Fantasy managers spared pains of Liverpool rotation at Leicester

Fantasy Premier League managers have been spared the pains of Jurgen Klopp’s rotation for the first fixture of Gameweek 4.

After promising that unchanged line-ups would soon be a thing of the past at Liverpool, Klopp has made just one alteration to the side that beat Brighton in Gameweek 3.

New signing Naby Keita (£7.5m) drops to the bench to allow club captain Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) to come back into the starting line-up.

The headline Fantasy options Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£9.9m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.1m) have all kept their places.

The Reds remain heavily backed in this fixture with Salah still in 55 percent of teams, Mané in 37 percent and Robertson in 21 percent.

As a whole, the Liverpool defence is still popular for this trip to the King Power Stadium with Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) in 18 percent of squads and 17 percent invested in Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m).

It appears that Demarai Gray (£5.5m) is leading the Leicester line in the absence of Jamie Vardy (£8.9m). Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.0m) drops to the bench.

Ricardo Pereira (£5.0m) has earned plenty of attention for playing in attacking midfield twice so far this season but he is deployed at right-back for this one.

LEICESTER CITY XI (4-4-1-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Morgan, Maguire, Pereira, Ghezzal, Ndidi, Mendy, Albrighton; Maddison; Gray.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold: Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      How did he fail to score it, never mind touch it?

    I've got the feeling that the chip last time around was a bit lucky, now...

    Alisson is no Ederson.

    That should keep Pool fans quiet for a while now. 😀

  7. diesel001

    Ederson > Allison

    Well that’s the last time he does that!

    1. Berbalove
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't Allison just say that he knew when to kick the ball away instead of dribbling?

  10. Top Lad Dakes.

    Effing clown.

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    He chipped it over someone in his own half versus brighton too, bit of maniac this lad

      This. Saw that coming. Way too flashy

  14. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    New Karius

  15. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Should be Maddison assist, no?

  16. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Karius lives

  17. sambyy
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    They should take Alisson off, concussions are no joke.

  18. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    God, I’ve been saying get Ghezzal in for literally 20 minutes.

    So ahead of the curve.

    1. Dyballer
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Was thinking about him too since the league cup win but would never have gotten him for this match. At least it should make him a bit more nailed now. Problem is now, should I get Fraser or Ghezzal?

  19. Sasquatch Slayer
