Fantasy managers spared pains of Liverpool rotation at Leicester

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

    Zaha down to about 6.8 or 6.7 by end of IB would be lovely

      How would he drop from 7.1 to 6.7 between one gameweek.

      You’d think for someone playing the game for at least eight years you’d know you can only drop 0.3 in each gameweek.

        I’m guessing he hasn’t realised Zaha has risen.

        as a non-owner price rises are easy to miss, you’re probably being a little harsh

          Perhaps - but if you’re gonna post about your desire for other people’s players to drop massively in price, at least get your facts straight first!

      Price changes during the first IB have been pretty slow the past couple of years. I wouldn't expect massive changes from anyone, unless someone scores a hat-trick or something.

                Had a pair of them boots myself. Lovely leatherette. Was tying them up tighter as the match went on and the boot expanded. Lovely looking they were for about 10 minutes... China's best at the time. Now they're all wearing them 🙂

    Bavies -100.9 now. Not happy if he drops tonight and Trippier probably better long term option. On the other hand Bavies should have delivered and may do so soon. My idea was to have him as long term option and stick, but close to knee jerking now 🙁 Opinions?

      Spurs defence is a minefield. Was last season and don’t see any reason why this one will be different. Even with Rose agitating for a move he was still played last game. Trippier will rotate too. It’s annoying because they would all be good to own.
