How Everton negated Liverpool attack as poor home form continues

Liverpool 0-2 Everton

  • Goals: Richarlison (£7.9m), Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m)
  • Assists: James Rodríguez (£7.7m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m)
  • Bonus points: Jordan Pickford x3 (£4.8m), Richarlison x2, Lucas Digne x1 (£6.1m), Michael Keane x1 (£5.1m)

PERFECT EXECUTION

Liverpool’s Fantasy Premier League prospects took another hit as they lost 2-0 to Everton in Double Gameweek 25.

Ahead of two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, their Merseyside rivals restricted the Reds’ key attacking assets, ensuring they put on the worst possible audition for the next Fantasy deadline.

On Saturday evening, Carlo Ancelotti set Everton up specifically to negate Jurgen Klopp’s men, operating with a back-four protected by three central midfielders and Seamus Coleman (£4.8m) deployed in a defensive double-up on the right-hand side.

As we saw with Vladimir Coufal (£4.6m) and Ryan Fredericks (£4.2m) doubled-up on Jack Grealish (£7.7m) in Gameweek 22, Coleman and right-back Mason Holgate (£4.8m) combined to take Andrew Robertson (£7.2m) out of Saturday’s Merseyside derby, severely limiting Liverpool’s threat down one of their strongest flanks.

And long balls out of the back helped Everton bypass Liverpool pressing from the front and in the middle to go from defence to attack quickly at key moments.

“We have this kind of quality (in the air). We want to avoid the pressure from Liverpool. We know they press a lot in front.” – Carlo Ancelotti

The effect of those tactical decisions by Ancelotti insisting pre-match that Everton would be in their usual shape, a great example of mind games succeeding.

“The system and the strategy will be the same. I put more fresh legs because we played Wednesday night so it will be a game with a lot of intensity. I want to be ready for it.” – Carlo Ancelotti, pre-match

“We played with two strikers, James and Richarlison. We fix a little bit the position of Coleman to deal with Robertson. Three midfielders and four at the back to control Salah, Mané and Firmino.” – Carlo Ancelotti, post-match

KOP FLOPS

Liverpool face two home fixtures in their next three matches, where they have recently struggled to get results.

Not only are Klopp’s men winless in their last six league matches at Anfield, but they have also found the net just twice in that time.

Before their Saturday night meeting with Sheffield United, Fulham were the only Premier League team to score fewer goals in their last six at home.

By contrast, Manchester City have netted 13 goals across the same data set ahead of facing four matches at the Etihad Stadium in the next two Gameweeks.

It must be said that Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) played his part on Saturday, producing six saves that helped him to maximum bonus and an 11-point haul.

His first two stopped impressive first-half shots from range by Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m).

Then, in the second period, Pickford spread himself at the near-post to deny Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) a golden opportunity.

PROBLEMS AT KABAK

While Liverpool’s goal-scoring problems are certainly headline-worthy, their ongoing defensive issues are also holding them back.

They have conceded nine goals across their last three matches as Ozan Kabak‘s (£5.0m) introduction to the team has not been particularly productive.

In three appearances in all competitions, the centre-back already has three yellow cards to his name and it was the Stuttgart loanee who was exposed for Everton’s first goal.

James Rodríguez (£7.7m) played an insightful pass inside Kabak in the opening exchanges and, by the time he had turned to respond to it, Richarlison (£7.9m) was already through on goal and slotting past Alisson (£5.9m), his second in two matches.

“(Richarlison) is back and he’s scoring. He is playing with a lot of consistency. Rodríguez does not have the physicality of the others but he has the quality.” – Carlo Ancelotti

Liverpool have not been entirely the masters of their own downfall as their wretched injury curse sunk its tendrils into their campaign once more on Saturday.

Already filling in at centre-back, captain Henderson was forced off with a hamstring injury in the first half, replaced by Nathaniel Phillips (£4.0m).

“It’s the groin/adductor region and nobody in the medical department was positive about it. It doesn’t look good, but we have to wait, of course, for the scan tomorrow, hopefully.” – Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, J Henderson (N Phillips 30′), Kabak, Alexander-Arnold; Thiago (Origi 87′), Wijnaldum, C Jones (Shaqiri 63′); Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Everton XI (4-4-2): Pickford; Digne, Godfrey, Keane, Holgate; Gomes (Sigurdsson 59′), T Davies, Doucouré, Coleman; Richarlison (Iwobi 86′), Rodríguez (Calvert-Lewin 62′).

    Want to do Antonio -> Kane this week, but need to lose £1.7m somewhere else. Any ideas? Don't mind making two more changes, and more likely to TC than BB so bench fodder okay.

    Pope, McCarthy
    Cancelo, Stones, Coufal, Justin, Dallas
    Bruno, Son, Salah, Gundo, Raphinha
    Bamford, DCL, Antonio

    Justin to 3.9 is an obvious enabler. But still then need to lose another 0.9m... any thoughts?

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The obvious move is to sell Salah.

    2. Neevesy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Well I guess Justin won't work unless you want a - 8.

      Realistically you would need to downgrade a premium midfield asset. Salah is obvious one but he could well haul.

      You also have Son, so other option is risk not having Kane.

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Downgrade Justin plus either Dallas or McCarthy if you don't mind the hits or as the above have said Salah with pools current struggles

    3. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Does Bruno to Barnes free up enough?i know based on Liverpool’s performances Salah would be the ideal candidate, but Man United’s next three fixtures are quite tough whereas Liverpool play Sheffield and Fulham next

      1. mrelpea
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’m doing the Bruno switch to get Kane

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I said Salah instead of Bruno the other day. Everton result makes me think this is the way

      2. Ëð
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting thought, thank you!

    4. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford to Maja? , both play 29.
      Pope to Sanchez? agin Sanchez plays 29 also.

      1. Ëð
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Like those too, thank you!

    5. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Are you FH BGW29? If not maybe downgrade Pope and Justin.

      1. Ëð
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No, I think that's what I'll go with thank you. Will be WC GW30

  2. The Bad Seed

    (Opportunity Cost) Bench Boost Conundrum We Are All Facing:
    What are YOUR thoughts???

    - If not 26, when could be another chance?
    - Doesn't it also make sense that for those without a WC or FH, to utilize the BB on 26, then start shoring up their teams for a good starting 11 to end the season well?

    I agree that BB in 26 is not as appealing as we thought it might be...

    But based on the concept of opportunity cost, wouldn't it make sense to get it over with while many of us have a playing team of 15-ish now? (regardless of how many doublers, differentials, etc...)

    I frankly see no other option with a better pay off......
    Do you?

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have no route to Kane that I'm happy with, but I can get a decent BB out. So I'm going that route just so it's done.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looking at 30 when both Leeds and Villa have really plum home fixtures SH and Fulham.

      I’ll likely be fully loaded with Villa and Leeds at that point and benching most of them

      1. The Bad Seed
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        could pay off.
        I personally dont see Fulham or Shu as the teams to concede more than 2 though.
        Not huge ceilings with these teams.
        Especially Fullham.

        But GW 30 is a fresh option I'll have to look at, thanks!

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think you're right.

      If not TC in gw26 then BB and play the rest of the fixtures without BB distractions.

    4. The Bad Seed
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      we ALL share this boat now.
      or most of us do...

    Wishlist for today:
    1) Beat Spurs

    ...I think that's it.

    1. CONNERS

      I just want Villa to concede as played Areola over Martinez this week...

  4. Fernandito

    Martinez
    Dias Stones Mee Maguire
    Salah Bruno Gundo Grealish Raphinha
    Watkins

    Forster Bamford Ings Cresswell

    Thoughts on my team guys?

    Was thinking of a couple of hits for GW 26, then make it to GW 29 with transfers(8 or 9 playing) before using WC in GW 30.

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      team looks adequate enough, what hits are you thinking about ?

    2. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good! Are you bringing Kane in? I have the same exact strategy though the Kane price rise means I will probably need to do take three hits to get Kane and upgrade Sterling to KDB

    3. Fernandito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking Ings and Grealish to Kane & Barnes/JRod

  5. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this for a -4?

    Ings, Antonio, Justin -> Kane, DCL, Konsa

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, target over konsa if viable

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      looks great

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good!

    4. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Great moves.

    5. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great. I will probably do I Ings to Kane.

  6. StopItHarold
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Mee Cancelo Digne
    Sterling Fernandes Son M.Pereira
    Ings Bamford DCL

    Im thinking Targett + Watkins in for Mee + Bamford (-4 hit)??

    Planning on TC for Son...

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Watkins out for a hit? No

      1. StopItHarold
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No i said watkins in!

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ah, sorry. Then it's a Yes!

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford to Kane, and Sterling to Gundo probably best moves if funds allow. Sterling been pretty useless recently out wide

  7. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Early thoughts

    Tempted to make these moves
    Mee(tot, LEI) + Lowton(tot, LEI) ->
    Dier(BUR, ful) + Konsa(lee, Shu)

    Both are playing GW29.

    Areola*
    Stones* Mee* Targett* Lowton*
    Salah* Bruno* Son* Foden* Gundogan*
    Kane*

    (Sanchez Ings Bamford Dallas) 2FT 0ITB
    Zero chips left to play!

    Yay or nay?

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have seen it said Dier isn’t exactly nailed.

      Contemplating the same or similar

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Guess you are right... Davies? 😉

  8. FPL_BUCCANEER
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    RMWCT (BB already used)

    Martinez Fabri
    Cancelo Castagne Digne Targett Struijk
    KDB Bruno Gundo Son Barnes
    Kane DCL Brewster

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah in for KDB and Foden for Barnes?

  9. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Stress levels would be reduced by 95% if Grealish proves not to be injured

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Some random just posted on Villa FB he missed training for promo work. Dean Smith is pretty straightforward in press conferences about injured players and he said nothing so would be odd if he really is injured

  10. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Shaw
    Salah Bruno Son Gündo
    Kane DCL Watkins

    (3.9 Rudiger White ESR)

    Thoughts on this wildcard team?

    No FH left so I have 6 starters for GW29.

    Could go for Barnes over Watkins in a 352 but I lose out on a GW29 player and little worried about Europa for Leicester. Villa fixtures also look better on paper with another DGW possible in GW28.

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It’s a perfect team. Don’t touch it

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        this

      2. Karan14

        Cheers mate!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      When are you gonna play Rudiger? If you're not gonna play him, you can downgrade him and pick a GW29 starter.

      It looks pretty good otherwise.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I just like Chelsea's long term fixtures. He could come handy as I think Shaw or Cancelo could get benched for the odd game and I need to use my BB too. Other option is Targett but I'm not expecting much from him in GW29 against Spurs anyways.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. When are you gonna BB?

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good, got nearly the same draft but I’m trying to get Digne in for Shaw. Rudiger can wait untill GW 30 imo

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    El ghazi could be a decent punt if Grealish is out for 4 weeks or so

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah yeah.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Grealish is only behind Messi and nNeymar in Europe's top 5 leagues for actions that lead to a shot on goal, look at how crap those around him are even when he's on the pitch missing chance after chance after chance

        They can still score without him ofc but nowhere near as enticing

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Most fantasy assists by any player in FPL

        do you think Ings and Grealish out for Lookmam and Kane is a good move......yes or no.

      Suggestions needed. TIA

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bench boost transfers seem to make more sense as you have too much tied up in defence, then you can wc and redistribute the funds to the main 12 after

    4. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Of course Pep won't bench Dias or Stones the only time I could get some jammy (Digne) points.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Laporte could well start for one of them

    5. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On WC, pick one?

      A KdB
      B Salah

      *B = Gundo, Cancelo, Stones

    6. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Should've double on Fulham defense on WC

    7. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What are the chances of any two of these four missing the entire game, to get DCL and Digneoff the bench?

      Grealish, Cancelo, Dias, Gundagon

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It's your lucky day I think.

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I suspect Gundogan misses out entirely and possibly Cancelo

      3. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I could do with Cancelo missing out as have Lowton as 1st DF sub

    8. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      wondering about hits in the build up to BG29 and how to take advantage of the doubles. Any help much appreciated:

      A) Rash > Son (have Kane, this leaves me in good shape to field 11 in BGW29 without hits)

      B) Rash + Bamford > DCL + Barnes (-4 hit now and leaves me needing at least 2 hits to play 11 in BGW29)

      1. Ginola14
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Are we sure we need 11 for 29?

      2. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Most will probably have about 7 or 8 I would guess.
        You’ll be fine to do B) and forget your compulsion to have XI that week

      3. JammySprat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Unless using FH 99% won't field 11 so don't worry about it unless, just consider each transfer you remove from 29 as -6 instead of -4

        1. JammySprat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          unless taking hit*

      4. CONNERS
        • 5 Years

        A

    9. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford & Peacock-Farrell to Watkins & Johnstone (-4) and BB this?

      Areola Johnstone
      Dias Dallas Targett Lowton Mitchell
      Salah Bruno Son Foden Gundogan
      Kane DCL Watkins

    10. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My transfer plans for this week is gunna be Ings & Bamford > DCL & Watkins I think.

      Ings was a failed one week punt. Southampton are poor and just not providing enough service for him. Don’t even know why I bothered with him, DGW or not...
      Bamford is a harder sell, but I just think the fixtures for the others make it worth it.

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just get DCL. Don’t sell Bamford. Look at his score against Villa last time.

        1. thegaffer82
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I could do Ings > Watkins and Raphina > J-Rod instead I suppose

            I don’t trust Rodriguez to get the minutes required in a double game week. Been burnt already this season

      Seriously considering Rich/DCL double up. Rich Is the definition of a confidence player and the fixtures are brilliant.

        They won't be playing LFC every week.

        If you were picking one whom would it be?

          DCL Due to ownership and less tenancy to get yellow cards

        Think I prefer a double up with Digne rather than an attack double up.

          I would bare in mind Pickford tends to make mistakes against weaker opponents

      A).Digne

      Thoughts on Elmo and Burn? Are they nailed starters with Cash and March out?

      Looking for some cheap enablers on my WC and will need them in GW29 as well...

        I bought Burn this week. Considering Elmo.

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Cash out for a “couple of weeks” which could mean he is back GW29 though, that is what holding me back atm.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah and also the fact that I'm not sure I trust the Villa defense without Cash.

            Not loving Elmo very much. He's a transfer waiting to happen and if he doesn't cover 29 he's pretty useless (and it's Spurs in 29 as well...)

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah you’re right, will probably avoid

      Thoughts on my DGW BB team?

      GK - Pope, Sanchez
      DF - Rudiger, Dias, Dallas, Davies, Dunk
      MF - Saka, Raphinha, Salah, Fernandes, Prowse
      FW - Ings, Bamford, Kane

      1.9M ITB.

      I plan on making atleast two GW transfers, which ones seem most ideal?

      1) Ings and JWP OUT > Vardy, Gundogan IN
      2) Ings and JWP OUT > Vardy, Foden IN
      3) Bamford and JWP OUT > Watkins, Barnes IN.
      4) Dallas and JWP OUT > Digne, Barnes IN.
      5) Dallas and JWP OUT > Digne, Foden/Gundogan IN.
      6) Ings and JWP out > DCL & Barnes In
      7) Bamford and JWP out > DCL & Gundogan In

      Prowse and Ings were DGW punts, but JWP is the loser in every outcome for me. I also love Bamford, he's been super consistent.

      Would appreciate your feedback! Thanks.

        Any players you're not considering? ☺️. SOU dbl in 27 and KWP can score fk against anyone so I'd keep now you've gone that way.

      How does Sterling, Ings, Antonio > Maddison/Barnes/Son, Kane & DCL sound? -8

      Woke up feeling fairly depressed about my team.

      My plan is Antonio > Kane (TC).

      Wondering about trading Bednarek for another doubler. Any good options at 5.0? May contemplate BB if I can find a decent one.

      Martinez / Pope
      Cancelo / Stones / Shaw / Bednarek / Dallas
      Salah / Gundogan / Bruno / Saka / Raphinha
      Antonio / Bamford / DCL

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 9 Years

        Chin up team is looking good and lots of games to play yet!

        Bednarek > Konsa?
        Antonio > Kane
        And BB or TC on Kane but great options!

        1. Plagued by indecision

          Cheers! Thank you for the suggestions. I like the idea of a Villa defender as they have another double and a 29 fixture. Will let me keep my wildcard and free hit til 30+

      2. JammySprat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You own some of the higher scoring gw25 players so far aha

    17. JollyGoodYellows

      If using BB next week what transfers would you make here? Happy to take a hit if required.

      2FTS and 1.0itb

      Martinez Pope
      Dias Stones Digne AWB Dallas

        Best defender apart from City for gw 26?
        5.1m budget

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years

          Shaw? AMN? Soyuncu is 5.3

          1. Party time
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Amn. Are you suggesting Maitland-Niles?

              1. Weeb Kakashi
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                OOP. Could have got attacking returns in the last 2 games. Decent fixtures too

          2. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Chance Coleman or Keane

          3. JabariParkersEyelid
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Shaw, Targett, Keane stand out.

          Help please! Would you WC the below?

          I think the team is quite well set for the DGW (by chance!) but not sure there will be a better time to use the wildcard this season. I’d want to get rid of some West Ham players given their fixtures and bring in some City/Spurs players and probably DCL. I have a FH so would just use that for the BGW.

          Morning all

          Doing Ings >> Kane(C) with my FT. Either of these worth a -4? Will have 3.8m after getting Kane.

          A. Coufal >> Digne
          B. Soucek >> Barnes

          Pope
          Dias, Cancelo, Tarko
          Son, Bruno, Gündo, Raphina

            Are you FH in BGW29. If not wouldn’t take hits to bring in blank players.
