Shaqiri back in the Liverpool attack as Klopp continues with a 4-2-3-1

The final match of Gameweek 14 is the third local derby of the day, with Everton making the short trip across Stanley Park to face Liverpool.

The Reds are unbeaten in the Premier League this season and have only conceded one goal in six top-flight matches at Anfield.

Marco Silva’s side have only lost one of their last seven Premier League fixtures, meanwhile, keeping four clean sheets along the way.

There were no major shocks upon the release of the teamsheets, with Everton indeed unchanged from the side that beat Cardiff City 1-0 in Gameweek 13.

Richarlison (£7.0m) leads the line for Everton again, with Yerry Mina (£5.4m) continuing at centre-back.

Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m) and Fabinho (£5.5m) all return to Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI after missing out in midweek, with the Reds looking like they will again line up in a 4-2-3-1.

This formation will presumably see Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) leading the line, with Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) dropping into “the hole” and Shaqiri playing out wide on the right.

Andrew Robertson (£6.5m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) also start for the third time in a week, while Joe Gomez (£5.1m) moves over to centre-back at the expense of Dejan Lovren (£4.9m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Gomes, Gueye, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Richarlison.

    Coutinho would have bent that in.

    Don't kid yourself Firmino.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hoilett would too.

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Townsend as well

        1. Rash
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Cedric as well

    If Liverpool persevere with this formation Salah will be a striker and Firmino a midfielder next year.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Yuk

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Will that help Salah's BPS

      1. Evil Greg
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Forwards get more bps for goals (24 to a mids 18), so should do.

    If you cannot (yet) get both Kane and Auba, which would you rather get in this week for Kun?

    Auba can be bought using just 1 of my 2FT, whereas Kane would require both, and losing Haz.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Lose Haz.

    2. GinjaWhinja
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm actually more interested in Lacazette than Auba.

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Auba

    4. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

      But Auba based on your circumstance

    5. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Kane will bounce back and is a clear captain choice next gameweek.

    6. thunder_mike
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 4 months ago

      I am going for both, I can do it this week for a -12 but was planning on keeping Salah for Burnley

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        that's the thing

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think Kane this GW, then get Auba in for HUddersfield home GW16 - they both look good vs. Haz & Kun's current malaise

    8. emodabi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Aubameyang looks a great value but Kane is also in form. If u can manage to Get Spurs asset in the mid I guess Auba is better option otherwise would recommend Kane imo

  5. Sim Simma
