Shaqiri back in the Liverpool attack as Klopp continues with a 4-2-3-1

The final match of Gameweek 14 is the third local derby of the day, with Everton making the short trip across Stanley Park to face Liverpool.

The Reds are unbeaten in the Premier League this season and have only conceded one goal in six top-flight matches at Anfield.

Marco Silva’s side have only lost one of their last seven Premier League fixtures, meanwhile, keeping four clean sheets along the way.

There were no major shocks upon the release of the teamsheets, with Everton indeed unchanged from the side that beat Cardiff City 1-0 in Gameweek 13.

Richarlison (£7.0m) leads the line for Everton again, with Yerry Mina (£5.4m) continuing at centre-back.

Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m) and Fabinho (£5.5m) all return to Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI after missing out in midweek, with the Reds looking like they will again line up in a 4-2-3-1.

This formation will presumably see Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) leading the line, with Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) dropping into “the hole” and Shaqiri playing out wide on the right.

Andrew Robertson (£6.5m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) also start for the third time in a week, while Joe Gomez (£5.1m) moves over to centre-back at the expense of Dejan Lovren (£4.9m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Gomes, Gueye, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Richarlison.

    Who would you keep for this GW? I want to get Sane.

    A) Hazard
    B) Salah

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keep Salah

    2. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      keep Salah. sell Haz. Think Sané will start on tuesday?

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ideally both .Hazard as will start for sure

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not so sure about that. Sarri mentioned that he could not play that many games in a week and he just came back from injury and played 90 min.

    4. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks. I dont know but I think Sane is a more certain starter than Hazard.

      1. AndyCook
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Not convinced by this.

    5. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard was bad?

      1. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not at all, was at the heart of everything good Chelsea did

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        players around him were

    6. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Which MID out of:

      A) Dilva
      B) Alli
      C) Eriksen

      have Kane and Sane from these teams...

      1. AndyCook
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Eriksen

      2. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        How's she looking for the next GW? 0.7 ITB, anything worth a hit? Was thinking Martial to Anderson

        Ryan
        Alonso Robertson AWB
        Salah (c) Sterling Martial Richarlison Fraser
        Auba Wilson

        Hamer Ings Doherty Bennett

        1. Bennison
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Nothing worth a hit

      3. glufs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Could make a decent team with Kane, Mane, Sane and Benalouane

      4. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Mane owners!
        Keeping or selling, and for whom?

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I m going to buy him instead Salah.

        2. Snooze ya lose
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Keep

      5. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        My worst move this season was bringing Aguero for GW 14 instead Laca. If I kept Laca i wouldnt have heaeache now how i can fit Laca and Kane in my squad without hits.

        1. AndyCook
            5 years, 4 months ago

            I would leave Lacazette

            1. Niho992
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              For his price he is best arsenal option. I can fit Auba without Kane

              1. AndyCook
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  That’s because Arsenal are without many good options. He’s too expensive for a player you couldn’t captain

                  1. Niho992
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    I captained Laca vs Fulham.

          • Absolutely Flabulous
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Aguero & Hazard >> Kane & Sane?

            What do we think?

            1. Snooze ya lose
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Sterling and auba for me

              1. Absolutely Flabulous
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Intriguing suggestion.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              I’ve been burnt by Kane twice b4

              1. Absolutely Flabulous
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Yes, so have I. He’s burnt me more often than i’ve burnt the sausages on the BBQ. And i’m a lousy cook with a short attention span.

              Yes, City are by far the best attacking team in the league.

          • Red Rock
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Best combo?

            A) Sane & £4.6m defender
            B) Son & Digne

              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Aright. Think Haz will be rested against Wolves given Sarri's quotes, and the fact that he played 90 today and they face MCI in the weekend.

            • 5 Years

            Isn’t Son a much better option than Eriksen currently, given their price gap?

            1. Niho992
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Son has bigger risk of risk.

              Auba if budget not an issue

            Struggling to understand the assist rules after this GW. Was Pickford awarded a save that led to the Origi goal? I wouldn't dispute the question of it being a shot but the Pickford touch changed the direction so it can't be a simple question of it being a rebound.

            Yesterday it seemed the ambiguity was whether there was a shot - despite a save being awarded.

            These are 6 point swings which won't be trivial in HTH leagues. It would be good to understand how the rules are being interpreted by FPL

              It’s just the same as saving it onto the post the scoring the rebound. Still an assist

            I just had a dream I woke up with 100 points. Obsessed much?

              I haven't hit 100 since 16/17 double gw

            RMWCD? DEF is light, but the best way I can get Sterling, Kane, and Auba in the same team

            Fab - Stek
            Robbo - Keane - Doherty - Wan Bissaka - Schindler
            Sterling - Mane - Felipe Anderson - Fraser - Jorginho
            Kane - Auba - Success
