The latest on Alexander-Arnold’s illness as Klopp talks up future rotation

Our analysis of the weekend’s Premier League matches from a Fantasy perspective continues as we spotlight the key talking points from Liverpool’s win over Crystal Palace.

For a summary of all six of Saturday’s games, click here.

LIVERPOOL 3-0 CRYSTAL PALACE

  • Goals: Sadio Mane (£11.9m), Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), Naby Keita (£5.0m)
  • Assists: Salah, Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m)
  • Bonus: van Dijk x3, Salah x2, Alisson (£6.0m)

ALEXANDER-ARNOLD “ILL”

The best FPL defenders for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard 5

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) missed Liverpool’s meeting with Crystal Palace through illness but Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the right-back’s ailment wasn’t Covid-related, adding:

“This morning, after breakfast, Trent didn’t feel right. We actually planned to start him but Millie did an incredible job.”

Thiago Alcantara (£5.4m) also picked up a calf problem in the 3-0 victory over the Eagles which Klopp hopes isn’t serious.

KLOPP TO ROTATE MORE?

 1

The start of the UEFA Champions League group stage usually results in a surge in rotation at Manchester City but we haven’t seen as much of it from Jurgen Klopp in recent years.

This season could be different, however.

The Liverpool boss had previously discussed how he didn’t want to rotate Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) out of the side in 2020/21 because of the disruption caused by injuries elsewhere. With just five Gameweeks gone of the current campaign, he has already done something he didn’t do in the Premier League last season – bench his first-choice left-back.

Kostas Tsimikas (£4.0m) was again the beneficiary against Crystal Palace, claiming five FPL points as the Reds registered their fourth clean sheet of the season.

Asked whether the intention was to chop and change a bit more in 2021/22, Klopp said after full-time:

“Yeah. I think we did in the past but maybe if you ask me like this then maybe not often enough, I don’t know. You want to line up the best possible team and there are different factors; one is who played together. Today it was ‘rhythm or freshness?’ and we decided for freshness. Otherwise, we could have played one or another again, but we didn’t want that.

“Joel {Matip] is not injured or anything, we just left him completely out of the squad so we don’t get into danger of bringing him on or whatever. Trent, we planned to bring him [in] but that was sorted as well, so that’s it.

“We will rotate, we always rotated, but you see in the last line in the last years we couldn’t rotate really because there were always a maximum of two fit [centre-backs] very often – and the third one was already a midfielder. In midfield, hopefully, we have the numbers to do [it] and we need that because, as I said before the game, this is the engine room of the team and we need to make the changes there. Up front, we have different opportunities as well, so that’s good. How often we do it, I didn’t make a plan already for the season, but as often as necessary and possible.” – Jurgen Klopp

SET-PIECE PROWESS AND JOTA FRUSTRATION

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mane (£11.9m) are, until Sunday’s games at least, now first and second for FPL points among midfielders this season.

Salah has reached 50 FPL points quicker than in any of his five previous campaigns.

Both players followed up rebounds from corner-kick situations to find the net against the Eagles, while Naby Keita (£5.0m) lashed in a third to complete a dead-ball treble.

Over a third of Liverpool’s goal attempts this season have come from set plays, with their tally of 43 shots from dead-ball situations vastly superior to that of any other side. Another reason, of course, why Alexander-Arnold is such a precious FPL commodity.

Diogo Jota (£7.7m) suffered another frustrating afternoon in front of goal, however, blazing over from four yards with his best effort.

Even the absence of Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) didn’t stop him from being hooked for the fourth time this season and the Brazilian is back to full training this week to further weaken Jota’s grip on a starting spot.

ANOTHER ENCOURAGING DISPLAY FROM PALACE

The latest on Alexander-Arnold's illness as Klopp talks up future rotation

Crystal Palace opened their 2021/22 campaign with a chastening defeat to Chelsea but while the scoreline was identical at Anfield, the performance was more heartening.

Liverpool were generally frustrated from open play and the Eagles carved out some good openings at the other end, with Alisson (£6.0m) clawing a Wilfried Zaha (£6.9m) effort onto the woodwork and Christian Benteke (£6.3m) also hitting the post – an offside flag went up in that instance but a VAR call would have overturned it.

Alisson merited his bonus point with some sweeper-keeping, advancing to snuff out a couple of promising Palace attacks behind the much-changed backline and preventing substitute Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) from following up a big chance late on.

“I think losing 3-0 is quite difficult and severe [given] the number of chances we created or the situations we created. We were really poor defending set pieces and you can’t concede three goals on set pieces at Anfield if you want to take something from the game.

“At the moment it’s more frustration. We knew how difficult this game was and I believe we played at times some really good football. The frustration was to concede those three goals on the set pieces because you expect, especially playing here, [you are more likely] to concede from open play.” – Patrick Vieira


Liverpool XI: Alisson, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Konaté, Thiago (Keïta 62), Henderson (Origi 88), Milner, Mané, Salah, Jota (Jones 76).

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Guéhi, Andersen, Mitchell, Kouyaté (Olise 82), McArthur (Riedewald 65), Gallagher, Ayew, Zaha, Benteke (Edouard 65).

    While Sky try and turn your stomach talking about "sustainability" at the Spurs stadium take a look at Son's supercar collection..........

    I wonder which one he left at home today or parked around the corner to entertain this virtue singling puke fest?

        That's worse.

      He's not allowed a Red Ferrari because Spurs are worried about the Arsenal rivalry? If that's even true, how petty of them.

        Indeed,he should have a fleet of white supercars like Chris Evans has instead. 😛

        12.30 is the BT slot and they are showing Chelsea vs Man City.

      I’ve got Bachmann too mate and looking to get rid, considering Ramsdale and Guaita!!

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that's where I'm at. I thought Watford would be tight at the back.

        Arsenal's back 4 will improve them overall, just worry he'll be rotated with Leno

          Yeah me too mate, not looking like keeping any cleanie at all!! If I went for for Ramsdale it might be for Foster and bench Bachmann, I do like Guaita a lot tho!!

        Lmao

        Sancho has been THAT bad, tbh. That leaves Pogba and Greenwood as the only fit reliable wingers

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years

        Sancho dropped for Pogba and Greenwood - warranted.

      Wow! The lies about Benrahma!

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Wasn't ruled out. Had a knock, according to Moyes on West Ham's official site

        What lies?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          My bad maybe. I am not going to go back into the archives but I got the info 3rd hand TBH. I should do my own follow up on rumors. Apologies.

      2. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Only reported he had a knock, no one said he was ruled out.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years

          See above. Excuse me

    13. Grounderz

      Benrahma starting, yes!

    14. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That's Bowen or Vlasic up top, or a fluid front 4. Should be an open game for Man U, since there's nobody who presses really well from the front for West Ham and it's a back 4 again. Rice and Soucek will earn their wages today

      2. Andy_Social

        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not directly. He'd displace Veltman, who could in turn dislodge Duffy.
        For now, I need Sanchez, Duffy and Bissy to repeat their GW2 heroics to dig me out.

    What’s happened to Iheanacho…ended last season on a roll, looked impressive

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Baffling. Why would you drop someone is such good form...

      Barnes over Nacho is good for our Brighton CS chances anyway...

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, hope so.

        Iheanacho was in all my pre season drafts, up until the final day 😮

      2. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Lets go Seagulls!

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 6 months ago

        While he was scoring I think they still dropped plenty of points and bottled 4th, Rodgers doesn't like the formation that suits iheanacho

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ah okay, that makes sense…

      • diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Formation?

        Iheanacho for a 3-5-2, but with Evans and Fofana injured, Leicester can't put out 3 at the back and so switch to 4-2-3-1 which means Soumare / Perez / Albrighton and Barnes start instead of Iheanacho and Evans.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Got it, cheers Diesel…

      • Ramboros
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Absolutely nothing happened to Iheanacho. Iheanacho didn't perform last season as a lone striker. Vardy didn't perform last season while playing with Iheanach. Vardy is the better player, so Rodgers builds the team around him.

        It's hardly surprising that Rodgers wants to get the most out of Vardy. Rodgers got the job because his predecessor couldn't gel with Vardy.

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez,Veltman, Shaw, Benrahma, Greenwood and Ronaldo all start for me. Lets go!

    4. potatoace

      Vlasic up front

    5. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lol what is Moyes’ beef with Yarmolenko?

      Feels like even if his whole midfield was out he still wouldn’t start him

      So between Bowen, Vlasic and Benrahma for CF.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Final 6 players all start!
        Wahoo full 11.

        Give us a nice Brighton cleanie please.
        And a goal fest (not including Ronaldo).

        Whole game week is basically going to hinge on whether Bruno out scores Ronaldo for me (or at least breaks even)

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Goal fest and not including Ronaldo dont go together

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          All roads lead to Ronaldo.

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Was hoping they might push Fornals up a bit...guess not.

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pogba LWF

      West Ham are in for a shellacking

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Greenwood stays in the team even with Pogba left, haul incoming.

        1. AleksaMaster
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          When I wrote here 2 weeks ago that greenwood is the most nailed in attack after ronaldo and bruno no one believed it. 🙂

          1. Nanoelektronicar
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Had him from the start. Sancho hasnt delivered, that helped.

          2. Gunneryank
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Oh some of us did lad, be assured. He's been playing to good to drop.

        2. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He's been in even when Pogba slides back into center mid to be fair.

          1. Nanoelektronicar
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            But that leaves the free spot lol

            1. Gunneryank
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Which Ole has been using Sancho for lately (even though i think Sancho prefers the right side).

    8. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno time lads

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Many here have jumped ship

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I haven’t 🙂
          Shocking really

      2. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He’s a 4% owned differential for me.
        (At least in my bracket/area).
        Crazy.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I know! I really wanna keep him but will mean no Ron/Rom and Bamford & Antonio instead up top together

      3. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Time for him to slip silky balls into Mason and Ronnie! Yes I agree!

        1. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years

          Had to read that a couple of times LOL

        One can only hope.

        To blank 😛

    9. GE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What would you do here?

      (2FT, 0.9 itb)

      Sanchez
      TAA/Shaw/White
      Salah/Greenwood/Jota/Benrahma
      Ronaldo/Antonio/Toney

      Bench: Steele, Ayling, Gilmour, Williams

      1. Blunder fc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Burn a transfer simply because you can, show your mini league those big balls

        1. GE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Haha 🙂 maybe Toney out before his difficult fixture? To ASM? Or downgrade Toney to 4.5 for upgrading Gilmour?

      2. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        probably just get rid of ayling

      3. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Williams to Livra

        1. g40steve

          This,

    10. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ridiculous idea that Ronaldo wouldn't start today. Given Man U's supporter base, this is basically his first home game of the season.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Eh? Who said he wouldn't??

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          West Ham…London….Utd fans…. 😮

        Home game..?

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Playing at away Trafford?

      4. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I literally didn’t see one person on here all week suggesting he wouldn’t start.

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I literally saw no man walk into a pub!

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Alright, now I get it. Nice one.

      5. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years

        Who had that idea … first I’ve heard anyone say as such.

      6. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years

        Cheeeeeeky ….

        There's always a chance after Europe.

    11. Nightcrawler

      15k with Ronaldo Shaw Greenwood Sanchez + 5 autosub

      Top 10k tonight? Sure would LOVE to see it

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I have the exact same pending players and points.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          U probavly have a better rest of the team. Gotnso lucky with odegaard livramento

      2. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Oh YES we would!

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Goes without saying!

    12. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who scores more?

      A) Rudiger + Cancelo
      B) Antonio + rotation of Livramento, Duffy + Williams

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Good question

    13. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno changed from a "must have" to a major differential in a space of couple weeks due to the arrival of Ronaldo.
      Absolutely love the dynamics of this game.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I see him in that sterling / mane bracket nowadays

      2. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Next pen for United will decide Bruno's fate as fpl option.

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

      Brighton bench has Lamptey & Dan Burn. Webster will be back eventually.

      Duffy's Last Dance any week now.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        lamptey back at 4.4 will be a shoe-in

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Most overrated fpl pick ever.

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Shaw

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

          I have saved myself the temptation with Sanchez/Steele/Bissouma.

          Need to see he's properly fit and lasts 90 first, he's been out a while.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Could stay on merit. I was planning on chucking him for a Chelsea defender but it will likely be Semedo now. With Livramento looking nailed and capable of returning, I think it's safe to keep Duffy in reserve for a while.

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

          I doubt he will but yes not a priority transfer.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Switching both Duffy and Sanchez to Livra and McCarthy by GW9, and I still see no reason not to

          My hope is that Duffy stays starting on merit by GW8, for that Norwich game that promises headers

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I've worked out a neat little Sanchez/McC hokey-cokey, saving me money by not having 2x4.5 keepers in my squad whilst avoiding games against the Big Boys.

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Same 🙂

      3. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        never know, burn might be benched in the future

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

          Veltman/Dunk/Webster in that case.

    15. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pickford to Guita for free?
      Nice fixtures for Cry with Guita 2nd for saves right now.

    16. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Loved watching Lampety. I will put him right back in if he nails his place again.

    17. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      All I want is an early Leicester goal!

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Behave

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        All I want is NO Leicester goal!

      3. OLEgend
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        All I want is a Barnes 15 pointer

      4. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Reported

      5. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I don't know what I want from this game. Sanchez on bench, Dunk in starting XI. I guess losing CS and scoring a goal will be a good deal 😀

    18. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dont know whether to be happy benrahma starts, or sad I dont get Livra 5 pointer.

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

        Sad

      2. tokara
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Man up

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

        Depends on what Benrahma scores. His ownership won't all be getting 5 off the bench.

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

      Just need Duffy hat trick to save my gw

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        no mean feat
