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

      They have a row and she comes back early. Always likely with women.

    4. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hazard, Salah, Mane and Wally blanking.

      1. Ady87

        The stuff of nightmares.

          Helm street stuff indeed. I got 3 of those too. Hope Hazard will not turn Stamford bridge into the Garden of Eden.

  6. JustPark

    Btw, need Mkhi to deliver and Alonso to stay silent. Chances of Alonso to play for the country during the international break?

      Don't think so

      Salah dodgy assist inbound.

    4. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He was the best captain pick in my view provided Morgan started. I went Aguero purely because there were articles saying Evans would start.

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

      How many times have you informed the community of this news?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years

        Why do people even care

    6. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      There's a lot of desperation in his moves already. Bet most of his rivals have Aguero captain and he is praying for a blank there to make up ground.

  8. Sánchez
    • 13 Years

    Andre Gray OOP?

    Puel curse to strike again 😮

  10. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Richarlison’s ownership dropped about 20% and he’s only gone down by 0.1?

    FPL towers at it again.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Standard.

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wild cards

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        But doesn’t make sense that Walcott triple rose in that case

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          That's true.

        2. Gazpilicueta
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          yeh cos loads of people did richarlison to walcott as a non wildcard transfer, but much more got rid on a wildcard for pedro, mkhytarian, and others.

          1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            But if the Walcott buyers were only a proportion of the total Richarlison sellers, then the numbers don’t add up. Obviously when a guy is red flagged is price changes are slower, but not to that extent. Sometimes anomalies like this have happened in past seasons; the best explanations seems to be that FPL sometimes make exceptions to their rules when it’s a popular player

    3. JustPark

      Chill. WC.

        Kohli sledging Root for coming in at 4. Love this game.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          This series has been much better and competitive than few of the recent Ind vs Eng ones.

          Used to be so boring when Dhoni was the captain.

          1. Parm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            India pacers and Bumrah in particular on a different level this series to the last one. If Bhuvi was fit I think it'd be a tied series at the least. Of course Kohli is GOAT level and some decent knocks from Rahane & Pujara too. Shame it has taken the first two tests for Kohli to find the right team combination.

        It's like Salah and bonus points, you still get him because he's good at everything else.

      I thought about cheeky Salah cap. All metrics say Aguero and Salah mat score similar but FOMO was greater than opportunity to get one over Aguero cappers.

    Such a coward starting Ings over AWB with the thought of Ings missing out altogether and thus making decision for me.

    Of course Shaw in B2 will probably have the highest haul of all 3.

    How are the Mendy gonna get rested rumours going?

        Can only speculate but I think he will. If I remember correctly Hughes said he’s been training

    3. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wrong move in my view. Hughes is one of those prone to late subs for basically people who can walk in his desperation to get late goals. Expect a cameo unless by some miracle they are leading.

      They must not have a penny on pool winning the league then. Ante post football is a very small market, no one wants to wait 8-9 months to be paid.
