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 (ยฃ7.5m) drops to the bench to allow club captain Jordan Henderson (ยฃ5.4m) to come back into the starting line-up.

The headline Fantasy options Mohamed Salah (ยฃ13.0m), Sadio Manรฉ (ยฃ9.9m) and Andrew Robertson (ยฃ6.1m) have all kept their places.

The Reds remain heavily backed in this fixture with Salah still in 55 percent of teams, Manรฉ 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 (ยฃ6.0m) in 18 percent of squads and 17 percent invested in Trent Alexander-Arnold (ยฃ5.0m).

It appears that Demarai Gray (ยฃ5.5m) is leading the Leicester line in the absence of Jamie Vardy (ยฃ8.9m). Kelechi Iheanacho (ยฃ6.0m) drops to the bench.

Ricardo Pereira (ยฃ5.0m) 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

    Jonty convinced on Pedro, the bullets are flying today.

      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lol, Jonty needs a tin hat.

      Have to say, I was going to bring him in but thought he’d share minutes with will.i.am anyway so went against it. And put Zaha in my starting team instead.

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Walcott is a confidence player that defies stats.

      Jonty is very bad, doesn’t understand football

      Not really a surprise? I thought he only ever had three games while the new guy served a suspension?

  8. Demel
    • 14 Years

    I think everyone should wildcard and shift Salah.

    As a person with a wildcard in my back pocket and also owning Hazard, Salah and Kun this would make me very happy.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years

      This

  9. TRIPOS TOPPER

    Argh!

    No Zaha
    No Tommo
    No Sessegnon

    no Masuaku off bench
    no Quaner off the bench

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

      Shock horror. Your terrible bench comes back to haunt you. That's why you should have a couple of decent options on the bench. It is your own fault.

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

        The folly of the “bench fodder” player...

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I know

      but I used up transfers on other options. Only way to get decent bench was WC

      Yes. This will be known as wildcard day.

      Loads of fixtures, and thus lots of salt.

      Weather is nice - drinking.

      International break.

      What more do you want?!

    Wait, people actually thought Pedro was nailed?

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

      well walcott is a stupid pick. he was only other one worth getting in

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

        Let's go Schürrle!

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

      Jonty did a whole thing about him starting even when Haz plays so Joe nicely set himself up as a scapegoat thus ensuring people would bring in once they had the excuse. In fairness, I also thought he would start over William.

  13. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Pedro owners how you feelin’ ?

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

      One clown on here is claiming he is still pleased with choosing Pedro over Theo lmao

      Fantastic mate. Thanks for asking. Went for a 10k this morning and eat a healthy breakfast. Feel bloody awesome.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How do you think they feel?

      Stupid ass question.

      Fruity

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

      I chose not to go in the end and I feel relieved. Although I also played Zaha so not that relieved.

  14. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Brought in Pedro and Zaha out, at least Dunk plays so I have a first sub. Had a feeling that was why Hodgson was so vague.

    Billing off the bench! Come on lad!

  16. samaael

  17. CostaCoffee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    No Tomkins or Pedro but at least AWB and Arnie are playing. “AWB won’t play because he’s 18 and played midweek”

    1. Hotdogs for Tea

  18. Volley127
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Rival benched Ings and played Zaha.

    I benched Ings for WB.

    The rest is history..

  19. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years

    Salah(C) keeping faith.

  20. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Why does Maddison have an assist?

    BBC saying it was Kelichi?

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

      hoping fpl change it

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      it was Kelechi, BBC blazer folk used to watching rugby!

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

    Wish I'd played Ings over Wan Bissaka now with Tomkins ruled out. Good luck everyone.
    Excellent news that Arnie starts.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully he'll score from bench.

      Was always a risk.

    ddg, salah and quaner all in my team set this drop in price. Would you wildcard to avoid the drops of keep and just ditch one of them on a free?

  26. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Replacing Salah with Mané and spending that cash on Kane up front, right thing to do?

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years
