Updated 12 October 2026. Dominik Szoboszlai missed Liverpool's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City because of a hamstring complaint.
The timing is poor for FPL owners.
Liverpool's attack already lacks rhythm, and Szoboszlai is now among the five most-transferred-out players for GW7.
What do we know?
Liverpool confirmed the hamstring issue was enough to keep him out against City.
There is not yet enough evidence to label the injury long term.
That means managers should separate a confirmed GW6 absence from an assumed multi-week absence.
Why the sell case is still strong
Even without a long diagnosis, several factors push toward a sale:
- injury uncertainty;
- Liverpool's difficult attacking form;
- strong midfield alternatives;
- early price pressure from heavy transfers out.
Official FPL's 12 October snapshot had Szoboszlai on 116,573 transfers out.

Hold if...
- Liverpool quickly confirm he is fit;
- you have larger injury problems;
- selling requires a hit and your bench covers.
Sell if...
- the hamstring issue keeps him out of training;
- you can reach Groß or Palmer cleanly;
- the move improves the wider squad.
Liverpool context
Current Scout Notes say Liverpool did not create a single big chance against City.
That makes it harder to justify holding an injured attacker simply because of reputation.
OneFPL verdict
Szoboszlai is SELLABLE, but managers can wait for the next Liverpool medical update if team value is not forcing an early move.
The strongest reason to sell is not one missed match.
It is injury uncertainty + weak team attack + excellent replacement market.
