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.

    RIP my season. Mane (c) useless. Mane has cost me so many points this season. Will be avoiding next year.

      6 years, 3 months ago

      Got him in on my FH to cap
      I’ve got Vardy, Bruno and Sterling to play and they’ll all outscored 2

    3. Old Gregg
      6 years, 3 months ago

    1. Rainer

  3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Get off the pitch Klopp you clown

    You’ve had enough decisions go your way this season

    Bench Salah next time - that result was your own fault

    1. El Presidente
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He can't otherwise Salah's tantrum

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Weak management - really needs to stop indulging him

        1. Utopsis
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Have you seen the league table?

    2. Coys96
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Well said

  4. El Presidente
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Salah is so overrated

    1. Party time
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Harsh on overrated

      1. riot

        This is why public opinion can't be taken seriously

    2. Magic Zico

    3. yakirh

    Dyche MOTS

    1. diesel001
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Steve Bruce, Brendan Rogers or Chris Wilder done better IMO.

      1. TheTinman
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Steve Bruce?!?!

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Rafa was praised for the job he did at Newcastle and Bruce is doing even better.

          1. TheTinman
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Rafa didn’t get as much money as Brucey. Different jobs

            1. diesel001
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Almiron was a Rafa signing.....

        2. diesel001
          6 years, 3 months ago

          LOL. You guys loving Rafa. Then Bruce does better and now Bruce is crap. Double standards and hypocrisy.

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        True, those 3 have done really well.

    1. FPL Pillars
      6 years, 3 months ago

      That guy is highest scorer this turn no doubt

    2. _Ninja_
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Just the 94 from 4 players. Suppose it'll do

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Just about beats my 3 from 2 players

      2. Elfozzie 42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        95 points surely?
        Ironically only blank was the £12.6M man!

        1. _Ninja_
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Ah yeah 95 i thought nico was only getting 2 bonus.

          Pulisic to tear it up now as well.

  8. HollywoodXI
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Salah and Mané non owner - relieved!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Well done

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Same. Very. Especially as my ML rival had captained Salah.

  9. DandyDon
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Better transfer for next two weeks (free hit 38)?
    A) VVD to Digne
    B) Salah to Antonio

  10. Threat Level Midnight
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Klopp to blame the reflection from the sun on the light fixtures in the stadium.

  11. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Thank god I didn't cap Salah

    1. GreennRed
      6 years, 3 months ago

      God. The person above. The big G 😉

      1. HashAttack
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Or Go ... er, you know that guy (as Biden says)

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 3 months ago

          The one we do not speak of

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah the guy with beard who has done so much good this year. :p

  12. Isco Disco
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Klopp is a fekn clown!
    Hope he doesn’t win a single game until the season ends.

  13. Coys96
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So annoyed I didn't go Salah to Sterling (c) now.

  14. Crouching Tiger
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Damn, this could be season defining for my ML. Salah(C), TAA, Van Dijk vs Bruno cappers... oh well, it was fun till it lasted. Captain fail is HUGE at this point of season.

  15. Jeremiah
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Salah owners keeping or shipping?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping of course

    2. Coys96
      6 years, 3 months ago

      The plan was to ship him. That confirms it

    3. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      FHing and seeing after that. Likely keeping, 2nd best player in the league and price not a concern

    4. Brosstan
      6 years, 3 months ago

      lol, imagine owning a 13m penalty merchant who never gets baps

  16. sminkypinky
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Right. Time for willian to shine. Unless he’s benched. I was out so dont know.

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Burnley overtake Spurs in the league to move 9th!

  18. Vazza
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I’m on 3 points from 3 players. At this rate, I am going to finish on 12 points this week..

  19. wantsharptv
    6 years, 3 months ago

    How did robertson not got bps?

    1. Alnair
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Burnley getting a goal they shouldn't have

    2. Holmes
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Neco early substitution

    3. Coys96
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Constantly moaning at referees

  20. Mweene
    6 years, 3 months ago

    TAA, Mane and Salah owner.

    Feel sick after that game - basically handed the money league over to my rivals.

    I hate Pope.

  21. sirmorbach
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Lads, what would you do with this lot and 2 ft?

    Patricio
    TAA / Doherty / Aurier/ Holgate / Lascelles
    Salah / KDB / Bruno / Mahrez / Pulisic
    Jiménez / DCL / Greenwood

    1. DMP
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Jimmy and DCL out.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Bring in Danny Ings for either DCL or Jimi.

    3. GreennRed
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Salah and Mahrez to Antonio and Willian.

      1. DMP
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Why Mahrez?

        1. GreennRed
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Good question. Whichever of him or KDB is least nailed on. If bith are then Calvert Lewin to Ings instead. Bit of a benching dilemma but better than none

  22. Pep bites Kun
    6 years, 3 months ago

    6 from 3 - what's the count?

  23. DMP
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Shipping Mane for Chelsea mid. No Pool until the end of season.

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      6 years, 3 months ago

      This. I'd get rid of TAA as well if there were any defenders that I actually want.

      1. DMP
        6 years, 3 months ago

        TAA gone on 31 WC to Aurier.

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I sold in GW30 then chickened out and brought him back in for 14 points GW31. Got me 3 points since then

  24. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Pope without the YC and with just 1 more save might have had 2-3bps right?

  25. Begbie.
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Is a transfer permanent after you use free hit? I wanna bring Ings in for Jimenez this week but also want to use FH this week. Not keen on then having to sign him *again* after FH and waste that GW's free transfer.

    1. Begbie.
      6 years, 3 months ago

      What I mean is if I make my transfer tonight then activate FH tomorrow, will it cancel out the FT I made before?

      1. Greek Freak
        6 years, 3 months ago

        If you play FH on GW36, your GW37 team will be exactly the same as your GW35 team.

      2. mgilbert86
        6 years, 3 months ago

        All transfer made before and after free hit applied go away

    2. Greek Freak
      6 years, 3 months ago

      You have to sign him again.

      1. Begbie.
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Okay cheers. That's really annoying.

    3. HashAttack
      6 years, 3 months ago

      FH will mean you get this week's team back ... you would not have Ings

  26. Kodap
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Salah owners...

    Keep or sell for Willian?

    1. Begbie.
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'm keeping for the rest of the season personally. Plus wouldn't be confident of Chelsea's strongest team playing midweek with the FA Cup semi looming. It's only Norwich after all.

      1. Kodap
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Will he start against Arsenal though?

      2. Utopsis
        6 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. mgilbert86
      6 years, 3 months ago

      yes or man city mid

  27. Alnair
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Burnley shouldn't have even gotten the FK for the goal. Liverpool got robbed.

    1. Von Lipwig
      6 years, 3 months ago

      weak sauce

  28. Vazza
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Salah and Mane are like kids in a playground.. if they actually play as team players, they can score 30 goals plus each season without a doubt

    1. diesel001
      6 years, 3 months ago

      *20 plus

  29. bench boost for every gamew…
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Ah, with vvd over taa that goal meant 6 point margin lost. Would have got 8 points as it stands. Damn annoying.
