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.


LINE-UPS

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

Subs: Barnes, Peacock-Farrell, Rodriguez, Pieters, Vydra, Nartey, Dunne, Richardson, Driscoll-Glennon.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Rhys Williams, Robertson, Thiago, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Subs: Milner, Adrian, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Tsimikas, Shaqiri, Origi, Neco Williams, Koumetio.

West Bromwich Albion XI: Johnstone, Furlong, Robson-Kanu, Bartley, Ajayi, Phillips, Pereira, Townsend, Gallagher, Maitland-Niles, Yokuslu.

Subs: Button, Robinson, Diangana, Diagne, Peltier, O’Shea, Grant, Gardner-Hickman, King.

West Ham United XI: Randolph, Cresswell, Coufal, Benrahma, Lingard, Dawson, Fornals, Ogbonna, Soucek, Antonio, Rice.

Subs: Trott, Balbuena, Yarmolenko, Noble, Bowen, Diop, Fredericks, Johnson, Odubeko.

    Just outside top 2k, 2 FT, what u guys reckon…?

    Martinez - Forster
    Trent - Dallas - Rudiger - Digne - Holding
    Salah - Son - Lingard - Raphina - Jota
    Kane - Vydra - DCL

    A) DCL > Antonio and Vydra > Bamford
    B) one of the above and Son > Mane

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A looks a great move. That's the forward line I'm going with.

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      DCL & Vydra to Bamford & Antonio? Or find room for City mids?

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Dont think you need our advice mate.

      A looks nice though, so cue DCL brace against City

  2. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Would you start Vydra against Sheffield United ahead of DCL v Man City?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks. Other option is DCL to Bamford - 4. Better option?

  3. A-L
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best GK for this week other than Alisson or Ederson?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      De Gea

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Henderson plays

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say Mendy

    3. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Casilass

  4. ㅤRising
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Should I transfer out Bruno and Shaw tonight or tomorrow because price rises under the assumption they cant start in a league 2 days before EL final?

    1. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Do you need to sell them now? Who are you bringing in? Exact funds?

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What moves are you planning to make and is it exact cash?

      1. ㅤRising
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        exact cash. Bringing Trent, Mane, Bamford,

  5. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years

    For the last gameweek, will u sell mahrez or greenwood for willock?

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably neither - Greenwood could still start

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have Greenwood and am playing him.

  6. Indpush
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If you had a FH for 38 what 15 would you have?

    Mine currently is:

    Norris
    Dallas, Tarkowski, Coufal
    Mane, Salah, Son, Greenwood
    Kane, Firmino, Iheanacho

    Peacock, Willock, Alioski, Mitchell

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would bin Greenwood - rotation concern.

      Leeds attack should do well
      As should Antonio

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

        Cheers ya you are right. Thought it would be a fun punt with Greeny and if he didn't play Willock would come in.

        Changed Firmino out for Antonio (who was in my first team actually along with TAA). Brought back TAA.

        Swapped out Greenwood for Harrison and Mitchell for Cresswell

        Starting Dallas, TAA, Cresswell, Mane, Salah, Son, Harrison, Kane, Antonio, Iheanacho

        Bench: Willock, Coufal, Alioski

        1. Coaly
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Sounds good

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

            Thanks for your input Coaly. Appreciated it. I think, hahaha. Lets see but must say, ya looks better now. Think I won't touch it now unless an injury pops up or confirmed someone isn't playing.

  7. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A or B?

    A) Son & DCL to Mane & Antonio

    Mendy
    TAA Digne Dallas
    Salah Son Lingard Raphina
    Kane DCL Bamford

    Subs: Forster, Greenwood, Holding, Fofa

      A

  8. michaelington
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Watkins to Bamford for free? Can’t see any other moves and not sure on taking a hit for the last week.

    Martinez
    Dallas TAA Rudiger
    Salah Son Raphinha Lingard
    Antonio Watkins Kane

    Areola Shaw Zaha Keane

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years

      That's a good move.

  9. Scholes Out For Summer

    Really hope Liverpool fans give Roy a proper send off

    Class manager

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. DRIZ ✅

      About time he left

  10. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Have 2 questions:
    1. Anyone knows why Torres went out at 15th min?
    2. Which percentage would you give Patricio to start vs MUN? Given he was benched today

    Thanks.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1. Tactical. Cancelo red card, so attacking player out

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Cancelo sent off

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2. No idea. Not worth a transfer. Either he plays or he won't 🙂

  11. Iwantmorepointsthanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What a season. Finally it will come to an end.
    I think I will just do one FT, captain Salah as planned and hope for the best.
    No need to overthink it.

  12. Letsgo!

    1. No Professionals

      Nah, it's a decent punt.

  13. Ragabolly

    Very tight race for FPL title http://www.livefpl.net/leagues/314

    Ola leads by 1 point but looks like #2 has a better team for GW38..

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years

      My money's on Mohamad!

      1. Ragabolly

          Hahaha, will do!

  14. jia you
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Had a few shockers this season but this one takes the biscuit:

    Harsh -3 (Cancelo)
    Unlucky -4 (Greenwood(C) + Harrison in for Siggy + Lingard)
    Attacking double ups blank (Kane, Son, Ings, JWP)
    Benched Iheanacho

    25pts

  15. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mendy
    TAA - Holding - Ayling
    Salah - Bruno - Son - Raphinha
    Kane - DCL - Bamford

    (Forster) (Bowen - Coady - Amartey) - 1 FT - 1.4 ITB

    Pull the trigger on DCL -> Firmino? Priced out after tonight.

    1. leeboy104
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You happy to keep Bruno? I'd say he's more of a priority.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm. Don't know if he'd be benched for sure. I do know for sure that if he plays, I'd much rather have Bruno and Firmino than Mane and DCL

  16. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Trailing by 14 points in mini league (with 3rd only 4 behind me)

    Areola
    Trent Dallas Digne Dunk
    Salah(c) Bale Lingard Raphinha
    Kane Iheanacho

    Martinez Watkins JWP Shaw
    1ft 1.6m

    A) digne and Watkins to Robertson and Antonio (bench dunk)
    B) bale and digne to mane and Rudiger (or another up to 5.2m)

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Ain't No Holebas Girl
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I do like the idea of getting Mané in (and potentially capping) if chasing but A looks a pretty good shout here. You get to keep Bale as well who I guess could be a bit of a differential?

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I think a) looks more balanced of the 2

  17. Boly Would
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which Leeds transfer to make? Or Antonio?
    A) Maguire to Dallas
    B) Martinelli to Raphinha
    C) Watkins to Bamford/Antonio?

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C with Bamford.

      1. Boly Would
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. You playing Greenwood this week? Doing C means starting one of him or Martinelli

        1. BeWater
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I'm playing Greenwood.

  18. Ziyech on the Bench

    Aguero could be an amazing punt final gameweek at home fans last game for city?

    1. Three-Five-Two
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thought the same last season with David Silva. Cost me my ML by a point. Won't be getting burned again.

    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    haha 55 points with BB, Meslier 0, Guaita 1, Kane 2, DCL 2, Salah (C) 3, AWB + Shaw + Semedo = 4

    Somehow I managed to get a green arrow shooting me up to top 120k.
    FPL is simply the most f up game out there.

  22. ㅤRising
