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.

    Salah shot on target

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    That was a terrible shot, seemed to get the ball lost under him like he did v palace when wan got sent off

      It's concerning that his only thought was to get something on target. No attempt to get any angle or power on it

      Do you think? Looked to me like he went high expecting Vorm to drop, and was well read by the keeper. The shot coud have been much better of course, but hardly terrible.

        I think you are giving his too much credit. Valid approach on a 1 on 1 but Vorm still had some cover coming back so had no need to dive

        1. DantheManinaPan

          Fair point

    Liverpool really need the win today.
    Team i decimated next week with Mane, VvD, Lovren and a couple more ineligible vs their parent club.
    Maybe they'll give Dings a game.

    1. Totalfootball
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mane ineligible ?!

      1. Ha.

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yup , it's going that why unless he changes it today

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's no Messi or ronaldo

  25. BenDavies
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah--> Hazard clearly the correct move to have made. Well done to those who made it.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      8 years, 1 month ago

      what about Hazard -> Salah next week?

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

      I did Mane > Hazard in GW4....unless Salah does something I may have got rid of the wrong Liverpool attacker

  26. Ha.
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would love a Winks goal. Even as a VVD owner.

  27. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    8 years, 1 month ago
