Klopp downplays Mane tantrum as Liverpool end clean sheet drought

Liverpool made it 13 league wins in a row and kept their first clean sheet of the season at Turf Moor on Saturday evening.

We reflect on their latest success and any Fantasy lessons learned in our Scout Notes article below.

Burnley 0-3 Liverpool

  • Goals: Chris Wood (£6.3m) own-goal, Sadio Mane (£11.5m), Roberto Firmino (£9.5m)
  • Assists: Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m), Firmino, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m)
  • Bonus: Firmino – 3, Alexander-Arnold – 2, Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) – 1

After the much-documented defensive struggles of August, all was well with the world again as Liverpool kept a fairly routine clean sheet and broke their shut-out duck for 2019/20.

This was about as textbook a Liverpool result as possible, with Jurgen Klopp’s side winning to nil and all three of the Reds’ frontline delivering attacking returns for their owners.

Sadio Mane (£11.5m) didn’t cut a contented figure, however, with his 84th-minute substitution provoking an angry response from the Senegalese winger – apparently not at the substitution itself but at Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.5m) selfishness in a promising breakaway move that petered out moments before his withdrawal.

Jurgen Klopp admitted the Egyptian was the root cause of the tantrum but downplayed suggestions of a rift between the pair, saying:

He was upset, that was obvious. You cannot hide his emotions like that.

But all sorted. We spoke about it, everything is fine. We are individuals, we are emotional. It was a situation in a game obviously, what else could happen? It’s not a phone call. It was a situation in the game he wasn’t happy about and then that’s completely fine. Would he do it exactly the same manner again? Probably not, but it happens.

Nothing happened, he didn’t say any wrong words, it just looked a little bit different to how he looks usually. Of course, I can understand that it’s a little story. Thank God we are now away for a week, so if you write something about it, we will not read it anyway. And after a week, nobody can remember anymore, so it’s a really cool moment to do it.

But it is all good really, all fine.

Salah’s occasional greediness when on the ball is nothing new and we have seen the Egypt international dispossessed or shoot wildly from impossible positions on enough occasions over the past two seasons to not be too surprised by his myopia in Gameweek 4 – he was tackled on more occasions and had more efforts off target than any other FPL midfielder in 2018/19, often to the detriment of his fortunes on the Bonus Points System.

Salah can, meanwhile, point to the fact that he not only created more chances than Mane last season but also registered four times as many assists.

Aside from this mini-tiff, it was business as usual for the front three.

Mane converted a Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) pass to put the Reds 2-0 up before Firmino himself finished expertly when collecting Salah’s heavy touch to put the game to bed on 79 minutes.

The Egyptian’s owners may have been deflated at the lack of goal for FPL’s priciest asset but on another day he would have found the back of the net: Salah struck the woodwork after just four minutes before bundling the ball wide when advancing on Nick Pope (£4.5m) soon after.

Mane and Salah will, as they did in 2018/19, likely trade goals and points all season but Firmino is keeping pace with them at this early stage of the campaign.

With Fantasy managers restricted to three Liverpool slots, the Brazilian was the fall-guy last season as Mane and the Reds’ defenders offered much better value for money.

The link-up forward who has long been viewed as the least threatening member of Liverpool’s front three, Firmino has actually registered more goal attempts and shots in the box than his two teammates so far this season and it will be interesting to monitor the Brazil international’s underlying stats over the coming weeks to see if his output is being sustained.

For as long as Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) remains fit, owners of Liverpool’s defensive assets will retain hopes that the Reds can go close to matching last season’s clean sheet count of 21.

There is a lot of debate in the Fantasy community as to how much Aymeric Laporte‘s (£6.5m) impending absence could affect Manchester City’s solidity at the back but there is little doubt that, should any misfortune befall van Dijk, any lingering talk of a Liverpool defensive double-up would mostly evaporate.

Van Dijk was superb on Saturday, dominating Chris Wood (£6.3m) in the air and allowing Burnley’s much-vaunted strike partnership few sights of goal.

It wasn’t a completely flawless display and Liverpool’s high defensive line still gives occasional cause for concern, with Wood and substitute Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) wasting excellent chances at either end of the game when breaking beyond van Dijk and the visitors’ backline.

Those were the only two saves that Adrian (£4.6m) had to make, however, and for the most part this defensive performance resembled the dominant displays of last season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) registered his third assist of the campaign but this was one of the more flukier attacking returns imaginable, with the Liverpool right-back’s cross from deep taking a deflection off Wood and looping in over Pope.

Up until Liverpool’s quickfire double in the first half, Burnley had largely held their own against the European champions.

Fantasy managers who own any of the Clarets’ assets can put this 3-0 defeat to the back of their minds as this was perhaps the stiffest test that Dyche’s side will face until December, with Burnley now sitting top of our Season Ticker from Gameweeks 5-14.

There was enough encouragement against the ‘also-rans’ of Southampton and Wolves in Gameweeks 1 and 3 for those of us who are considering a Burnley asset or two over the next three months, with Saturday’s defeat merely a reflection of just how far ahead the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City are from the chasing pack.

Dyche said of the game:

I have got to be honest, I was pretty pleased with the performance overall. I don’t think it ends up a 3-0 game on the actual game.

The first one is unlucky, the second one is a mistake and until then I didn’t think there was a lot in it.

We held our own in so many ways but the details are so important in every game, especially against the top sides.

When the turnovers came in the game they were clinical. My only gripe is that we gave it away too cheaply, too many times.

It’s a strange one because I don’t think Popey has had too much to do, but we stuck at it and tried to ask questions and probe.

Ben Mee (£5.0m) made an uncharacteristic error for Liverpool’s second goal, while four-goal Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) drew a blank for the first time this season.

The in-form striker offered flickers of hope to his ever-growing band of owners, shooting wide from a similar position to which he scored against Wolves and being denied a certain goal by an Alexander-Arnold intervention.

Dyche made his first league line-up change of the season for this match, with Aaron Lennon (£4.9m) replacing the injured Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£6.0m) on the right flank.

The Burnley boss gave an update on Gudmundsson and Robbie Brady (£5.5m) after full-time, saying:

Robbie will get minutes now. He’s not going away with Ireland cos he’s not ready for that. Hopefully he’ll get two 90 minutes in over the break which will bring him somewhat back up to speed.

Johann we’ll to wait and see on with his niggly calf. He’s not made it for the international trip so we don’t know whether he’s going to make it for Brighton in a couple of weeks.

Steven Defour (£5.5m) has now left the club by mutual consent, meanwhile.

For Liverpool, Jordan Henderson (£5.5m) hit the deck late in the game and was withdrawn soon after but the Reds’ skipper downplayed any injury concerns after full-time.

Henderson said:

I was alright. I was fine, I don’t know, maybe the gaffer thought I was hobbling about a bit. But no, it’s fine.

    Quick question please:
    Is there a way to know how many users are playing FPL from each country (rather than going through the country league pages)?

    1. MTPockets
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Don't think so but you can change the page number in the url to jump forward a lot

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah it takes around a min or two for each country

        I think I'm going mad. I'm sure the prices of some players aren't showing correctly, as if the last price rises aren't showing, and in the transfer lists the points don't total their actual points like the last GW hasn't gone on.

        I could have sworn Tammy was 7.2m last night and is now 7.1m for example. Weird.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          he is 7.2

        2. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He's £7.1m on my screen right now, and it looks like I can transfer him in for £7.1m, really...maybe a cookies thing? Let me see if I can transfer at £7.1m haha

        3. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe you had him at 7.0, hence his selling price is 7.1 for you

        4. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Monreal was showing flagged for me due to transfer yesterday and also isn't now no matter how much I refresh etc. I think I'm stuck in the matrix.

          I hit Play Wildcard then Confirm Wildcard then my page refreshed with no transfers made and all price changes now in effect. That was weird. Good news is Callum Wilson is now £7.8m which I didn't know wooo. Not unsurprising although he's given me a goal or assist in each 4 weeks.

      • the Penman

        “Myopia”. Nice!

      • Sasaboe
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        On Wildcard

        1) Aguero + de Bruyn or Sterling + Abraham (already have sterling in the team . Aguero thoughts)
        2) Gunn or Pope
        3) James or mount

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

          1) don't go without sterling. either have KdB in addition to him, or Kun in addition

          2) Pope

          3) Mount. James just can't keep scoring worldies every week... (utd fan here)

        2. Mr. Grv
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Kun + kdb until kun starts getting rotated or rested.
          Pope
          Coin flip but James seems to have form.

        3. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          KDB and Sterling are musts even more than Aguero. When jesus is back after the IB he'll be getting min in place of Aguero.

        Who is the best striker around 7m – and why?

        Tammy – up top for a very attacking Chelsea side
        Barnes – shoots a lot, cheap, GREAT fixtures
        Haller – good form, quite good fixtures, but can we trust west ham
        Wood – a differential alternative to Barnes

        1. Offs!de
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Haller- numerous talented suppliers behind him
          Abraham - playing for a very attacking side

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

            Dang, Haller's stats are quite great.

            9 of 9 attempts in the box.
            6 of those on target.
            xG of 3.something. i.e. he's quite clinical and reliable, and takes good care of the quality chances provided.

            A number of aerial attempts and from set plays as well.

            Can't wait to see him beat Lindelof in the air (utd fan here...)

        2. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Fascinated to hear why Burnley have GREAT fixtures and WH quite good ones? Do you only look at the next two? I see few attacking returns for Burnley in weeks 7 8. 9

          Also can we trust Burnley? Not a particularly attacking side after all

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

            Well, West Ham faces a top six side (Man utd) soon, although with united's form that probably won't be as tough as "expected".

            Burnley have only blue fixtures the next five or six. Don't know if we can trust Burnley, but Barnes just finds ways to knick goals. He shoots a lot, and a lot from inside the box, check the stats.

        3. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Haller. Nailed on, plays for a very creative side that have the second highest xG in the league behind only City.

        4. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Tammy

      • cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Any love for D Silva over KDB.
        Scenes next week KDB scores 2 pts and D Silva gets 2 assists. Thoughts

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

          An alternative scenario might also be that Silva is benched? I don't know, if he's going to have reduced minutes compared to KdB this season I'd rather go KdB personally.

        2. Mr. Grv
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          With UCl coming Dsilva might get rotated and Dsilva wont beat kdb returns in the longterm . Better to just stick kdb in the team and forget but Dsilva over sterling might work.

        3. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Ginger pretty nailed on, will cl coming up expect dilva to get rotated

        4. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I wanted Dilva instead of Mount, the consensus was Dilva not nailed should of not listened!

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

          KDB will outscore all city mid's by a long. If you're having a city mid it's got to KDB

      • Mr. Grv
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Stick with Rashford and Martial or Rashford to Haller ?

        1. Offs!de
          • 11 Years

          Stick

            • 5 Years

            Mount has done well up til now. 22 points for 6.2 midfielder

        3. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'd wait till pressers on martial news, if he is not fit would get rid of him, rash otherwise

          1. Mr. Grv
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah thanks .

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

          Switch to Haller if it’s an FT. Don’t think United’s scoring form atm justifies a doubling up.

          1. Mr. Grv
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yes its a FT if martial looks fine ill be switching

        5. Cojones of Destiny
          • 6 Years

        4 years, 6 months ago

        220 points/OR 1.7m cant get worse from here surely?
        Early thoughts on this lot?

        Pope
        AWB - VVD - Laporte! - Digne
        Mane - Sterling - KDB - Mount
        Pukki - Barnes

        (4.0 - Cantwell - Lundstarm - Wickham)
        1ft & 1.7m

        A) Laporte to TAA
        B) Laporte & Wickham to Haller & 4.5/4m def (-4)
        C) Anything else?

        Cheers! 🙂

        Worth sticking with Wilson... Fixtures look good

        1. Mr. Grv
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I sold him for rashford but i wish i had not , he has been flying under the radar with a consistent 5 pointers .
          Imo stick he might soon explode with a haul.

        2. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Stick defo...price falls and has been going under d radar ..with those fixtures coming up he could easily be the next forward bandwagon

        3. DeathoftheParty
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'm sticking. No real reason to ditch is there... Just a lot of good options below his price point.

          4 years, 6 months ago

          Glad someone asked this.

          I think Brooksy is bang on. It’s the cheaper options that’s making it tempting to switch.

          I’m still unsure, leaning towards keeping. Plenty of time to decide

      • g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Virgil, Trent & Salah vs Virgil, Salah, Firmino?

        Thinking remove Kane get either Vardy/Firmino & KDB with finds?

        1. thomashl
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Don't sell trent whatever you do. Been dying to get him in

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Don’t have at present, got Virgil & Mo

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Aha, sorry. Both options look good. Firmino could be great, but TAA maybe more consistent and even scoring. Maybe TAA's better value.

              1. g40steve
                • 6 Years

          Firmino looks good this season, but not having TAA is not a good thing imo

      • Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thoughts on having TAA as a premium defender and rotating Montoya, Soyuncu, Lundstrum and Ward in a 352? All rotate well and allows for a front 7 of -

        Sterling Mane KDB Mount Cantwell
        Aguero Pukki

          Looks good , i would say do it .
          I am too moving towards 3 city + mane

          nothing wrong with that, many I guess will do it

          Could work could fail miserably

          Pretty short sighted imo I don't think cantwell is good enough to be played every gw

          How times have changed from people insisting 5 premiums at the back is the way to go this season!

            wish people would make up their mind. its difficult to copy teams.

            • 14 Years

            I think laca might be injured

              ...apologies...only cramp...

              "Indeed it's so minor that further tests have shown it wasn't actually a hamstring injury but cramp. Good news before the international break"

                12mn for a lw , is sad 🙁 .
                Arsenal have such a great run of fixtures but offensively and defensively options are terrible.

                  Pepe could be an interesting differential once he sharpens up his end product. Definitely one I’m keeping an eye on.

            • 11 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            He will be there or there abouts in the golden Boot race at the end of the season..just don't get the confidence to captain him in any gw though

            Firmino. Dilva might be rotated

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

          Get TAA in for AWB as part of a -8?

          He get's returns every week, and should pay back at least the -4 with a CS against NEW. (the other part of the move is getting KdB and Haller)

          1. Mr. Grv
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            getting kdb haller Taa for -8 is probably the best move you could have.

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

              That's really what I think too. Too bad I just realised that KdB or Haller's recent rise prevents me from doing it by 0.1.

              Really don't want to get KdB early just to find out he gets injured in the int break...

              1. Mr. Grv
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Well thats bad but if you were tight on cash , always do transfers immediately

          2. TokyoRisingSun
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            No. Just get two out of those three you’ve mentioned. Save the last for the next game week.

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

              Ok cheers. Who do you think out of Haller / Abraham / Barnes?

          3. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Decent chance that prime City mids will start missing matches soon with start of CL around the corner - especially with easy fixture run

            One strategy is just to wait until KdB is rested and get him in immediately after.

        10. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Should of got A instead of Mount last week, B could have huge year.

        11. SHOWSTOPPERRR
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Abraham or barnes or pukka? already mount and Cantwell in my side..

        12. Party time
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Interesting captain picks for next gameweek to help shape up the ranking

              • 9 Years

                4 years, 6 months ago

                They'll talk themselves into Salah, no doubt. Sterling and Aguero will be big captain differentials.

              3. Mr. Grv
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                its easy for me with Kun . Dont really own salah or mane

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Aguero to quietly move on to scoring in his 6th PL in a row.

                • 12 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                another hattrick for Kun

            2. Link
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Best pairing forest 4 weeks

              A. Haller and PVA
              B. Vardy and 4.5 (Montoya/Lowton)
              C. Another combo of your choice! Max 13.5

              Which two would you rather have for next 3-4 GW's:

              A) Zinchenko & King
              B) Söyüncü & Haller

              WC team:
              Pope, Button
              Matip, TAA, Laundstarm, Kelly, Digne

                • 11 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Lot of glaring loopholes imo

                Kelly will probably lose his place sooner rather than later
                Matip and dilva rotation risks with UCL
                Playing one of D Luiz and cantwell each week don't like that either

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Not sure will lose his place though - Palace defence proving very resilient.

                2. Shineonme
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Kelly won't lose his place not the way he's playing. He's been playing fantastic.

              2. MTPockets
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Personal opinion is not ideal to to have dead + potentially dead picks when european rotation period kicks in.
                  Particularly when already holding players like Matip, TAA, Silva
                  Otherwise looks fine

                • Blue&White85
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Possibly Matip to Otamendi since Laporte is likely to be ruled out for a while?

                  I wouldn’t go for David Silva, too much of a rotation risk.

              3. Blue&White85
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                If Laporte is ruled out for a while as expected, I think I’m going to get Otamendi as he looks good value at 5.4. Which of these would you sell?

                Really wanting to hold off my WC, but have a couple issues (mostly PEREZ).

                Whats the best play here?

                Heaton
                Robbo / VVD / Coleman / Lundstram
                Sterling(C) / KDB / Mount / Ceballos
                Auba / Haller

                Perez / Soyuncu / Greenwood

                1.4 itb. 1FT

                A) Perez -> Cantwell (and bench him)
                B) Perez + Greenwood -> Cantwell and Barnes -4
                C) Perez -> Any mid up to 7.7m
                D) Save FT and take a price loss on Perez

                  Perez to Cantwell and bring in Barnes GW6? for no hits

                Are people in favour of the Salah plus the big 3 City attackers, or not? Does mean compromises elsewhere but that’s the question.

                    Not really doable. Even with Mane requires a lot of compromises

                    3 out of the 4.

                    7/8 man team with zero defence just when City and Pool defence start to look value - so no from me.

                    (Also factor in rotation at City with CL coming into view)

                  on WC want Zinchenko out as think he'll start getting rotated, Walker looks good, now Pep has mentioned he might play CB

                  Seemed to own the only two strikers not to score this gwk in Rashford and Pukki.

                  Rashford is a goner. Who’s main priority to bring in?

                  A) Barnes
                  B) Haller
                  C) Wilson
                  D) Vardy
                  E) Firmino
