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

  3. Chucky

    1. Goat

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

    liverpool doing a good job slowing down the game by passing to hendo

  6. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah does not look worth 13 million, especially with those fixtures. Yes he could haul at any time, but he looks out of form to me.

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      just got rid of mane for hazard, would love to get rid of him and use funds elsewhere but who on? and the lack of liverpool players is just stupid

    2. Ghost Ship
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He’s obviously going to do some damage at some point but his price doesn’t seem to be good value - I’m looking at downgrading so I can get in all the premium defenders.

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        could do the same, upgrade GK aswell

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

    Salah marked out of the game, captaincy fail.

  8. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Henderson is terrible

  9. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He’s even laying waste to my spelling

  10. Ghost Ship
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know what happened to Clyne? Hasn’t even made the bench since week one.

  11. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mendy on 1 BAP

    That name 🙂

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

    Liverpool struggling to get out of their half.

  13. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool need Keita on

  14. barrybigyin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Leicester could play for two weeks and not score against this Liverpool defence

    1. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t jynx it

  15. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Terrible game to watch...

  16. Mic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    We all know Salah will play horribly then score a screamer

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve scored with a few screamers myslef

      1. Mic
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        😀

      2. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        lol

  17. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Milner is great for allowing Robbo to stay up. What a ledge.

  18. noahzark22
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    so I soberly went with Mkhitaryan as captain instead of Salah at like midnight last night. 6:30am deadline in EST. I'm looking okay so far!

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not when Mkhi is benched

      1. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        i said so far!

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Knew I should have gone hazard and mane over salah and walcott

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve got all four, with Schnederlin in for Hazard 😎

  20. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Why is Firmino playing freaking midfield half the time? He just passed it 20 metres forward to Milner FFS

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Got rid before last week because of this

  21. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Lost of space, Mane uninterested

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 7 months ago

        yeah that was odd

      • AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, really disappointing.

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino has been a waste of space so far. So deep in all games

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

        couple of chances, im reserving judgement for another hour. he could grab a goal here.

      2. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Whaeyyyyy

      3. Texas Pete
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Think it's the haircut.

      4. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Who scored the second goal?

    3. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Henderson is so average

    4. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      This game needs Keita

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

      I can confirm after my sin bin that laugh out loud at Mané sellers is not allowed 😯

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        How long is the punishment for? Is it worth the time to commit the crime?

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This needs to change. It's a harmless abbreviation. It's not racism, sexism or profanity.

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

          I agree way OTT in my opinion

    6. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      As good as Salah's stats are...what if he has lost his mojo? What if he gets no where near last seasons goals/assists? What if?

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That’s the purpose of the game, to make those judgements.

      2. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's the 4th match of the season and he already has 2 goals and 2 assists - what are you on about?

      3. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Nonsense. Salah has the best attacking stats in the league this season.

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          You missed his point..

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I did indeed. OK my answer is it looks like he's carrrying on from last season

      4. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        If the stats stay the same, over the course of 38 games he will probably have a similar performance to last season. That doesn’t mean he can’t blank for 5 in a row though.

      5. korbendallas82
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You have Salah Captain this weekend?

      6. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Haha...I knew that would rile a few people...I wouldn't be getting rid of Salah at all, I think he is a fantastic player...but it is interesting that you cannot say a thing against him anymore!

    7. stall express

      Does anyone have Marks team please ID?

    8. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Do you reckon going Firmino to Vady next week is a good idea?

      Would mean no Liverpool though

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Timing

      2. stall express
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        The old say you will sell him and tempt the Firmino goal tactic works 🙂

      3. Rojo's Modern Life
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No Liverpool lol. Fail

      4. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You put the fear of the axe into Bobby. That’ll learn him.

    9. diesel001
      • 9 Years
