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.

    Considering Anderson instead of Spurs mid, regardless of price. Have Arnie

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

      Same. I think the loss to Arsenal would affect Spurs. Meanwhile Felipe Anderson has been really good recently + has nice fixtures coming up.

  2. AndyCook
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What’s more annoying - a good FPL team with almost no viable FPL options (Arsenal, Chelsea) or one with too many options to get the right one (City, Spurs)?

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

      'too many options' for sure. Makes the game tougher and more interesting.

    2FT

    This week - Aguero & Hazard -> Kane & Sane

    Next week - Salah & Richarlison -> Mane & Sterling

    Any good?

    Cheers.

    Current team

    Patricio/Hamer
    Robertson/AWB/Doherty/Alonso/Peltier
    Fraser/Sterling/Salah/Richarlison/Martial
    Aguero/Arnie/Kamara

    0.8 ITB. I don't mind my team but currently have no bench for the upcoming fixtures.

    Was thinking of doing something like Martial/Aguero to F.Anderson/Kane(c)

    Or I could make the below WC team with 0.0 ITB. Several people going up so would have to be tonight, or could make a similar team in GW16.

    Fabianski/Hamer
    Robertson/AWB/TAA/Alonso/4.4
    F.Anderson/Sane/Alli/Richarlison/Hogg
    Kane/Auba/Arnie

    Thoughts?

      I like ur wildcard looks so good

    2. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mane for Alli... you have covered Spurs...
      Downgrade robbo to make that happen as you have eTAA

      1. Sir_Durs8
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        TAA is already in the WC team, so would have to downgrade someone else to do Alli to Mane.

      2. Sir_Durs8
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry, just re-read your message. With Liverpool's defensive record, what's wrong with a double up? I guess I could keep Doherty or bring in Digne.

        But I think I prefer Robertson/Alli over Digne or Doherty/Mane.

  5. Whazza
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A. Kun->Kane
    B. Haz, Jimenez->Brooks, Kane -4?

  6. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    In order to find Kane:

    Robbo > Digne/keane (have TAA)

    D Silva > B Silva/siggi/Anderson (will have no other city/have arnie)

    Salah > sterling (seems likely sterling will be benched whereas salah will likely play)

    Alonso > stones/Luiz

    ?

  7. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A Salah to Sterling
    Or
    B Hazard to Sane

    Kun to Kane anyway!

  8. HD7

    December team:
    Thoughts?

    Fab
    Digne Alonso Bellerin WanB
    Sterling Anderson Alli
    Auba Arnie Kane

    Subs: Button, Kenedy, Camarassa, Schindler

  9. Niho992

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Do I need Lpool cover for next few GWs?

    Salah and Aguero OUT Fanderson/Sane/Eriksen/Alli/ and Kane IN

    If I bring Mane instead Salah then i havent enough cash to bring Laca instead Jimenez for GW 16.

    What should I do fellas??

    Lpool or Arsnl cover?

    1. AndyCook
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Cover Arsenal

  10. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 7 months ago

    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. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Will sane rise before the deadline?

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

        100%

    2. gringo1000
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I did the same transfer, wonder if we will regret. Too late, done now 🙂 Good luck.

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

      Looking at having both Auba and Kane. However wouldn't allow me any Liverpool attacking cover

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It’s either Salah or Aubameyang for me...

  11. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 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....

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

    Have Hazard

    A) Bring in Sterling for one of my FT's

    B) Hold

  13. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone know if there will be any pressers for the midweek games?

  14. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I’ll take a 69 this week...

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

      Same, unless Rich is in for any bps

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

      I'd take it any week.

  15. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I imagine this will be a popular question for a lot of people but..
    Aguero to Kane for a free
    or keep Aguero? (I also have Aub and Sterling)

  16. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kane is an obvious captain choice this week... the others with rotation will make you sweat....

  17. Woy of the Wovers
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Why did VVD get an assist but Sane didn't ?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 7 months ago

      subjectivity

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        There's certainly some subjectivity in the Sane case - although the save point stands as evidence to support an assist.

        For VVD I can't see the convoluted logic that leads to an assist.

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 7 months ago

          As TM says below, one assessed as a pass the other a shot (I don't know on the save thing)
          Opta assist assessment is annoying, and with Sane captain particularly annoying, but done now.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Shot vs pass by OPTA.

  18. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aubameyang or Kane (-4) ?

    1. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Auba

    2. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve gone auba

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

      What are you thinking on his decision??

  19. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero

    CP : 11.5
    SP : 11.2
    PP : 11.0

    If he loses 0.1 in value, ever will be my SP?

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

      What*

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

        It wont change. For every 0.2 he goes up, u gain 0.1. You buy him at 11.0, if he goes to 11.4 you gain 0.2. If he goes to 11.5, u still only gain 0.2.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Still 11.2m

    3. Richd
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      11.2 still

    4. MTPockets
      7 years, 7 months ago

      11.2 unchanged

    5. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      At what CP will I start losing value then?

      1. AndyCook
        7 years, 7 months ago

        When he drops to 11.3 you will lose 0.1 and then again when he drops to 11.1 you will lose 0.1

        1. AndyCook
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Then any drops at all below 11 you will lose the whole amount of the drop

      2. Tempestic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        When he falls to 11.3.

    6. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks all!

  20. Plymouth

    3. Aguero Martial Ederson > Kane F.Anderson Lloris (-8)

  22. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years

    Ings > Wilson worth doing for a hit?

    1. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No way. Wilson will be rested soon

  23. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Which one:

    1. Salah >> Sterling
    2. Hazard >> Sane

    Allows Aguero >> Kane

    Thanks

  24. ZeBestee

    Chances of these players starting next gw in %

    1) Sterling

  25. MMN
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    1 FT 0.3m ITB (WC intact). Thoughts on potential moves this week with Kun a doubt?

    Pat
    Laporte, Robertson, Alonso, WB
    Richa, Sterling, Salah (C), Fraser
    Kun, Arnie

    Hamer - Gray - Doherty - Kamara

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

      Kun > Auba is probably the obvious one.

      When are you Wc’ing?

      1. MMN
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yup. Yday, Kun to Auba/Mitro was in my thoughts or Pat > Fab.

        The Auba brace today made him the obvious move. No clue when I'll WC. Can't see many necessary changes so will probably leave it late to a time when I'm sure my pre - WC team doesn't outscore my WC team. If a couple spurs and arsenal assets were on fire then it would it easy to go in GW15 or 16 ...

  26. arndff_

    Will be there any press conf before midweek games? Thanks.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Not sure, probably not.

        Cheers, mate!

        I was really wondering what moves you made before this GW. 🙂

        Congrats about your great score!

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

    2 FTs. This for a -4?

    Salah, Martial and Jiménez for Son, Anderson and Kane.

    Then sufficient money next week to do Aguero and Hazard to Aubameyang and Sterling.

    Or just do all 5 now and take the -12?

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

      -12????

    2. AndyCook
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure Son will play

  28. Ajaxeeding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with my FT? Right now I do not see any two changes to make. Maybe I could do Patrício to Fabianski (given his great fixtures GW 21) and save the other FT.
    Any other possibilities that people see?

    2 FTs and 0.0 ITB
    Patricio
    Alonso - Robertson - Digne
    Salah - Hazard - Fraser - Martial
    Aguero - Arnautovic - Mitrovic

    Bench: Hamer; AWB - Billing - Doherty

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

      Kun could be out injured.

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Almost the same ‘problem’ .... But will Aguero play tuesday? He went from orange to yellow, but still.

    3. Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ditch Salah after Burnely to fund Kane, Sterling or anyone else you want, so Pat to Fab this week

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

      Having salah at 13 mill is weakening your team

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

        I agree with you all. I’m just having a hard time pulling the trigger on getting rid of Salah. I think I will to Pats to Fabs this week and then do Salah and Aguero to sterling and Kane/Aubameyang.

        Thnks again for the responses!

  29. ninja101
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Bottm'd

    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

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

      Jorg to 4.4m playing fodder...
      Robbo to TAA
      Upgrade Success...

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

      Kane + Auba is wrecking your team. Wouldnt have Mane on WC.

    3. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Downgrade donkey mane to upgrade defence imo

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

      Front two OK but bit it's weakened the rest of the team

    5. AndyCook
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jorginho should go, if you want a cheap playing player with potential I’d get Brooks. Not sure you can have all three and a good team

    6. AndyCook
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Try Arnie over Success and lose Mane for Richarlison and Jorginho for bench fodder

  30. Bialystrzelec
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I have ideal amount of money ITB to do Aguero and Fraser to Kane and Sane tonight. Yay or nay? Auba and Alli aby competition?

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

      I'm thinking of getting Fraser in!

      I like the idea of owning Sane but there'll be some rotation with him and Sterling over the coming weeks.

      Possibly just Aguero to Kane though.

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sane might not even start in midweek
