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.

      +12 last weekend, - 2 this week.

      1 million less isn't enough!

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        -10 the week before

      2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Depends what you do with that 1m. I did VVD > taa and got Haller for king

  3. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tut Alexander Arnold is a problem

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He is a beast. FPL points magnet...

  4. LSK
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I have Laporte and AWB, 1 free transfer and 0 in the bank. Might as well just take a hit for Trent, right? (No Liverpool defence).

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

      TAA is gold

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That is why if you had him from the start and got rid of him, you will pay dearly to get him back 🙂

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yes. im going to upgrade Laporte to TAA for next GW. 3 points in 3 GWs for 6.5mil, bloody hell

  5. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If there's any game to rest Trent, its away in Napoli between Newcastle & Chelsea.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He'll be rested vs newcaslte

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No chance (non owner)

      2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He will never be rested against weak opposition

  6. Up the tics
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope - 4.5
    Digne - VVD - AWB - Kelly - Lundstram
    Sterling - KDB - Mane - Mcginn - Mount
    Pukki - Barnes - 4.5

    Team looks fine but team isnt scoring points

    A. AWB >> TAA/Robbo
    B. Barnes >> Tammy or Haller
    C. Save.
    D. Other

  7. DVassell
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A or B?

    A)braham + Ceballos
    B)arnes + Mount

  8. Ozzy smith
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Any suggestions? I have no idea what move to make here. 0.2itb, 2FT, wc available.

    Heaton
    Robbo VVD Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Pukki Barnes
    (Button Greenwood Dendon Lunds)

  9. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pukki and Mount > Wilson and 4.5 mid(hayden) worth -4??

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

      Lol what

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Getting rid of Sir Teemu Pukki :O

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No brainer.

  10. An Púca
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mané drops out of the top 5 for BAPS!

    1. Aurora
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ik seems odd to me. Just cos he was subbed?? Kelly was subbed on 78mins for palace today and doesn’t seem to feature near any other palace defenders for bonus points. Is that something that happens?

  11. ManofKent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Disappointing but not disasterous week for me - 44 + bonus + Digne

    Main concern is Laporte. Looks long term to me - best replacement for 6.8?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Digne, VVD, Otamendi,

  12. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    When do stat tables/player stats update in members area?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Should already be.

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ty

  13. Yome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    That is why you need both in your team, one week Salah does better, one week mane hauls, or sometimes they both haul at the same time!!!

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero hauls every week

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Til he breaks his leg

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Then u simply sell him

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      and the defenders are also pretty epic

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

      Would rather go with sterling and kun than those two

    4. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No because you'll captain the wrong one every time

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I didn’t say you would captain them, still have sterling in my midfield

    5. Thunder Warrior
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You can’t have them all

  14. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Not bad from the Scout Picks so far this GW. Digne still to play.

  15. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    All of a sudden Liverpool defence are back on the menu? Newcastle home i see? Eat your hearts out Trent and Robbo

  16. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Worth a hit?

    Kane, Perez -> Aguero, James?

    1. An Púca
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would but wait to see Kane tomorrow

  17. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How did mount look today?

  18. HamezMace
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Was all set to WC after GW4, but now I'm not sure I really want to, how many obvious changes do I need to make?

    Pope (Button)
    TAA - Digne - Montoya - Soyunca - Lundstram
    Salah - KdB - Martial - Perez - Dendonker
    Kane - Abraham - Pukki

    1ft 0.1m itb.

    I was thinking Perez needed to go, and I was going to look at a restructure to get Sterling in, probably involving losing Kane, but it doesn't look so easy, and Kane has Palace at home next too.

  19. Aurora
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Callum Wilson getting 5 points in every match so far is very meh

    1. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah for his price it's pretty meh

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Averaging 190 for the season

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not really. 5 x 32 games (assuming he misses a few) = 160 pts. That is alright for an 8.0m

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No u want to maximize the points. If ppl wasn't allowed transfers it would work but not in this case

  20. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tough choice..?

    A. Tammy
    B. Callum

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

      Tammyyyy

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Is he nailed now? Imagine Wilson’s points when Bournemouth find a semblance of form though..

    2. RyanKent14
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think Tammy is a good pick

  21. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Laporte to Robbo yes or no?
    Have TAA

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      for sure

    2. QueefParkRangers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Na VVD plus cash

      1. RyanKent14
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Is Laporte a bad 1? I just got him in this week

  22. BadaBing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who to bring in for Rashford?

    Vardy
    Tammy
    Haller

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

      Hall

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy if you don't need the extra cash. Best team, best player out of those 3

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Haller as his fixtures are good. Vardy horrible fixtures

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Manchester and Tottenham are not bad fixtures for forwards.

  23. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How is it looking everyone? 57 after bps. But only Maitland left to play. Brought in kdb and Haller on 2ft. Hayden 6 points unexpected. Sterling captain fail.

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      37 with 3 left

    2. Aurora
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      77 after bps. Captained Kun

      1. Regin
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Wow man. Even I wanted to put in kun and captain but thought kdb better long term option

      2. norab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        61 with Digne left

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      44(-4)

      Digne, Son & Siggy.

  24. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Don't really want to lose them, but Wilson&Trossard -> Ayew&KDB gives me:
    Heaton
    TAA VVD Montoya Lundstram (Kelly)
    Salah Sterling KDB Martial (Cantwell)
    Haller Pukki (Ayew)

    Pull the trigger?

  25. norab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    How many points we on chaps?

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

      38 with digne

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      57 after baps

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      46 after bps and took a -4... ouch

      1. norab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm on 61 with Digne left. Thought we'd be a little higher around these parts.

      2. RyanKent14
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        66 after baps but -12 aahhh, it did work out though

  26. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which out of these is the best option, not saying I’m gonna do it right now

    A) King / Robbo —-> Kelly & Firmino (-4)

    B) Wickham / Robbo —-> Leicester 4.5 def & Abraham (-4)

    C) Robbo —-> Trent (free)

  27. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane -baps for tantrums
    😛

    1. Wally711
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      When do bps get adjusted

  28. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane have every right to be angry, Salah won't pass to anybody at all

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If you watch the replay and Salah's response to Mane it's clear that Salah thought Mane was in an offside position.

  29. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bloody hell VVD is massive isn't he!

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      He is. And so highly owned.

  30. NejiHyuuga01
