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

    Who is the best 4.5 Palace defender to own?

      Kouyate is OOP although not a huge threat historically

        Thanks!

      The one that doesn’t play at Anfield next week.

      Love the top of the page 4.5 defenders questions.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      But I think it’s important that you check their next 6 fixtures

  2. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Would you double up on DCL and gray just for the next 2?

    Am I insane for wanting to get Pukki in?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Between him & ASM for me, still pondering

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

      yes

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Would not touch him with a barge pole

      1. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Just like Arsenal/Wolves defenders? And vaccines.

  4. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Antonio benrahma —->DCL + gray (-4)
    Y or N?

  5. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jota in pool shirt never gave me any returns so far..

    1. Bob.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He should have had a load of assists today!

      1. The Final Boss
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah unlucky.

  6. Bob.
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Team is

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw White Duffy
    Salah Greenwood Jota Gray
    Ronaldo Toney

    Ayling Gilmour Antonio

    1.2 itb and 1 ft

    My options are Toney to:
    A) Jimenez
    B) Richarlison
    C) Dennis and use spare change to make an upgrade next gw

    Cheers

    Please talk me out of greenwood + Ings > sissoko + Lukaku (and playing sissoko against NOR!!

    1. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      -4 too

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No need to rush Lukaku in. Tough 2 fixtures next. Just sell Ings and wait a few weeks for Lukaku

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

        Spurs not that great yesterday though

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I said before this game week that if Lukaku banged just hold off for another two weeks. You wanted him for the game just gone, not the next two.

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        True dat

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Lukaku can score vs Spurs, probably wont vs City tho

    4. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      if you dont plan to cap Lukaku a greenwood + DCL/Antonio feels alot stronger

  8. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else with no bench apart from Livramento? How are you going to deal with Antonio's absence?

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

      I've got Sissoko coming in luckily. Happy to give him a run out against Norwich for 1 week

  9. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    On WC, best 3 mids for 15.1?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw Marcal Livramento Williams
    Salah Raphina X X X
    Ronaldo Lukaku DCL

    Appreciate any thoughts!

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      2*4.5 & Traore . play 433

    2. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Gallagher + sissoko. Unsure of any viable 5s. Wait for brown hill to drop to 4.4. Spend .6 on Williams

  10. Rassi
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Antonio being sold by a ton. People don't realise he is suspended from just one match?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Leeds potentially without llorente for that match too. Personally prefer DCL vs Norwich that week anyway so will just make the move this week instead of benching him and waiting. Could WC him back in for GW7 if needed

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Or they decided they need Ron and Rom

    3. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't get me wrong: I am happy seeing his ownership go down. The less, the merrier.

    4. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Very few people have bench cover because they spent all the money on Ronaldo and/or Lukaku. Nothing to stop swapping him out for Bamford then bringing him back week after.

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That’s over simplified.

    6. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Got him for 7.9. Will probably swap for Bamford. Buy back later, depending on how things go.

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

      Leeds are potentially without Llorente Strujik and Koch for their game against West Ham. Im keeping.

  11. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How is this WC for GW5?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA, James, Marcal (Livra, Manquillo)
    Salah, Jota, Greenwood, Kovacic (Allan)
    Lukaku, CR7 (Dennis)

    0 ITB

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Meant to do 4-4-2, Livra playing.

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

      Kova not a good option imo.

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Why do you say that?

  12. boc610
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Leeds could go down playing like that. got away with it last season conceding as many as they scored but other teams will be onto them now.

  13. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Considering wildcarding from a position of relative strength

    Sanchez
    Trent Shaw White
    Salah Greenwood Benrahma Raphinha
    Ronaldo Antonio* DCL

    Steele Brownhill Amartey Tsimikas
    0.6m 1FT

    If I could get Lukaku in a team with Ronaldo, salah and Trent (without destroying the midfield), I’d play the wildcard.

    Antonio to Bamford probably the sensible move.

  14. Slurpy
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA White Shaw Ayling (Amartey)
    Salah Greenwood Torres Benrahma (JB8)
    Lukaku DCL (Antonio)

    What's the more pressing issue - Greenwood or Benrahma?
    Happy to play Ayling for Antonio
    .3 ITB
    Greenwood to Jota?
    or
    Benrahma to Raphinha (Leeds looking poor)
    or Gallagher (Tough Fixture)

  15. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Guys seems like Antonio dropping..Will it affects his selling price if we bought him from the first gw itself? That is at 7.5m.

  16. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How is this WC?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA, James, Marcal, Duffy (Livra)
    Salah, Jota, Greenwood, Allan (Mcarthur)
    Lukaku, CR7 (Hwang)
