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
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      assist will go to nacho

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Milner for me.
      Awesome

  2. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    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
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Only because Allison had a howler

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        So the result doesn’t reflect the game?

    2. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah Pool not been great.

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

  3. Streetad

    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
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

  4. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    How many baps for winning goal?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      +3 BPS.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          After.

        2. Kellz86
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Right now Mane on 2 and Bobby on 1

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino baps looking very likely 🙂

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        🙂

    3. Gangster Panda
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Chilwell deserves some for playing on with swollen gonads.

  5. SkeletONv01
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months 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
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Unlucky Pedro owners

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months 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
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not really. Was always under threat from Willian.

  7. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison off if anyone even cares still

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I do. 🙁

  8. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months 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 …
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pedro and Zaha out is sensual

  9. Khark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Pedro over Walcott the Walcott haters said

  10. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months 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
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I have him - looking like a fail.

      • @persecuted_by_mods
          7 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Agree

          2. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

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

      • FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Robboooo I need youuuuu

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Bench this week:

        Fraser - Ings - Tomkins

        😮 , reckon this could be frustrating

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            😀

        2. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 10 Years

        2. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          that's bad luck!

          1. Blanka
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            The other part of the equation was Tompkins to Alonso.

            So hopefully Alonso doesn't get sent off.

        3. Khark
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

      • Teror

          1. #FPLBhuna
            • 9 Years

              • 14 Years
              7 years, 6 months 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.

      • Agger
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Gazpilicueta
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. VFORVANDETA
            • 9 Years

          • 11 Years

          Robertson at 5 points. Still good.

      • Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

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

      • Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months 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
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Agger
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Mark's finished. No credibility left.

          1. Pep Pig
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Grow up

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I hope you mean Richarlison and not Walcott

            • 14 Years

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