Key FPL assets all start as Burnley face Liverpool

The eighth and final Premier League match of a busy Saturday kicks off at 17:30 BST, with Liverpool the visitors to Turf Moor.

The team news is very straightforward as there is just one change to the starting XIs in all: Aaron Lennon (£4.9m) replacing the injured Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£6.0m) on the right flank for Burnley.

Jurgen Klopp names the same 11 players who lined up for the victory over Arsenal last Saturday.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is the second-most-captained player of Gameweek 4, having been handed the armband by over one million FPL managers.

Liverpool put seven goals past the Clarets in their two meetings last season, with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) scoring three of them.

The Reds are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Sean Dyche’s side recorded a shut-out in their only previous home league game this season: against Southampton in Gameweek 1.

Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) has scored in each of his three league appearances this season and was bought by over 250,000 Fantasy bosses in the build-up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) was the second-most-sold defender of this current Gameweek, having been offloaded by over 190,000 FPL managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Lennon, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Barnes, Wood.

Liverpool XI: Adrían; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mané, Firmino.

    Salah shot saved on to the post

      FPL not awarding Pope a save there?

      1. diesel001

        4 years, 7 months ago

        Even Sky saying he got a touch on it after looking at the replays.

    Now that Sakho is back for palace is Kelly’s time up at CB?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Possibly. But if Hodgson changes it up does it reduce their defensive solidity?

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Isn’t Kelly a natural RB? And Sakho a natural CB

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They are doing well, I doubt Sakho will walk in easily

    Why do keepers never wear caps anymore?

    1. have you seen cyan

    2. Pukki Blinders

          This would offer protection whilst still maintaining style, and showcasing newest hair fashions...

      Causes dandruff. Ask Joe Hart.

  6. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years

    Issa Diop the hero of the GW Here

  7. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Need to find a way to have Salah Mane, Sterling, KDB & Kun in the sand team

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      *same

  8. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah owner non capper (captained Raz) and had a bad week so far, should I be wanting good points from Salah?

    Or will that hurt rank even more

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      His EO probably less than 100% so think you can cheer

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Points are always good in the long run

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        True, I suppose

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Goal will be a green arrow, once you own/its not one of the big boys assisting.

    4. TorresMagic™

      Not much difference. Cappers the real winners.

    5. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think so, many will still have Mane instead...

  9. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Don’t see CS for either team by the looks of things

  10. PikeyMikey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Whos best replacement for AWB?

    Already have AAT, Digne and Walker

  11. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Damn my scout pick team has done great so far. How do I check how it's doing OR?

  12. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Prediction:
    1-1
    Wijnaldum (Henderson assist)
    Wood (no assist)

    Have Pope, Barnes, van Dijk, Trent and Salah in this one.

  13. Hotdogs for Tea

    Pukki wagon going off the rails already ? sell and get Tammy ?

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

      ofc not

    2. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody scores in every single match.

      1. Demí
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Source?

  14. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Burnley corner. This is where they are dangerous.

  15. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Think TAA needs defensive help against McNeil.

  16. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Love those Liverpool kits...looks like the cover of Seamus Heaney’s Beowulf

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      Cultural

  17. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ok 10mins down, 80 more to go for 3CS cmonnnn

  18. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    That Sterling blank in a 4-0 win is very unlucky, won’t happen often.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly. It will be back to normal next GW provided Sterling survives the IB.

  19. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Can see the apprehension in the Liverpool players when they look to pass back to Adrian

  20. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero essential right??

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

      when is a 12mil striker ever essential? obviously not, vardy matched him at 8.9mil?

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        When you would captain him in say, the next 3-4 games

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

          u can captain sterling or salah tho, you have at least one or both of them

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, Aguero and KDB had their day today, could be Sterings next, they’re all as good a picks as eachother IMO its all luck

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Signs were there last week, when Aguero braced and Sterling had 1-2 shots

    3. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Once Jesus is back, not really. Don't you remember last season?

      1. Alan Watts
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Last season? Whats that?

  21. dshv
    • 6 Years

    What about the points guys is it bad ???

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Horrible.

  22. WVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Wow another wrong captain choice to go with my 34 last season, just incredible. Only pick the big boys at home too

  23. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Firmino. Time to repay the faith and blow the other Pool attackers out the water.

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That's some faith 🙂

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm not even blind!

  24. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why is Mane basically playing as a centre forward

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Away game.

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Because I have him

  25. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool players wearing different socks looks weird.

  26. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Really wanted to keep Wilson & Trossard but switching them to Ayew & KDB is probably for the best...right?

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KDB is someone I would not like to be without tbh. So absolutely.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm not happy about it, but might be time to ditch the differentials I think

  27. SuperDan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which is best?
    A) Aguero, Mount
    B) Haller, KDB

  28. Mr. Grv
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Rashford to ?

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Greenwood

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I wish already own him.:(

    2. TorresMagic™

      Vardy

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He has tough fixtures coming . I dont think he can keep it up .

  29. Midlands Saint73
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Nice to see C Wilson remaining consistent at least. Could do with VVD goal and clean sheet to boost a poor week so far. At least most are in similar position.

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

      the strange case of Callum Wilson, 3 assists, 1 goal, 5 points a game. Has great fixtures and people ditched him 😀
      And the best part, he is underpeforming currently..

  30. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    McNeil will be a very good player if he keeps improving like he has been doing!
