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

    Anyone else win £10 with that 95th min shot on target from salah

    1. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Celebrated it more than the Coady “goal”

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

      That as well as Pickford's yellow bringing me up to the 4 cards I needed on a small bet builder

  2. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Mark was right going with no Salah but he didn't back himself.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I've gone without Salah at the start multiple seasons in a row, this year I decided to be sensible and it has screwed me. Just cant win

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

      Can’t believe Mark jinxed Mo

  3. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Diaz a rotation risk now jota is back?

    If diaz starts in Europe might be his turn to be benched next weekend wolves

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

    xmins crowd in crying.

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

      They won, Salah played 97 mins while Haaland won't get near that,. Can't beat that victory

  5. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Salah's an xMins merchant

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

    Thoughts on my WC team?

    Pope.
    James. Trippier. Fofana.
    KDB. Sterling. Martinelli. Foden.
    Haaland. Jesus. Mitrovic.

    Ward. Andreas. Neco. Ferguson.

    Lots itb too.

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

      Too late should have been this week.

    2. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      A lot of faith in that Chelsea backline. Otherwise looks good.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Keep an eye on Isak today. Not sure about double Newcastle defence.

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Would prefer Isak over Mitro I think. Very solid though

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

      Nice. Brute Bernado over Fodenfreude.

    6. Tallahassee
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Some nice picks. Trippier with upcoming run, sterling and KDB. Unsure on Fodens minutes, wouldnt go pope and double che def too early imo. Also personally looking past arsenal so wouldn’t pick 2 on wc.

    7. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Needs more Patterson.

  7. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone else go for the Sinisterra punt?

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Yep so bound to go bandy!

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        I only did it cos I like his name tbh.

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          Doubt he can do worse than my Liverpool players anyway.

          1. Fish up a tree
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            He looks good & got a load of goals & assists for Feyenoord last year!

            Hope we are on a winnner!

            1. Traction Engine Foot
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 18 days ago

              Yeah, I thought he looked great in the last game. Good luck to us.

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Almost did but went with Gibbs-White instead in the end for a mill less, up top vs Bournemouth today and 2 more great fixtures before WC, Hopefully it proves a decent punt?! Good luck with Sinisterra, looks a decent punt too.

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Considered Gibbs-White too, good luck!

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Time to scout Cucurella...

    1. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Bound to score cos he’s sat on my bench

  9. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    7 from 3 not any good .

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

      Lol … prob at the same for most which is a blessing

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

      I got 5 from 3….enjoy the jam.

  10. Football is home
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Salah's rule: Salah blanks every other match. He never perform well twice in a row.

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

    on the upside, least we can use the Salah money elsewhere

  12. Bollard
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Everyone will be a Salah Capper at 5:30 anyway 🙂

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      yep

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      but what about 6.40 pm?

  13. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    If you have TAA Salah & Diaz
    Who to Keep ?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      All 3 for Wolves at Home

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Prob all 3 for wolves at home.

        Then one of the mids.

        I have always been stung very badly by getting rid of salah

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      all three or ditch Salah

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Thinking Salah because of value release potential.

    4. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Salah can be De Bruyne or Sterling

    5. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Def dont keep your wildcard

      Id gut the roster and redistribute Salah funds

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

      Only Diaz

  14. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Time for Chelsea wing backs hauls 😎 especially with midfield 3

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

      As owner of both, I wouldn't mind

  15. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Kane goal in approximately 30 minutes

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Bemba Da on guard

  16. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Saša Kalajdžić easy for you to type!

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

      Kala from now on …. Although some people will take umbrage at the shortening lol.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        confused with Kulu?

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

      He is only 5.5M I made a post about him, 23 goals in 57 games in the Bundesliga, he has to get in the first team somehow.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        I thought he'd played in Austria?

        Serbian heritage but eligible for Austria.

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

          His last club was Stuttgart.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        he's starting today mate

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

      sa-sa kal-i-jitz

    4. Tallahassee
      • 13 Years

      Easier to copy, thanks for the trouble !

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        yep

        I did have to search. Wikipedia gave it to me!

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

      Very surprised he's straight in, will be keeping a close eye on him. Wolves look a tidy outfit with the arrival of Nunez and Guedes in particular

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

        He is rated as one of the top strikers from the Bundesliga, he is a top player.

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

          Scored a couple against Scotland at Hampden too

        2. OLDHERMAN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          He absolutely is.

  17. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Good form low Xmins > Bad form high Xmins

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

    Well that was a great 0-0 I have to say despite being FPL diarrhoea.

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

      Agreed, they've played out some awful 0-0s down the years but this one was a great watch

  19. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Patterson (last on bench) scoring 150% more points than my Liverpool players.

    Acca dead after first game. Can't make it up.

    On the bright side. Yes! Liverpool LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

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

      As Ghandi said, never back the early KO!

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Enjoy the lol at Liverpool trophy.

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

    Salah captain vs Wolves locked in 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I am with you

    2. Football is home
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I am going for Jesus but despite all the hate for Salah I'm keeping him for one more game.

    3. SirWenger
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      SAME. Full trust for Mo

  21. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Everyone forgetting Liverpool won 9-0 last week already lol

    1. x.jim.x
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      How many points did Salah get?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        999 times out of a 1000 - double digits

        1 time out of a 1000 - 2-3 points

        1. x.jim.x
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          1 result versus a Championship team or 5 results versus Premier League teams…

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            Previous 3-4 years vs 5-6 games of one season

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Oh God, give me patience...

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

      Bournemouth was the reason more so than Liverpool themselves.

      You'd have scored last week vs them.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        True, but 9 goals…

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

          From an xg of 3 I believe

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            xG xA xGI or whatever, at the end of the day they scored them.

            Probably just under achieved their xG past couple of games

    4. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Doesnt matter, we still only got 3 points for it, need consitency not bullying bottom teams

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        It’s a good sign of things to come.
        Merseyside Derby always tight, especially at Everton.

        People are just so fickle

        1. POGON 1948
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          Good sign of things to come FPL wise yeah, but in real life Liverpool's season is already 'over' in relative terms. 9-0 is all well when you don't drop points to Fulham and the like

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            Nah no way, City and Arsenal will drop points for sure

  22. Well you know, Triffic
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Klopp tore up a world class attack with Mane, to replace him with a tanned version of Andy Carroll.

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

      Mane wanted to leave

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        He didn't. He wanted to stay but Pool screwed him over with the contract. He was actually more important to their team than Salah.

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

          They couldn’t sell the golden boot winner who was also the best player in the world a year ago

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Diaz is Mane's replacement and he looks decent in my opinion.

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Thing is, if he kept Mane, he could have had a front 3 that can interchange in their positions (Mane and Salah can and have played ST). Just feel he took a unecessary risk in bringing in Nunez when he had a world class attack already.

    3. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Well you don't know

    4. Football is home
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Never buy a striker with a man bun unless it is Haaland.

    5. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Mane can't play in Salah's shadow forever .. so he left

      they need creative mids to help attack

    6. DMP
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Diaz is a Striker, not a Winger.

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

        He can drift from the left to the middle, not play as a Winger.

        Give him some time to adapt. The team isnt playing well. That doesnt help.

        Benfica fan here. He has what he needs to succedd. Only needs some trust. First season for Benfica was the same. When he started he didn t stopp anymore.

    7. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      How many of these Mane comments? Electricity prices are off the roof so I would consider sparing the comments for others.

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

    Salah mins per non-penalty xG last season = 146
    This season = 210
    OK but not good enough for the same price and with Haaland a perma-cap option

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      And awful fixtures ahead. Totally not worth it.

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

        This

  24. Manani
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    go the Liverpool trio
    Robbo, TAA, Salah

    surely keep for wolves right? only 1 FT

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Easily barring injuries

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Let's see the minutes vs. Napoli.

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

      Classic. If we sell…they will smash it.

  25. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Last season I went without Salah GW3-7 and it ruined my season.

    If I’d have done this year it would probably have made my season.

    Bloomin typical as they say

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      You'd have gotten Son instead and done even worse.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        That’s an excellent point actually, thanks for pointing that out!

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Going no Salah would have made no difference - as seen by most of the players that have gone without. Son a bigger fail so far. And the money saved wouldn't have gone anywhere useful.

  26. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    De Bruyne cappers will win today

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Why thank you. I do hope so

      1. Qaiss

        I wanted him as soon as he got benched in the week. Didn’t get him in the end but he’s going to haul, Villa are really bad

      No. James(C). Backed out last minute.

    I am going to have a good look at all the crybabies on here getting Darwin into their team.

    Let me get all the 3 year old responses.

      How's "flagpole" Haaland doing mate, still getting rid of him?

    With Salah's blank, my 6 week captain stats are at (0 goals, 1 assist) - roll on 2023/24 🙂

      That's rough mate, margins can be quite thin sometimes. I remember one season a few years ago where it took until GW12 I think for me to get anything more than 5pts from a captain, granted I was a casual then but still horrific form, you won't be that bad at least!

    Cue everyone playing WCs to get rid of Salah and spread the cash only for him to score a hat trick vs wolves and be impossible to get back without a hit. Even in this horrid game he nearly scored right at the end. Klopp will hopefully make some tweaks to get Salah more into the game

      Is he even nailed on to start anymore?

      Diaz and Firmino look good. Jota and Nunez also around..

      Salah has become a creator, it is as simple as that.

        A creator who doesn't create anything. Interesting.

      Doubt people heavily sell next week but will be plenty of WCs around GW8/9 with no Salah when Liverpool fixtures turn

    4. Camzy

      Nah mate. Salah did not have many chances in this one and his influence is definitely down.

      You have to admit when you're wrong instead of doubling down. I did the same with Son after owning for the first 3 weeks - he's also another player that could suddenly burst into life but until then... Going without will be better.

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)

      My plan from this week was to lose TAA and hold Salah for today and Wolves but that's it unless I see a big change with Liverpool. I can't back a player from a team playing like this with captaincy as I have little faith in them and for 13m it's not worth it

      Yeah, think I'm going to keep him at least until I WC in GW9.
