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

    I’m 100% certain with Haaland and the cheaper Liverpool attacking alternatives (Diaz and Nunez) that you can live without Salah

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

      Most probably yes

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

      Problem js only having 3 spots up front. Not at all surprised that after a season of nobody wanting any forward, everyone now wants loads of them, typical FPL

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I was planning that for this week, but feared Firmino and didn't want to play my WC yet.

  2. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Crossbar challenge

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

    Any early Spurs and Chelsea team news ?

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

      Son and Perisic dropped for

      Richarlison and Sessegnon in.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        wow big call on Son, lets see.

  4. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    And I wonder why my rank is 1mil when my team looks good. I keep captaining anyone but Haaland and most of the time it’s Salah. I should’ve never captained a player who plays the early kick-off, it’s the golden rule!

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

      1m's not a bad rank (at this stage).

  5. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Having a bad feeling for Salah (C). I cant belive I capped him again.

  6. raymonds
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will transfer Robbo to bar

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

    Diaz reminds me of Trossard. Always seem to hit the cross bar.

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

    Salah out, Diaz + Nunez in is will be my next transfers ...

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Jota is back so Diaz not nailed

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

        In theory ...

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Think it’s just a fact with the amount of games there are tbh

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

            So too any other options from teams with European leagues ... would you prefer those from mid and lower table teams?

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah I have Zaha

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

                Ok, I am not

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

            Hell still be a good option though at 8.0m

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Not sure I agree. His stats aren’t that good and Liverpool look poor

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

              8.1?

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

        Jota will be eased in imo

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

    Salah and Archer to Diaz and Darwin for free ? 1 week punt before WC

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

      maybe - not too sure about Diaz though. I have Diaz for now and I'm going Salah to another mid and Greenwood to Nunez for GW 7

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

      I bet that something more urgent will emerge.

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

    Diaz could have just passed the ball in one meter from the post to left and Picford would have still frozen.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not his style.

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

      He did good. He followed his striker instincts

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

        Better striker knows when to tap the ball in and when to shoot with full power.

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

    Salah cappers desperate for that clean sheet

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      salah is so bad, why isn't he rotated.

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

        cos he has been so good for so long

        1. It's Fergie Time
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          not this season

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

          He creates chances from position that belonged to 66

  12. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Watching Elliott sprint is tragic.

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

    Decent half from two shite teams!

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

      Ouch

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

      Sounds about right

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

    Gordon and Gray have put in some great crosses, really missing having a forward with aerial threat

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

      DCL. When he is back ?

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

        And in form?!? He burned at least my top 5k finish last season.

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

        Supposed to have been in training this week so should be soon

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

    One positive with a Salah blank, will be the funds available when sold.

    Endless possibilities 🙂

  16. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Nunez and Diaz more dangerous than Salah but not nailed. Maybe avoid them all and get KDB

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

      They are nailed

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

        Jota?

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

          He wasn’t first choice at Wolves why he would be at Liverpool?

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

            not bout being first choice though Daniel is it - it's about rotation - hence Diaz not nailed

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

            You didn't tune in last season then?

            Nobody said anything about 'first choice' either

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      nunez gets enough chances even with limited minutes, not sure about diaz

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

      Don't understand this not nailed narrative ... it is still yet to be seen. Yes lots of games in horizon but we'll see.

  17. F4L
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    why is Gordon playing like he got no sleep last night, can barely run ffs

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

    Klopp out. Gerrard in.

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

      Pep next in line.

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

        well that just won't happen will it

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

          Klopps assistant.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Villa fans like this

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

    People captaining Salah over Haaland still is just weird.

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

      Haaland cameo and Salah scoring in second half might change that

      1. jimmyharte
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haaland is starting.

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

        Come off it. You know neither of those things are happening.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You won’t be saying that when Haaland returns 1 point later.

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not if Haaland starts. Then it's just missed chances not wrong decision even in hindsight as if had known both will start you would have anyway put money on haaland

    3. KDB United
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Assured minutes (up to now) on pens, can score and assist out of nowhere.

      (I also capped Haaland but he could be rotated soon!)

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

      Lots of dead teams already is all.

    5. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not over yet

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

    Anxious for Spurs and Chelsea team news

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

      Pretty sad.

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

      Why!

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

        Cucu and Perisic starting for me

  21. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Everyone saying Diaz and Nunez the best options for Liverpool.

    I think I’m avoiding them completely until that midfield is up and running again! They cant get hold of games.

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

      Doesn't stop them being the best options for Liverpool though. Not sure how the first bit links to the second bit...?

    2. KDB United
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They both just nearly scored

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

        Both hit the post and were close. I would have preferred Darwin over Diaz, but couldn't afford.

    3. F4L
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      they're still creating enough chances

  22. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wishlist:

    1. Darwin goal
    2. Darwin assist
    3. Salah blank
    4. Diaz goal
    5. Trent goal
    6. Robbo cameo & blank
    7. Diaz assist
    8. Trent assist
    9. Pool CS
    10. Patterson goal
    11. Everton CS

    Trying to find as many ways to be satisfied as possible

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

      Does it have to be in that order?

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

        Chronologically, yes

    2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You receive a lump of coal

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

        Doesn't make my top 50. But still pretty good tbf

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

      Only no 11 will happen unfortunately

  23. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any indication when Robbo will price drop again? Before the end of GW?

  24. SH1M1
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Nobody can tell me Salah is justifying his price.
    He’s been fortunate with some of his returns too !

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

      Where else would you spend it?

      1. SH1M1
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        If you own him, have a look at the upgrades you can make without him & you will see 🙂

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

        Kane and Darwin?

  25. Casualspotted
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah C massive fail

  26. Solly The Seagull
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah(C) locked next week

  27. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Liverpool win written all over this game. It is only a matter of time before Pickford sh*tes himself.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    6. Iceball

    7. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes

    8. BobbyV

    9. thegame983
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Every Salah point get me a 26 rank increase apparantly. So yes

    10. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

    11. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Of course.

    12. HNI
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Effective ownership less than 100% so def score a lot is good for me

    13. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      ja

  29. Digital-Real
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah looks confused this season, doesn't know when to make runs into the box. Never thought a player so selfish would be happy to play a supporting role.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He is playing as a creator this season. Simple as that.

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

      Mane?

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

    Taa playing like he should have had the rest instead of robbo

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Robbo was in worse state
