Kostas Tsimikas (£4.0m) is handed a first-ever Premier League start as Norwich City v Liverpool brings a busy Saturday of top-flight football to a close.

Kick-off at Carrow Road is at 17:30 BST.

An ankle injury picked up by Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) in pre-season has opened up a spot at left-back for Tsimikas, with the budget Fantasy Premier League (FPL) defender’s ownership soaring to over 23% as a result.

There are no real shocks in the Liverpool line-up, with Diogo Jota (£7.5m) getting the nod over Roberto Firmino (£9.0m) to lead the visitors’ attack.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), FPL’s most-owned midfielder, and Sadio Mane (£12.0m) flank Jota up top.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) is part of a back four that includes Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m), who makes his first Liverpool appearance since suffering a knee ligament injury last October.

Jordan Henderson (£5.0m) and Thiago Alcantara (£5.5m) are both absent after late returns to pre-season training.

Budget FPL defender Andrew Omobamidele (£4.0m), who played every single minute of Norwich’s pre-season friendlies, misses out with tonsillitis tonight.

Daniel Farke has opted for a back four after a late dalliance with a wing-back system in pre-season.

Chelsea loanee and bargain-bin FPL midfielder Billy Gilmour (£4.5m) is handed his competitive Norwich debut.

  16. Pedersen

    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who would have thought that Pogba would rack up half of his season total assists in 1 game?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not me. Thought he would have been doing it at PSG tbh

    Tsimikas CBI must be high, with those clearances

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Mané passing to Salah all the time now!

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mane needs to start finding Jota with the crosses instead because Salah is wasting them.

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Got told off last season. Mended his ways 🙂

  19. La Roja

    Tskimiasinho is pretty clumsy lad

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      One of these right foot swing clearances is going past Alisson.

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Milner is past his prime. Should be subbed at half time

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ageist

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Milner YC, unlikely to be on the pitch for a late penalty...

  22. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago
