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.

    So Digne, Jota and Kane to go and 53 points. Looking like a potential green arrow after tomorrow.

        I dont have Salah so always a chance I plummet in rank.

      Potential, you're killing it!

    TAA should've been priced at 8mil.

      🙄

      1. F4L

        4 years, 8 months ago

        weren't the best premium defenders of the past 8mil. TAA shows no sign of slowing down in terms of number of assists

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Who? I don't remember anyone above 7.

            Baines was at one point I think. Vidic used to be up there as well I think, but that was a long time ago

    54 with Jota and Digne -Is this above or below average ?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Above.

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Way above average

    3. Amey

      Above

    4. FOO FIGHTER

      Will be above with those who captained Sterling which is majority.

    5. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      54 + bps = 62 + Son & Digne similar green arrow finally!

  6. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I had Haller Pukki and Barnes on WC. Luckily I did not stick to the template...

    Ageuro surely not going to be dropped when he is hauling!!! Pukki bad day at the office but not to worried about that. More goals will come from him.

  7. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Just watched the highlights from WH-Norwich game. Haller should have got a penalty.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      should've got a yellow and very lucky with the goal (Zimmerman injured). Swings and roundabouts

        Dendo Cantwell Wickham

        There is something about Salah that I could never warm to!
        Especially when it comes to great players, I always liked and respected them regardless of what team they played for or the stupid things that they did...but Salah nah, the man has little class!

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Exaclty . That is what separates him for players like KDB Aguero Kane. If he wants to be a true great he has to play for the team

          1. Regin
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            U and ur kane.

        Virgil looks as exhausted as if he has just had a gruelling day at a health farm

      • The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Tammy or barnes?

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Tammy. Tammy or Wilson?

          1. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Probably Tammy, Chelsea need to score at least 2-3 every game to get any points, so Tammy

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Ha think the same could be said of Bournemouth tbh, but leaning to Tammy at the moment

      • Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Start Lundstram (SOU) or Pukki (MCI)?

        😮

        1. ChelseaGuy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Pukki

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Pukki definitely
          I'm starting both

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        38 with Kane (c) to go could be a great score. Or just a decent one if Kane fails again

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

          That will be another 4pts for you

      • Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Is this the best Liverpool side of all time? Breaking points records plus European champions

        1. Marvin Moon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          No. From 77-85 they appeared in 5 European finals, winning 4. With several league titles to boot.

          1. Regin
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Most people here won't remember that.

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              That era didn't have messi and ronaldo two goats guiding barca and real

        2. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Still not premiership champions and that's the main event to win. How long is it now since Liverpool won the title ?

          1. Marvin Moon
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            30 years. About as long as it will be until Utd win another.

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Keep dreaming. We're building top squad gradually. 1 or 2 years and we're right back in with the top 2

              1. Marvin Moon
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                That's what Liverpool were saying in the early 90's.

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

                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    They were. Although I suspect you're too young to remember the 90's.

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

                      I was born in 1955. I remember the great times of both clubs. Tbh Both are great clubs but Man Utd are the bigger and most famous club and always will be.

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

                        Exactly

        3. Andy'81
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          For all of their plaudits they still ain't won an EPL title, no way can they be seen as the best yet.

      • Zilla
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I hate sideways transfers but Robertson to TAA could be an option soon

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          One player in mini league did that

        2. Jamie_GAWA
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          On a wildcard I think that’s the move but at the end of the day the assist was a bit lucky today and on another day it easily could have been Robbo with that luck!

          Could go either way but most of us have other priority transfers imo

      • SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Answer me you peasants

        Don't really want to lose them, but Wilson&Trossard -> Ayew&KDB gives me:
        Heaton
        TAA VVD Montoya Lundstram (Kelly)
        Salah Sterling KDB Martial (Cantwell)
        Haller Pukki (Ayew)

        Decent idea?

        1. MosF94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Looks like a strong squad! Like that you can rotate Cantwell, Lundstram, Montoya and Ayew. Is Ayew nailed though? He should be for now, after his goals, but medium-term will be still be starting?

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Think so, I might even be better than Benteke at this point

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              and thanks - you can't have everyone but I like this set up yeah, rotating that last position basically

        2. BenjaniMwaruwari
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Even for free I woudn't. Have both Wilson and Trossard and probably keeping. Wilson out of form but still averagong 5 points per game.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I've said this all along, and do really like them both - both KDB and Digne are the only remaining rank killers for me (and Aguero) so moving towards them makes sense

            1. BenjaniMwaruwari
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Not neccesarily, you just have to find a combo that scores as well as KDB and 5.0 in this scenario. I for one don't have KDB but have Vardy instead. Tou cant have them all.

              1. SADIO SANÉ
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Tis very true, although starting with a certain player doesn't mean you should keep them when there might be a better option

      • nxh84

        Salah is toxic! When he joined Liverpool, Mane has to give up his Right Wing Forward slot to Salah. Credit to Salah that he won the EPL Golden Boot that year. Last Season, Mane caught up to his goal scoring stats (without pens). Kudos to Mane and and thumbs down for Salah for being selfish. If Salah were to play Left Wing Forward, and Mane on the Right, I guess Mane would have outscored Salah by a landslide. Salah is a one trick pony IMO. Maybe Harry Wilson can play better than Salah if given the opportunity in the Liverpool team.

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Dont forget mane was a beast on RW in the season before Salah joined, their player of the season

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years

          What utter BS obout Salah. Sorry but you must be trolling.

          Yeah, Salah's just an average player who's been lucky. Thanks for opening my eyes.

        6. Shineonme

          ^^^ I agree ^^^

          4 years, 8 months ago

          Not trolling. In the days of Firmino, Mane, Coutinho there wasn’t such selfishness. All 3 interwove harmoniously. The problem starts with Salah. In his first season, everything is fine and he was top scorer. Now it is getting worst due to Mane also joint top scorer. All the past great Liverpool Forwards are all about Team over personal glory, which is not the case now with Mo.

          Just catching up with the results. Am guessing my wildcard team is all fine with no changes needed so far this week? How did Mount and the Norwich boys look?

          Pope
          TAA Digne Lunds
          Salah Sterling KDB Mount
          Barnes Pukki Haller
          Button Cantwell Soyuncu Rico
