The Gameweek begins in some style. A Merseyside derby bubbles at Goodison with a whole cast of Fantasy assets on show. The headline act is Luis Suarez, who returns to domestic duty after helping seal Uruguay’s World Cup place, sporting the armband for an army of Fantasy managers, banking on further heavy returns. The likes of Leighton Baines and Romelu Lukaku supply a supporting cast in a match that promises plenty, with the underlying potential to boil over with each and every stray tackle. It should be fascinating.

Daniel Sturridge’s omission from the names above comes as a result of him being benched by Brendan Rodgers. With the Liverpool boss revealing that the striker has been struggling with a leg injury, he opts to rest him to the timber, drafting Joe Allen into his midfield. Another huge blow for those holding Sturridge over Suarez. Elsewhere in the Liverpool lineup, John Flanagan is given the nod over Aly Cissokho in defence in the absence of the injured Jose Enrique. As for Everton, they make just one change but it’s a significant one – Fantasy favourite Ross Barkley makes a return to the starting XI with Leon Osman making way to the bench.
