Fantasy managers spared pains of Liverpool rotation at Leicester

Fantasy Premier League managers have been spared the pains of Jurgen Klopp’s rotation for the first fixture of Gameweek 4.

After promising that unchanged line-ups would soon be a thing of the past at Liverpool, Klopp has made just one alteration to the side that beat Brighton in Gameweek 3.

New signing Naby Keita (£7.5m) drops to the bench to allow club captain Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) to come back into the starting line-up.

The headline Fantasy options Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£9.9m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.1m) have all kept their places.

The Reds remain heavily backed in this fixture with Salah still in 55 percent of teams, Mané in 37 percent and Robertson in 21 percent.

As a whole, the Liverpool defence is still popular for this trip to the King Power Stadium with Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) in 18 percent of squads and 17 percent invested in Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m).

It appears that Demarai Gray (£5.5m) is leading the Leicester line in the absence of Jamie Vardy (£8.9m). Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.0m) drops to the bench.

Ricardo Pereira (£5.0m) has earned plenty of attention for playing in attacking midfield twice so far this season but he is deployed at right-back for this one.

LEICESTER CITY XI (4-4-1-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Morgan, Maguire, Pereira, Ghezzal, Ndidi, Mendy, Albrighton; Maddison; Gray.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold: Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane

    How's the bonus looking? Bobby on for 3 after winning goal?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Probably

    2. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      looks like it just now, joint with Mane

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Really? Hopefully Mane and Robbo might sneak something

      1. BrutalLogiC
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        no chance, Ghezzal is leading right now!

        1. BrutalLogiC
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Ref Robbo, not Mane

    4. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Would Bobby get winning goal? Wouldn't that be Mane?

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        no they needed the second. bobby. mane 1 bap

    5. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Shouldn't Mane get the winning goal? The guy who makes a draw a win will get the winning goal, right? If liv would have won 5-0, would the player who scored the 5th goal get the winning goal?

    Ndidi did get a yellow card

    1. Slartibartfast

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Looks a bit soft to me

  7. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Will Mané get 2 or 3 BPS?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      0 or 1 would be my guess

    2. Khark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Be 1. It’ll update soon and bobby will get winning goal bonus which will put him onto 2

  8. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 10 Years

    So once Maddison assist is removed. Milner Bap?!

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years

    9 from 1 🙂

  10. RashFraud
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    So everybody’s dropping Salah for Hazard after Chelsea game then.
    (Hazard brace incoming!!!)

  11. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Up the pool.

  12. Stinglikeabee
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Will Firmino get more bonus pts for scoring the winning goal?

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Numbers still to be confirmed but I don't think Salah is in the BAPs.

      You need to develop as a FPL player

    3. Majestic Chanka

      Must be trolling

    4. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

      Plonker.

    6. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Stop chasing points, players like Salah are season keepers

    7. BeDreamin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      He's the most expensive player in the game. So a hit to bring in any replacement isn't possible

      U are stupid to buy salah... You could've bought two reliable players for 13 m 🙂

      You look very good, can you keep it up thou? High energy game tends to take its toll when the fixtures get more frequent and more challenging
