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.

    6. Holmes
      8 years, 1 month ago

    7. Point-one short
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Still a true statement.

      Robberson: 40 Points
      TAA: 29 Points

        Pulled those numbers out of my ass. 34 vs 23 correct as above.

    9. Halftime
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I still think he is, today's result notwithstanding

    10. Boomerang V
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He is still worth it. TAA was just lucky to be subbed off. No big deal about that.

    11. XabiAlonso
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Still did better than Ben Davies hey

  7. LeicesterA
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Punch in the guts that game. Fine margins, things could've been so different yet no doubt the gloaters will be out in force!

    1. Holmes
      8 years, 1 month ago

      just above you

      1. LeicesterA
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly.

        I just find it tedious.

  8. Big Ping
    8 years, 1 month ago

    As a Salah, mane, Robbo owner and Spurs fan. I'm in a low place right now and feeling quite vulnerable 🙁

      1. Blanka
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Fixtures and pens. Not that rubbish.

    6. Point-one short
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bit harsh, but if it must be done you round up Pogba and I'll get the shotgun.

  12. SirStevieG
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mane, Robertson and Moura all blanks. What a rubbish start.

  13. diesel001
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Benched VVD. Thankfully Spurs scored!

  14. Salarrivederci
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Vertonghen hit that ball before Lamela.
    That assist will be changed.

  15. AnfieldLad
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Yikes, 6 from 3 here. Good start for wildcarders (assuming they dropped triple Liverpool)

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I dropped Salah and TAA

  16. Zebrahimović
    8 years, 1 month ago

  20. BON
    8 years, 1 month ago

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lol, with Southampton? Unlikely

    2. F4L
      8 years, 1 month ago

    3. Point-one short
      8 years, 1 month ago

  21. MTPockets

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just useless I think. Spurs needed to score. It wasn't going to come from him.
