Key FPL assets all start as Burnley face Liverpool

The eighth and final Premier League match of a busy Saturday kicks off at 17:30 BST, with Liverpool the visitors to Turf Moor.

The team news is very straightforward as there is just one change to the starting XIs in all: Aaron Lennon (£4.9m) replacing the injured Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£6.0m) on the right flank for Burnley.

Jurgen Klopp names the same 11 players who lined up for the victory over Arsenal last Saturday.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is the second-most-captained player of Gameweek 4, having been handed the armband by over one million FPL managers.

Liverpool put seven goals past the Clarets in their two meetings last season, with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) scoring three of them.

The Reds are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Sean Dyche’s side recorded a shut-out in their only previous home league game this season: against Southampton in Gameweek 1.

Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) has scored in each of his three league appearances this season and was bought by over 250,000 Fantasy bosses in the build-up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) was the second-most-sold defender of this current Gameweek, having been offloaded by over 190,000 FPL managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Lennon, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Barnes, Wood.

Liverpool XI: Adrían; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mané, Firmino.

    Firmino ticking along quietly. Remember, he was in the FPL team of the season 2017/18.

      That gives VVD the chance to nick the last bonus point.

      He really does. I don't blame him either.

    1. Hazz

      Did FFS inherit the spirit of Mané?

  15. BobbyV

  17. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    Think its because Salah didnt pass the ball

    1. Rainer

      Sherlock Homes has competition!

    Mane sulking now

  19. teddypicker

    Is it likely Haller could get injured on international break?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      As likely as anyone

  23. FISSH

    Is be raging too. Mane is never selfish like that.

    1. Muchentuchel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mané is selfish in a 'good way'. He knows when to try it on his own and when to pass.

  24. SH1M1
    • 12 Years

    Could see that Mane outburst coming from a mile off, him & salah deffo have tendencies where they shoot rather then pass, both have that goal scorer mentality

    1. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Totally agree. Signs were there last season that they only just tolerate each other.

  25. Four Hit Wonder

    Mane 28
    VVD 27

    Current baps, fight for 1 bonus point.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        1 and 0

  26. MITHRRANDIRR
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane furious at Salah. Rightly so, Mane was free. Salah too selfish as always.

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane so angry because Salah didn't pass to him

  28. The_Fish

    Henderson 4.0
    TAA Robbo Digne Soy Montoya
    Salah Sterling Martial Ceballos Dendoncker
    Vardy Pukki Greenwood

    I want KDB but I have no idea how to get him in. Would be crazy to lose Vardy after this week...

    Any other suggestions?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Robbo downgrade, Martial to KDB?

  29. Licky
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Divock gonna bang one in now.

  30. NotNowKato
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Srs question.

    If Kane blanks tomorrow and I move out for Abraham, where would I best be placed spending the £4m difference with two free transfers?

    Current team is

    Heaton (Button)

    AWB, Zinchenko, VVD, Digne (Lundstram)
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell (Dendonker)
    Kane, Pukki (King)

    Im quite happy with my team and can't see any value is using the money to upgrade the subs, so Cantwell is possibly one to move.

    However, if I move him, I then have 8.6m for a replacement, but there's nothing in that price range that's really tearing it up.

    Any ideas? Just sit on the bank?

      Fix defence or Dendonker.
      Norwich probably blank vs City.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have the same dilemma.. either I upgrade Greenwood to Vardy or McGinn/Ceballos to KDB. Did that help?

    3. Playing_the_Numbers
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mount > KDB

      1. NotNowKato
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        It makes sense, but I hate to it!
