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 ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Lets see who plays this week first? cha

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      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. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

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

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Sure

  2. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Minimum goal and assist Salah please.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Dream on

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Lucky to get a shot on target at this moment

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      This

  3. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Darwin Hat trick incoming

    1. Das Boot
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Fingers crossed

    2. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Red card in first 5 minutes.

  4. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    KALVINNNNNNNNNNNN

  5. Valar(Keith)
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 18 days 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

  6. Kodap

    4 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Unbelievable!

      1. tangtastic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Geoff!

  7. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    #GW6 Elite 1000 Summary

    - 65% captain Haaland
    - 33% captain Salah

    The shift has begun...

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Very reactive rather than proactive

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 18 days 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. ☈☾
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

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

        2. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

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

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Oh dear

  8. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Assist max for Salah

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Nah, unicorn points for sure

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A much tamer sequel to Mad Max.

      Assist Max: BPS Road.

  9. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Maupay to wipe out pool CS? Would be typical fpl

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Gordon on form he could

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Hopefully

  10. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I'd expect him to feature, yes.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      hopefully he doesn't come on at all now

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Highly likely to come on

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          boo!

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      1 point cameo.

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        only 1 less than last week

    4. tokara
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      i dont expect him to come on based on previous benching

  11. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

  12. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Haaland has the chance to get a hattrick of hattricks.

    No chance he gets benched

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

    2. Stimps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

  13. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Have there been rumors that Cucurella isn't starting?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah, Chilwell said he was ready for today!

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A few but just rumours

    3. El Presidente
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Cucu is the new Azpi

  14. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Who wins

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

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

    1. Das Boot
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      B

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      b

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days 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
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        still b

  15. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Shots on target so far this season

    Salah: 4
    Gordon: 12

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Worrying

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Almost double*

        1. Das Boot
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          but double the price

          1. Das Boot
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 18 days 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
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      English pride

  16. El Presidente
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah Diaz probably going ahead of Chelsea.

  17. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days 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. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Overall (C)

    Haaland 5.4m
    Salah 1.5m
    Jesus 800k

    1. Stimps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      800k casuals captaining Jesus

      1. WATERMELONS
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        My brother Captained Kane. Smart mobile I think

        1. WATERMELONS
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

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

        2. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

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

  19. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. El Presidente
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      That's the spirit

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Will be a long wait till GW22

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        get some snacks in

      2. tokara
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        lol

  20. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days 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
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Nope

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days 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
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

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

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 18 days 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)
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Allows this upfront..

        Salah Sterling Martinelli Gross
        Haaland Jesus Darwin

        Happy with that

        1. Over Midwicket
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 18 days 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
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

    5. GC123
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Don’t do it. FF harakiri

    6. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

  21. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days 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
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      E imo

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A or C

  22. WATERMELONS
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Well probably he will.. feck it

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    TAA haul looks likely early on

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

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

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Oh man I thought you were going Haaland 😆

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 18 days 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
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

    3. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

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

  25. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Very chalky boots for Salah.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Heatmap will be in the car park at this rate

  26. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Salah touching the corner post!

  27. Mufc202020
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone know Salah EO?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Probably pretty low.

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Hate that Salah is hugging the touchline.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Careful now who you say that around...

  29. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days 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
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Lol

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      They just did!

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days 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
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days 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
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Three times the amount as Pool at the mo

  30. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Pool defence so bad now.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Yep
