There were no big surprises as the team sheets came out for Gameweek 5’s opening fixture between Tottenham and Liverpool.

Despite fears that Reds manager Jurgen Klopp would rotate some of his big hitting Fantasy Premier League options, Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) was the only one to drop out.

Naby Keita (£7.4m) comes in while Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£10.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) all kept their places in the starting XI.

As expected, Michel Vorm (£4.9m) comes in for the injured Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) while Harry Winks (£5.5m) gets the nod with Dele Alli (£9.1m) out with a knock.

There is unlikely to be much captain interest in this fixture with both Salah and Harry Kane (£12.5m) backed by under 6% in our most recent poll for the armband.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR XI (4-2-3-1): Vorm, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Winks, Eriksen, Lucas, Kane.

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

    1. hoganzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      As a Robbo owner with my main rival having TAA coming in off the bench, I am not a happy bunny.

  22. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      There was time to buy him?

    2. diesel001

      Agreed. Hopefully he gives me a nice parting gift today

  27. Viper
    • 15 Years

    So Mendy was out at the bar then

  28. tutankamun
    • 16 Years

    Zaha. Get in.

  29. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mendy rumour was true. Not saying I believed it but uncertainty around an extra player was part the reason I swapped Mkhi out. So thanks to who posted that link to the forum

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No problem 😉

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who did you go for ? Maddison ?

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

    I hope this site bans several well known contributors who insisted and abuse the people who leaked the Mendy benched story.....

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He's not benched

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Was it leaked?
