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.

  2. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Are people seriously questioning the Robertson assist?

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

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

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

      Of course.

      Oh, and welcome to ffs

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

    How do you think Mark is feeling right now?

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

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

      • THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

      • Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          True, this.

        2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Be confident man. I'm gonna smash him.

      Fingers crossed for a Jota goal today

      1. Sasquatch Slayer
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        *Jiminez

        1. Typo
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          He can get the assist

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

          *Firmino brace

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

        *hazard

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        And imagine if Bilva scores and Walcott blanks.

        1. I drink and I know things
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months 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
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That's a straight swap. Hardly chaos.

    4. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Hmmm...

      2. Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I’d love to have Milner 🙂

      3. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Above apparently

      4. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

    5. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      VVD over Robbo going well then:/

      1. Typo
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. Locarno
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I went TAA over Robbo, so I win.

    6. St. Joseph
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      Im sucks

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

        you
        are
        sucks

      2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Grammar checks out.

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

          😆

      3. Typo
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

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

        Agreed

    8. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Most in CL history I think

      2. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        he was brilliant for villa when he first started

    9. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          I have no intention of selling btw

    10. ALTOID11
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone thinking of shipping out Salah?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Oh dear

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

      Salah needs to step up to warrant 13m

      Need a goal and assist minimum with 3 baps

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Salah doesn’t do BAPs for anything under a brace

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

        About those baps...

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

          This.

      3. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Wrong.

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

        Salah is a bap free zone

      5. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      6. Typo
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      7. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months 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 …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        More drivel

    12. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not ideal

    13. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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

    14. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Salah will outscore Mane over the course of the season.

      Bookmark this

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not exactly 'out there'

      2. slasken
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      4. Percy07
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      5. Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah but cap

          1. Podge
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Kun cap

      6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

    15. Willmissudimitrypayet

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

      1. Chucky

        please make this happen

        1. Jafooli

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. Willmissudimitrypayet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

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

    16. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

        Genius, and first one of your kind.

    17. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No way José

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

        No

      3. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No.

      4. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Step away from your computer

    18. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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.

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

      COK3Y5MURF

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

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        LOL.

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I would. After the price rise.

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

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

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

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

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

    21. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. In FPHell
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This move will crash your season

    22. FPLGeezer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months 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
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years

        Brag

    23. pgeelufc

      Something tells me we are going to see Alisson get dropped and banned at Liverpool with what I've just watched on Whatsapp xDDD

          Having a 4-some. Doing cocaine off a birds arse. And he's married with a daughter, what a twat.

          1. AnfieldLad
            • 11 Years

            Just seen it. Not him surely? Don’t they have regular drugs tests?

        It’s been out for a while ...

    24. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Those Kane fixtures after the the Liverpool vs spurs game though

    25. Hotdogs for Tea

      Can’t believe al the knee jerky comments after just 50 mins of football

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

        Even after three years?

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Even after 3 years it surprises me

      2. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        +1

        Thoughts on TAA to Robertson?

    26. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      C’mon Robbo, get amongst the baps ffs....

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years

        He will after the 60th minute mate

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

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