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.

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Mane should have passed to Salah

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      probably should have for the Firmino goal too tbh

  11. ☻ Jon Snow ☻

    VVD is playing in midfield in Spurs half lol

  13. *sigh*
    • 14 Years

    Not sure what game Mane lovers have been watching? He’s been very wasteful and twice I’ve seen should’ve played Salah in.

    Moura looking to be dropped.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years

    Question for Salah owners......

    Will you offload Salah before his price drops or faith?

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

      No way before Southampton

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

      Ahead of Soton? What do you think?

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

      Is his price going to fall before SOU?

    Mané should have passed it to Salah. Selfish player.

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

      selfish? he passed the ball to keita

    2. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He passed to Keita. Not sure how this makes him selfish

    3. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Selfish comment

  17. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years

    Do something Salah you pr*ck

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

      No need for name calling.

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He just needs motivation

    3. BooYaKasha
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Such high ownership does it matter?

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

    What was Mane thinking?

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

      Dreadful.

    2. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      *Im not passing to Salah* lol

  19. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How old is Kane?
    He looks a bit like G. Murray.

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

      Playing like him too.

  20. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mane clearly selfish and probably one of the reasons why Salah hasn't been scoring much and low on confidence

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

      Haha, yup, that's the reason.

  21. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Need a Spurs goal

    1. Tommy Svindal Larsen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Or more accurately, they need two

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

        He needs a Spurs goal from a FPL POV. Accurately isn't accurate.

  22. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Good defending Salah

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

    Bobby is magic!

  24. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Klopp, take off Mane already

  25. COYS Down Under
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mo Salah? No Mo Salah

  26. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen -> Wijnaldum for a -4?

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

      Basically playing the same role, Gini in a better team, makes sense.

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

      Lmao

  27. Jar Jar Winks
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    thats what happens when you buy no players to improve your team

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

    Come on Mane, please score and shut a lot of these people up haha.

  29. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    No pre match preamble?

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

    Keita CS banked.

    Mane will have to pass to Salah now.
