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.

    That Salah miss must be , miss of the season right ?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It was a poor shot

      Top class player needs to finish that...

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

        So keeping Salah was right decision for this gameweek , but if he doesn't deliver today . Big drop incoming like 0.2 drop

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not sure if it was a good decision to keep

          Hazard was the logical swap in my opinion

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Or even sterling for a punt

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

            Salah and Hazard both in the team was way to go this gameweek .

            Even if Hazard blanks he will be in team , but if Salah blank today bye bye for me

          Would be dumb to get rid before Southampton at home next, majority will captain him

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

            He will be rotation risk , right for CL

    I went Haz for (C) been on him all international break.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good decision

      He will tear Cardiff a new one

      1. FPL Pillars
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cardiff are so dire. Haz should be in the BAPs and CS point and an point for a goal. Seems a risk worth taking.

          watched a lot of Cardiff matches, have you?

      2. El-Kloppico
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He will but wont shoot and jst dribbles around like headless chicken..
        I know it.. the frustration.. as I own him since GW3.

    2. Dannyb

        8 years, 1 month ago

        Big balls. Haven't ever ridden the defender captain train.

  4. Rainer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks for that Eriksen 🙂

  5. twoplustwo

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mane a serious liability tackling near his goal

    1. Dannyb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's never been good at defending haha

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

    So which of the Liverpool front 3 will klopp haul off early ( 70 minutes ) for Sturridge today?

    1. Dannyb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah or Mane, probably Salah.

    2. TheTinman
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What minute will Lallana come on for injured Sturridge?

      1. Dannyb
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Haha

    3. Holmes
      8 years, 1 month ago

      if score is 0-0, dont think any of them will be subbed off

  7. Jafooli
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah reverting to normal PL status. Selling next week 100%

    Mane not off side for rhat first goal.

    1. FPL Pillars
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Selling for Southampton at Home?

    2. Zladan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ja fool

  8. Rainer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A fully fit Rose like a new signing...

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah dive

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

      🙁

  10. OPTA FPL
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mane off at HT?

    1. Dannyb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, along with the rest of the players for water and oranges.

      1. OPTA FPL
        8 years, 1 month ago

        has been awful so far

        1. Rainer
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Salah and Mane both off at HT?

  11. Steirish
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Will Moura be nailed?

    1. Rainer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Never.

  12. L'Aeroplanino
    8 years, 1 month ago

    one season wonder

  13. Zladan
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah out on a wildcard seems to have been wise. Didn’t fancy using mine just yet though as the rest of the team was in decent shape.

  14. Jafooli
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This has Son 1-0 winner written all over it.

      Dunno what book you were reading...

  15. El-Kloppico
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Salah and Bobby ruining all attack!

  16. ☈☾
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which game to watch?

    A. City
    B. Chelsea
    C. Arsenal

    1. Dannyb
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A or B, both could be a bloodbath.

    2. El-Kloppico
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A if u capped Kun

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

    So much depends on salah doing today something for that 13€ tag

  18. 1zverGGadeM
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ooh, Come On SADIOOO...

  19. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Just saw Kun effective ownership in the top 10k is 180%
    Never saw anything like that before...

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

      How much is Salah in top 10k

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

        60 percent ownership

    2. Goat
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How does that work? How can the number go over 100%?

      1. TheTinman
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Captain

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

        Captains are counted twice, Triple captains thrice

      3. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        97 percent won him
        83 percent cap him

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

          Own not won

      4. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        effective ownership takes Captaincy into account. Not sure but think it basically counts a captained player as owned twice

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Looks like I need a minor fail then, since I captained Hazard

    3. beefo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Where do you find that information on the top 10k ownership? Can anyone provide a link? Thanks!

  20. TheTinman
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gomez to get the winner 1-0

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Really poor from Salah

    Klopp furious

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

      Again 🙁 from salah

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably the worst game commentary in the world

  22. Feloh
    8 years, 1 month ago

    salah piss poor

  23. Rainer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    3 on 3 and Vert shoots from there LOL

  24. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    why did I get up so early to watch this?

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

    WTF that was from Salah

    Arghhhhh

  26. Salarrivederci
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Robertson is such a good player.

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

    Kane looks really poor

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

      Even when he's poor he can score though - he cannot be written off until he's taken off or the match has finished.

  28. TAT
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is selling Salah before Southampton a bad idea. Would be an easy way to get Hazard.

  29. DAZZ
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Dembele may be the most underrated player in the premier league, he's a joy to watch

  30. 1zverGGadeM
    8 years, 1 month ago

    FFS Mane.. Two clear chances to shot or pass to Salah/Bobby! Terrible game from the senegaliesse
