Champions League-chasing Liverpool up against Norris as injured Pope misses out

The final two matches of Gameweek 37 kick off concurrently at 20:15 BST this evening.

Liverpool are the main draw from a Fantasy perspective, with the most-captained player of this Gameweek set to face Burnley’s third-choice goalkeeper.

With Diogo Jota (£6.9m) injured, Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and his two usual compadres in the Reds’ attack start as expected this evening.

Jurgen Klopp has made just the one change from the last-gasp win at West Brom, with Curtis Jones (£4.4m) replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.3m).

Sean Dyche has made two tweaks to the side that lost 4-0 at home to Leeds United.

There’s a surprise between the posts, with Will Norris (£4.0m), not Bailey Peacock-Farrell (£4.0m), lining up in Nick Pope‘s (£5.5m) absence.

Norris’s only previous appearances in the Premier League came back in the 2018/19 season as a late substitute for Wolves.

The other change sees winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.4m) replace forward Matej Vydra (£4.8m), with Dyche seemingly adopting similar tactics to the ones he used against Manchester United.

There was originally just one change apiece at the Hawthorns, meanwhile.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) comes in for Grady Diangana (£5.0m) for the hosts, while Said Benrahma (£5.9m) replaces Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m) for the Hammers.

But there is a late change to the West Ham line-up as Darren Randolph (£4.3m) is in for the injured Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m) between the posts.

Burnley: Norris, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Gudmundsson, Wood.

    Its games like this that makes you wonder how Salah scores so much...
    Looks truly awful in every touch

      Antonio & J Lingz. Get in

      Juuuuhuuuu

      Lingard 2 baps is something I guess.

      Leicester fortunate to have their EL place secure from the FA Cup victory. Nothing to lose now as they are the least likely to qualify for CL.

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years

        They're four points ahead in 5th with one game to go.

      Salah CS. What a haul!

    • Hazz

      • 6 Years

      This is why I didn't listen to y'all suggesting I bench Lingard over one of Bale/Dallas/Digne.

      Questions here are useful for something 😉

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE FOR THE LAS…
        • 7 Years

        I still don’t own him LOL

        Bringing him in on the final GW though for ASM

    • JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      54 all out. Decent considering a captain fail I guess. Most important thing was that Liverpool win! Getting UCL would be massive

    • Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      All round terrible captaincy talleys

      1. Mile Plankton
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Bruno (c) looks decent now.

    • g_jannyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Salah holdddddd. Non owner here 🙂

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years

        Lol

    • JBG
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      23pts between me and 2nd place. Can he catch me? I'm going to bring in 2 or 3 player's he has as diff over me. Leaving him with only Son/TAA(depends who off them I bring in) and Keane.

      Am I good?

    • Athletico Underachieving
      • 3 Years

      Weirdly happy with 46 after being on 19 before the ‘pool and West Ham games...

    • Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years

      If Robertson had any decency he should have got a yellow so Phillips got the bonus.

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Robbo was on 3 baps even before the second assist

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Robertson is 16 BAPs clear of anyone else. YC is only -3 BAPs.

    • Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      I was on 16 points with about 30mins of the pool/West Ham games to go and should end on 49! Delighted with that

    • Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      14 points behind ML rival heading into the final gameweek...

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Bruno to Mane (C)

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Possible transfer but I won’t captain!

    • It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Everyone captaining Kane or Salah. Not me hehe. Went Greenwood 😎

    • Dirty_Harry
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Well... Glad I captained Bruno after all hahahha

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Well why wouldn’t you be?

        1. Dirty_Harry
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Too bad the rest of my team sucked and I didn't even make 40 points lol

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 days ago

            It’s a rubbish game aint it 🙂

    • ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Anyone else thinking of getting in Mane as a last GW punt?

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Robertson

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Not convinced

      3. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years

        Yes

        1. Calderano FC
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Robertson has just been announced in Scotland's Euro squad, will be buzzing to get in

        Sure am. For Bruno, I think

    • RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Lame week
      46 no hits.
      Meslier no-show was the difference between a red & a green for me.

      Down from 1,245 > 1,595

      Need to make up 9 points to get into the top 1k - so time to think of something different and fun for next week. I've been telling folks the plan is to get Mane & Willock in - wish I did that this week.

    • Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Looks like that WHU third will push me down despite owning Lingz.
      So many Anotnioooooos here.

    • Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Can't believe Bruno turned out to be the best captain choice out of the popular picks thanks to that assist!

      1. Party time
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Lol

        • It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          After everything he was gifted in the GW prior it’s not that difficult to believe it.

        3 years, 4 days ago

        Nacho vs Spurs looks tasty.

        1. Party time
            3 years, 4 days ago

            Absolutely. Nacho will feast
