Key FPL assets all start as Burnley face Liverpool

The eighth and final Premier League match of a busy Saturday kicks off at 17:30 BST, with Liverpool the visitors to Turf Moor.

The team news is very straightforward as there is just one change to the starting XIs in all: Aaron Lennon (£4.9m) replacing the injured Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£6.0m) on the right flank for Burnley.

Jurgen Klopp names the same 11 players who lined up for the victory over Arsenal last Saturday.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is the second-most-captained player of Gameweek 4, having been handed the armband by over one million FPL managers.

Liverpool put seven goals past the Clarets in their two meetings last season, with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) scoring three of them.

The Reds are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Sean Dyche’s side recorded a shut-out in their only previous home league game this season: against Southampton in Gameweek 1.

Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) has scored in each of his three league appearances this season and was bought by over 250,000 Fantasy bosses in the build-up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) was the second-most-sold defender of this current Gameweek, having been offloaded by over 190,000 FPL managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Lennon, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Barnes, Wood.

Liverpool XI: Adrían; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mané, Firmino.

            It’s a great move until Sterling next scores, just depends on how long that will be...

            Playing as a forward in Man City’s attack... probably soon 🙂

          Mane = away player
          Salah = home player

          Mane can use the space behind the defenders when the home team get confident about pushing forward.

          1.5 in the bank
          Siggurdsson => Pepe
          (or wait til after international break)

          However, this means my planned move of Ings to Haller will not happen - I reckon Pepe is the better option

          Obviously a Wood o.g. and I own TAA.

          TAA crosses it - it isn't going anywhere near the goal with the amount of curl on it so it isn't on target. It hits Wood which deflects it on target and in the goal.

              But we have options at fb at City. Waiting for Mendy eventually. Cancelo and Angelino also.

              If Laporte is out a while then I'm not interested in our def at all.

              TAA looks essential soon if they keep clean sheets again.

          Well there's no way it can be given as an OG because the deflection was much too early and the ball didn't change it's direction that much. But doesn't matter. TAA will get another assist in this game.
