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

    Everton have been the better team.

    Interesting they are targeting the TAA and Gomez side.

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

      That's just sensible

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        It is. The space its created on the right has led to some good opportunities for Gray and Patterson with the extra space. But Gray hasn't been using Patterson very well, holding the ball too long.

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

      Lampard has finally learned tactics

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Surprisingly!

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

      gordon needs to be making the run inbehind the pair, but he keeps just staying on the touchline ( i guess to stop TAA being free on a quick turnover), but it's hurting Everton's attack

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes I agree

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

      What game are you watching?

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        The game where every single Pickford kick has been to Onana and Gordon who are on the left wing

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

          Everton are defending deep. Doesthat make them better?

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Everton have got into better attacking positions. They've been comfortably in defence bar the double woodwork attack, which came from a long ball.

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

              Ok

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

        I think Everton have looked dangerous notwithstanding possession

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah. You don't always need to have the most possession.

          Leicester won the league playing counter attacking direct football

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

            I can see them winning this and that's not just wishful thinking

            1. TheTinman
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Liverpool came on strong in 2nd half vs Newcastle so I wouldn't count any chickens yet

  2. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    best defender for the next 2 for Robbo replacement?

    1. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Neco

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

      James Trippier

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

        this

  3. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I will just stop making substitutions. I transfered in Robbo, because he was a bargain at 6.8m and Longstaff for Zinchenko and Rodrigo. I benched Longstaff but Klopp benched Robbo. If Zinchenko plays against United and get a clean sheet, this week will be just perfect. Maybe even Rodrigo can start and score a hattrick with his dislocated shoulder.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thats just being silly. Maybe a brace and assist

  4. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Mane factor huge on Salah

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

      Salah was only motivated to score to piss Mane off...

      It's all making sense now!

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

        Yes. Now he has new contract and is happy to assist Darwin and others. But is KdB better pick now?

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

      When does this nonsense stop?

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        When Salah starts scoring probably

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

          Ok

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

    Klopp needs to give some stern words at HT

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

      Needs to do that weird thing with his jaw.

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

      Too busy thinking of something to whine about later on TV to distract from the fact his team aren't playing as well as they were.

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

      Flink wie die Windhunde, Zaeh wie Leder, Hart wie Kruppstahl

  6. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone thinking of selling Salah ?
    Maybe hold for 1 more week Wolves H
    After that a difficult run of fixtures
    Chelsea a
    Brighton H
    Arsenal a
    Man City H

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

      Might do Salah + Jesus to Sterling + Darwin gw8

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

      gone for me until i see his form return

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

      yes, planned it two GW's ago just not sure who to replace him with - main reason is to get Nunez in so Jesus/Haaland/Nunez front three

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      His spot in WC9 is looking quite tenuous. We will see!

    5. Manani
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      will hold till my planned WC during international break

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

      Should have gone weeks ago. Lots don’t have the bottle however.

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Plus no real premium midfielder alternative
        KdB maybe but Son out of form
        His transfer out wolud be for squad rebuilding
        I might do it for Zaha giving me £5m to improve my squad

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

          Spread the funds to Sterling/Kane or as you say spread to Zaha/Mitro etc. 13m too much to tie to an out of form player, no matter his history.

  7. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Not watching EVE v LIV. Hows it gone so far?

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Even enough contest. Both sides have hit the woodwork

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

      Liverpool look tired. Everton look okay. Both teams could have scored.

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

      Everton defending deep but they will come unstuck.

    4. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      0-0

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

    Darwin in top 3 most transferred in already for the following GW

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      people are strange, he's offering nothing at the moment

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

        Faces look ugly

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

      before his upcoming suspension? 😉

  9. gunner79
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Celtic 3 up

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

    anyone eyeing up a Haaland Darwin Auba front line...

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

      Got to wait to see where how auba fits in

      Think his broken jaw means he can’t play for a while

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

        oh that's a shame

        think he'll fit right in, goals will flow

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

        no - they're getting him a mask so he should be okay pretty soon

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

          Nice

          In that case one I’ll be keeping an eye on early on

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

      Mitro over Auba easily and get Sterling

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

        for sure an option, got Sterling now

        will just have to wait and see how Auba + Sterling line up, if Sterling is pushed too far wide then Auba it is

  11. HippY
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    The Salah experience has come to an end. Haaland(C) rest of the season, if he plays 90 minutes or 5 minutes

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Perma Haaland (c) lets go

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

      Agree. I'm done. He doesn't even look remotely threatening. He hasn't all season.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not since AFCON arguably

  12. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Can’t believe so many negative comments about Salah. If you’ve been playing this game long enough you’ll know he doesn’t need to be playing well to bring home the points. There are also bound to be blanks some weeks.

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

      not one would be saying anything if Haaland didn't exist

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I don't even care about returns at this point. It's just obvious he's playing sh .... week in week out

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

      it's more his positional play, the old Salah would be in that box, having shots, this season he's clearly been advised to bring his teammates into play.

      As FPL managers we don't want to see that.

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

        We shouldn't blame Salah, when Klopp is at fault.

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

    @ErlingHaaland is now the most captained player EVER for a single #FPL Gameweek!

    1️⃣ Haaland - 5,398,620 (GW6 22/23)
    2️⃣ Salah - 5,139,561 (GW17 21/22)
    3️⃣ Salah - 4,882,177 (GW13 21/22)
    4️⃣ Salah - 4,781,468 (GW15 21/22)
    5️⃣ Salah - 4,738,421 (GW18 21/22)

    There's a new King in town!

    1. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Teams increasing every year. Percentage owned will be better indicator

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

      Ward

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

      Wow

    4. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Percentages?

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

      Oh dear, perhaps I should have picked a better week to be brave

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

        fortune favours the brave

    6. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This was in a week when he could be rotated. Imagine a week when they have an easy UCL game where he is rested + an easy home game in the EPL

    7. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This was the week where there is a bit more uncertainty over minutes too. In other GWs and with Salah blanking too, it's going to be 200% EO from here on

    8. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Haha, more news at 10... every season that record is broken because of increasing teams.

  14. Das Boot
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Rangers getting pumped 3-0 by Celtic

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

      Delicious.

    2. gunner79
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Its so easy

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah 0 shots
    1 chance created, xA 0.07
    Not looking good

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

    Haaland is 180 to 190 EO.

    Salah 82-90%.

    Jesus 93%.

    Kane 11%.

    Makes sense to captain Haaland.

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

      Kane 11% is pretty incredible

      Him and Haaland were the two I was considering capping this week

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

      EO is not the main reason

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly. 2 hat tricks, not fear governs my thinking

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

        no
        goals are but probability wise too in a game where ranking is the outcome.

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

      Makes more sense to C who you think is going to score the most points

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

        everyone does that

        probability also means it makes most sense to captain Haaland and play Salah.

  17. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This is what Salah does. Invisible most of the game and pounces on a couple chances. All it takes is 1 or 2 counters and he ll haul. Can already see him scoring either via counters or a penalty and then everyone will call it jammy. It's just the way it is

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

      He needs to get in the box for that to happen!

  18. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah keeps playing bad and keeps getting points.

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

    Liverpool pen imminent

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

      nah - it's half time

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

      City bought VAR years ago.

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

        as well of lots and lots of very good players

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

          Another benefit of the Oil state, yes.

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

            bring on 2030 and all electric cars

  20. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Diaz is just an expensive Mbuemo

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

      Mbeumo?

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

        Muembo is decent player

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

          Mboomboo

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

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

      Couldn't have said it better myself

    4. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Trouble is, Salah is just an expensive Salah.

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

        maybe at the moment he is like an expensive Zaha?

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

    Is Firminho coming in ?

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

      I would play Bobby in midfield easily instead of that shittyyy midfield

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

      Yes

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

      yes and to score as well. 100%

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

    Carvalho off
    Firmino on

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Smart move from Klopp finally . Or maybe Carvalho was injured

        He got injured at the end of the first half

        I think its a silly move. Already being bosses in midfield

      Salah drops from RWB to RB

        Bobby no 10 probably and Salah wing back

    2. F4L

      Salah RWB, TAA RM, Elliot CDM 😛

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      only due to injury

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

        yeah

    4231 LFC here we go.

    1. AC/DC AFC

      are you American?

      1. FOO FIGHTER

        All of you crybabies who were arguing with me.

        Wouldn’t be a surprise based on his football knowledge (and music tastes)

    Needed a tactical tweak.

    Main issue for LFC has been 1st phase of build-up. Normally the LCM drops nearer Fabinho to provide an extra man to build play. But with neither Tsimikas nor Trent inverting,nor Carvalho as the LCM dropping, Fabinho is being marked out & the emphasis is all on VVD/Gomez to build.

    Raj Chohan

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years

      Yeah, they should bring on Raj Chohan. May be he can do something.

  28. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Not the most glamorous of decisions to make (missed deadline so lost a transfer … doh)

    Jonny out……… A or B ?

    A) Malacia
    B) Dalot

    Anyone know much about Malacia me assist history? I appreciate Dalot is probably more nailed.

    Only the 4 subs to survive now for Neco to come off my bench for Robbo...

    Diaz Darwin combining again
