Gameweek 4 continues with Leeds United hosting Liverpool at Elland Road.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

For Leeds, new signing Daniel James (£6.0m) is on the bench, but Raphinha (£6.5m) starts after his ban for not being released to the Brazil squad was lifted.

Stuart Dallas (£5.5m) also features despite withdrawing from international duty, while Junior Firpo (£4.8m) has recovered from COVID-19 and replaces Pascal Struijk (£4.4m) in the starting XI.

As expected, Liverpool are without the injured Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) but Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Harvey Elliot (£5.5m) are fit.

Diogo Jota (£7.7m) starts in attack, while Thiago (£5.4m) replaces Jordan Henderson (£5.0m), who drops to the bench.

GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Leeds XI: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Firpo, Phillips, Dallas, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford

Subs: Klaesson, Struijk, Cresswell, Shackleton, Klich, Summerville, James, McCarron, Roberts

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliot, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Gomez, Tsimikas, Milner, Henderson, Keita, Jones, Oxlade-Chamberlain

    Not sure if anyone has noticed but Jota has been on the left quite alot. Wonder when Firmino is back whether he comes in for Mane.

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Think it's mostly a confidence issue for Mané. Once he gets over that hump there will be a ketchup effect. May take a while though.

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hadn't I'll admit.. I'll pay more attention 2nd half

  2. rozzo

    What gamesweek do you think it will be when people stop saying Raphina is a 200 pointer a season?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Doesn't need to be a 200 pointer for a 6?5

    2. Glad He Ate Her
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      37

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who thinks he's a 200 point player?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I’ve seen it on here tbf, just multiplying last years score by minutes I think

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 11 months ago

          That would be 180ish IF he played all 38 games which he most likely won't but at 6.5 he's underpriced imo

          1. Rainer
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Still a great option. A more composed Rodrigo finish for his assist and he's returned in a tough game with a great run to come...

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 11 months ago

              For sure, don't think he's leaving my team for a long time

          2. SADIO SANÉ
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Don’t disagree, just saying he wasn’t making that up

        2. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Time to buy Eduoard!

        3. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          literally have never seen that narrative anywhere

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            100% seen it - I could probably find it but not sure I can be bothered

          2. Zalk
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            He must have made it up then!

      2. Flair
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Absolutely nobody.

    4. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Raphina can get 200pts, it'll just take him 2-3 seasons.

    5. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Should have had an assist tbf

    6. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Raph certainly is not a 200 point player. 160 will be a good season for him

  3. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is this team g2g? Hits needed?
    Sanchez
    Williams white digne marcal
    Salah jota forres sarr
    Ronaldo lukaku

    1. Glad He Ate Her
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      RIP that defense

    2. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I've toyed with it myself but really not sure about big 3

    3. Khark
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Trent is a must.

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      That defence is criminal, but you just might get away with it this week.

  4. ace3.1415
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Antonio to bamford or calvert-lewin?

    1. Khark
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Same dilemma. Im thinking hold might be the right play. He only misses one gameweek against man united

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Can you wait until tomorrow? See how DCL plays

    3. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It's very close. Similar price, fixtures, ownership and both on penalties. I think DCL just edges it because Everton play to his strengths.

  5. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Salah gets stick for being too selfish but I've always thought Mané is even more selfish.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      hes trying really hard to break his poor form for the past season now

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      They both are

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Mane is way more selfish, he just has tantrums when people don't pass him which sticks in people's minds. Salah is a goalscoring and creative monster for Liverpool

  6. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How many points would you say a WC is worth? I just blew mine completely - will end up only doing minor changes. Even considering keeping Antonio, lol

    1. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You profile link team haven't played a WC

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe he just activated it

      2. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        It shouldn't show up if it's live, this upcoming GW, right?

        1. Zalk
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Right, I miss read it.

    2. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Shaw, Coufal, Dennis and Toney you could replace for eg. Chelsea def, Wolves def, 4.5 and 7.5 forward?

  7. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best 6.6m or below mid excluding Raphinha?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Saka

    2. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Gallagher

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sarr/Traoré short term.

    4. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Trincão

  8. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Those without TAA a bit nervous?

    1. rozzo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Those without TAA are playing the wrong game

    2. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You should be. One of the league's best midfielders with clean sheets pts

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Can’t imagine many on here don’t have him tbh

      1. Rassi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        And some don't have Salah, Ronaldo etc.

        There is always someone "who can't believe".

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Fair point, that was just me being stupid and patient with Kane

    4. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Not with Elliott starting.

    5. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nope not really. 2 defenders for near the price of TAA given me double his points this gw. Just need a Leeds goal to compound this 🙂

      1. Zalk
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Can you give the name of that 3m defender please!

    6. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      These posts are just stupid.

      (I have TAA)

    7. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You should be nervous Tsimikas comes on

  9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    What about this? Has a bit of everything in there:

    Sanchez
    Trent | Shaw | Marcal
    Salah | Torres | Raphinha | Sarr | Gallagher
    Ronaldo | Lukaku

    Steele | Livramento | Williams | Scarlett

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      We're all trying to shoehorn Ronaldo and Lukaku into the same team mate. One or the other is better. The sooner you come to terms with it the better.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I think my team looks great with both. Scoring well too 🙂

        His doens't look too bad either

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I’d be inclined to agree, but the team above is the first I’ve drafted that I like the look of that has all 3 but still seems fairly strong everywhere

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I'll agree it's pretty good. Not for me I don't think though.

      3. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Happy with both thanks.

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Beautiful, shame I've wasted my WC already, to be fair they'd all blank anyway if I did it

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I have too, sod it, hits galore!

        1. WVA
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          You know full well the players you take out for a hit will score

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            This is what I’m trying to prove by doing it lol

    3. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Great team.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheere

    4. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      looks good

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

    5. rozzo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You're missing the leagues 2 best defences and have a lower midtable midfield

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Would love Cancelo/Alonso/James yes.
        Currently have Alonso

  10. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Keep Benrahma and Antonio?

    Or bench Antonio and get Marcal in this week?

  11. Gunneryank
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I hope Klopp is berating them for being so wasteful right now.

  12. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How does this WC team look?

    Sanchez (Steer)
    TAA Shaw Marcal (Williams Livramento)
    Salah Torres Benrahma Raphinha Gray
    Ronaldo Lukaku (Locadia)
    0 itb

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Have built pretty much the same above, with Sarr/Gallagher over Benrahma/Gray basically.

      I like it

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What makes you prefer Sarr and Gallagher?

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I already have Sarr, and watching Gallagher yesterday I was very impressed

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      You don't want Benrahma on a WC, trust me I made that mistake

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Idl Benrahma. Prefer Gallagher to Gray, Jota to Torres. otherwise looks good.

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I am thinking Pogba instead of Raphina...

  14. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is it possible to have taa salah lukaku and Ronaldo?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    2. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why don't you find out by yourself?

    3. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Course it is. If you don't mind the rest of your team being trash

    4. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Tried it but it's too unbalanced. I like to have 15 starting players.

    5. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      + Son

    6. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Loads of teams have them already - usually via a wildcard.

    7. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If you accept a load of 5.5 mids or play 4 at the back

    8. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes you just have to pick them

    9. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      if i swap Bruno for a 5.1, yes

    10. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes I have all of them and my team looks fine. None of this imbalanced crap

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        show team pls

        1. Arvin-ation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Sanchez (4.0)
          TAA Shaw Coady Christensen (Duffy)
          Salah Jota Raphina Trincao (4.5)
          Ronaldo Lukaku (4.5)

          On 81 points atm and up 500k!

          Think you could swap Christensen and Trincao for Rudiger and Gallagher and would look much better. I'm happy with the team otherwise. Shaw will go for James soon for me

    11. kUwe Inc.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Taa coufal duffy livra 4.5
      Salah benrahma gray kovacic gallagher
      Ronaldo lukaku antonio

      How you rate this team?

    12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      Yes see above

    4 years, 11 months ago

    Option 1
    Mendy - Ramsdale

    Jota - Greenwood - Gray - Benrahma - Gallagher
    Ronaldo - Lukaku - Antonio

    Option 2
    Sanchez - Ramsdale

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Just want to comment that if you have Mendy, you do not need Ramsdale as a 4.0m.

      If you really want to get a 4.5m GK for the odd game where Kepa may come in, it is still quite early to know if Ramsdale is truly nailed.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        *as a 4.5m GK. Get a cheapie.

      2. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        that's true, if you have Mendy you just won't rotate him. Could easily save up 0.5m

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ronaldo over Salah is crazy

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        why?

  16. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    LEE gonna tighten up 2nd half...

  17. BIGREDDOG
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Just saw the attemp from Rodrigo.. shocker!

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Attempt*

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yea would've been Raphinha assist too

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      This is why Raphinha's xA shouldn't be given so much weight. His team mates can't finish.

  18. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Mo Salah!

  19. Atimis
    • 9 Years

    Early thoughts? 1FT 1ITB, will (c) Salah next GW.

    1) Antonio to Bam, 352
    2) Tsim to Wolves def, 451
    3) Tsim Greenwood/Bruno to Wolves def Jota -4, 451
    4) Antonio to Jim, 352

    Ofc will be waiting until the midweek games are over.
    Thinking it might be a good time to lose Antonio as WH will be playing every 3 days for next 2-3 weeks.

    Gallagher or Edouard??

    Think both will score well but who’s the better option

      FWD slot too precious. Gallagher

    Cooper is a huge liability for Leeds. I know he is their captain and got them promoted, but he's just not good enough at this level. On a yellow card already, I'll be surprised if he makes it through the whole game. And you just know that Liverpool are gonna exploit that weakness and have all their front 3 running at him as often as possible.

      Koch is problematic too. If Llorente is out for games, it's not good for owners of any Leeds defender.

    Mane definitely wants to avoid giving pts to Jota

    1. WVA

      The whole world will be against Jota while he's a dif in my league
