Andrew Robertson and Luis Diaz are substitutes, while Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are not in the squad.

Ralph Hasenhuttl, meanwhile, makes five changes.

Alex McCarthy comes in for the injured Fraser Forster, while there are also starts for Lyanco, Jack Stephens, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Nathan Tella.

    Why does Tsimikas look so tired? He rarely plays.

      Can't last longer than 70mins is one of his issues

      Still recovering from scoring that penalty.

      Exactly. Should be in bed by now.

    5. Utopsis

      Not match fit

      Let’s be honest that’s pretty hard

    Does this mean that none of the trolls on here get Klopp's job even though they are all super experts?

    That thing where the guy you took out on a FH scores a goal...

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes but we'd all do the same again. And again.

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      You have around 30 free hit circulators all week

    Matip owners are a bunch of jammy a holes

    1. Monklane
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not really. I anticipated TAA not playing and brought him in.
      Seems like a good move to me.

    2. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That would be me my good sir

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

      2. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        And this time it’s personal

  9. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    What a second half to the season Matip has had

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He better have some points left in 38

      1. HTL
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        He’d better play, full stop

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Damn it Sheffield 3-3

  11. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    Hold!

  12. Pia06rc
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is the following worth a -4 for GW38

    TAA + Rodrigo —> Tsimikas + Kane

    Would give me

    Pickford
    Tsimikas James Laporte
    Zaha KDB Foden Son
    Kane Toney Nketiah

    White Gordon Cash

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Tsmi unlikely to start on sunday

  13. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    This is a joke its like a non league side utter shambles get on Soton to drop next year

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Them and Wolves have been horrendous, how they’ve accumulated enough points to survive has skipped my memory!

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Getting to play Villa helped each cause

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Saints will survive as usual, like a crusty Gloria Gaynor clingon.

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        crusty Gloria Gaynor clingon

        That’s punk rock AF

    3. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      It’s certainly mae me realise I need two Leicester for 38

  14. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which one ?

    A) Kane + Son -8pts
    B) Son + Bowen -4pts

    1. Bonus magnet
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      The latter

  15. George James
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best punt for GW38?

    A) Foden

    B) Mount

    C) Maddison

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Between C & B - both teams should be amongst the goals so just have to hope you pick the right horse

    3. Tsssst
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      D) IAZ

    4. George James
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Cheers all. Yes Diaz is a shout

    5. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      B definitely after watching that Southampton side tonight

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Don’t you mean C?

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Sorry yes c Maddison! I’m even contemplating swapping Kane to vardy after watching that muck

  16. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I have a question. How did Barnsley get from almost being in the Premier league to relegated from the championship the very next season?

  17. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    90 for Jota get your blanket ready for Sunday fella

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Haul by Broja’s standards

  19. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Play A) sa (liv) or b) foster or use Ft to replace?

  20. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Lyanco stealing a wage as s PL defender

  21. JBG
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    This certainly means that Diaz starts Sunday, right?

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Full strength bar injuries id say but maybe reduced minutes for several

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not a guarantee. Could be Salah, Mane & Jota/Firmino. Probably more likely Dias plays than Salah though.

  22. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    This is frustrating as jota owner lol.

    In so many good positions and not getting picked out!

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Glad I only have him on FH

  23. Drumandbaines123
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Yesss Robbo stays on the bench. Sweet sweet 11 point bench jam from Ait-Nouri.

    1. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nice! In same boat but getting Matip. My wife started Ait-Nouri this week

    2. Drumandbaines123
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nice one. Matip on for an 11 pointer too with bonus

      1. RedGunPowder
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Nice one..Played Diaz my first sub Maddison..

  24. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Are people keeping salah or selling and if so who for? Thanks

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If still injured or expected to be on the bench he will go for Son.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeh son great pick but sorry should have said already got gim

  25. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Getting Jota on FH feels like a massive waste in hindsight. If there was any inkling that Klopp would rotate anywhere near as much as this I would have just punted on a doubler

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      You got 90 against total garbage Pool just very wasteful even minus the names

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Matching Son and KDB combined atm

    3. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah yeah, we're all feeling your pain. Many like myself went Diaz so dry your eyes fella.

  26. Tsssst
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Those with Jota not on FH, we're shifting him out for GW38 right?

  27. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Lol looking for a kwp towering header

  28. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who is more essential for GW38:

    1. Kane [have Son]
    2. KDB [have Cancelo]

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane route is (-4)*

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Defo 1

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Even for the -4 ?

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yes, If you C

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Between him and your Korean bestie

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              I think if you decide to get him for a hit, best to try and warrant it is captain.

              The way I see it is it’s Norwich

              1. FCSB
                • 8 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                That’s a dilemma for another day haha

                I think I’ve made my choice with Kane though

      2. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Defo can’t say defo. KDB could very well do well against Villa.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Look at my name…

  29. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Sunday is going to be effing fascinating!!! Can’t wait

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I would - 5 goals needed for golden boot and it’s not beyond him!

    Stumbled on an fpl account on twitter today and just have to shout him out purley for his avatar/logo.

    Its genius, he's called fpl eire (Irish for ireland)
    I had to go and look at the official logo when I saw it.

    1. thegame983
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I have to say, that is pretty wizard

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Lol, i know right, I've got no idea how he stumbled on it.

        Looking at the logo sideways and it just hit him maybe.
