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

    Does Baines come on for a 1 point cameo or stay on the bench?

  6. Top Lad Dakes.

    That Alisson eff up is so annoying as a Robertson and non Mane owner

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Ehm... no. Wait

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      considering the same move myself.

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

      Do you own Mane? If so yes but I wouldn’t get ... IB causes headaches with injuries.

      1. Dangerous Rhubarb
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        YES......got mane and robbo

    4. Ross From Friends

      Yes yes hurry up before its too late!

  11. APSeudo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    planning to tf out Salah because of tough fixtures on Sept & rotation risks, wise move?

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

    GOalscorer Kwang with the Lingard-Pogba dance o_O

  13. RashFraud
    • 7 Years

    2-0 Korea. It’s all over now

  14. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Son 2 assists 😮

  15. nisag17
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Pedro fears came true. Both Willian and him look to be poor fantasy prospects unless things change.

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

    Son surely be starting in GW5!

    1. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Moura should keep his place but will wait a few games to see if he is nailed and only then consider him.

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

      No chance. Son absolutely knackered. Moura got several weeks left at least IMO

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

    3 - Mané (29)
    2 - Ghezzal (28)
    1 - Firmino (26)

    Son is comming home, he's comming...

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years

      1 m....

  19. diesel001

    South Korean military will need to find some people to make up the numbers now....

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

      Was it some kind of deal that he doesn't have to commit now?

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

        Men have to do military service in South Korea before the age of 27. You get an exemption if you win the Asian Games.

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

          Ha. Crazy rule. Thank you mate.

        2. Perthite
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Or Olympic medal

  20. Oven Glover

    5 years, 8 months ago

    It has begun. The second exodus. This time it’s just one Egyptian being left behind.

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

      Nice.

      1. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Sneaky repost from a couple of weeks back. Tougher crowd then.

    2. boc610
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Because of one blank? Do it at your peril

      1. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Non owner. Might buy him ahead of gw6. Just stating the obvious. Knees will jerk.

  21. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Mane top transfer in already.

    1. Perthite
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      With less than 8000

  22. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Which Spurs player is priority from GW 6 onwards (bha, hud, CAR, whm) :
    A - Trippier
    B - Kane

    1. Hardly Athletic
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      B - I have him already. I'm ahead of the curve. He's my captain this week.

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

      B unless Kun keeps form and Auba wakes up

  23. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Will Mané increase in price with Pool playing Spurs next?

    1. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. He scored 39 from 4. People will panic and Liverpool can score against anyone especially the top sides.

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

    People with Pedro - see how Willian does today. Could easily be Willian dropped back to the bench if he has a shocker today for the next game.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      hoping Willian returns late from International Break

    2. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wishful thinking. I doubt he will have a shocjer against leaky Bournemouth. They are both rotation risks atm.

    3. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Returning from Brazil too. Do you own him?

    4. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Then you are jus playing the roulette, id prefer to avoid that tbh

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea had so much more threat v newcastle when Willian came on for Pedro last week. I don't think that will have gone unnoticed with Sarri

  25. Podge
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    There was rumours last night of Zaha being out

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

      Rumours on the last few pages he'll be out for a number of weeks.

  26. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Scouting Rico today, only 4.5 wb

  27. Incredibles
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Was planning on hitting WC, but should I rather wait?

    Foster
    Robertson Mendy WB
    Salah Mkhi BSilva Walcott
    Kun Auba Ings

    Fab Dunk Peltier Stephens

    1. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Atleast wait for Auba to play.

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

        True, but really frustrating owning him from the start

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Why WC that? Get rid of peltier it looks fine

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

        Cheers. Was always the plan to WC during international break, but now that Dunk is back I’m not so sure

  30. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha out is very bad. Hope it’s not for too long. If it’s more than this week / 2 weeks what are people doing?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Transfer, many options about his price range.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking the same, especially if it’s 2+ weeks. Damn shame with these fixtures

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

          IB

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Drop him for a cheapy and upgrade Walcott/Richarlison to Hazard

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      keep

    4. LD
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Getting rid. there’s a lot of good, budget strikers
