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.

    mane is very angry because he is playing better than salah today but he is subbed instead of salah, and salah was so selfish

      I suspect you own Mane

      1. Ghost Gooner

        Are you even watching the game 😆

      2. OPTA FPL

        I dont

  2. FDMS All Starz

    Mane is not happy

  3. Rigid Digit

    Kane to Firmino ("Angry with Kane" transfer) pays off, plus 1.5 extra in the bank

    1. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years

      Kane hasnt played yet

      1. Rigid Digit
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah - I'm hoping he continues his lacklustre performance to justify my transfer even more

    Not a happy Mane

    Think I'll do Mane -> Salah.

    My couch is not big enough to go without him

  6. HurriKane

    Mane about to kill klopp 😀

    Salah awful. Pass the ball. Even for his assist, Firmino basically had to dispossess him.

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

      True. Mane and Firmino mostly pass in such situations.

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    Salah doesnt have Mane in his fantasy team

    Srs question. (soz, was bottomed)

    If Kane blanks tomorrow and I move out for Abraham, where would I best be placed spending the £4m difference with two free transfers?

    Current team is

    Heaton (Button)

    AWB, Zinchenko, VVD, Digne (Lundstram)
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell (Dendonker)
    Kane, Pukki (King)

    Im quite happy with my team and can't see any value is using the money to upgrade the subs, so Cantwell is possibly one to move.

    However, if I move him, I then have 8.6m for a replacement, but there's nothing in that price range that's really tearing it up.

    Any ideas? Just sit on the bank?

    Double Liv defence owners... how we all feeling? Gotta admit, FPL can take the enjoyment out of football games. Just been waiting for this scrubby Burnley goal.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      We're feeling like our patience is being rewarded

      1. Maddi Son

        Hope so man.

      Transferred out VVD for a hit to get KDB, honestly even if Liv gets a CS, i dont think defence is the place for investments this year.

      glad dont have to sit through the last 10 minutes anxious

    3. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years

      Ex TAA+Robbo owner, im happy i ditched em, got KDB and Mount for them 2 GWs ago for that cash 🙂

    4. Lilac Breasted Roller

      I think I'll hold, Alison will be back

    5. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Partially vindicated, another double CS against Newcastle will go some way towards repaying the faith. They are too good not to generate points on a regular basis.

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

    Mane vs Salah is good, they will both want to prove whos better, means points ;]

  12. Bartowski
    • 13 Years

    Mane annoyed cos he knows he's only one BPS above VVD for that last bonus.

        Thanks

  14. FDMS All Starz

    Oh dear looks like Mane will not pass to Salah anymore and will be determined to outscore him this year, time to own both!!

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yup had both since WC 🙂

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

    Mane as greedy as Salah...

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

    Pope on 5 saves

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

      I am getting him in

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

    Mane and salah need to be disciplined by klopp. Both seem to be competing against each other for goals

    That is why Liverpool will never be in the same level as city

  18. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane was unhappy Klopp substituted him and not Mo Salah. I have Salah but he needs to stop being that selfish.

  19. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why don't they just let Salah score, it's already 3-0 anyway

  20. Rainer

    ADRIAN!!!!

    1. Deulofail

      Done a Begovic?

  21. 1zverGGadeM

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah's selfishness is what pissed off Mane and no one can blame him for this

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He may just have thought Mane was offside, which would be easy to understand.

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

    Oh my. JRod

  23. jia you
    • 7 Years

    Mane justified in Klopp's favouritism to Mo! He was rubbish tonight!

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

        Latecomers welcome, but can't promise the same level of wellbeing and enlightenment as early adopters

      2. Skalla
        • 7 Years
