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.

    On FH next week would you rather Willian + Pulisic double up or Pulisic + Antonio?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Chelsea double up

    2. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      all 3

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

        That would mean going without Bruno and a City midfield double which I don't really like the idea of

    Bardsley denying Pope save point

    If you activate free hit, take a player out of your team, then later in the same week (ie while free hit is still active) change your mind and put the player back in, do you get him back for the same amount you got for selling him or do you have to pay the full market price? Thanks!

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Full price

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

        Thanks mate

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

      Full market price. You sold them and replaced them with another player.

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

        Thought so but wasn't sure. Thanks mate!

    Did a deadline day transfer from Son to Antonio, and went all the way with captaining him! Normally the impulsive last minute transfers never work out... but today was different 🙂

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Nice one.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

      Ok

      1. JONALDINHO

        What you so negative for? Fair play to the lad

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years

      How do you walk with balls that big?

      amazing mate! well done

  5. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Jones looking essential

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

    Salah not used to passing.

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

    Salah rathter give GK than pass to Mane

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      As usual

  8. N00B
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    How is Salah looking? I cant watch the game but I expect the same score as Antonio did today.

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

      Used up all his points last GW.

    2. Tempestic
      • 8 Years

        Villa

      Could’ve had two by now

    5. Vazza
      • 6 Years

      Starving

    6. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years

      One chance, wasteful as always otherwise

    7. N00B

      Thanks for answers guys!

  9. Party time

    By now Greenwood would have scored

      This n

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Play Lascelles vs TOT(H) or one of Stevens/Egan vs LEI(A)?

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

      Well Lascelles went off injured

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Damn! :/

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

        Don’t think he was injured

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

          Was he not? Fair enough

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

            Nah, I was closely listening to the commentary.

            1. Pep Roulette
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 15 days ago

              Cheers mate

                • 6 Years
                6 years, 15 days ago

                It’s cool. Are you starting Foden later?

      3. WVA
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Again!?

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

      Difficult because spurs suck but sheffield with the better defence. Hmmm. Go for Egan.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 15 days ago

        Cheers

  11. Hazz

    Roman y u no putting a bid in for Nick Pope.

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

      Because he wants Ramsdale

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Very different playing for a big club that plays open expansive football compared with ultra defensive Burnley

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Rubbish distribution means he probably won't get a chance at bigger clubs

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

      I am (half) kidding guys. He is tall & can save shots - two things Kepa lacks in.

      He's also not young and contracted up, so doesn't really fit our transfer policy of late.

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

    Oh shucks.

    TAA benched means Taylor gonna come off and I’d have double Burnley defence and no Pool attackers.

    A clean sheet here would be perfect!

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      I'd expect TAA to come on at some point.

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

      Yeh taa probably get a cameo

    3. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      taa will play

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

      Trent will be on if the Burnley CS is alive.

  13. Chandler Bing
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Hoping for TAA no show

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

    This Jones kid is S**t

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Very quick to write people off

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Never watched footie before have you?

  15. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Kiko in if TAA no minutes. Whats the chance TAA stay on bench?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      0%

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Hoping for the same but looks extremely unlikely now.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 15 days ago

      If they're winning comfortable he might stay off

    4. Playing_the_Numbers
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      probably about 60%

    5. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      I think slim. All the big players for liv and mci have been coming on for last 30 mins.

  16. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Getting Lascelles in for TAA, hope he stays on the bench!

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

    LOL. Burnley got a fungal problem in their pitch.

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      It's Anfield

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

    Who’s looking better so far -

    A. Mane
    B. Salah

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Salah a little bit more lively

  19. mucka
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    I have 2 free transfers this week.

    I'm planning on free hitting this week. Will my 2 free transfers roll when my team reverts back the week after?

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Nope. You lose 1 (from experience)

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

      Nope. 1 FT only

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Alonso looks an amazing pick if he starts against Norwich!

  21. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Burnley is just horrible. Medieval tactics awful footbal

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

      Awh because they won’t let Salah score 4 goals?

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

    No chance of a Burnley goal today. Strikers are too slow so easy for full-backs to recover if CBs get exposed.

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Corners are the answer

  23. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    How does it work if Trent is in your starting 11, liverpool concede but he's not on the pitch, then he comes on.. does he get a clean sheet bonus if it was to end like 3-1? Liverpool (but the goal was scored before he was on the pitch)

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Only if he comes on before 30' and the goal was scored already, which can't happen now

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

      Only if he came on before 30 mins. No CS point possible for him now.

    3. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      He needs to play 60 mins. That time has passed now. But if he had come on pre 30 and they were 1 down already and didn't concede more he'd get the clean sheet

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 15 days ago

      Needs to play 60 mins

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

      He's not getting 60 mins anyhow

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

    Mane & Salah sooooooo narrow.

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

      Usually good for them though. Because they play in that inside channel they get lots of shots than if they were wider. Width has to come from Williams and Robertson.

  25. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Pope: 3

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

    Save point.

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

    Pope keeping a CS isn't he :/?? Why did I bench him -_-.

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

      Praise the Lord, we've been saved!

  28. CheesyZoot

    6 years, 15 days ago

    People still looking at FH 36 opposed to 38?

    I personally think there are juicier fixtures to attack on 36, plus by 38, most teams probably either already relegated or had places cemented.

    Could be convinced otherwise is someone has any reasons for 38...

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

      I was gw38 but decided to go into Manchester City B team for gw36

      David Silva over KdB.

      Ship Mahrez.

      Don't get Sterling.

      Maybe keep Foden etc...

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

        Really thinking D Silva over KDB for GW36?

        Bold but could pay off

  29. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    Huge miss Salah

  30. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 15 days ago

    How many other Pope owners kept the faith? Dare we dream?

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

      1.0?
