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.

    Mini league rival benched Firmino(!), but gets points because of Mendy…

  4. LewanGOALski

    Oh dear...Mane has been awful

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He’d have 2 if Vorm was crapper

    2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much, tbh...
      (Just saw him sky that one well over the bar)
      But what did u think about Salah?

      1. Dyballer
        8 years, 1 month ago

        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

      Wow no way for me

  6. Deli Alli OxenFree!
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Well isn’t that’s just special...
    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

  11. Rainer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool still not playing great and winning, a very good sign 😀

    1. Goat
      8 years, 1 month ago

      True. When was the last time we won first 5 matches

    2. El-Kloppico
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Still on pre season mode..

    3. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, we def haven’t played well...
      and was about to say, “except our defense has been unbreakable!” —and then Lamela flicks that cheeky little shot into the net! ....flm

  12. Corrine M
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Billing in for Mendy. Hmmm.

  13. Goat
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Great result as a Liverpool fan that dropped salah and Mané on WC

  14. Feloh

    4. Klein
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  15. jtreble
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Another Mane missed pass opportunity. What is he thinking?

  16. RashFraud
    8 years, 1 month ago

    After watching this game I understand Salah’s underlying stats don’t mean jack.

    1. Forza

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

    2. Dyballer
      8 years, 1 month 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.

  17. SADIO SANÉ
    8 years, 1 month ago

    YES ERIK

  18. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
