Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Jota start as Liverpool visit Leeds in Gameweek 4

Gameweek 4 continues with Leeds United hosting Liverpool at Elland Road.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

For Leeds, new signing Daniel James (£6.0m) is on the bench, but Raphinha (£6.5m) starts after his ban for not being released to the Brazil squad was lifted.

Stuart Dallas (£5.5m) also features despite withdrawing from international duty, while Junior Firpo (£4.8m) has recovered from COVID-19 and replaces Pascal Struijk (£4.4m) in the starting XI.

As expected, Liverpool are without the injured Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) but Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Harvey Elliot (£5.5m) are fit.

Diogo Jota (£7.7m) starts in attack, while Thiago (£5.4m) replaces Jordan Henderson (£5.0m), who drops to the bench.

GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Leeds XI: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Firpo, Phillips, Dallas, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford

Subs: Klaesson, Struijk, Cresswell, Shackleton, Klich, Summerville, James, McCarron, Roberts

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliot, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Gomez, Tsimikas, Milner, Henderson, Keita, Jones, Oxlade-Chamberlain

      Shut up

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      Salah hat trick with no Jota involvement knowing our long term unbelievably bad luck

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

        Like I said before the game, will up 1-1 with Raph Salah goals and no Jota involvement

      1. Tabbara
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry meant Ayling

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      A would massively tempt me.

      Post again after the game. There's actual footie on at the mo

      1. MissouriMarten

        2 years, 7 months ago

        I dearly wish the mods would create a thread exclusively for RMTs and A or B questions and remove them from all other threads.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          It has been proposed in the past by multiple people

          I just can't understand why punters are focusing on next week rather than watching the games

  7. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jota was on his toes

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jota punters unlucky so far.

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Of course, always the way

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

      Haha what a surprise

  9. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Any other Trent return would make this a great week!

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years

      Its a great week already isn't it?

  10. Sim Simma

    Ayling sitter

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not quite a sitter

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Knee-jerker then

  11. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Feels like one of those games that Leeds will either bounce back and punish Liverpool for these chances, or Liverpool grab 4 in second half

  12. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ayling big chance

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Could have been a wonderful parting gift

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Binning before a good fixture run? Who're you going for?

      2. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Why would you get rid of Ayling with those fixtures?

  13. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Tried to knee it in

  14. TKC07
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Which combo is gonna score more by end of season?
    A) TAA + Gray/Gallagher
    B) Cancelo + Torres
    (Sissoko & Livra to cover rotation)

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A imo. Because B will probably rotated too much.

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ayling takes the knee during the game, respect.

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years

      Have a like

  16. Duke Silver ☑

    Leeds defending is comical 😆

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Liverpool front 3 are just bouncing off them...

  17. JBG
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Haha Mane.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's actively harming the flow of attacks now. How has he declined so much?

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        It’s got in his head

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

        It's actually incredible, he was neck and neck with Salah like 2 seasons ago, but now a shell of the player he was then.

        1. tangtastic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          He so overpriced now

          1. JBG
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Indeed. Should be around 9-10 max.

          2. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            He should never be more than Son

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mane has been Leeds' best in the 1st half.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, bizarre that's it's only 1-0.

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      needed to adjust better on that Jota or Salah floating cross

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

    A Leeds red card and we will be in for a goal fest

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ref turning a blind eye to lots of clear yellows but I have faith in Cooper's donkeyness

        1. Zalk
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I thought that he was too happy showing them

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ayling is a proper donkey

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota unlucky not to have scored and assisted today.

      1. Weilong7
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hopefully get something in the second half

    4. jai1212
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      If this was my playing 11 for GW5 at a -4, would you still think about WC-ing?

      Sanchez (Steele)

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No

      2. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I’d say that’s fine. Can use FTs to sort out bench later

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          But everyone will say don’t WC, no one has teams that are that bad but wc if you want to get to a team you like

      3. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        What is this ? A brag that your team looks as good as a wildcard team

        1. jai1212
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Haha I wish buddy! Although this team still has issues such as Mount suddenly being a rotation risk, Ings, and practically no bench. So, sure it looks okay but still just on the edge

    5. Sparkys Barmy Army
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Opinions on Hwang at 5.5. Will he be starting much?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        It's too early to know that. Jimenez has been a bit poor so helps his chances but you should probably doubt starts for now.

    6. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Def more goals in this game.

      More likely than not Jota gets something imo

    7. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Less Salah and more Jota + TAA pls

      EO is painful

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Have you got Salah? I have him (not captained), Trent and Raphinha and I've somehow gone up the ranks. Was expecting to drop like a stone thanks to Salah.

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

          Yeap, have Salah, jota TAA and Raphina

          Also gone up a lil in rank 🙂

    8. MountainBeach
      • 12 Years

      Can someone explain the "entry history" on FPL thing please? Don't have access to an old account, trying to find out how many points I got in a certain year

      1. Zalk
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        You can only see the entry history for accounts that have a team. So if you're old account don't have a team this year I'd be very surprised if you were able to find it at all.

    9. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wow just seen the Rodrigo shot on target, how do you miss that from that range with some much time and space? Such a weak shot straight at Alisson.

      I knew he wasn't a great goal scorer before joining Leeds, but that is just poor from a international striker.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        He is a sub par player thats why

      2. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        TAA non-owner?

    10. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Mane is so selfish

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        It's good for strikers to be selfish. His issue is that he is poor

      2. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I thought Salah was selfish until I saw Mané

    11. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Early thoughts? 1FT 1ITB, will (c) Salah next GW.

      1) Antonio to Bam, 352
      2) Tsim to Wolves def, 451
      3) Tsim Greenwood/Bruno to Wolves def Jota -4, 451
      4) Antonio to Jim, 352

      Ofc will be waiting until the midweek games are over. Thinking it might be a good time to lose Antonio as WH will be playing every 3 days for next 2-3 weeks.

    12. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      When is Klopp going to address this situation.. Mane has been horrendous again today. Got to start looking at other options on that wing now surely.
