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.

        Enormous for me. Cuts ML deficit to 2pts from 8 this morning.

        It's not like anyone else was on fire

      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
        2 years, 10 months ago

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

      Kane, Salah and Bruno all blank. Crazy.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes they all blanked but Bruno seems to have more points?

      • 7 Years

    • Muscout

      Salah mate how many times do you want to go through on goal :@

    • Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Salah CS. What a haul!

    • Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years

      Up the pool.

    • Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      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. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I still don’t own him LOL

        Bringing him in on the final GW though for ASM

    • JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months 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
      2 years, 10 months ago

      All round terrible captaincy talleys

      1. Mile Plankton
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bruno (c) looks decent now.

    • g_jannyg
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Salah holdddddd. Non owner here 🙂

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lol

    • JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months 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
      2 years, 10 months ago

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

    • Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Robbo was on 3 baps even before the second assist

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

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

    • Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months 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
      2 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bruno to Mane (C)

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Possible transfer but I won’t captain!

    • It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

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

    • Dirty_Harry
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Well... Glad I captained Bruno after all hahahha

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Well why wouldn’t you be?

        1. Dirty_Harry
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

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

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            It’s a rubbish game aint it 🙂

    • ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Robertson

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not convinced

      3. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years

        Yes

        1. Calderano FC
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

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

      4. LOL LINGARD SCORED
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Sure am. For Bruno, I think

    • RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months 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
      2 years, 10 months 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
      2 years, 10 months 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
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Lol

        • It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nacho vs Spurs looks tasty.

        1. Party time
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Absolutely. Nacho will feast
