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

    Maddison comes off the bench with Zaha been out. I can live with that.

    1. samaael
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      assist will go to nacho

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Milner for me.
      Awesome

    Just got home. The stats indicate that it’s been a close game in terms of possession, shots etc. Has it been as close as the stats suggest?

    1. J T
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Only because Allison had a howler

      1. Oven Glover
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        So the result doesn’t reflect the game?

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

      Yeah Pool not been great.

      1. Oven Glover
        • 11 Years

        Cheers

    Pedro ffs.

    I almost brought Maddison in as my replacement for Richarison but bottled it because of fixtures.

    Watch him get 7 minutes at the end so Ings stays on my bench too..

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Na he’ll get at least 20, could still score in that time

  4. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    How many baps for winning goal?

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

      +3 BPS.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        cheers. is that usually being added just after the game or later on?

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

          After.

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

          Right now Mane on 2 and Bobby on 1

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Firmino baps looking very likely 🙂

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        🙂

    3. Gangster Panda
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Chilwell deserves some for playing on with swollen gonads.

  5. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    As a Liverpool fan, they dont deserve to win this game, awful play :/

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

      I wonder if this is what being a United fan feels like... :thinking:

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

      So scoring 2 goals to 1 but they don't deserve 3pts because their play wasn't up to your armchair liking?

  6. Fpl Old Guard
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Unlucky Pedro owners

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Don't think so.We will get a late goal too.And he is 6.5 mid lool not a 8 mil one

    2. Brehmeren
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not really. Was always under threat from Willian.

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

    Maddison off if anyone even cares still

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I do. 🙁

  8. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Pedro + Zaha is the best thing so far this GW.

    Alisson ruined 6 points off Robo -.-

    Let's go Hazard + Townsend!

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Pedro and Zaha out is sensual

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

    Pedro over Walcott the Walcott haters said

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

    Why are all these Pedro owners saying x player is coming on for him? He’s more than likely to make a cameo sub than not.

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

      Because they were daft enough to bring him in the first place.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah I have him - looking like a fail.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Initial few weeks sarri makes subs around 60 mins, plenty of time for Pedro to do damage

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Agree

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

        Fair enough he might do. But he’s not a given to be benched all game.

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

    Robboooo I need youuuuu

  12. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Here's hoping Bilva starts now!

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

  13. Jafooli

    8 years, 2 days ago

    Bench this week:

    Fraser - Ings - Tomkins

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Fraser going to do you proud. Chelsea are leaky like a youth hostel toilet.

      • 14 Years

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

        The other part of the equation was Tompkins to Alonso.

        So hopefully Alonso doesn't get sent off.

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

      Wow serious.

  18. Bada Bing
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Where the heck is Zaha?? Is he suffering from ptsd after facing his nemesis, the frightening Harry the hornet last week?

  19. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Kun blank can only save this GW

  20. BrutalLogiC

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years

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

        should be updated in-game to reflect this

  21. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Salah > Mane ?

  22. Rainer
    • 10 Years

      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Leicester

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          Cheers, not watching the game as you can tell. Will make sure to look out for him on MOTD.

          Will come into FPL I assume if he’s playing now.

  24. Agger
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Mané owner.. Non Salah owner.. non Liverpool defence owner.
    Good times.

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

      Non Robertson owner means you are missing out on a lot of points already

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        This

    2. Mic
      • 9 Years

      Feel for your team

    3. tikka mo'salah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Robertson at 5 points. Still good.

  25. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    I think Tosun is going to prove himself as the Everton asset-to-have in Richarlisons absence.

  26. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    So is Zaha sh@gging Hodgson’s daughter or something like he did Moyes’ at Man U when he was inexplicably left out?

    1. Guru Mediation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Well he was left out of the ivory coast squad, so the signs were there. Nothing suspicious I'm sure

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

    Mark will be fuming - another Sessegnon benching

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

      Mark's finished. No credibility left.

      1. Pep Pig
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Grow up

      2. St. Joseph
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Come on man it's just 4 GW. He'll beat u at the end of the season, I'm pretty sure.

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

        Said by someone with no credibility lmao

  28. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Hahaha. Brought Pedro in for Walcott at 11:29.

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

      I hope you mean Richarlison and not Walcott

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Nope. Was on a wildcard. Had a last-minute change of mind.

  29. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years

    Mendy yellow

    That Salah performance does complicate things a tad though, especially if Kane performs
