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.

    Mane + Aguero ---> Sane + Kane (-4) ??

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Im doing Haz and Kun to these 2...

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

        Same. Aguero and Hazard >> Kane and Sané.

        Good moves?

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

      That could so easily backfire if Aguero’s fit. I brought Sane in for Haz, but would keep Mane for another week if I were you.

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

        Will he play against Burnely? Im WC'd him out the week after

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

          I’d be surprised if he didn’t. Seems no more likely than Sane to be rested in any case?..

  2. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    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..

  3. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    2FTs

    Just Haz + Kun -> Sané + Kane for me, I think.

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      My moves this week as above...

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

      Have u Salah?? If so why u keeping him instead.

  4. Oh Mane Mane
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I bought Aguero at 11.3, I can sell for 11.4. He’s currently 11.5 but what can I sell him for if he drops tonight?

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

      11.3

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      11.3

  5. SKENG
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What's the latest info on Aguero? Do we have any news indicating whether he'll play or not vs Watford?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't risk it.... Huge rotation on the cards with him now.. not worth the stress and no longer a captain option.

    2. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like he's training with the team but that doesn't mean he'll start. Everything tells me Gabriel is going to start and Kun might play 20 minutes.

      I wouldn't keep him even if he started, he's been terrible away from home this season.

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

    Ings + Salah
    >
    Auba + Siggy (-4)

    ?

  7. JamieC180
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Just activated Wildcard! Exciting times. Thoughts?

    Fabianski
    Alonso - Laporte - Robertson - TAA
    Sterling - Eriksen - Sane - Richarlison
    Arnie - Auba
    (Hamer, Camarasa, AWB, Success)

    Just a first draft. Gonna have to keep Hazard and Salah out, though, as would be a waste of value to bring 'em back in...

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

      Yeah man looks really nice. Not sure why you'd get Eriksen tho

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

      Oh also I would rather have Ederson than Laporte. Ederson was top scoring City def last year and he will be again this year.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Balbuena and Ederson is a better move for Laporte and Fab...

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

          Yes...

    3. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Downgrade Robbo.... Downgrade Eriksen and get Kane into that front 3 and you are GOLD! Sane to Mane to cover liverpool.

  8. Nightf0x

    2 ft, salah jimenez to

    A- auba alli/son
    B- kane anderson
    C- martial out too -4 to fraser

  9. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Only way I can get kane is to do drop one of salah or sterling and for a -4

    Best to go without right? Hold here?

    henny
    robbo - alonso - pereira
    salah(c) - mane - sterling - sane - fraser
    jiminez - arnie

    hamer - awb - doherty - success

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

      Dropping Salah is the obvious move. Hes a waste(of money)man

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I know that.. but in my head..

        Its burnley...

  10. CelticBhoy1

    Chances of Sterling being rested on Tues?

    1. Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      High

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

      Quite high imo. But it's Pep so who knows.

      Don't buy, don't sell.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        this

      2. jg7u
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        How about when on a wildcard? 🙂

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Personally I would buy but not sell, over the season he’ll be immense, he won’t take watford away lightly

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

      Young fit lad. He could play until he shows signs of being tired. 30% chance of being benched imo.

  11. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So many good captain options(Hazard,Salah,Sterling,Kane,Kun) this week but anyone could get a rest.I think that Arnie,Wilson or Richarlison are more safe options.Currently on Richarlison.Really good performance today.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kane will play for sure.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        haza too

      2. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I am not so sure.He played against Inter,Arsenal and has Sou,Lei and Barca in the next 9 days.

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

      i think kane and hazard are the best options due to nailedness.Obviously pool have burnley but rotation imminent

  12. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    IdK why i think i need Kane for Soton game but i think. Headache.

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Same.

  13. eazy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Rate my WC team:

    Fab (4.0)
    TAA, Alonso, AWB (Boly, Peltier)
    Sterling, Sane, Anderson, Richarlison (Gunnarsson)
    Auba, Kane, Jimenez

    0.0 itb. Thinking of taking the risk with only two playing bench players since I don't really want to downgrade anyone. Thoughts?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No Liverpool v Burnley is going to hurt

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

        I have TAA 😀 No but seriously I agree but cant find a reasonable spot for any. What would you do?

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

      I think you need to choose between Kane and Auba. Use the funds to improve that bench you're gonna need when players get rested.

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

        I think Peltier is the only real problem. The Wolves options and Gunnarsson are probably okay for their prices.

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

    1.2 in the bank, what do you reckon? Jimmy->Wilson or Kun->Kane pehaps?

    Ederson
    Alonso TAA AWB
    Mane Sane Haz Rich
    Kun Arnie Jimmy

    Hamer Hojbjerg Doherty Zanka

  15. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Please choose the best option for long term.

    1. Hazard + Diangana
    2. Eriksen + Pedro (-4)

  16. Scouserso
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I guess I have 3 options now..firmino—>auba, firmino+hazard—>auba+eriksen or firmino+hazard—>Kane+Anderson(already have arnie)
    Which one looks the best?

  17. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Save FT? Then Aguero to Auba for Arsenal vs Hudders at home?

    Ryan
    Alonso | TAA | Coleman | AWB
    Sterling | Mane | Richarlison | Fraser
    Kane | Aguero*

    Button | Doherty | Kenedy | Success

    1FT, 0ITB

    Thanks

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

  18. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ryan Alonso Bennett Hazard Deulofeu Aguero Arnautovic TO Fabianksi Digne Awb Sane Anderson Kane Aubameyang worth a WC you think?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Alonso is a season keeper

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Needs must. Still have a respectable Robertson TAA Digne Doherty Awb defense Though.. That being Said I could downgrade Robertson instead

  19. TAT
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Would you get Kane if not (C) him? I know he's the obvious transfer to make for Kun (with Sterling coming in too), but I just know I'll end up giving the armband to Sterling.

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

      I wouldn't bring Kane in if I'd have Salah.

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Don't have Salah (unfortunately – given upcoming fixtures).

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

          Yea me neither, brought Sterling back in. So planning to go Kane (c) next GW and then reassess

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Seems like a good plan. Kane worries me; he score today of course – but it was just a penalty. He also seemed slow, losing a sprint against Sokratis. Auba was all over the place.

  20. vanillasky639
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    hazard, aguero, shaqiri > sterling lacazete son?

    thoughts and opinions on these transfers for -4?

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

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

    or

    B) Aguero > Auba (hope Martial plays)

  22. Triple P
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who to downgrade in order to get funds for my transfers? Just 1 is needed.

    A) Martial > Armstrong
    B) Martial > Townsend
    C) Martial > Other mid (5.8 max)
    D) Alonso > Coleman
    E) Alonso > Pereira/Chilwell
    F) Alonso > Other def (5.2 max)
    G) Vardy > Wilson
    H) Vardy > Other att (7.2 max)

    Any thoughts much appreciated!

  23. FantasyMug
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Do we think Aubameyang will rise 0.2 before GW15?

    Can do Hazard + Kun -> F. Anderson + Kane this week and Salah + Jimenez -> Sterling + Auba next week, providing Sterling doesn’t rise before Tuesday and Auba doesn’t rise by 0.2

    Cheers!

  24. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Dudes Haz and Salah are still the better choice for Midweek. After it yeah I agree get Sterling Salah Auba etc 🙂

  25. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who's the most nailed out of the big captain options?

    Kane surely?

    1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kane
      Sane
      Auba/ Sterling

  26. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Kane v Hampton defence last season, anyone.

  27. Tempestic
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is Lacazette a good option for gw 16?

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

    Chances Sane will start against Watford on Tuesday evening?

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

      80%

    2. Claudio555
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe rested for Chelsea game on sat

  29. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Just took a -8

    Aguero, Hudson-Odoui & Robertson

    For

    Aubameyang, F.Anderson & TAA

    Patricio
    VVD, TAA, Alonso
    Hazard, Sane, Sterling, F.Anderson
    Aubameyang, Arnautovic, Wilson

    Kane doesn’t look worth 12.3 million to me but he could easily make me pay for those words

  30. Up the tics
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Which one should i downgrade to get either kane for -4 or aubameyang for free?

    Salah or hazard

    1. Udo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Out of those two, I'd say Haz.
