A new season brings new pressures - including, most important of all of course, Fantasy Football. The agonising over which defenders, midfielders and strikers to buy lasts long into the summer.

Using Mirror Football's Fantasy Football game, here's the three Liverpool players you should consider for your team.

Simon Mignolet

Price: £5.5m

2013/14 points: 59

Mignolet has a new-look defence in front of him and could find himself with more protection than he was given last season when he conceded 50 goals. With every clean sheet, the Belgian will receive four points, while every penalty save yields a further six; Mignolet, of course, saved a spot kick against Stoke on the opening day last season, as well as two in the pre-season shoot out against Manchester City. Expect the Reds to be tighter at the back, and expect Mignolet to score high.

Jordan Henderson

Price: £7m

2013/14 points: 109

Sadly, Fantasy Football doesn't award points for running, otherwise Henderson would be the most obvious pick of all. But in pre-season, the midfielder has shown an inclination to get forward much more and run into dangerous positions where he can either create or score himself. His two goals in pre-season, against Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, both came with late bursts into the box. With five points for a goal and a further three for an assist, expect Henderson to better his haul of four goals and seven assists from last year.

Raheem Sterling

Price: £8m

2013/14 points: 128

Who else? The young attacker scored nine goals and made five assists last season in just 24 starts after not featuring heavily at the start of the season, and looks set to progress even further and flourish in the absence of Luis Suarez. He will score four points for every goal and three for every assist, but will be a front-runner most weeks for the three man-of-the-match points as well. Although 33.8% of players have already selected him, he's a must have.
