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

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 7 months ago

      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.

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        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
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Fair point

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

    Salah must be terrifying to play against, Vertonghen & Toby got lucky there

  8. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…

    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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mane ineligible ?!

  25. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

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

      what about Hazard -> Salah next week?

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

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

  26. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago
