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.

    The only controversial thing about the TAA goal is that Wood gets -2 for doing nothing wrong!

    It's incredible how many bugs they got on the official FPL app. My app right now says 0 goals for TAA

          Nokia is dead, I loved my Lumia 930 but there were no apps and the browser wasn’t updated to match websites.

      The FPL app says zero goals for my entire team and they are absolutely right 🙂

    Trivia

    Which player from the two squads has the most premier league assists?

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

      Aaron Lennon

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

        WRONG!!!

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

          Lol wasn't a proper guess

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

      Milner ?

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

        Yes that is correct

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

          Obvious tbh
          He's been playing since 100 years 😀

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

            My answer was lennon but realized Milner after posting

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

      Which 2 squads ?

  8. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Laporte + Perez->?

    A. Martial + walker
    B. James + Trent

  9. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pukki hasn’t scored this week. Should I take a -8 to get rid?

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

      Keep

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

    Roberston owners must be wondering where it all went wrong

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      ? 1 CS? Lundstram for 4.0 has more points 😛

  11. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino playing really well this season...gone up a notch.

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's been playing like this for years.

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        To be fair, he was a step below last season. Looking more like two seasons ago.

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

      He might be the “KDB” of Liverpool.

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

      Still Not good enough for Liverpool I'm afriad.

      Goal record really poor all the burden on salah and Kane to score goals

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

        Mane*

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

        You obviously don't understand the game very well if you think Firmino is not good enough for Liverpool mate!

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

          I'm gonna give him the benefit of doubt and presume he meant in an FPL sense. LOL

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

            No I'm talking real life.

            Compare him to rashford. Half we have rashy up front now. So much younger and scores about the same amount. Will be a beast when he gets to firminos age

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

              Glade we*

      3. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Outside of FPL in the real world it doesn’t matter who scores the goals as long as they’re scored. Firmino’s job as a player is to supply two wide men mainly...and he does it exceedingly well.

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

      He is really underrated! I started with him in my FPL team but got rid this week on WC...not the greatest FPL asset but an amazing player IRL doing what he's doing for LIV!

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I started with him as well and also ditched...he’s not the best FPL pick. Great player but also one of the most unselfish players around.

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

      Love him as a player.
      Selflessness personified

    Burnley FK near the corner flag. Dangerous for Liverpool

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      If there's a goal it better be Barnes

        😀

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

    That Robertson cross was on target!

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

      Same as TAA. Argument was a cross and can't be goal fells in a water

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

    If Pope flopped with this ne a Robbo goal? Yes. And it was a cross. Same as TAA

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

      *is it a Robbo goal

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

      No deflection, stop it.

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

        Ok TM

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

      No - it would go down as a Pope o.g.

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

        Pope o.g.? Sure?

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

          Goal obviously .

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

          Yes. because to get it into the goal Pope would have to deflect it onto target. It was curling away from the goal by the time the ball reached Pope

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

            Really? There. It's really difficult to prove was or wasn't going on target

  17. Nice to Finally Michu

  19. Amey

    Taa looks dangerous every time he's in the correct box 😀

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      True season keeper

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

    Is VVD downgradable with the upcoming fixtures after Newcastle?

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

      Sure, being named the best player in the world over Messi and Ronaldo doesn't count for anything in FPL

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

        I am not sure in which direction is your advice

      2. dark91

        Europe*

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Surely there are other fires to put out than taking VVD out

    3. SADIO SANÉ

      I'll be moving to
      Digne myself, decent timing for it (hopefully not too late)

    Salah terrible today

  22. Rainer

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Greedy Mo!

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

      Good from FPL point of view 😉

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

    That was poor from Salah. Really should have passed it to Firmino

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

    Salah is SELFISH 😀

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

      Usually good for FPL, but just now it was bad because Firmino would have buried it and Salah would have got an assist

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

        Yep

  25. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years

  26. Cok3y5murf

    Salah is so selfish ffs. Pathetic

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

    TAA feeling sorry for Salah, tried to tee him up there but Mopey Mo fecked it up again! After that he ran around in circles for a bit and gave away a certain goal by being greedy! Non owners rejoice! 🙂

    will it be Pope save?

    1. dark91

      Liverpool is playing with handbrakes on. City playing with wild abandon.
