The Gameweek begins within the cauldron of Goodison Park and a Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.

From a Fantasy perspective, the main interest surrounds absent friends as Mohamed Salah misses out with a groin injury and Roberto Firmino is rested to the bench.

That pair are the two most-owned players in Fantasy Premier League, though they were also the most sold ahead of today’s deadline.

Even with those sales, over 1.9 million managers still own both Salah and Firmino and will now be looking to their bench for reinforcement.

Liverpool make five changes in all, with Andrew Robertson another to miss out. A calf problem puts pay to the left-back who, like Salah, goes into Tuesday’s Champions League second leg with Manchester City as a doubt.

Robertson was brought in by 61,000+ managers ahead of Gameweek 32, making him the third-most bought defender last time out.

Sadio Mane does start for the visitors and will go in search of his sixth successive return having produced three goals and three assists over his last five Gameweeks.

As for Everton, they make just one change, though Fantasy interest in their line-up is much reduced following the blanks of Gameweek 31. Wayne Rooney (10.1%) remains their most owned player, with Jordan Pickford (7.9%) likely to be the most popular among active squads.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Firmino has been brilliant since selling on WC 🙂

    Fml Pickford on bench. Firmino 1 pointer

    Morale of the story :

    Without MO, Liverpool score no MO !

    All those complaining about the points you missed in this game because of your WC, you must think that you already prepared your team for next week. Only after that can you see if it was worth it or not.

      8 years, 27 days ago

      Don't understand your sentences, really, but an Everton CS was hardly expected, was it. I carried Baines and Coleman for ages, and WCed earlier than I wanted to due to the leaked Liverpool lineup. Let me take some joy in complaining about the waste of money and energy I've put into supporting the Everton trolls

    Firmino looked absolutely shattered even though he played a few minutes.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Similar team next Saturday.

      Tuesday will be draining in every which way!

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      not surprising i suppose...
      man im sh**ting about the 2nd leg

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

      But he'll score a hatrick against Bournemouth in GW34

    any news on why he’s not in the squad?

    1. Bubbles1985

      You and me both!

  9. Krafty Werks

    8 years, 27 days ago

    I'm in 2nd in main cash ML, just checked the guy in 1st team, he kept Salah, Mane and Firmino and has DCL to come in for Salah...nice start...for me 😉

  10. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 27 days ago

    I dunno how they calculate their odds for "doubts" but they're way off. 3 players on 75% to play and none of them play. That's around a 1.5% chance...

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      They go off the comments for managers. Tells you something

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      You're forgetting that the 75% is the chance of them being available rather than the chance of starting or playing (even though it does say 'play'). They aren't insinuating that everyone without a flag is guaranteed to play. Obviously, players can still be on the bench or not in the squad for reasons other than injuries.

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 27 days ago

    Who needs Eriksen, Alli, Hazard, Son or Mahrez. I've got Salah and more time to think

  12. Jayv807
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 27 days ago

    Bavies, going to be a 1 point cameo isn’t it? VVD waiting to come in for me, but I just know Bavies will come on to play a minute or two....

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      I sense this, unfortunatelly

    2. JJJ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Why bench VVD?

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years

    Smalling or Christensen for the double?

    1. Epic Fail

    After that result it is mathematically impossible for Liverpool to win the league #nextyear

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Man City can still be docked points.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years

        Tapping up Pogba

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        Liverpool should be docked points after the team they just put out

        1. Rover
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 27 days ago

          Why? With Salah and Robertson injured and Firmino rested, they played their strongest XI (maybe bar Ox)

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years

    Kevin De Bruyne,Fernandinho David Silva,Leroy Sane,Kyle Walker NOT in the squad to face fierce rivals Manchester United tonight. Foden,Diaz and Nmecha have been named in the 18 man squad. [ESPN]

        BRILLIANT if true - guy ahead of me in biggest money league captained Silva. 😀 😀

      Good call, I need to press it before I forget.

        Well, BB for me, but still.

    2. Pat Bonner

      Sanchez captain?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        Will decide closer to deadline.

        No clue now.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      1. pundit of punts

        If you WCed in 32 then BB surely as your team is set up that way?

    4. Ghost Gooner

      TC for me

  17. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 27 days ago

    Sky interviewer asking whether Karius feels like he's on trial. What a stupid question. It's almost as if they don't watch games. Pickford hasn't set the world alight at Everton either. No trial questions for him?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Glad Karius didn't miss a step and had a good comeback

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 8 Years

      Makes me so mad I could trash a bus!

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Probably something to do with Klopp having dropped him for Mignolet before.

      I don't think it's that unreasonable a question, in some senses he is being trialed to show he's definitely the man for the job ahead of Migs (and has done so, so far).

      English players escape any criticism

        Yeah that's a fallacy.. lol

          • 14 Years

          That interviewer asks some strange questions for sure...

    1. Pat Bonner

      Where?

  29. barracuda

    Do we think Davies will rotate in GW34 too?

    1. Deulofail

      75%

    2. Pat Bonner

    1. grumpyman

      I hope so, just brought him in. He's my one WC gamble.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Presser is key. Dyche doesn't tend to change the team much if they're doing well.

      1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 27 days ago

        Dyche is probably going to say he's touch and go and proceed not to play him for the rest of the season.

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      Even if he makes it, I can't see him playing both games. He has been a nightmare selection in my wc

    4. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 27 days ago

      I'm taking him out for a hit. Swapping Auba to Vardy so will use funds.
