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

      If Ole can do it, Ten Hag can.

      When Matip and Thiago come back into the XI, I expect Liverpool to be a force again though...

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

          • 10 Years

    LiveFPL not showing ownerships?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I think he has to fix bugs most weeks.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years

        Mark broke it with KDB captain. 🙂

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Think they are struggling with the sheer increase number of players of FPL from season to season. Still great site for free.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        It is fantastic and not blaming Ragabolly/anyone involved.

        Just wanted to know if it is the same for others.

  7. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    It's crazy how lethargic Liverpool look these days.

    Klopp's tactics changed so much since joining the league. They now look like the stately old guard they used to press the hell out of. Still a fantastic team though.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Will be a massive achievement for Klopp to keep Liverpool competing for trophies as he has to replace the aging members of the team.

    2. The Sociologist
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Their players and style are a little different now with Darwin right?

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It's just that midfield trio. Henderson is long past being able to play the role of a box-to-box 8, and no-one there bar perhaps Keita (who is never fit) has ever been able to cover the ground that Wijnaldum did, defensively and offensively. Elliott is a tidy player and very young of course, as is Carvalho, but they along with Thiago don't have that physicality and intensity on and most importantly off the ball that those two did.

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Just need to get the midfield fit.

      Alisson
      TAA Matip VVD Robertson
      Thiago Fabinho Henderson
      Salah Nunez Diaz

      Kelleher
      Ramsay Konate Gomez Tsimikas
      Keita Arthur Jones
      Elliott Jota Carvalho

      Backup: Adrian, Phillips, Milner, Ox, Firmino

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        The issue being that Liverpool have had to play too many of the backups already this season and in some cases, 3 in the team at the same time.

  8. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Has Klopp peaked with Pool? This season starting to look a little reminiscent of his last season at Dottmund unfortunately.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They don’t have Mane and have a lot of injuries

      1. FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Mane was a huge loss. They miss his workrate massively.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Injuries no excuse

        Tactical decisions and team selection has been poor

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          The expert has spoken. Play with half your team missing everyone!

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

          If you take out Jesus, Martinelli, Odegaard, Saka, Gabriel, Saliba, Zinchenko and Xhaka out of Arsenal do you blame Arteta for poor selection?

          1. Scots Gooner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Their injuries aren’t on that scale, settle down.

      3. Kane Toads
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Mane's talent greatly missed?

      4. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        True and FSG has underinvested since Pool’s most successful seasons imo. Their midfield looks short of quality.

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I hope so, but doubt it

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not many managers can rebuild a team when it starts to age. Ferguson and Wenger were exceptions.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        That’s a good point. Even Wenger got the transition from the Invincibles badly wrong.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Teams rise and fall. I think the Premier League money and bottomless pockets of Chelsea and Man City have changed people's perceptions and expectations. The big 6 are entrenched in fans' minds. When I was growing up in the 80s different teams had a chance each season to win the league.

          1. Mambino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            you kidding - Liverpool nearly every year - nobody else got a look in

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Injuries.

  9. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Tsimikas you are allowed to make a forward pass

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Liverpool are awful

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      which team do you follow Bemba?

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years

        Villareal 😉

          1. el polako

            the Hammers

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

              Nice

              my wife's family are Hammers. Well, except the ones that support Manchester United!

              got some good friends who are West Ham.

              1. el polako
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                It's started for me in 2nd half of 90's and Championship Manager 🙂
                Then it was Paolo Di Canio, when I emigrated to UK I managed to get a ticket to see WHU - Arsenal at Upton Park and I fell in love with the atmosphere.

                Since then it's my team and wouldn't swap it for any other despite rollecoaster of results.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I support the premier league and follow arsenal

        My friends and family are mostly arsenal fans

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          And you are mostly clueless.

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          cool

          I lived on Highbuy Hill when I was born, right by the clock end and my grandad and everyone is Arsenal.

          But we moved north and I've been saddled with a league 2 club!!

          1. el polako
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Which is ?

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

              the not so mighty Bradford City.

              signs of revival under Mark Hughes.

              moved away so don't get to many games now.

              1. el polako
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                It's not the strength of the team that matters its the connection you have with it.

  11. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah on 2 bonus points

    😉

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Stop the count!

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

        blanks for everyone.

        Except Salah captainers.

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

      Liverpool's wing backs usually do well in the BPS.

  12. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone own a time machine?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes, but sshhhh

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I did

      But I forgot what year I left it in.

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        1962 - finders keepers

  13. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Klopp almost never subs in Robbo or Trent when benched, and even now with 5 changes he mostly uses only 3. So Robbo owners, you are in luck, your bench player will come in

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He's subbed his left back in 5 games out of 5 this season I think

      1. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah but it was tsimikas who needs game time. Milner also on bench who can play lb

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

      He used 3 because he had 17 year olds on the bench so far.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      lol. Robbo will 100% come on especially if they need a goal.

  14. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Diaz is allowed to deliberately hit players, apparently. Gets an extra minute added on for it too probs

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Play on!

  15. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Nunez is coming in. Thinking about removing Jesus for him...

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Please sell before Jesus has Everton at home

  16. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pool should have started Bobby to. There is not enough quality in midfield to create chances for Darwin - man goes wasted with this setup.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, surprised he was benched after his last performance. Just stick Darwin in LW...

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Starting Firmino and bringing in Nunez later was the play imo.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This. I could even play Bobby in midfield and Darwin up top together. Bobby has good work rate and also ok awareness for defending in midfield.

    3. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The setup forces Salah so wide that it effectively nullifies him.

      And while Diaz looks a player, I'm not sure he's the kind of player who creates chances for others. Looks more like someone you want on the end of chances to me.

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Needs a rest ; not a kid

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Nunez messes up trent assist

    Terrible header

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Great cross

  18. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    That awkward moment when everyone is debating the Haaland vs Salah C while I stand there with my KDB C.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I stand next to you.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Solid captain, you’ll be fine,

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not a bad choice though. Nailed to start and City are in goalscoring form, which probably means a lot of assists and BAPS for KDB>

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Was gonna but last game scared me off

  19. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    We had nearly 300k Salah sellers this week.

    If he fails to return it’s going to be 1m plus. WC’s galore 🙂

  20. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah is just not that good anymore

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      400k new contract and lost the fire

  21. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah goal please

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He is hugging the touchline . Diaz more attacking early on

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Captain him?

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No Kane, but Salah only just over 50% ownership now

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          EO still around 90% ish, will not be too desperate 😛

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Trent looks hungry for attacking points

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That's good cause he can't defend

  23. Fat Frank
