Everton v Liverpool team news: Robertson benched, Darwin starts

The Merseyside derby gets Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway this lunchtime, one of eight Premier League matches taking place on a busy Saturday.

Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 12:30 BST.

Liverpool had the shortest turnaround of any top-flight team between Gameweeks 5 and 6, and Jurgen Klopp has made a handful of changes as a result.

Andrew Robertson and Roberto Firmino are among three players making way, while Darwin Nunez is thrown straight back into the starting XI on his return from suspension.

Gameweek 5 starter Jordan Henderson is now out injured, while Fabio Carvalho and Kostas Tsikimas get a recall.

New signing Arthur Melo has received belated international clearance and is on the bench, as is the newly fit-again Diogo Jota.

As for Everton, manager Frank Lampard has largely stuck with the same team that held Leeds United to a creditable draw in midweek – with one exception.

New signing Neal Maupay starts in place of Dwight McNeil, who drops to the bench.

Fellow new arrival Idrissa Gueye is also among the Everton substitutes but James Garner isn’t in the squad.

GAMEWEEK 6 TEAM NEWS

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Davies, Onana, Iwobi, Maupay, Gray, Gordon

Subs: Begovic, Keane, Allan, McNeil, Coleman, Gueye, Vinagre, Rondon, Mills

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Gomez, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Elliott, Carvalho, Salah, Diaz, Nunez

Subs: Adrian, Robertson, Phillips, Matip, Milner, Arthur, Bajcetic, Firmino, Jota

    Robbo & Greenwood > Fofana & Isak for free? (for next week)

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Lets see who plays this week first? cha

      Not a bad move but wait until matches
      In theory LIV CS chances at home to Wolves far better than Chelsea away to Fulham who averaged scoring 2.3 goals at Craven Cottage so far

      1. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Robbo’s swan song for everyone who still owns him.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Sure

  2. DRIZ ✅
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Minimum goal and assist Salah please.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Dream on

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

      Lucky to get a shot on target at this moment

    3. TheBiffas

    1. Das Boot
      • 9 Years

    2. 3 A
      • 8 Years

  4. R.C
    • 6 Years

    KALVINNNNNNNNNNNN

  5. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Already planning for all kneejerkiness before the games begin so i dont end up being rash. 2 FTs at my disposal

    Top of my list would be

    Taa + Toney to Walker/Trippier + Darwin

    Or a cheeky

    Toney to Alvarez and Patterson to Fofana

    Or a safe

    Gross to Aaronson and Patterson to Fofana

    Considering how conservative i am il probably just end up burning a transfer though lol

    Main rival last week captained Haaland against my Salah, I went Haaland this week, he's gone Salah.. oh man

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Unbelievable!

      1. tangtastic

        Geoff!

    #GW6 Elite 1000 Summary

    - 65% captain Haaland
    - 33% captain Salah

    The shift has begun...

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Very reactive rather than proactive

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        In terms of numbers

        I don’t like salah as an option and I don’t have him

        But where the heck is Kane in this?! He should be on top

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          You don't captain Kane with Son not being in form

        2. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Captaining Kane would be reactive. 😉 People expect Haaland to haul in any game right now

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Oh dear

  8. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Assist max for Salah

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Nah, unicorn points for sure

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A much tamer sequel to Mad Max.

      Assist Max: BPS Road.

  9. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Maupay to wipe out pool CS? Would be typical fpl

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Gordon on form he could

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Hopefully

  10. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Guess Robbo could still come on for an assist right? haha

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I'd expect him to feature, yes.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      hopefully he doesn't come on at all now

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Highly likely to come on

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          boo!

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      1 point cameo.

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        only 1 less than last week

    4. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      i dont expect him to come on based on previous benching

  11. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    City will play in their Dortmund kit today.
    Haaland goals loading...

    1. M'arvin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      They could play in chainmail and he would probably still score. He'll get 50 this season.

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Haaland has the chance to get a hattrick of hattricks.

    No chance he gets benched

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yep. Ideally all in the first half and then he can come off at HT for his rest!

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Or he'll get benched and won't play at all, roll the potential triple hattrick record into Spurs game?

  13. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Have there been rumors that Cucurella isn't starting?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yeah, Chilwell said he was ready for today!

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A few but just rumours

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Cucu is the new Azpi

  14. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Who wins

    A: Pope + Cucu + Robbo (Neves) + Perisic (Saka) + Foden + Toney

    B: Ward + Trent + Martinelli + Odegaard (Collins) + KDB + Darwin

    1. Das Boot
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      B

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      b

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Or formatted better:

      A: Pope + Cucu + Robbo + Perisic + Foden + Toney
      Bench: Neves, Saka

      B: Ward + Trent + Martinelli + Odegaard + KDB + Darwin
      Bench: Collins, Andreas, Patterson

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        still b

  15. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Shots on target so far this season

    Salah: 4
    Gordon: 12

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Worrying

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      And yet he has scored more than double Gordon's points. Imagine when he actually hits form

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Almost double*

        1. Das Boot
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          but double the price

          1. Das Boot
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            I think the worrying thing for Salah owners is that he hasn’t set the world alight and looking at the fixtures Pool have had many would have expected a much bigger haul from him.

    3. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      English pride

  16. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Just realised Jota is back. More rotation coming 8n that front 3

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yeah Diaz probably going ahead of Chelsea.

  17. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Lol, I went James to Cucurella last week in order to gain an advantage on those that didn't pay attention. Not the best move admittedly. But cue a James 18 pointer with a Cucu 15 min cameo

  18. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Overall (C)

    Haaland 5.4m
    Salah 1.5m
    Jesus 800k

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      800k casuals captaining Jesus

      1. WATERMELONS
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        My brother Captained Kane. Smart mobile I think

        1. WATERMELONS
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Mobile? I meant move but he probably has a smart mobile

        2. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          I thought about it. Your brother has bigger balls than me.

  19. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    I dont give a feck If Robbo goes down 0.5. I will start him for his haul against Wolves.

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      That's the spirit

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Will be a long wait till GW22

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        get some snacks in

      2. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        lol

  20. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Anyone considering the following dirt cheap defence on WC?

    James. Fofana. Neco. Patterson. Emerson.

    Rotating the 4 cheapies for 2 spots.

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Nope

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Funny how big at the back was so popular at the start of the season and now we are talking dirt cheap at the back 😀

      Also remember how last season we were talking about FPL needing to change to game because forwards were so bad and now this season people want about 5 of them!

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        There's still plenty value in defence. That back 5 would be a waste.

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Not in WC but already moving towards a cheap defense..not that cheap though..
      James Trippier Saliba Fofana Neco the lowest I'm willing to go lol

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Allows this upfront..

        Salah Sterling Martinelli Gross
        Haaland Jesus Darwin

        Happy with that

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Nice. I'm looking at:

          KDB. Foden. Sterling. Martinelli.
          Haaland. Darwin. Mitro.

          Think Jesus will struggle and Martinelli is the main man stats wise.

    4. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Needs Cancelo who has hauled twice already and TAA potential to mega haul. Not for me

    5. GC123
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Don’t do it. FF harakiri

    6. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I am and had some template Reeson style with only 1 premium being James

  21. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    I know it's stupidly far away and the game is starting but humour me for this one question:

    For GW8 only, which combo(s) do you think will be the best? (WC9)

    A) Mitro (nfo) + Diaz (che)
    B) Alvares (wol) + Diaz (che)
    C) Isak (BOU) + Diaz (che)
    D) Darwin (che) + Foden (wol)
    E) Darwin (che) + Sancho (LEE)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      E imo

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A or C

  22. WATERMELONS
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Watch Robbo come off the bench to ruin my Neco first sub 🙁

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Well probably he will.. feck it

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    TAA haul looks likely early on

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Salah is finished. Can't believe I made the mistake again.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Oh man I thought you were going Haaland 😆

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Partner took out Haaland for KDB from her team 2 weeks back so I'm not allowed to captain Haaland because we have to suffer together.

    2. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Well he did score 10 points last game. What was the mistake you made?

    3. Josh.E
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      it's too early but I couldn't risk not captaining Haaland lol changed a minute to deadline

  25. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Very chalky boots for Salah.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Heatmap will be in the car park at this rate

  26. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Salah touching the corner post!

  27. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Anyone know Salah EO?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Probably pretty low.

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Hate that Salah is hugging the touchline.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Careful now who you say that around...

  29. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Everton will do well to even create a good chance to score today. They may have some passes in the final third, but creating a chance from that is going to be difficult. Passing from Liverpool is so slick that Everton will mostly be chasing shadows.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Lol

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      They just did!

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        They didn't though. Passed it square and noone to shoot. So still no shots or shots on target. As I said, they will get some chances to pass in the final third, but they don't have the quality to put it all together.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Liverpool have a good attacking midfield but would say it's let's physical than the Everton three. If they get a chance to go at them, could make a difference.

      Maybe why Lampard went 3 in midfield?

    4. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Three times the amount as Pool at the mo

  30. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Pool defence so bad now.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yep
