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

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yes, picked up a strain in training yesterday apparently...

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        8 years, 2 days ago

        So bloody mention it yesterday then!!!!FS

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

        Link?

    1. Les Bleus

      Good shout.

    2. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Well spotted.

  7. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Why is Zaha actually out though

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Personal reasons.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Per BBC Sport - 'personal reasons'.

      I don't think it is an injury - which is why Hodgson keeps saying Zaha is fine.

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Loan move to Burton

    4. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Picked up a strain

  8. Eden Wizard

    Kun cameo the only thing that can save me now

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years

      You are a terrible FPL manager. Nothing can save you.

      1. Eden Wizard

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 days ago

            He’s about 1.6ml and finished 3ml last year...what are you saying

  9. Fantasynørden
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Zaha?!

  10. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Zaha out means Maddison comes off the bench 😎

  11. LD
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Fraser first sub for Zaha isn’t so bad :), here’s to hoping he has a good game against Chelsea

    1. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      That's my first sub too.

    3. Botman and Robben

  12. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Salah + Van Dijk > Hazard + Alonso
    Yay or Nay?

    (Will still have Mane as Liverpool coverage along with Aguero, Auba & Bilva, could bring in Wilson too for -4)

  13. Les Bleus
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    That Allison howler has cost me 8 points 🙁

    1. Fantastisk

    Someone here mentioned Zaha would be out this week when there was literally no news.
    Incredible!

  17. Demel

    For anyone whinging about rotation.

    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. Khark
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      This.

      Been preaching a playing bench on here for a while and always get counter-arguments that it weakens your 11.

    2. willl
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Or pick players that are actually nailed.

      None of this Pedro shite.

    3. Mic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      You have to be the most negative poster ever.. i read your posts in the voice of Professor Snape sometimes

      1. Demel
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        🙂

    4. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yup, important indeed, although I've got Wilson 1st sub if Pedro doesn't come on which I'm expecting a 20min cameo for 1pt.

  18. Khark
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    No Zaha & Pedro with the Salah blank

    That’s really gonna cause some headaches

  19. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Would you WC this?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Mendy, Robbo, PVA, Wan-B
    Salah, Bilva, Hazard
    Aguero, Zaha*

    Stekelenburg, Cairney*, Kamara, Stephens

    1. Sharkytect
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Two players need replacing?

      No, no wildcard

  20. Sharkytect
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Charlie daniels dropped, just as everyone here predicted after 3 games. Well done FFS for the info

  21. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Masuaku not even in the squad. Interesting.
    Pellegrini seems to play you and then drop you completely! Happened a few times already with Ogbonna, Rice etc.

  22. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Neves will be subbed in for Zaha...go Rubin!

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    At least Zaha should be back next week...

    Doherty first off my bench for him

    1. Khark
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      That’s not the end of the world.

  24. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Pedrowned

    1. BrutalLogiC
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      good one

  25. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Pool so average over the 1st four games.

    If they get away with the win here it'd be a blessing having 12/12.
