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 actually think Lampard's a really good manager

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

      I am a fan too

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

      Better than Slippy G

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

        Worse player tho 😉

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

          Both great. At the end of the day Lampard out-stats him in almost all of the important metrics 😉

            (This doesn't include team trophies BTW.)

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

      Nah.

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

      I actually think that McTominay is a great holding midfielder.

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

        Erm I'm also a mctominay fan

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

          Marmite that

    5. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Based on 45 mins against a woefully out-of-form Liverpool side?

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

        No...

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

      I don't know if I'd say really good, but considering they've lost Richarlison, had no DCL this season and had next to no money to spend, he's done well. He's revitalised Iwobi in a role not many could have ever seen him do and the team is playing for him and they look tighter. Seeing people lump him in with Gerrard, who has spent a huge amount of money and can't decide what players or system he likes and doesn't like, isn't fair to him.

    7. PelePelz9

      Lampard stinks.

      Viera much better

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Viera automatically more pleasing than smelly Lampard ?

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          *aromatically*

    8. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Frank’s done more for Everton than the last 2 managers

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

    Please fantasy gods make it for Perisic and Cucurela to start

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

      Slim chance of both starting I'd say, unfortunately

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

        🙁

    2. Emp
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hit them out for sess and James

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

    Salah supporting role in 2nd half reduced to Assisting the Assister

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

    Salah has been awful for the last 6 months

    Not sure why he is seen as essential on here

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

      He ain't.

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

    Mark going Salah less this season looking like a smart call! 😎

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

      Only if he persisted with . He has Salah captain now

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

        Yep. Feel bad for him, making a call like that, bottling it and seeing it work out is the worst FPL feeling.

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

    Tzimikas playing way better then Robbo to be fair

  7. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Robbo would have scored that

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

      Naaah he wouldn’t he is terrible shooter

  8. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    No decent midfielders? Just play without one! Love it.

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Tsimitrash

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

    Liverpool are a team with a lot of interesting faces and heads

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

      yes they do have actually - good point

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

        Sculptor's dream

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

          mad team to watch on LSD

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

            😆 Do they normally look like caricatures or is the LSD kicking in?

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

      Tsimikas is fascinating!

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

        Sillyface (french accent please)

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

    Jota on for Salah before 60 I reckon

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

      for darwin not mo

    2. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No chance

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

    Salah sighting

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

      You down by the carpark?

  13. Espanyolie
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wonder if this time we can scoop some point off Liverpool in CL.
    They don’t look too balanced at the moment and 2 years ago it was already closed in the group stage…
    Probably just wishful thinking…

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

      I mean close not closed

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

    Nil nil was always a high possibility in this game. Early kick off and local derby plus both teams off form.

    1. Powers106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Still time to play but that’s exactly why I didn’t c Salah only vc

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

    Darwin strikes me as a bit of a donkey player so far to be completely honest

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

      it's not his fault how he looks

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

    A Salah sub at 59 mins would liven place up.

  17. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So what to do with Robbo? No other Pool def :/

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

      Keep for Wolves.

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

      do you need pool defence at the moment?

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm..do I need them? Cancelo, Trippier, Sidibe & Neco are the rest players

  18. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pickford racking up the saves

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

    3 nil nils and 4 draws at Goodison in the last 6 derby games.

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

    Is Salah annoying anyone yet?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Trent is

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

      look above

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

    Repost as bottom page

    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.

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

      Why not let them play first?

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

        Dalot going up tonight and no spare cash

  22. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Very tempted to WC now. 3 pool is not working.

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

      Sold them all after GW2 on WC. FPL has been great and anxious since then.

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

      If that's your main reason, maybe wait till GW8

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah not worth 13m.

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Around 6.5m I reckon

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

      too true...WC time perhaps

  24. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Imagine captaining Salah for the third straight week

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

      Try 6

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

        🙁

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

    Hold Salah. 4 more mins.

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

    Milner coming on. Why????

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Replace Salah?

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

      Elliot is goosed.

  27. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Robbo coming on

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

    Rough for Tsimikas owners!

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

    Darwin goal imminent. Salah out. Time to early WC?

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

    Milner on, game over.
