Jurgen Klopp has engaged in some more late-season rotation, causing issues for Fantasy managers once again.

After Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) was benched at Brighton so Neco Williams (£4.0m) could get a first Premier League start, it is Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) who has made way for him at Anfield.

The young full-back is capable of playing on both sides of the defence, operating at left-back at the Amex Stadium but handed a start on the right-hand side today.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) owners will be happy to see him survive the latest shuffling of the Liverpool pack as some had feared he might get the same treatment as Sadio Mané (£12.3m) did midweek.

But the two premium midfielders are both in the team today, stationed in their usual roles either side of Roberto Firmino (£9.4m).

With Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) out for the remainder of the Premier League season, Klopp has taken the opportunity to offer a start in midfield to Curtis Jones (£4.5m).

The youngster is joined there by the more experienced Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.4m) and Fabinho (£5.4m).

Burnley line-up in their traditional 4-4-2 shape, with Erik Pieters (£4.2m) in midfield and Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) joined up-front by Chris Wood (£6.1m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, N Williams; C Jones, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Tarkowski, K Long, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Pieters; Wood, Rodriguez.

    Don't own Pope but I'd love him to haul today.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      surely not again!

  2. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Just know that the one game you actually need Pope to do something he will have a stinker. Salah hat trick confirmed...

    I noticed always when i try to play safer i get punished

    Lesson learned

    1. Weasel Boy

      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Same

    2. Clintymints

      Tell me about it.

  4. Niho992

    Easily see that Lamps will rest Pulisic vs Norwich

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      probably.
      Would make a great TC

  5. Jafooli

    Am hearing that Antonio was ineligible to play vs his parent club and his points might not count. Anyone confirm this?

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Lol

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Mark Sutherns doesn't own him so there's a good chance.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        He does own Antonio.

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Mark Sutherns does own him though.......

        1. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years

      You are definitely bored.

    Just leaving this here if anyone wants to bookmark it and lol @ me later:

    I sold Salah for -8.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      was it for Antonio though!?

      1. Greek Freak
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Haha no, it was for Mane.

      2. Chemical76
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        So pleased to have Antonio.....

        ....in my Draft team....

        ....on the bench

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      I'll be back in 2 hours to do a Nelson Muntz "ha-ha"

  7. Revival

    need a Pope mastersclass today now!

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Pope penalty save from Salah would be legendary this GW

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      We don't get penos

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        The sh*te have had 5 this season, which is the sixth highest in the league.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      I benched Pope and have Salah so I hope for the opposite

    3. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Yes please

  9. Threat Level Midnight
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Salah blank incoming.

    Return of the fraud

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      can't see it

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      His numbers suggest he's the best wide forward in PL history.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Ronaldo and Bale would argue that.

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Ronaldo 84G 34A in 196 games
        Bale 42G 20A in 146 games
        Salah* 75G 28A in 118 games

        *including Chelsea.

        1. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 15 days ago

          Wow. Some impressive numbers there for Mo.

      3. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        To even post that is embarrassing.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 15 days ago

          Back up your opinion with numbers then we can discuss. Throwing childish statements and not backing up anything you say then getting wound up when you get called out seems to be your style.

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 15 days ago

            Childish statements? Lol

            The truth hurts, I get it. You’re on this form defending a team that just won’t the Champions league and the Prem. Never seen anything like it.

  10. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Need Burnley to score today

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      So so so much this

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    No Trent, Henderson or Keita. Liverpool might struggle for creativity today against an already defensively sound Burnley.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Are Burnley defensively sound? I thought Pope just saved all the big chances they give away!

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Burnley always bend over for the big boys.

    3. Tempestic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      We need an early goal for the game to open up. I agree it could be tight otherwise

    4. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Need at least one of Keita or TAA playing.

      1. Tempestic
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        See how Curtis does I suppose

      2. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Imagine hating on Pogba a few days ago then saying you need Keira playing. Hahahahahaha

        Keita is trash

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 15 days ago

          How old are you mate?

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 15 days ago

            Shhhhhh

        2. Tempestic
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 15 days ago

          He really isnt just hasnt been given enough game time up until recently.
          No ones arguing Pogba isnt a world class player

        3. Champions League Varane
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 15 days ago

          Agreed ahaha

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 15 days ago

            It’s amazing isn’t it? Wait till one of—if not both—Mane/Salah leave then its back to irrelevancy where they belong. Lol

            1. Davido989
              • 15 Years
              6 years, 15 days ago

              Salah's a fraud yet Liverpool will collapse when he leaves

              Logic?

              1. Threat Level Midnight
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 15 days ago

                Do the math and get back to me after his 2pter

        4. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 15 days ago

          All I said is Pogba isn't the best midfielder in the world.

          Which everyone apart from deluded United fans like yourself, agrees with.

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 15 days ago

            I never, ever said he was even close to the best midfielder in the world. Don’t get salty now.

            You spend 80% of your time on here defending the team that won the UCL last year and Prem this year. Expect to get trolled regularly.

          2. tokara
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 15 days ago

            As a united fan i agree w u but Pogba has marketing potential a nd a complete midfielder

          3. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 15 days ago

            Imagine needing to DEFEND that. WOW

  12. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Dear Mr Dyche.

    Please score today and keep Manè quiet.

    Thank you.

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Thisssss

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Asking for a bit there. I don't think Dyche is quite fit enough to both score and defend against Mane.

    3. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Tough task for a 49 years old to both score & defend

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Lol

  13. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    I would have TCd Salah had I thought he was gonna start.

    Sh**e

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      KDB vs Norwich in 38

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        If he starts

  14. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    wow congratulations to Antonio owners

    1. abaalan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Lol last sentence

  15. dshv
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    For next week

    Mane to sterling
    Jimenez to ings

    Both for -4 ????

  16. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    I'd take Salah returning 10pts right now as a non-owner

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Same here happily

  17. Tempestic
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Antonio for the golden boot

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      With 8 goals XD

  18. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    From 30k to 15k with one player, this GW can end now

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1152764/event/44

      77k > 7k

      (Not me btw.)

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Shhhiiii

  19. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Please please no Salah haul

  20. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Triple chelsea here I come

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Alonso (c)

    2. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Azpi Will Puli. May use FH

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Do it... And pick wise with Man City players!

  21. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Wow 4 goals Antonio. How is it possible, he's krap

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Norwich even more krap..
      Losing 4-0 at home vs a West Ham team lead by Moyes.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Playing against a Norwich defence!

  22. Captain_Shirokov
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Think it'll be another Salah field day.

  23. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Captained Vardy over Salah.

    Sofa?

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      No risk, no reward

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Still comfortable since rivals all did the same with the armband and none have Mo anyway

  24. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    I'm pretty sure anyone who transfered Antonio in and tc'd him is the best FPL move I've ever seen in 13 years

  25. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    David Silva C vs Norwich last game of season?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Triple!!

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Definitely. It's not a choice, it's respect for a hero!

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Hmm seems a nice differential. Will probably play because last game in premier league for him ever.

  26. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    So assuming Man City rest many players for the away game at Arsenal in the FA Cup 3 days after gw36....

    Then free hit into David Silva and Man City squad players is the best time to use Free Hit?

    Not on GW38 leaked team sheets?

    That also gives you Chelsea home to Norwich and Everton defence.

    Sorted.

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      I think so. I feel that whatever I do on a FH based on logic that it ends badly and half the 11 dont start

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      i'd rather use it 38

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Does that mean you don't mind Sterling or KdB being benched midweek?

  27. kamdaraji
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    do players get - points for conceding a penalty?

    1. Captain_Shirokov
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      no but they should

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        this

  28. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    dont even know who to kick out from my team for another chelsea attacker.

    crazy to kick out city players or Bruno. And kicking out Salah can also backfire quickly as well.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Jiminez and Grealish

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      This. I have Jimenez who is going to be on my bench and my other 7 attackers are Man U, Man C and Liverpool players. Massive dilemma!

  29. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Haven't even had a player play yet but I have a very ominous feeling about this gameweek

  30. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Got Salah , but hiding from Mane
