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.

    Not sure what Dyche can say to his players after this....they’ve actually played well in their own usual style.

      It's not like they expected points. No psychology is needed after losing a game to a CL champion.

  7. Rainer

    Laporte owners - how bad injury?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 22 days ago

      Looked bad given he was stretchered off and went straight to hospital.

    2. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 22 days ago

      Probably only an international one after he visits the Barcelona clinic.

        5 years, 22 days ago

        The Tammy situation, i feel when you dont have him by now, the train left the station, we jump on him and it will kill it :] Dont like to chase points, maybe if its players like Mo, Sterling, Kane etc that start to fire every week.

      WHU should get Lewandowski. Wonder how much he would be priced in FPL, i guess in the 11m bracket with Auba and Kane?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 22 days ago

        9-10m

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 22 days ago
