Jota benched as Robertson returns to Liverpool XI

A mouth-watering clash at Anfield sees Liverpool take on Chelsea in the Saturday evening kick-off.

The action on Merseyside gets underway at 17:30 BST.

Jurgen Klopp has decided to make three changes to the Reds side that beat Burnley at Anfield last weekend, two of which are significant from a Fantasy perspective.

Kostas Tsimikas (£4.2m) and Diogo Jota (£7.6m) are both benched as the fit-again Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m) are recalled to the starting XI.

Klopp’s other alteration sees Fabinho (£5.4m), back after missing Gameweek 2 for personal reasons, come in for Naby Keita (£5.0m) in midfield.

Teenager Harvey Elliott (£5.5m) keeps his place in the centre of the park.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has kept things simple, making just one, predictable adjustment after the 2-0 away win over Arsenal last Sunday.

That change sees N’Golo Kante (£4.9m) come into the midfield for Mateo Kovacic (£5.0m).

Marcos Alonso (£5.6m) once again starts at left wing-back, with Ben Chilwell (£5.8m) still without any game-time since May.

Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m), transferred in by over half a million Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of the Gameweek 3 deadline, is again flanked by Mason Mount (£7.5m) and Kai Havertz (£8.3m) in the Chelsea attack.

The sale of Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) was perhaps used to free up funds for the Belgian for many Fantasy bosses, with the Egyptian the most transferred-out midfielder of this Gameweek.

He is still the third-most captained player of the round, however, with just under one million of us handing him the armband.


Liverpool Xl: Alisson, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Henderson, Robertson, Matip, Alexander-Arnold, Elliot.

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Thiago, Keita, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jota, Minamino, Tsimikas.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Rudiger, Alonso, Christensen, Jorginho, Kante, Lukaku, Mount, James, Azpilicueta, Havertz.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Silva, Kovacic, Werner, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Hudson-Odoi, Chilwell, Ziyech.

    Lukaku has to score around 30 points to help Mark match the transfer outs...

    Targets/sells if chasing price rises on wc?

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      surely Torres is going to rise

    2. HTL
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Has this ever actually worked out during an international break? On the reasoning that wildcarders don’t actually affect prices, and we’re all waiting on Ronaldo info?

      Fairly sure in a previous year I banked on catching price swings on an international break W/C and it was an absolute bust because everyone else was W/Cing

    Those still holding Tsimikas, don't sell just yet as Lukaku could easily tear Robertson a new ars*hole.

    1. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Are you suggesting that Andy Robertson is going to lose his starting gig to Tsimikas based on one game against Chelsea? I don't find that credible at all.

    1. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Brandon Williams might get somewhat regular minutes with Norwich. Is Livramento 4.1 now? Sorry if you missed that particular boat.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years

        I’ll have 4.1

              Bro, you asked folks to basically do your homework for you. If you want further explanation you should put in a little effort to learn who the guy is.

              Isn't that why you're playing? To learn the league better?

      It's too early in the season to moan so much.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        You must be new here

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

        But when it’s the 3rd week in a row and you haven’t had a good one since about GW30 last season…

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      The Jota subbing on for the 3-2 winning goal will be a beautiful thing

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Mount has obviously been watching Zizou’s highlights reels

    Matip always make it look like someone insulted his family or something whenever referees give fouls against him

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It was a dive tbf

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        True for today but he always makes the same reaction 😀

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah it was pretty dramatic I agree

    2. Muchentuchel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      he's a very (!) fair sportsman so he only reacts like that when the ref was clearly wrong.
