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.

    If there is any Salah owner left here.

    Captain him against Burnley?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      o/

      Salah (c) locked.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'll probably captain Kane but happy to own Mo for that fixture.

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes and yes.

    4. Jules Rimet
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah Captain Salah next game.

    5. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Never been more of an obvious choice. Leave the kane owners behind

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

      I probably will...not sure if my other option Sterling will start

    7. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am but I really want to get him out for Felipe Anderson so I can get Auba for Arnie next week and also upgrade Balbuena to Trent.

      Trent, Fleipe and Auba all rising but surely it's stupid to take out Salah against Burnley?

      1. KGFC
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Don't you think Salah could be rested for midweek?

    8. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, one of my easier captain choices this season. He still looked dangerous today and while I don’t think the early sub was to save him for midweek, it won’t do any harm!

  2. EgyptianKing
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Really need some advice here. What should I do? Feeling that I’ll suffer a LOT from rotation midweek

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robertson, Bissaka
    Mane, Hazard, Sterling, Martial, Rich
    Kun, Jimenez

    Hamer, Balbuena, Holebas, Kamara

    2 FT, 0.2 itb

    Cheers all!

  3. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Why no Lovren on the bench? Trent worth aquiring as I still have no Liverpool defensive cover?

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I did Lov > TAA this week. Served me well so far.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Resting for Burnley, going to be a long night of kicks and elbows.

  4. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    First time ever that all of my players returned points. And that's with a five man defence!

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah ?

  5. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Aguero to Kane
    B) Aguero and Martial to Aubameyang and Sane (-4)

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

  6. Tickle Me Enzo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Siggy or F. Anderson & why?

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy. Really good stats

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Anderson, sea of green fixtures + form.

    3. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Anderson. Better fixtures and form.

  7. GoonerRed
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Excellent week. Sterling as captain, 5 defenders kept clean sheets too. Was 4 points off top before this GW, now Im 10 ahead in 1st.

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Subtle

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Okay

    3. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      4 defenders and my goal keeper kept clean sheets for me. Doherty scored too.

    4. GoonerRed
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry if it seems like Im bragging, Im just chuffed.

  8. Norsemen
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I'm thinking about playing WC. Would appreciate some suggestions

    Current Team:

    Patricio Hamer
    Alonso Robbo Doherty Benett WBA
    Salah Sterling Richarlison Fraser Diangana
    Anie Agüero Murray

  9. Ibra
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    62 points this week. Is it decent? What's your score?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Decent enough. I got 55.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Was 8 points higher and very respectable until the last few seconds of that game...

    3. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Better than me. 57

      • Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        76 for me

      • Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        67 after autosubs

    4. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kane to sit out SOU or lei? Needs to be fresh for Barcelona away

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        For me it would more likely be Southampton game but really don’t take our opinions seriously we don’t know

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It's easier on paper, but lei is closer to the Barca game.

      2. Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Might sit out both

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          That would be surprising.

      3. I Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think he plays both.

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, perhaps just subbed early

      4. No Professionals
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs don't take kane off when they are cruising in games, don't seem to value resting him

    5. One for All
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A: Salah(Burnley)
      B: Aubameyang(Man Utd)
      C: Arnautovic(Cardiff)

      Who to captain?

      I'm thinking Salah is off form but Burnley were terrible, Aubemayang also a great pick against a leaky Man Utd defence.

      1. Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely not C. Cardiff are very good defense

      A) Aguero -> Kane
      B) Aguero -> Auba
      C) Save

      Who to captain?

      1. Goonsquad245
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        B, sterling

      2. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Think I’d save. Only problem is who to captain due to Pep roulette. Might normally lead me to recommend bringing Kane in... but how gutted would you be if Kane’s rested (unlikely but not inconceivable) and Aguero hauls?

      Mane, Sterling, Richarlison, FAnderson
      Kane (C), Murray

      Hart; WBis, Jiminez, Billing

      Looking at Arnie/Fab next but neither worth a hit, although Hart>Fab is tempting.

    11. Chip Butty

      2 FT: Aguero + Firmino --> Aubama + Arnie?

    12. Ian Davis
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A) Martial / Aguero > Francis / Kane (-4)

      or

    13. Niho992

      Will Mane start vs Burnley what you think?

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years

        Kane for me. Less risk of rotation.

      2. MTPockets

          Aguero

        Pickford can't possibly be that bad. My current suspicion is that Hotdogs for Tea has hacked the Matrix at the last second https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/19358655

      6. DeathoftheParty

        Help please

        1) Kane or Auba
        2) Sane or Ericksen

        I have Aguero and Sterling but no Arsenal or Spurs coverage

        Thanks

      9. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        So do we think Laca will start the next game? In that case, will it affect Auba's game time?

        1. Styles_X
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          both will play

        2. Uncle John from Jamaica
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          To me Laca is one you may sell after a few weeks as he isn’t playing enough.

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

        I was planning on selling Hazard to either Sane or Son, but both are rotation risks. Which one is more likely to play tuesday/wednesday you think?

        1. Jules Rimet
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          no freakin idea

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years

          Get Sterling. Set and forget.

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

            already have Sterling...either a double up on Man.City or a Spurs mid

            1. My Name Is Pepu
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Double up

        Hazard, Sane, Sterling
        Aguero, Arnautovic, Wilson

        1transfer, 1.9 in bank

        A) Aguero & Patrício > Aubameyang & Ederson
