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.

        I'd like both but realistically it would mean Digne to a 4.6 and him and Alexander-Arnold are my only premium defenders. Don't really want to go to Trent and four cheapies.

            Cahill has had a MOTM performance, experience etc. Kelly a decent deputy but never 1st choice.

            I don't know 100% but Cahill likely to keep the place? Guess it half depends on how fit Tomkins is & who is the preferred partner anyway.

      Has there ever been 2 better players than Mo and Sadio who had this 'no passing to each other' issue? It's bizarre tbh. Am sure rivalry has a limit when you play for the same team.

        So can anyone actually answer the question?

        Let me ask it a little more precisely than last time.

        Is 13 winning league matches in a row Liverpool’s record since the formation of the premier league, or since the club was formed.

            Thanks Marcin, I realise that you did say that already, but assume now that you mean ‘all time’

              I agree it is quite surprising. Saying that I'm pretty sure back in the day teams would win the league having lost more games than you would think. You would need to fact check that though.

                  Huh? Why? All time means, literally "since the founding of the club to present". Premier League only records are for a short period of a few decades and should be viewed accordingly for context.

                    Because if we consider the PL to be a different competition to the old 1st division then, for instance Liverpool would have never won the league. Whereas if we don't then they have won it 18 times.

                      But its the truth!! "Liverpool have 18 titles, but none in the Premier League era." See? That fully describes their accomplishments and lack thereof, doesn't it?

                          I can see where people might get a little upset when saying, "Team X is garbage, they've never won anything!" to wind people up, without knowing the team's history (Team X won 3 titles in the 1930's!)...But, then again, that history is so long ago, that it matters little today, though still nice to have on the resume (even if it is a very long time ago).

                          Also when people say "never won the premier league". It's really the same competition they just changed the name and reduced the number of teams.

                Agreed. However, I’m a bit old school and a record should be a record, the premier league or old first division should be irrelevant. Only money wants to denote a premier league record.

                  Only to let people know that its a 'lesser' record (Prem only) as compared to All time, which is since the club has been playing competitively till today.

                    I’d rather they only stated absolute records. But in the context of where we have got to it would be churlish not to agree with you. Cheers.

                      Yeah, if anything Prem only records mean LESS than All Time records, for the most part (not in every case, of course). Another solution is to just say 1st Division/Prem as "the same thing", meaning the accomplishment (record) context means "top league in the nation".

          I agree with Maximus. Stick to a game plan. Sterling looks likely to play 90 mins in most games. He will score a lot more points.

          KDB taken off at 70 today and Kun will be rotated to some degree with Jesus when he Is back ( next game)
