Champions League-chasing Liverpool up against Norris as injured Pope misses out

The final two matches of Gameweek 37 kick off concurrently at 20:15 BST this evening.

Liverpool are the main draw from a Fantasy perspective, with the most-captained player of this Gameweek set to face Burnley’s third-choice goalkeeper.

With Diogo Jota (£6.9m) injured, Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and his two usual compadres in the Reds’ attack start as expected this evening.

Jurgen Klopp has made just the one change from the last-gasp win at West Brom, with Curtis Jones (£4.4m) replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.3m).

Sean Dyche has made two tweaks to the side that lost 4-0 at home to Leeds United.

There’s a surprise between the posts, with Will Norris (£4.0m), not Bailey Peacock-Farrell (£4.0m), lining up in Nick Pope‘s (£5.5m) absence.

Norris’s only previous appearances in the Premier League came back in the 2018/19 season as a late substitute for Wolves.

The other change sees winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.4m) replace forward Matej Vydra (£4.8m), with Dyche seemingly adopting similar tactics to the ones he used against Manchester United.

There was originally just one change apiece at the Hawthorns, meanwhile.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) comes in for Grady Diangana (£5.0m) for the hosts, while Said Benrahma (£5.9m) replaces Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m) for the Hammers.

But there is a late change to the West Ham line-up as Darren Randolph (£4.3m) is in for the injured Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m) between the posts.


LINE-UPS

Burnley: Norris, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Gudmundsson, Wood.

West Ham United XI: Randolph, Cresswell, Coufal, Benrahma, Lingard, Dawson, Fornals, Ogbonna, Soucek, Antonio, Rice.

              Not really though, but some people get triggered for some
              Reason. If ya can’t complain here, then where can you, church?

                        That's where you're utterly deluded. The same things have been happening week in week out to most others. Chasing sympathy is not a good trait

                The point is that you always complain, thought that was pretty obvious by now.

          Siggy Dawson Rudiger

          My midfield was Harrison, Foden, Salah, Greenwood
          my defence was Digne, TAA, Dallas

  11. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I knew TAA had just been super lucky outscoring Philips for the last 36 weeks. Finally regression to the mean

  12. Botman and Robben

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

  22. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is Phillip's good then? Or just good for FPL?

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He's much better than everyone makes out.

  23. HollywoodXI

      Sold Watkins for Antonio (easier fixture, lol!). Jorginho and Rudiger laughing at me from my bench.

      Them two nearly scored as much as the rest of my team combined.

      Sums up this season of FPL, really.

    Bruno my highest scoring player this week with 4... Captaining him wasn't as bad as I thought yesterday.

      I couldn't work out how I'd gone to 37...thought there's been a Lingard assy that hadn't updated on the scores. Delighted!!

    Could do with a Bruno-esque assist for Salah.

    21 points all out so far, worst gameweek of season by far, is my team that bad lol?

    Lloris
    TAA Dallas Shaw
    Salah Bruno Son Pereira
    Kane DCL
    Henderson Nacho Coufal Ward

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years

      Be thankful for the lucky Periera points

    2. diesel001

      Lloris and Henderson seems a poor combo tbh. Otherwise looks like a standard team.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That was a WC decision to cover the blanks with Lloris and triple with Hendo which didn't go well lol

      Sell Bruno for Mane.

        This season has been insane, normally it swings from good to bad every few weeks but I've been stuck on bad for months

          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago
