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.

    Good boy Mane!

    Poop save point 😎

      Yaaaas

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Nice

  3. Albrightondknight

    Og is a stupid call on first goal and I don't own TAA

    1. Canary_Kid
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      clearly took a big deflection...

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Did deflect. Probably wouldn’t be going in otherwise. Hence OG

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Keeper would have saved it otherwise.

      1. Ode
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Dumbest thing i’ve ever heard

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Don't think that's ever in consideration

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Agree man, clear goal

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      By FPL rules it wasn't a goal and I own TAA

      Do think they should go by the opta official ruling on who scored it , whoever that is . Would be weird one game giving him the goal when Trent gets it officially

  4. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Captain Trent. Fire and forget option

  5. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Not a gw for Raz Salah owners then.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Doesn’t appear so. Similar to GW2

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yep

    2. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      One bad week. 34 to go

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yep
        🙂

  6. Don Van Vliet
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ridiculous ruling on the Wood OG.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Agree with you mate

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      how. Wood deflection took it closer to goal, and even then it just squeaked in

    3. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah they couldn't alter the trajectory just to please you.

  7. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Am I the only one here who wants Pool to lose their CS?

    1. JayLegend
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, just you.

    2. Uncle Gamst
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Guess the answer might be yes 😉

    3. Artemis Titans
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      No

    4. BobbyV
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Me too...

    5. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A few Burnley fans may be with you on this.

  8. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    PL league between City and LFC. Think this can last 5 years longer?

  9. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I own Wood & TAA. What just happened. 🙁

    1. teddypicker
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      You get +1 overall, hope for more of the same in the second half

      1. Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Pope owner too.

        1. teddypicker
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Unfortunate then 😀

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Email sent to FPL Towers to correct the TAA goal. They have to prove it it wasn't going on target

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      A pair of eyes is all thats needed to prove it.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      relax.... they'll figure it out. An email is a little over the top

    3. Uncle Gamst
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Surely if they cant prove it was on target then it's an OG

  11. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    People have both Wood and TAA, is that goal or OG? 😉

    1. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Bloody hope it's not an OG.

  12. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Wood owners are UNLUCKY !!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      On my bench

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Good job bro

    2. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hi, Wood & TAA owner here.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Tough luck bro

  13. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Lots of kneejerking on the cards

    Can see loads shipping sterling and salah for kdb and mane only for them to haul next gw

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Unless you have all three.

  14. Billy Baroo
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Bobby Chompers being the best way into the Liverpool attack? Sure, he is more of a distributor, but seems like Mané/Salah is a bit all or nothing. His position on the field and relative price point gives a bit more budget flexibility with the squad.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      So go all in on mane or salah and stick with it

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I thought that last year towards the end of the season then he got injured.
      Trouble is Vardy is the same price as Frimino and Vardy is on pens

  15. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Can Liverpool lose their CS now instead of losing it in the 80s?

    1. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      They can if they don't invent a time machine

  16. Party time
    6 years, 11 months ago

    How is the template gw 4 wildcard looking??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Salah out Mane in

      Pukki out, too long now since a goal, Wood in for his goal.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Should I bother? Will change again next week 😉

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Average, isn't for one week anyway

  17. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Have baps been updates? Can soyuncu sneak 1 still?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      no

      1. SMOOTH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        No to which ?

  18. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    That cross was on target wasnt it?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      It was imo. Clearly was going on target

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Even if it was (it wasn’t) the key word is ‘cross’

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 11 months ago

          A cross that goes in isn't a goal?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Salah would have been on the end of it.

    3. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      The cross was on target to the penalty area where he aimed not the goal lol

  19. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Lol at people who think that wasn’t an OG. Seriously

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Banned

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      now owner by any chance?
      Westwood goal from the cross from corner kick last season vs LIV

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        non

  20. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    The only way to get the Sterling, Kun and Salah, Mane selection right is to own them all.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      And what about the rest of the team. Timing is everything

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      WC time

    3. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      and you would be dumb to not own kdb , which makes it impossible to own them all and get captaincy right.

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah. I'm Sterling (c) and Salah.

      2. nxh84
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        That make KDB the only safe captain choice. He’s delivering consistently over the 4 gws

  21. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ok I don’t care about Liverpool scoring anymore, just need my first pool CS after sticking with Robbo & VVD for 4 weeks

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Barnes will def score!

    2. Uncle Gamst
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I agree wholeheartedly

    3. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      robbo red card, VVD subbed off 85 mins, Barnes goal 90+4

  22. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Imagine all the Wood and Robbo owners out there since GW1. There are a few, the TAA Barnes owners laughing at them

  23. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Everyone WCs to Mane now.

    1. Party time
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hehehehe. Mané & £1 is the best business ever!

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah Sterling/Salah to Mane/KdB will be popular!

  24. jia you
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    ...and Wood was ripping up in pre-season, the poor Kiwi is having a horrible start!

  25. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Has Otamendi been called up by Argentina?

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Barnes stat padding

  27. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Barnes is getting shots away. He’s a great option

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Got him in this week. Lol.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        For Wood, no less. Phew.

      2. DAZZ
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Going forward it’s a good choice hazz, i’ll be jumping on him tonight if he makes it through unscathed, cant risk a Barnes rise/Adams drop.

  28. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ridiculous that goes down as an OG. The deflection may have foxed the keeper but it didn't alter the course

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Lol

      1. _Make
        • 9 Years

        No nay never

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Lol how does that work

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Hilarious 😀

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      The curl would have though.

  30. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Hodgson doesn't get enough credit. That Palace team is a wreck atm, and he's got them 7 points so far, and 4th place.

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Good point this, Ayew a wise pick up just before the season too
