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.

    Alisson has been Liverpool's best player

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Him and Fabinho. Miles above the CM performance of Hendo and Milner in Paris

    Chances of Salah starting against Burnley?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      High.

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

        He was benched this time last season. Just to make you aware.

        1. piquiblanco
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He had a minor injury back then.

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years

      there will be risk. bou napoli manu next week, napoli must win game

        Napoli isn't next week

        1. Numb

          It is?

          1. lespaul
            • 16 Years

        2. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          it is
          8/12 Bourne
          12/12 Napoli
          16/12 United

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

      Unlikely I’d say

  4. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Salah and Richarlison you have one job

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You were dead right about Auba bud - good spot.

      You getting him & Kane in?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        It is one of a few options definitely getting Aubameyang.

        Then I need to decided between this atm.

        A) Kane Fraser Obiang
        B) Sane Son Jimenez

  5. _Make
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    And, as Nas once said, it's halftime

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

      By the time you can afford it, the car aint important.

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

    Looks like being one of those days for Salah. Ah well

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

      You'll be fine.

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

        He has to go soon, maybe now.

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

          Sterling looked atrocious and he’s the highest significantly owned scorer now

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

            Maybe Sane / Silva

          2. GREEN IS GOOD
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            "Sterling looked atrocious"

            WHAT?

            Ridiculous

        2. Ziyech on the Bench
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          my thinking too

  7. Emery thing I do
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Salah, Dilva, Kun > Auba, Sterling, Sané?

    Thoughts??

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      why drop dilva? almost certain to start midweek. same cannot be said for sterling, and to a lesser degree sane, whilst salah plays burnley

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, don't like it tbh

  8. Infamy, Infamy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Would it be crazy to add Kane for week 15 then switch him to Aubamayang for 16?

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Why?

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

      Its fine if your cool with Auba price rise

  9. Aubamazette
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Over Christmas period?
    A) Kane + Eriksen/Alli
    Or
    B) Auba + Hazard

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Just be aware Eriksen and Alli most likely to get rest midweek. Alli played 90 vs Inter and Eriksen used sparingly after abdominal issue.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

  10. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Has Salah had a shot yet, for 13mil he should be shooting every min

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

      He was more like 38mil

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

      Lol he started well then Everton woke up

  11. barton fc
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    for next week, aubba for free or kane for a hit?

  12. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A- Kane, Cairney, Eder (Cairey 5th)
    B- Auba, FAnderson, Fab (FAnderson 5th)

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

    So is Aguero fit or not ?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on whether you can trust Jamie Jackson

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

        I have Aguero

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't matter, away and surely not risked with Chelsea next weekend

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

    Salah VC went awful.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Didn't realise it was over

    2. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Went?

  15. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Salah to Sterling even though Sterling most likely benched midweek?

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No, and sterling very likely benched yeah, can't see 4 starts in 11 days

  16. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Captain next GW:

    Sterling (wat)
    Hazard (wol)
    Wilson (HUD)
    Arnie (CAR)
    Richarlison (NEW)

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      got a feeling sterling and hazard will be rested for the chelsea - man city clash. Id go with wilson

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      mine is currently on salah.

      from those, haz or arnie punt tempt

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Need TAA & Robbo to HOLD this CS

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This, or Richarlison goal

  18. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    do yous not think Sterling will be benched? People saying he's essential.

    Sane for 2.1m cheaper (alonside DSilva), and Richarlison+1.6m not a better option than sterling and a cheapie?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Play the long game. Who do you think will score the most pts over the next 4-6 GWs?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        sane

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

      With Aguero now being fit he might be.

    3. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      yep 3 starts in a row, he will be rested for chelsea game

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

    A) Aubameyang

    OR

    B) Kane

    Since Aguero can fall anytime, I need to decide soon.

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Laca

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Laca nice and fresh Aub will get rest in next couple of weeks

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

    Jamie Jackson knows!

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

      Knows what ?

  21. Eugeniekwh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone's question Aguero for Kane or Auba

    1. Rock n Grohl
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling, Sane, Kane and Auba. Problem solved.

  22. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    With Salah doubtful for the Burnley game as their fixtures are quick and hard, and with peps roulette and kun being fit again which transfer is better for this week?

    Salah/Hazard to sterling

    Or

    Kun to Kane

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

      Sterling is more doubtful than Salah imo.

      1. Top 210 Club
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This

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

    Salah out maybe but for who ?

    Sterling and Sane both rotation risks for GW15. Maybe just Sterling since he looks like the best longterm pick ?

    1. PanJawel2
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Do i after GW 15 . Salah playing Burnley .

  24. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Draft WC verdict please chaps.

    Ederson, Steele
    Robertson, Alonso, Digne, AWB, Balbuena
    Sane, Sterling, Richarlison, Son, Gunnarsson
    Auba, Mitrovic, Arnie

    1.4 ITB.

    Going for Auba over Kane has left spare cash so not sure whether to have a solid 14 for the next 6 weeks and then redistribute come the new year?

  25. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    This Gomes chap is a good player to be fair to him. Everton will do well to sign him permanently.

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

      Deserves it really a top player just didn’t work out at Barca at all. Can be a huge player for them still I think this will give him the confidence

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

    I think Sturridge starts midweek and hauls. Thoughts?

    Can see Lallana Sturridge starting in place of two of Mane Salah Firmino.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lallana Is injured again he's the new Sturridge with half the talent

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

    Keep kun then cba to make a transfer

  28. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Right. A - 12 is worth it IF:

    1. you're getting players for 6+ games.
    2. You don't kneejerk the same players out again after 1-2 weeks.

  29. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Worth haz Kamara to auba Kante ? Switch from 3 5 2 to 3 4 3 ?

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
