
<p>This array of injuries led to increased opportunities for youngsters, such as <strong>Conor Bradley </strong>at right-back.</p>
<p>The Northern Ireland international certainly made the most of his minutes, grabbing three assists and a goal in his 10 starts.</p>
<p>On the topic of making the most of your minutes, Diogo Jota's 10 goals and three assists also came in just 14 starts, with his limited action a result of both injuries and competition for places.</p>
<div id="attachment_65358" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65358" class="wp-image-65358 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T061349.266.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-65358" class="wp-caption-text">Diogo Jota's stats from last season</p>
</div>
<p>This competition includes <strong>Cody Gakpo,</strong> the international compatriot of new manager Arne Slot, with the Dutchman contributing eight goals and five assists in the league.</p>
<p>Defensively, there was plenty of criticism levelled at Liverpool last season, and this is a more obvious area of improvement than in attack, given that Jurgen Klopp's side had the best xG in the league.</p>
<p>Despite shipping the first goal on far too many occasions for Klopp's liking however, only Manchester City, Arsenal and Everton kept more clean sheets than the Reds - so there is a foundation of solidity for Slot to build upon.</p>
<div id="attachment_65341" style="width: 1150px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65341" class="wp-image-65341 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-28T205030.216.jpg" alt="" width="1140" height="670" /></p>

<h2></h2>
<h2>What will Liverpool's style of play be like under Arne Slot?</h2>
<p>Arne Slot is more of a possession based manager than Jurgen Klopp, and there may be greater involvement for Liverpool's midfield players as a result of this.</p>
<p>Dominik Szoboszlai was the first notable beneficiary of this shift, scoring the first Liverpool goal under Slot in their opening pre-season game.</p>
<div id="attachment_65363" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65363" class="size-full wp-image-65363" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T065407.010.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>

</div>
<p>You can also expect to see the Reds' fullbacks invert into midfield at times, with the attacking players expected to provide the width on these occasions.</p>
<p>This could be a slight negative for Salah who may find himself stuck out wide in a more creative role against certain opponents, but there will surely be constant interchanging of positions regardless.</p>
<div id="attachment_65361" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65361" class="size-full wp-image-65361" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T064740.705.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-65361" class="wp-caption-text">Liverpool players' average positions in their final game of the 2023/24 season</p>
</div>
<p>On paper the Reds will set up in a 4-3-3, as they did under Klopp, but Slot's preference to build from the back and through midfield will likely mean a change from the frequency of 'high risk' passes we're used to seeing from Liverpool.</p>
<p>It will certainly mean a more patient approach, with an emphasis placed on playing out from the back, so the passing ability of Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold will remain integral to the success of the system.</p>
<div id="attachment_65365" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65365" class="wp-image-65365 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FFStuffImage-2024-07-29T065635.859.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-65365" class="wp-caption-text">Trent Alexander-Arnold's stats from last season</p>

<p>But it may also allow for less direct attacking play, and therefore less opportunities for the likes of Luis Diaz to break on the counter attack.</p>
<p>While there are clear first choice options in defence for Liverpool, <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-pre-season-results-guide">pre-season</a> will give us a better idea of which Liverpool midfielders and attackers are likely to be favoured by Slot.</p>
