Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins at the City Ground, where Nottingham Forest and Liverpool meet in the 12.30pm BST kick-off.

Most Premier League clubs have played three matches over the last week and none have had turnarounds as quick as Liverpool, so there is unsurprisingly more rotation from Jurgen Klopp today.

Having made five changes to his starting XI in Gameweek 12, the Reds’ head coach has done the same again this lunchtime.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is among those players dropping to the bench, while Darwin Nunez – flagged as a doubt ahead of this game – isn’t involved at all.

Thiago Alcantara doesn’t make the matchday squad, either, with Klopp explaining ahead of kick-off why those two players aren’t available today:

“No [it’s not precautionary], I wish I could do that.

“For Darwin the game comes too early, he still feels the intensity of the game muscle-wise so there was no chance he could play today. Maybe he could play tomorrow or on Monday but not today.

“And Thiago got a bad ear infection overnight. The decision was made this morning at 5.15. That’s how it is sometimes and that’s the reason for that.” – Jurgen Klopp

Jordan Henderson and Kostas Tsimikas are the other two players to make way, while Andrew Robertson, James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Fabinho and Curtis Jones are handed recalls.

If Klopp is sticking with his new-look 4-4-2, Darwin’s absence means that Mohamed Salah looks set to play through the middle alongside Roberto Firmino.

As for hosts Nottingham Forest, Neco Williams gets another start and comes face to face with his old club.

Steve Cooper’s two changes see Brennan Johnson and Orel Mangala drop to the bench and Taiwo Awoniyi and Cheikhou Kouyate return.

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest: Henderson, Aurier, Cook, McKenna, Williams, Yates, Freuler, Kouyate, Gibbs-White, Awoniyi, Lingard.

Substitutes: Biancone, Worrall, Mangala, Hennessey, Surridge, Johnson, Dennis, Boly, Renan Lodi.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Fabinho, Jones, Salah, Firmino, Carvalho.

Substitutes: Adrian, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Tsimikas, Clark, Bajcetic, Phillips, Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold.

    What will it take for people to admit Salah isn’t worth 13m of your budget thus season?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      They will stay stubborn then when he scores they will type ‘the Egyptian king’

    2. Mirror Man
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Once letstalkfplreview sells him he'll drop to 1% ownership

    3. sminkypinky

      Said this week getting him back after the City game was the biggest mistake thus far of my season. Almost benched him before Andreas but bottled it.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Not much convincing. Out of my team in GW8. Only came in due to blank & good fixtures. Can see him departing again.

      Thing is I've got tons of money ITB and Salah is still ~6th highest scoring midfielder as we speak.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        KDB the only reason I got him.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think anyone is not admitting it anymore

    6. jack88
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thats what i Have been saying so far

    7. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm keeping him from the beginning and suffered
      He has surely past his peak and no Mane Liverpool suddenly looks so toothless
      I think I can wait for one another weak at best

    8. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He isn't worth 8.5m considering the quality of player in that price bracket.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This

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

      Not much. Haven't owned him this season

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

      Havnt had in my team for a while only got him.in GW12 as had KDB in my team

  2. Old Bull
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On balance it’s usually a good idea to avoid the lunchtime games, not always but usually

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

      Captain next GW?

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Usually

  3. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    NFO best player, Carvalho, is out. Now there is hope for Liverpool

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How many bonus pts for Neco?

  5. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    After they will say it’s Trent’s fault

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Klopp should have started him, he is an idiot and underestimated Nottingham

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

    When do Liverpool get to play Rangers again? 🙁

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Conference league next year

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

        Bold shout to think Liverpool get Top 7!

        1. FantasyTony
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Once Stevie G replaces Klopp they'll get a new manager bounce

  7. EL TANO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Still time for an Aurier brainfart
    He’s looking scarily loose as usual

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

      Not ideal with white shorts

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    pep time incoming

  9. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I'm starting to think the problem isn't the position Salah is being asked to play...

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

      Rather it's the being asked to play

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      True,the whole team are dis functional

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, Salah unable to cut in frequently due to how dysfunctional the team is

  10. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Poor transfer business in the summer led to this. Liverpool might not make top 4 this season.

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      There is no way they get top 4

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

    How sh— are Rangers?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Retry sharp

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

      Well Rangers made Gerrard look good and look how he's fared...

      Although sounds like his assistant was the real coach.

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Playground logic says they’d lose 8-0 to nfo

  12. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Klopp to be replaced by Poch?

    1. Urban Cowboy.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The scouse dream Stevie G.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      only if they are OK with going without trophies

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

    My neighbor is a Liverpool fan with a short fuse. The yelps of misery and slamming doors are really entertaining. Tremendous fun, in fact.

    1. FPL Brains

      • 14 Years

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No active manager captained Salah.

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        we all know that's not true - no need to kick folk when they're down - and there is time yet

      2. Josh.E
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Undo-chip. I'll back that.

      Or some degree of penance to undo terrible transfers (preferably not sexual).

  28. Steve The Spud

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
