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.

    Was going to play wildcard after next Gameweek but with 5 of my target players set to rise tonight do you think is should pull the trigger now ?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking the same.. Kane auba sane Anderson in for me.. Got 2 fts but might as well play my WC and prepare for Christmas

    3. Tommo1888
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      My only concern is removing salah before Fulham !

      1. Old Gregg
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Who’s Rising?

      2. AndyCook
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That’s not their fixture

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

      I would.

    5. eazy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Had the exact same problem and did it.

    6. tricpic
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Which five?

  2. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero + Hazard ---> Sane/Eriksen + Kane?

  3. Captain Warlock
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts ??
    Kun Haz & Arnie to
    Kane Anderson & Aubameyang for -4

    1. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nice!
      Go for it

    2. rowdog24
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Why would you get rid of Arnoutovic with his run of fixtures? Crazy in my view.

      1. Captain Warlock
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Getting Anderson (West Ham) instead

  4. XabiAlonso
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Richarlison > sane for free sound ok
    Gives me Salah Haz sane midfield
    Arnie auba Wilson upfront

  5. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    why get rid of Aguero for Auba who has united away?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Only 2 points between man United and Watford...

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Kneeeeejerk!

    3. Tommo1888
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Have you seen uniteds defence

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Have u seen maureen's record vs arsenal

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

          That was his record against Wenger

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Might be best to keep Kun

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      United conceded two against Southampton without their best striker.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        They defeated juve 2-1 at turin.They are a weird team and their manager says it all

        1. AndyCook
          7 years, 7 months ago

          There are more bad examples than good. Arsenal would expect to score but you are right it’s not a good fixture

    6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pure kneejerk.

  6. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah being subbed was tactical but do you think it increases his chances of starting against Burnley?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ofcourse

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Salah will get a rest at either Burnley or Bournemouth ahead huge napoli game

      1. Pieterke30
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Bournemouth then, not Burnley

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

          Why? Bournmouth a much tougher fixture.

          1. AndyCook
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Proximity to Napoli game?

        2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          burnley far easier than bouremouth tho.

  7. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Best combo here?

    A) Kane + Richarlison/Anderson
    B) Auba/Laca + Son

    1. AndyCook
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Son looks dangerous but big rotation risk and I think the Arsenal forwards will get rotated too

  8. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is having Son and Sane too much uncertainty?

    1. Tommo1888
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not whilst Mendy is out for city

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  9. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Which player to bring in first:

    A) Son
    B) Sane
    C) Robertson
    D) Eriksen

    1. Bennison
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      C or D

  10. Bennison
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    a

  11. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard to F Anderson looks good to me for the next two. Means a WHU triple up though, which is a head-frier.

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I've had triple wham for 4 gws now. Gone rather well

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Crazy if that’s your only transfer

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Can fund Laca to Kane, keeping Aguero in case he’s alright.

  12. Eastman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I think Aguero will start. Rested for the tougher fixture?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Unlikely to be fit

  13. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Tinkering with my wc, best striker up to 6.3m to go with Aubameyang and Arnie?

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Stretch to 6.6

      Mitrovic

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mitrovic has a fantastic Christmas schedule, but 6.6

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jiminez. But I'd go for Lacazette so you can afford Wilson

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

    Hazard + Aguero > Eriksen + Kane (C)

    yay or nay?

  15. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Dont like hits but this looks tempting for me
    Aguero Jimenez and Salah out
    Kane Auba and Fanderson IN

    For - 4

    Or

    Kane and Mane IN
    Aguero and Salah out

    For free.

    1. Udo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I am thinking Salah, Kun out for Aub, Anderson, and the following week Jimenez out and Kane in > 2FT this week, 1FT coming, no hit!

  16. Old Gregg
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Fab

    Robbo-Belbuena-wan Bis
    Haz-Sane-Richa-martial
    Kun-arnie-Wilson

    Hamer- Doherty- delefeou- Boly

    I know it’s not too bad but WC now?.

    Will do Kun > Kane 1FT

  17. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    We reckon martial starts the next two after rest at the weekend?

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yea

  18. konrad.sygula95
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What would you change in that team ?
    i still have WC at my disposal but i don't know whether it is the right time to use it.

    Patricio
    Dunk Robertson Alonso Digne
    Maddison Hazard Salah Richarlison
    Arnie Aguero

    Subs: Fabianski Hojberg Awb Success

    1ft 0.1 itb

  19. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) Hazard + Aguero -> Sterling + Auba
    B) Hazard + Aguero + Martial -> Sterling + Kane + Anderson (-4)

  20. EgyptianKing
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kun, Hazard and Martial out // Kane, Sane and Son in (-4)

    Seem good?

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else feel Robertson will be rested?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldnt pinpoint any asset but klopp will rotate hugely for burnley as its the only game in this run he can confidently win with his second-string side

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

      GW16 more likely

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Its high possability he will be rested for 1 of the next 2 games. They have Napoli after that they need to wib.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        My thoughts as well

    4. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes (owner). He's definitely due one & I think this will be the game.

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

      Yes
      Either this GW or the next

  22. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    That Origi goal cost me 8 points, including 7 from Digne off the bench (for Walker).

    Worth it though pals. 😀

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same here 70gw score became 62 🙁

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Stings badly.Tactically moved digne to first sub ahead of fraser as i thought it would be tight but all in vain at the end.Moved from 68 to 61.Since pool have won atleast hope salah or mane gets rested midweek which might not been the case had pool drew.

  23. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    How is this?

    Alli Sane Sterling Richarlsion Anderson
    Arnie Aubameyang Jimenez

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Where is Kane?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh I posted before maybe I be less stubborn and use Aubameyang and Sterling as my (c) but really I can't see to far past Aubameyang and Kane upfront rotating (c), but going without Kane gives me a solid midfield , I also said before this is getting difficult, decisions decisions

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Really dont like Alli pick btw. Hes overpriced.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Son?

    3. AndyCook
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wonderful

  24. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Salah and vardy > Kane and sane ?
    Will do hazard and success > aubameng and cairney following week ?
    All that seem good ?

  25. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    a) Aguero + Robertson --> Kane + TAA (2 f/t)
    b) Aguero ---> Auba

    If I go with a) I'd wildcard the following week to bring Auba in for his good run of fixtures.

    The Hazard/Sterling/Sane/Kane/Auba discussion.....

    Ok... So- this has to be the toughest part of the season coming up- trying to second guess managers and rotation and all the rest of it is probably impossible. I guess we just have to make calculated moves based on what we know and what trends have been.

    Aguero drops tonight in price.... supposedly may not be fit to play this week.
    Most will now look to Auba for a straight swap ( who rises tonight) or Kane.

    Kane doesn't usually get rested- look at this as a Tuesday night CL game. Kane plays weekends and then plays mid week- usually the 90. Also has Southampton at home despite his form supposedly not being great- he has bagged points in the last 4. The worry is Barcelona the following week in the CL- however i don't see Poch resting him on the weekend either- he may not play the 90 vs Leicester with that fixture in mind. ( prob not a Cpt choice that week anyways).

    Auba- The tougher fixture of United away and then it turns pretty decent. A man on form and leading the golden boot race who is set to rise tonight is tough to overlook. For the simple reason- I wouldn't know which other offensive Arsenal player to bring in with their run coming up other than Lacca... Should be nailed to start the next few- United without a defence does make this fixture stand out more than just on paper.

    Man city---- There is NO guarantee that Sterling or Sane start this week especially with Chelsea on the weekend. If you haven't bought in Sterling as yet... I really wouldn't suggest it. Sane seems more likely to play with Pep's post match comments and without Mendy creates the width City look for on that left flank.. Also--- every game Sane has started this season he has given returns!

    Hazard has been off the ball recently- Wolves away and then City at home... I can justify making way for Sane for him or dropping him for someone else- the questions is who would that someone else be? Alli/ Eriksen/ Son.... I don't know which of these 3 looks most nailed and form doesn't suggest all of them.

    The question is:
    Auba or Kane?
    Sterling/ Sane/ Alli/ Eriksen or Son?

    If you go Kane... what Arsenal cover can you consider?

    I am going Aguero and Hazard to Auba and Sane this week....

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

      Im going Kane (C) this week and getting Auba in beside Kane on WC.
      Im also probably getting either Alli or Sane for Hazard.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero to kane already done.
      Just got to decide on Haz >sterling/sane or richarlison>sane

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Auba and Eriksen/Son for me.

    4. AndyCook
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal full backs look nice stacking options but unfortunately they can’t keep a clean sheet. Other than that it’s barren. I think Aubameyang will get curtailed game time because Lacazette can score goals and Arsenal should beat many of these teams with or without him. Having said that he could score from the bench.

      1. AndyCook

    On WC and need your opinions.

    Mane / Sane / Sterling / Eriksen / Camaras
    Kane / Arnie / Jimenez

    B) Sell Mane and invest in defence?
    C) Other?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years

      Mane to Siggy and double Liverpool def with Robertson could work

  29. Pukki Party

    Two different ways to get Spurs coverage, which do you prefer?

    Lossl
    Alonso TAA Digne Doherty Lovren
    Salah Haz Siggy 4.5 4.5
    Aguero Arnie Jimenez

    A) Aguero, Haz to Kane, Sterling 433

    Cheers.

  30. Catastrophe

    Help greatly appreciated....2 FT

    Hennessey
    Alonso, Robertson, Laporte, AWB
    Hazard, Salah, Richarlison
    Aguero, Arnautovic, Jimenez

    (Patricio, Doherty, Masuaku, Hojbjerg)

    Thinking Salah & Richarlison -> Mane & Sane, then Aguero and Hazard out for Sterling and Auba/Kane next week?

    Thinking Hazard and Aguero will start midweek.

    Cheers.
