The final fixture of Gameweek 29 takes place at Goodison Park this afternoon, as Liverpool make the short trip across Stanley Park.

Kick-off in the Merseyside derby is at 16:15 GMT.

Jurgen Klopp has made only one change to his starting XI from the team that defeated Watford 5-0 in midweek, with Jordan Henderson replacing James Milner in central midfield.

Roberto Firmino has recovered from an ankle problem but is only named among the substitutes, with Klopp explaining his decision ahead of kick-off:

Bobby trained yesterday and it looked really good, so he is on the bench because he could be an option. I didn’t think it was necessary to bring him immediately after the good game we played on Wednesday. We’ll try it like this. We have very good options, that’s important.

Marco Silva has also made a big call in attack, dropping Richarlison for compatriot Bernard on the left flank.

Richarlison is on the bench, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin once again leads the line.

Kurt Zouma returns from suspension and replaces Phil Jagielka at centre-half in Silva’s only other change.

The reverse fixture of this match was contested in December, with Divock Origi scoring a last-gasp winner for Liverpool at Anfield.

Origi starts for the Reds again this afternoon, with Sadio Mane once more expected to line up as the central striker in Klopp’s 4-3-3 today.

Mohamed Salah is the second-most-popular captaincy pick of Gameweek 29, having been handed the armband by more than 1.2 million FPL bosses.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was the most-bought defender of this Gameweek, while Mane was transferred in by more FPL managers than any other midfielder.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Origi.

    TAA looks as good an attacking threat as Salah or Mane

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ye he has looked super dangerous - Robbo seems more defensive

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      hmmm. food for thought.

      was thinking mane alongside salah was the obvious double up (then robbo as well) for playing fulham in bgw31

    3. HurriKane

      Will get rotated once cl resumes

    What a disappointing game so far as a Salah captainer

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3 points would be a good captain score this week

  3. Richd

    Ville Ronka is Finnish

    1. CarsonYeung

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I think he meant the 1st half in general

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

    Do defenders get -bps for headers off target like VVD from that free kick?

  5. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What a boring gameweek!

  6. g40steve

    TAA on 3 BAPS

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Well done

  8. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What does henderson actually offers in liverpool midfeild?

    In reality he'll struggle to get into the watford starting xi just like cleverly

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wasn’t he MOTM the other week ?

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He tries to be mr hardman and yet ineffective most games Got no creativity or pace or tactical awareness

        Poor mans mark noble

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Are you saying Cleverly good enough to start for Liverpool?

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think he has played well this half - more creative than usual.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Im afraid he's cr@p and please dont try to justify his selection. He offers next to nothing.

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          ?

          Still talking absolute rubbish I see, and still too ashamed of your rank to link your team....as expected

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He'd walk into the Spurs midfield blindfolded 😉

  9. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Has Mo played much on the left? Without the interchange with Firmino, they look a bit misplaced with Origi center left - maybe a reshuffle of the front three attackers would help.

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think the introduction of Bobby is needed 2nd half of Liverpool are to unlock this stubborn toffees defence

  10. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    liverpool look terrible

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years

      Liverpoo

  11. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ah yes, this has all the hallmarks of everton scoring right at the end

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would be gold man. Just gold.

  12. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    This game needs Bobby

          • 10 Years

      This game *is* bobby

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

    Ok come on, own up, who did it?

    Who kidnapped Mo Salah & replaced him with Borat

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Erm.

    2. LǝgleSs e|even

    5. boc610
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If borat was the best player.on the pitch, then yes

    6. borat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hello are you talking about me

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I liiiiiiiike 🙂

  14. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A liv CS would be more detrimental than a Salah goal or two

  15. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Liverpool terrible by the look of first half

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No. Terrible is Fulham & Huddersfield.

  16. Bucket_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Old news now but bringing in Rice on a -4, and then benching him, completely sums up my season. My worst ever so far, due to a ton of shitty badly thought out decisions 🙁

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I've fecked it too buddy. Thank god, as Mitchell and Webb put it, that the football never ends.

      Next season!

    I’ve been found out.

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Your team play Sarriball? 😮

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Well, 25-35.

      I’d say 25 you are being pretty pessimistic.

  20. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    TAA on 3 BAPS and the clean sheet isnt even added yet. What a baller!

    1. LǝgleSs e|even

      Ikr

  21. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Would capping TAA next game be a good idea?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah coz on the bench he will be

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Thanks Yoda

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No such thing as a bad idea.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Just quoting my counsellor

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Lets see him say that after a season of FPL.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            He's actually addicted to FPL, and keeps failing. I'm his shrink for that.

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

      With Bayern on the Wednesday make sure you have a good VC.

  22. Zladan

    Live league table:

    1. City 29 71 (56gd)
    2. LFC 29 71 (49gd)

    45 minutes away from the 7 point lead completely disappearing. Big half to come!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who scored the Liverpool goal?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Impossible.

    3. TorresMagic™

      Pool on 70 🙄

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Oh wow. My bad. City go a point clear as it stands! Scenes.

    4. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Correction LFC 70 points.

  23. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Early thoughts;

    Pogba, Kolasinac & Jiminez > Hazard/Mane, TAA & King (-4)

    What do you think? (Already own Salah)

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      How much value will you lose on pogba and Jimmy?

      1. YoungPretender
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        0.5m combined

        1. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          That's not bad actually

        2. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          If you're chasing it's maybe worth a gamble, but you will likely be getting both back on FH if that's your strategy.

  24. boc610

    Big Sam's Toffees alive and well

  25. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    I feel like every gameweek is dead atm

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      There were so many points at the start of the season and they've disappeared

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Start of the season was extremely anamolous

      2. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        104 points GW1, 96 GW2, they were the days haha

  26. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Please score early second half Everton, I can't handle the stress of waiting until the end for your inevitable goal here.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you think an Everton goal is inevitable then we are experiencing this game on very different emotional planes.

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I feel like they're getting a fair amount of traction with the long ball. Only takes one matip mistake.

  27. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which Pool defender would you want with unlimited budget?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Still Robbo

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Robertson's still the one

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

      Trent

    4. cigan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Trent and a good backup

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If Trent is going to be given extra BPS every game, he has to be considered.

    6. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      VVD > Robertson > TAA > Gomez

      Mixture of nailedess with CL and points potential when they play.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe VVD = Robbo

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all.

    8. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      absolutely no budget then Robbo as there is a goal coming soon and he's always in the box.
      But don't think he's 1.4m better than TAA.
      I've ended up with both atm.
      Robbo would be the 1st to go purelyy for the cash.

    9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      When they’re all on the pitch - Trent

      Factoring in Trent’s more frequent injuries - Robbo

      But get both to be on he safe side

  28. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If TAA scores I’m gonna parachute into FPL towers

      Head first into the wall?

    3. cigan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What's your team for this week? I remember you making very similar moves just before I started shuffling about to get ready for GW31

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Ederson
        Rice Doherty TAA
        Sterling Salah Son Pogba
        Aguero Barnes Jiminez

        Is it still similar ?

        1. cigan
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Not really - I've kept clear of City but then also held on to the likes of Son & Pogba and bought Barnes

          Fabianski
          Robertson TAA Doherty
          Salah Son Pogba Anderson Hazard
          Barnes Jimenez

          Got Rondon for the blanks too but benched him this week. Decent decision, capping Pogba not so much. Who did you captain?

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Sterling for me. His 3 points seem huge this week !

            You look very good for 31, my city guys will have to go after next week. Just for a short time anyway

            1. cigan
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              True - I'm mad at people captaining Higuain though as I don't really rate him
              A bit crazy that I still look set for a big green arrow (3500 to 2500) even with Pogba capped

              I wanted Sterling or Aguero too but only had other priorities with only 3 w31 players like
              Was thinking of getting some Leicester next but they don't look so appealing now with Vardy possibly out

    See so many people not willing to sell players like Pogba, Jimenez, Doherty because they have ‘value’ tied up. What’s the point of a high TV, if you can’t sell them to access and release their funds? All about those sweet sweet points.

      Cos you’ll immediately want a few back in DGW32.

        Pogba yes, not sure about Doherty

        Albeit, if everyone didn’t click “FH” until deadline day we could probably force Pogba to drop 0.1-0.2. And pick him up pre-deadline.

          Start the bandwagon?

      It's buying them back that's the problem

      I’d want all of those three back on WC34, and can’t afford it if I sell

      You will you be able to afford everyone back on a WC in 35?

      Pogba a season keeper for me.

      GW35 for Wolves should be BHA & ARS, I want Doh & Jim for that. Not paying an extra mill+ to get them back to have a BOU defender or Rondon for GW31.

      Seems no point selling for 1-2 game weeks when I'd want them back. I'll happily bench them for 31

      I think lots of people do the calculation of CP-PP, and forget about the profit they get when they sell.

      I'll probably keep the three of them for the blank as I can afford whoever I want with losing much less value

      Pogba will 100% be in my FH32 team...why take a 0.6m haircut for one GW when I can bench him

      Same with the Wolves...might not want right now, but their fixtures come good after the blanks

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years

        0.6? I imagine you would lose 0.2, 0.3 at most

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          I got Pogba for 7.9m, isn't he like 9m now?

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            So 0.5 loss, however, Pogba will probably drop before 32. He is the one I would keep though.. Wolves are on the chopping block with the fixtures and run in.. will most likely be on the beach as well

              Not in any universe am I going to want a playing bench for GW31, I probably will only field 10.

              Plenty of money to bin off the players who aren't Pogba, Jiminez or Doherty

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Haven't you only made 0.4-0.5 on him so far? Not to mention he could drop if others are selling him

    10. Ghost Gooner

      They still want them later in the run in. Buying them back would be expensive

      Im happy to play with just 10 players on GW31 & bench pog & jimi as i'll want them in GW32
