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.

      Yaaaas

      Nice

    Og is a stupid call on first goal and I don't own TAA

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

      clearly took a big deflection...

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

      Did deflect. Probably wouldn’t be going in otherwise. Hence OG

      Keeper would have saved it otherwise.

        Dumbest thing i’ve ever heard

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Don't think that's ever in consideration

      3. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agree man, clear goal

      4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        By FPL rules it wasn't a goal and I own TAA

        Do think they should go by the opta official ruling on who scored it , whoever that is . Would be weird one game giving him the goal when Trent gets it officially

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Trent. Fire and forget option

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

      Not a gw for Raz Salah owners then.

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

        Doesn’t appear so. Similar to GW2

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

          Yep

      2. DAZZ

        One bad week. 34 to go

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

          Yep
          🙂

    6. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years

      Ridiculous ruling on the Wood OG.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agree with you mate

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        how. Wood deflection took it closer to goal, and even then it just squeaked in

      3. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah they couldn't alter the trajectory just to please you.

    7. KGFC
      • 7 Years

      Am I the only one here who wants Pool to lose their CS?

      1. JayLegend
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, just you.

      2. Uncle Gamst
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Guess the answer might be yes 😉

      3. Artemis Titans
        • 9 Years

        No

      4. BobbyV

        Me too...

      5. Tomerick

        A few Burnley fans may be with you on this.

    8. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      PL league between City and LFC. Think this can last 5 years longer?

    9. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I own Wood & TAA. What just happened. 🙁

      1. teddypicker
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You get +1 overall, hope for more of the same in the second half

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Pope owner too.

          1. teddypicker
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Unfortunate then 😀

    10. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Email sent to FPL Towers to correct the TAA goal. They have to prove it it wasn't going on target

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

        A pair of eyes is all thats needed to prove it.

      2. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        relax.... they'll figure it out. An email is a little over the top

      3. Uncle Gamst
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Surely if they cant prove it was on target then it's an OG

    11. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      People have both Wood and TAA, is that goal or OG? 😉

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Bloody hope it's not an OG.

    12. Amey

      Wood owners are UNLUCKY !!

          Good job bro

      2. Eytexi

        Hi, Wood & TAA owner here.

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

          Tough luck bro

    13. HurriKane

      Lots of kneejerking on the cards

      Can see loads shipping sterling and salah for kdb and mane only for them to haul next gw

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years

        Unless you have all three.

    14. Billy Baroo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thoughts on Bobby Chompers being the best way into the Liverpool attack? Sure, he is more of a distributor, but seems like Mané/Salah is a bit all or nothing. His position on the field and relative price point gives a bit more budget flexibility with the squad.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        So go all in on mane or salah and stick with it

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I thought that last year towards the end of the season then he got injured.
        Trouble is Vardy is the same price as Frimino and Vardy is on pens

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

      Can Liverpool lose their CS now instead of losing it in the 80s?

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

        They can if they don't invent a time machine

    16. Party time
        4 years, 7 months ago

        How is the template gw 4 wildcard looking??

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

          Salah out Mane in

          Pukki out, too long now since a goal, Wood in for his goal.

        2. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Should I bother? Will change again next week 😉

          no

            • 13 Years

            No to which ?

      • OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That cross was on target wasnt it?

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          It was imo. Clearly was going on target

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Even if it was (it wasn’t) the key word is ‘cross’

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                4 years, 7 months ago

                A cross that goes in isn't a goal?

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

            Salah would have been on the end of it.

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

            The cross was on target to the penalty area where he aimed not the goal lol

        2. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Lol at people who think that wasn’t an OG. Seriously

          1. Weasel Boy

          2. OPTA FPL
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            now owner by any chance?
            Westwood goal from the cross from corner kick last season vs LIV

            1. OPTA FPL
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              non

        3. PogChamp
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          The only way to get the Sterling, Kun and Salah, Mane selection right is to own them all.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            And what about the rest of the team. Timing is everything

          2. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            WC time

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

            and you would be dumb to not own kdb , which makes it impossible to own them all and get captaincy right.

            1. PogChamp
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah. I'm Sterling (c) and Salah.

            2. nxh84
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              That make KDB the only safe captain choice. He’s delivering consistently over the 4 gws

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

          Ok I don’t care about Liverpool scoring anymore, just need my first pool CS after sticking with Robbo & VVD for 4 weeks

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

            Barnes will def score!

          • 9 Years

          Imagine all the Wood and Robbo owners out there since GW1. There are a few, the TAA Barnes owners laughing at them

        6. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

              Hehehehe. Mané & £1 is the best business ever!

              • 7 Years

              Yeah Sterling/Salah to Mane/KdB will be popular!

            • 7 Years

            • 9 Years

            Barnes is getting shots away. He’s a great option

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Going forward it’s a good choice hazz, i’ll be jumping on him tonight if he makes it through unscathed, cant risk a Barnes rise/Adams drop.

            • 14 Years

            Ridiculous that goes down as an OG. The deflection may have foxed the keeper but it didn't alter the course

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years

            Hodgson doesn't get enough credit. That Palace team is a wreck atm, and he's got them 7 points so far, and 4th place.
