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.

      8 years, 1 month ago

      First one to ever think that is a possibility. So profound.

  22. Salarrivederci
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Both Vertonghen and Vorm touches the ball (Vertonghen even changes direction and hits the post).
    If Mané gets an assist the game is rigged.

    1. BDMC5
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You have mane captain ?

      1. Salarrivederci
        8 years, 1 month ago

  23. jtreble

    Vorm is awful. Glad at least Mane didn't get an assist for that (at least he shouldn't).

  30. aborg
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Laughing at all the managers who removed Firmino. Karma for his price fall !
    I kept the faith in him.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      8 years, 1 month ago
