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

    2 more mins and that would have been a good outcome for Trent =[

    Kulu 🙁 Even with the form Son's been in...deserve to lose

      Relax, he can still do something from the bench... coming from an owner.

    WC so far: Firmino, Robbo, & Patterson's six points third on the bench. Nailing it.

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

      Got lucky benching Robbo and Firmino imo

        1 year, 8 months ago

        Ah, no, I meant all three of my players so far have failed to deliver for different reasons. I started the LIV players and third-benched Patterson...

  4. Mr. O'Connell

    Dare someone to captain Salah next week

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

      Removed c now, but will bring unless I offload and get a decent alternative

  5. FOO FIGHTER

    What a game. Once this LFC attack clicks, teams are dead.

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

      Is this the new talking about Bailey type of thing?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        This is a response from a 3 year old child.

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

        Probably the best argument to get rid of Pool strikers - Foofi recommends them.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yeah, they'll be killing teams in the last 3 games of the season while they fight for a Europa league playoff spot

    3. x.jim.x
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Going to happen the same day Haaland stops scoring

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

    GW4 - Salah blanks in 9-0 win
    GW6 - "Hold my beer"...
    ... Trent and Robbo not getting cs in 0-0 match in which they both played more than 30 mins

  7. Rainer

    Everton are and have been since last season a different team at Goodison.

    Great fans helping & Lampard has them well set!

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Actually I think they look substantially improved at the back this year with Tark/Coady & Onana, both home & away. Slipping off my defences to target list

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

      The players are fighting for him too!

  8. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Diaz Salah TAA total 7 points. Poor as…

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

      Raise you: Robbo, TAA and Salah.

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I’ve got Salah as captain as well…….that was an 18 point miss

  9. banskt
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Some people called me mad when I used my WC after GW2 to remove Liverpool players in an otherwise ok-ish FPL team.

    Liverpool looked (and still looks) all over the place. They are not getting top 4 this year.

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

      OR#13 hasn’t made a transfer all season and has zero Liverpool - working out well for him!

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

        Plenty in my league without 8k

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

        Oh wow! He started without Pool! That's something.

        I mean, I had to watch 3 games (Community Shield + first two league games) before making up my mind.

        And this could still go horribly wrong.

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

        They've also never finished in the top 100k in 16 years of playing and haven't finished in top 1 mill in last few seasons... think there;s a reason for that

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

      you are mad

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I know. 🙂

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Same here

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        How is your team working out mate? Mine has been rocking with Sterling and Haaland (c).

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Had a bad last gw. Fell from 87k to 139k. Lots of 1 pointers in Saliba, KDB and Webster and left Pereira on the bench...

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

    The typical thing today was that Salah was anonymous until injury time, then he comes to life when he starts getting fed the ball close to the box rather than out wide.

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

      Would be cool the be able to captain different players for different parts of the games.

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

        Danny Ings at Southampton scoring before 20mins used to be a favourite bet of mine

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

      Poor tactics from the manager. Says a lot when he comes alive in the dying minutes trying to force a goal himself.

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

        It was very odd how little they seemed to try to involve him

  11. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    TAA 59minute...damn Klopp

  12. RICICLE
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Salah gone for me now, Liverpool are finished

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Never write any team off. It's a long season.

      Salah definitely a different looking player after that contract. Hopefully not the Ozil effect. He's out on WC for me though.

  13. Manani
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    robbo replacement?

    or keep till WC (GW9)?

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

      Thats the problem. Will start against Wolves.

  14. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Why did TAA go off early?

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

      Because he played like sh**

    2. SirWenger
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      TACTICAL to ensure 0-0

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He was fairly average in my opinion. Milner not much better.

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

      I posted a tactical explanation at half time. But people never want serious analysis here.

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

    Salah more minutes than Haaland again today...

    Salah cappers win again!

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

      Very boring,

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

      Is this a minutes game?

  16. theodosios
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Come on Neco (C)!

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Brave call. Goodluck

  17. BERGKOP
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    An entertaining derby. Really enjoyable. Love football.

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yep.
      Football is ace.

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

    Can't believe TAA left at 58 min.... fuming.

    1. Who let Udogie out?
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Klopp certainly does not play FPL.

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      for Milner 😀

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Robbo, TAA dbl here as CS was so obvious

  19. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Eff off Klopp. Thought I’d outsmarted by selling Robbo and then you sub Trent off 2 mins too soon

    1. Martin66
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Did the same - Klopp can pick my toys up as I am not doing it

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

    Which Pool players you keeping?

    Only Diaz

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

      Only Diaz

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

      Jota back, Diaz' minutes are numbered.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      getting Nunez, keeping TAA for now

    4. banskt
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      None.

      I will buy Darwin soon-ish.

    5. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Probably only Trent

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    0-0

    no real points for Robbo or Trent as well as Salah's 3.

  22. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    I love football.
    I love playing football.
    I love watching football.
    But, my god, the amount of cr@p people talk around the game is so tiresome.

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

      I think football makes society dumber. We should spend that energy on other things

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Agree mate. What are you views about the new James Webb space telescope?

        1. Boss Hogg
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          For no reason at all I’m going to say that the James Webb space telescope is finished. James Webb should be sacked. Immediately. And I’m 100% passionately animated about this.
          So James Webb fans, call me now, Chris Sutton on 606. And we can talk sh@te for hours on end about nothing.

  23. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    5 subs is sh!te ..

  24. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Salah captiners ignored form at their own peril.

  25. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    The dilemma now is who goes first…Salah or TAA!

    1. SirWenger
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Diaz

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Salah .. not worth if not captaining

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yep thinking same, but concerned whether there may be another reason for TAA sub that we don’t know bout

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          watched the game .. looked a tactical switch

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

    Genuine benching headache next week:
    Salah (WOL) or Neco Williams (lee)..?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Lol, Leeds at home should beat Forest.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Play the one with more attacking threat. Start Neco.

  27. F4L
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    European midweeks only just starting and the minutes lost for top 4 players is already mounting up

  28. outernational
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Kulusevski benched seems a bit harsh, but likely being saved for the Champions League midweek.

  29. Dat Guy Welbz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Salah (C)
    (WOL)(H)

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      as if WOL are a walkover

    2. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      1000%

      Sellers will be punished just like Trent, Cancelo and Jesus have done in previous weeks

  30. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    What was I telling you about Salah?

    Martinelli does the sam job and ever more for 6.5 million less.
