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.

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

        Strange question

        Both are quality players

        Because the game has a budget.

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Think Salah worth 1m more as he's on pens/corners/ freekicks and gets more assists.

          Well done on city triple attack btw

  5. dark91

    Does this count as a save for Pope?

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

      No. Salah dispossessed.

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I know that. I meant how well its doing compared to everyone else.

    Willing to give £5 for a Pope cleanie and 1 bap and a Liverpool 1-0 loss courtesy of Barnes

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just a fiver?

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

        Yes, £5 only. Deal?

      2. Artemis Titans

        At least a kidney.. todays prices

    Is everyone kneejerking to Kun or Tammy?

    1. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I just kneejerked Rashford to Haller. Awb to Zinc. Afternoon beer. Can't be held responsible

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

        Good moves. Enjoy

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years

        you should have waited its the international break now, you might get hit by injuries

    2. European Bob
      • 11 Years

      Got both so no need

  9. delux
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope should be on 2 saves after that Salah post replay

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

      The save he has is the post one.

      Salah running through isn't a save.

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

        Baps flawed. Salah running through stuff worth 2 saves

  10. ppv

    Scout picks . No Aguero. Fail

    1. Tsparkes10

  11. jia you

    Salah is out of form, a bad first touch for his potential tap in and missed a sitter off the post earlier...way overpriced, non-owners can relax 🙂

      We need more anti salah propaganda like this!

      dont jinx it plz

  12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Playing Greenwood instead of Diop wasn’t that smart it turned out...

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tough call

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

    Great defending from Englands best RB.

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

      AWB?

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Young ??

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

    Early thoughts on best captain next GW:

    A) Salah (NEW)
    B) Sterling (nor)

    Initially thoughts were A but actually think it could be B with how Norwich are conceding.

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

      I’m keeping the armband on Sergio

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

        Prefer him at home.

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

          Any striker plays Norwich should really be captain

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

      It boils down to KO times for me, tough decision. Salah 12:30 vs Sterling 17:30

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Got to be B.

      Their 1st, 2nd, 3rd... CB choices are all out. Norwich will still attack, so they are likely to give City a bit more room to attack.

    4. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah

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

    Mount blank. Typical, how did he look

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wasn't very effective today.

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

      Like an FFS bandwagon.

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

    WC team?

    Ederson Button
    TAA VVD Digne Lundstram Kelly
    Salah KDB Mount James Cantwell
    Aguero Pukki Greenwood

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

      Sterling?

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

        Aguero Kdb will massively outscore him

    2. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Abraham?

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

        Mount

  17. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    am I the only 1 hoping for 0-0? owning Robbo, TAA, Salah and Pope

  18. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Had Perez and Kane, both needs to go...How does this team look?

    WC team:
    Pope // Button
    Dunk VVD Digne Walker // Lund
    Salah Sterling Mount KDB // Cantwell
    Haller Abraham // Greenwood

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Pukki

  19. Rainer

  20. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Do we reckon Kun plays Norwich away and Jesus away to Shaktar four days later? Other way around?

    3. Miguel Sanchez

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I don't know, I want to triple up on city, don't know how to fit in Kdb, also looking at getting barnes for Greenwood & probably sell Awb For Pieters

    5. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

  23. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I think I actually want this game to be 0-0 ( with Pope TAA VVD getting bonus) as I have Pope TAA VVD and Salah but 2 nearest rivals have captained Salah and only have 1 Liverpool defender!

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      * But TAA goal just as good!

  24. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Mount or Tammy?

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

      Tammy

    2. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tammy. Could have had a hat trick today if it wasnt for a good save by Henderson. He took is goals well same as last week.

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

      Mount

  25. Paulie Walnuts
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tammy or Haller?

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

      Haller

    2. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tammy.

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

    Patience rewarded with Tielrmans. Was going to ship him after IB, probs for Mount, looks like a hold now? Tammy looks the better shout from Chelsea?
