No surprises as Spurs host Liverpool in Gameweek 5 opener

There were no big surprises as the team sheets came out for Gameweek 5’s opening fixture between Tottenham and Liverpool.

Despite fears that Reds manager Jurgen Klopp would rotate some of his big hitting Fantasy Premier League options, Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) was the only one to drop out.

Naby Keita (£7.4m) comes in while Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£10.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) all kept their places in the starting XI.

As expected, Michel Vorm (£4.9m) comes in for the injured Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) while Harry Winks (£5.5m) gets the nod with Dele Alli (£9.1m) out with a knock.

There is unlikely to be much captain interest in this fixture with both Salah and Harry Kane (£12.5m) backed by under 6% in our most recent poll for the armband.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR XI (4-2-3-1): Vorm, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Winks, Eriksen, Lucas, Kane.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Milner, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

        Mane seems to be more involved in the attack than Salah. Also seems more selfish which is good for goal potential. I was more disappointed with Salah than Mane, because he didn’t actually have a good shot on goal. All were way too central, whereas Mane had a goal disallowed and also a few shots that could have easily gone in

    Mkhi Chilling on the Bench, AND Mendy not even in the squad!...fml
    ...plus, Bilva(who I shipped out this week) & Lacazette(who I predicted to be in the Points—but didn’t bring in) are Both Starting! ...and both looking like nice options

      A few were saying the same about Aguero before that 5-goal Newcastle game a few years ago.

      I agree unfortunately. His shots are just nowhere near enough threatening atm. Also his only contribution seems to be these shots. Mane seems to be hogging the ball more and providing better quality shots.
