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

    Thinking of saving FT and doing Salah+Jimenez->Kane+Milner after the Liv vs Tot match.

    Are people seriously questioning the Robertson assist?

    1. Fantastisk
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only salty TAA owners (of which there seem to be a few on here).

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Of course.

      Oh, and welcome to ffs

    3. barrybigyin
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's more do with the inconsistency of the system awarding and not awarding assists for deflections. Mendy's one for Jesus for example was not given. In my opinion both Mendy's and Robbos should have been given

  3. Fantastisk
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How do you think Mark is feeling right now?

    1. Jay_

      Top o' the world

    2. Typo

      Elaborate this a bit more mate

      1. Fantastisk
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Had a shocking start to the season, WC, had another shocker, captained Salah today to try and make up ground.

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    4. Differential C (Mark)

      He's class, wouldnt be too worried for him. Will probably outrank all of us by the end of the season.

      1. NATSTER
        8 years, 1 month ago

        True, this.

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Be confident man. I'm gonna smash him.

      Form is temporary, class is permanent...

    Fingers crossed for a Jota goal today

      *Jiminez

      1. Typo
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He can get the assist

      2. Gazpilicueta
        8 years, 1 month ago

        *Firmino brace

    2. Goat
      8 years, 1 month ago

      *hazard

  5. FDMS All Starz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    One more Mane goal and a Salah blank could throw FPL into chaos, especially if Hazard scores too

    1. Pacer.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah is doing fine and won't return every single game. Hardly going to see 'chaos' lol

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      8 years, 1 month ago

      And imagine if Bilva scores and Walcott blanks.

      1. I drink and I know things
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Please don’t even think that...
        I have Salah and also chose Sane at start of season over Mane - d’oh
        And I sold Laca in GW2 for Vardy - double d’oh
        And then bought Richarlison just before his red card
        And I bought Walcott last night...

    3. JustPark
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's a straight swap. Hardly chaos.

  6. Sasquatch Slayer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The way this place knee-jerks I’m surprised there’s no Salah to Milner speak . Frees up funds for Kane

    1. Fred54
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hmmm...

    2. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’d love to have Milner 🙂

    3. Valar(Keith)
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Above apparently

    4. FDMS All Starz
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Its not knee jerk if 2 good players outscore 1 great player and 1 average player e.g Hazard & Mane > Salah & Bilva

  7. rdamjan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    VVD over Robbo going well then:/

    1. Typo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, at least hes nailed. Lol. I admit my mistake, but im not doing the transf now

    2. Locarno
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I went TAA over Robbo, so I win.

  8. St. Joseph
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I like firmino
    Im a liverpudlian
    But i sold firmino for a hit!

    Im sucks

    1. Gazpilicueta
      8 years, 1 month ago

      you
      are
      sucks

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems

      Grammar checks out.

      1. Jafooli
        8 years, 1 month ago

        😆

    3. Typo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For a hit. Ouch. Selling this week for Vardy I think

  9. Jafooli
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bobby and Milner need to get off Robbo’s baps asap....

    1. Fantasynørden
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed

  10. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Only 6 players have more assists in PL history than Milner apparently.

    1. Les Bleus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Most in CL history I think

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      8 years, 1 month ago

      he was brilliant for villa when he first started

  11. Rash
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The only reason I think you can justify selling salah would be if bringing in a on fire Harry Kane and giving him the armband.

    1. Pacer.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Even then it just seems a waste of time, energy and free transfers

      1. Rash
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I have no intention of selling btw

  12. ALTOID11
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone thinking of shipping out Salah?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Oh dear

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah needs to step up to warrant 13m

    Need a goal and assist minimum with 3 baps

    1. Les Bleus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah doesn’t do BAPs for anything under a brace

    2. Ha.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      About those baps...

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This.

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wrong.

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah is a bap free zone

    5. Optimus.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just sell him mate, he's giving you too much grief for 13m spenditure

    6. Typo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No wory, if he blanks ppl sell, becomes a more power diff 🙂

    7. Pacer.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salahs has 25 points in 3 games

      What planet are you on. You're just trying to whip of a Salah thing, when no reason for one exists.

      That's 300 odd points over a season

    8. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      8 years, 1 month ago

      More drivel

  14. Eden Wizard
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Not ideal

  15. FDMS All Starz
    8 years, 1 month ago

    TAA has looked a bit poor in the first half, think rotation is inevitable with Clyne and Gomez both capable of playing there, should get rid sooner rather than later I think

  16. Butcher
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah will outscore Mane over the course of the season.

    1. DantheManinaPan

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not exactly 'out there'

    2. slasken
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He should by a mile with that price tag. So happy I started the season with Mane and not “No value Salah “ 🙂

    3. diesel001
      8 years, 1 month ago

      But will he outscore him by £3.5m worth. That is the real question.

    4. Percy07
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ditto. Not dropping Salah just because he blanked a half.

    5. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Will he outscore him by 40% cos he costs about 40% more

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but cap

        1. Podge
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Kun cap

    6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely mental prediction. You've really got some cojones to come up with something like that.

  17. Willmissudimitrypayet
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mane red card or injury incoming and YOU KNOW I am right

    1. Chucky
      8 years, 1 month ago

      please make this happen

      1. Jafooli
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Naughty Chuckinho....

        1. Chucky
          8 years, 1 month ago

          😀

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Normal people usually don't wish for injuries. That's below almost everyone's standard.

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I am not hoping for it. It is just facts..

  18. The Wise Owl
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm calling it, Salah isn't worth 13.

    1. Gazpilicueta
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Genius, and first one of your kind.

  19. nobwak
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I have 3 players in my team looking like dropping tonight - all fringe players & borderline fodder, except DDG. Would getting rid of them all to retain team value warrant a wildcard?

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No way José

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No.

      Step away from your computer

  20. Jafooli
    8 years, 1 month ago

    For me the main reason for owning Salah is I would just waste the extra funds on other dross.

    So only one player to be disappointed by, not two or three.

  21. Gazpilicueta
    8 years, 1 month ago

    if your still around....
    Ok so Bobby gets 5 Goals in the best second half weve ever seen. you still get rid?

    1. diesel001
      8 years, 1 month ago

      LOL.

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would. After the price rise.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        8 years, 1 month ago

        5 goals? really? ok... so lets say he scored 10.

  22. AnfieldLad
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool are not playing well. 2-0 no reflection of the game. Get Keita on

    1. Les Bleus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. No treat going forward outside the first 10-15 minutes.

  23. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Think I might do Salah to Ghezzal and keep the money itb for the immenient financial crash.

    1. In FPHell
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jeez talk about a template move... Who isn’t gonna do that this week?

    2. Arctic monkeys
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This move will crash your season

  24. FPLGeezer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm in top 10k atm (not a brag) but seeing Mane ownership is killing me. Reluctant to bring him in now given the price rises and fixtures although can see him scoring against the top sides.

    1. grumpyman
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I got rid this morning for a hit. I am incredibly consistent at FPL. Consistently bad.

      Thoughts on TAA to Robertson?

  29. barrybigyin
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison is a bit underwhelming for 20m quid. The lad can't even pass a ball without over hitting it.

    1. Locarno
      8 years, 1 month ago

      £20m doesn't buy you much these days .Alfie Mawson and Danny Ings both cost that.
