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 + Kane -> Mane + Kun done

      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If only you could get today’s points from it though.

      Looks good til Kane scores a brace tomorrow, as well. Plus, Jesus fit after IB

      1. squ1rrel
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Eh Kane is mediocre

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Only in August

          1. squ1rrel
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            always easier to go kun -> kane than kane -> kun

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

              Same logic for Salah > Mané

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mane returns pretty late from international duty. Sure he'll start?

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

    Mo is greedyyy

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

    Is Robbo to TAA a bit unnecessary with King in my team?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No need IMO

  4. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Time to bite the bullet and take a -8 to get KDB in?

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

      I may be doing a -4.

      Or -8/WC depending how rest of GW plus IB Unfolds

      1. Mweene
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Or I could do Kane to aguero for free

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

          Nae

  5. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mount to James?

    Not a knee jerk, I want James and Mount is the only mid I can ship. Would bank 0.1m from Mount sale (would have 0.4m ITB) and James is rising tonight.

    Y or N?

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I also own Emerson and Tammy.

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why do u want james?

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

        Sit down

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Because he's 6.0 and is entering goalscoring situations easily. 5 shots today, 4 on target. 4 shots last week, 1 on target.

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

          He's looking greedy which is gold in FPL and is up against Ricardo Pereira next GW who is very attacking so could have acres of space.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If you really want him then you should get him.

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Insane move to make this early in an international break when you have spare funds.

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

    No Brazilian has scored 50 PL goals ??
    😮

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

      That’s quite surprising tbh

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

        Yep

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

      Bobby is 1 off iirc.

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

        Exactly.
        Heard on commentry so was surprised

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

      Diego Costa?

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

        No i guess

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

      Sane?

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

        Wait no he assists more. Probably less than 30 goals

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        German

    5. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Julio Baptista?

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

        Bobby is highest at 49

  7. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Team is looking healthy with clean sheet points added for double Liv defence. This inevitable late Burnley goal is gonna sting

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

      87' Barnes

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years

        I’ll cry

  12. dashdriver

    KWP dropping?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He will definitely drop during the IB.

    1. Licky

    WC This team or keep?
    Pope, Heaton
    VVD, Digne, Zouma, Kelly, Lundstram
    Salah, KDB, Sterling, Mount, Trossard
    Haller, Pukki, Martinelli.
    1FT and 0,6 ITB.

  16. mcgrejam
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How’s this WC looking...

    Pope
    Digne, VVD, Zinchenko
    KDB, Salah, Sterling, Mount
    Pukki, Haller, Barnes

    Subs- Kelly, Lundstram etc - team good enough?

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

      The team above is similar with no WC

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Westwood tried to do a TAA there...

  18. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Keep pukki on wc ? Made 0.2 profit.abraham is tempting

  19. diesel001

    Liverpool usually become less defensively secure when one or both of Ox and Lallana come on.

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

      I always thought ox was the worst arsenal player of wenger final years if u don't include the universally panned players like squillaci Andre santos etc

  20. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Hendo off so 0-4

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Burnley goal more likely more like

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

      more like 2-1

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

      3-1 Mane scores again. Wood scores consolation goal.

  21. Pras (FPL)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Only FPL managers are nervous watching the game now. Everyone else has zoned off.

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

      Lol

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years

      Casuals counting Pope saves

          Hahahaha

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

        Haha, true, that's what makes FPL so damn addictive and so damn annoying!

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Mo stays on Pens.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Pope will save it if there is one anyway, so that’s irrelevant 😆

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

      Thankfully I threw Pepe into my WC team after today's dullness! Gives me a bit of hope for tomorrow!
      I don't normally fancy ARS in the NLD but there seems to be a lot of problems in that Spurs camp!

      I’m really looking forward to getting rid of AWB. Unbelievable.

        Salah owners, How y'all doing?

        2. Four Hit Wonder
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          A little better than Salah cappers

      • Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Heung Min Son anyone?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Nope. No Spurs until we see them gel

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          What about him?

          1. Ser Davos
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Looking at him as a fourth big hitter, albeit a Kun/Mane light beta version.

        Zouma. Played 90 mins in 4 games this season and still only has 1 point in FPL.
