# Robertson names Firmino as his ideal Fantasy Premier League pick

Andy Robertson has named Roberto Firmino as his ideal Fantasy Premier League pick out of his Liverpool teammates.

The Brazilian [made the move to Anfield from Hoffenheim in 2015](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33250535) and has scored 74 goals in 222 appearances on Merseyside

Robertson told [Fantasy Premier League](https://twitter.com/OfficialFPL/status/1215578454533558277?s=20) that he would pick him over anyone else, including Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane:

> I would actually go Firmino, I think he’s worth the money.

> I think he’s quite cheap, he’s not at the high-end where Salah and Mane are. But he gets the assists, he gets the goals and he’s a regular in our team.

> So I think in terms of points for money, I would say Firmino.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Firmino is actually far from the best FPL pick in my opinion, contrary to Robertson’s comments.

The 28-year-old is a wonderful footballer – perhaps Liverpool’s most important player at times, because of his work ethic and link-up play leading the line – but he doesn’t deliver enough numbers.

Granted, Firmino is [cheaper](https://fantasy.premierleague.com/) than Salah and Mane, but he isn’t a constant stream of goals and assists, like his teammates.

While the South American has [six and four](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96182/Show/Roberto-Firmino) to his name in the Premier League this season respectively, Mane ([11 and six](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109915/Show/Sadio-Man%C3%A9)) and Salah ([10 and four](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108226/Show/Mohamed-Salah)) are well ahead.

Liverpool actually suffer most when Firmino doesn’t play, out of the front-three, in my opinion, because he gels the entire attack together, but he can be a letdown from an FPL perspective.
