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.

    1. lifes a pitch
      • 12 Years

      Salah goal incoming

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years

  7. Make United Great Again

    Salah or Mane. Get involved. Please.

  8. Ronaldoke
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Whether or not it’s an assist, Mane has looked fantastic all game long whereas Salah looks sluggish.

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fantastic? We watching the same game?

      1. Ronaldoke
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He’s looked lively, no? Constant outlet on that left side, taking people on and getting into the box. I’m starting to feel tempted by the Salah to Mane move, despite the lack of assist.

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How fortunate is Trippier to not have scored an own goal do?

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Dembele fail

  11. Rsforstar
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    why poch sub out dembele instead of winks or dier? :s

  12. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Dembele OUT means more space for LFC trio.. great!

  13. 1zverGGadeM
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    VVD close

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      at least barely SOT registered

  14. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Surprising that Kane has not been subbed. Looked awful

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He's Harry Kane, the little darling of Tottenham.

  15. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    High time to take Robbo off

  16. Licky
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lamela on to buy a penalty.

  17. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    VVD needs to be scoring those

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    3 - Firmino (34)
    2 - Wijnaldum (25)
    1 - Gomez, Robertson, Alisson (23)

  19. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Won't be a scramble to get Kane in for games away to Brighton and Huddersfield after this then.

  20. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Vorm is the Chuckle Brothers moulded into one man.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Too soon. The wound is fresh.

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Morbid.

  21. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Great tackle by Gomez.
    Better than Lovren and Matip merged together.

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      But Lovren is one of the best in the world!

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Two finals I hear

  22. 1zverGGadeM
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gomez showing amazing progress under Klopp. At least 1 of the best English defenders nowadays

  23. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gómez Robbo Allison all tied on 1 bonus

  24. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Vorm on 1 bonus

    Lol@fpl

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Assist for Firmino goal

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      made a few saves, but that's more down to Liverpool being wasteful with their shots on target

    3. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No he isn't...
      3 - Firmino (34)
      2 - Wijnaldum (25)
      1 - Gomez, Robertson, Alisson (23

  25. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mane has been pretty lively despite no returns

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He’s been awful

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Any radio station I can listen to the football on while abroad? Won’t let me listen to Radio 5 Live.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same...

    2. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Weird, I'm listening to 5live on the radio player app on my phone, on a beach in Cyprus right now

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mane should be passing to salah

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      African link confirmed.

      1. APN
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Salah is also African :p

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          lol

        2. 1zverGGadeM
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I'm not jumping into that trap to get a ban,mate, but yeah - I guess you are right 😀

          1. APN
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Why a ban ? Salah is from Egypt, which is in Africa. So, there is nothing which I said that warrants a ban. 🙂

            1. 1zverGGadeM
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah Yeah.. Nevermind

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

      Nope.

      Both options were great, Keita should of done better. Awful miss.

  28. seewhyaxe
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah scored yet?

  29. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mane didnt want to serve Salah!

  30. TAT
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Selling Salah looks more tempting by the minute…
