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.

    Not sure how I failed to make round 2 of the ffs cup. Hmm. Thought I’d beaten my opponent by a point?

    Another great result for Man U with their league rivals losing to Liverpool.

    Poor old Everton!!! I feel for you Pickford and Digne owners.
    How jammy was that
    Also anyone taking AUBAMAYENG instead of that donkey Kane
    Come on the Arsenal.....

    1. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years

      Terrible feeling, confirmed

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years

        Yep

  6. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard, Aguero=> David Silva, Kane 2FT?

    Plan weekend Salah > Sterling and Success > Mitrovic after that...

  7. LǝgleSs e|even

    Does klopp get a card for streaking into the pitch like that

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He will be punished I imagine.

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

    Virgil will get the assist as his was an attempted shot (however bad it was). They said Sané’s was a pass, there’s no way that Virgils was a pass....

    1. socho

      doesn't make the rule less stupid

    With my captain having played yesterday, not having Salah and having a double Liverpool defence, today has been a great day. I'm a Liverpool fan as well.

  10. dougyd

    Kun+Robbo>Kane+TAA for free?

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years

    Jordan Pickford . Ladies and gents .
    English football No.1
    Take a bow

      Lol

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Didn’t watch the world cup then? Of the first 94 min?. Or Everton at all this season?

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Who would be better for next 2 GWs?

    1. Hazard
    2. Eriksen

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not Haz. Your hairs will turn grey with his inconsistency

  13. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Don't really understand how VVD gets an assist for that goal.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He took a shot (doesn't have to be on target). It was a terrible shot, but it was a shot.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Rebound scored from his shot.

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

        Watch again out of Pickford hands

  14. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    VVD's given assist akin to kicking Sane owners when they are down.

  15. DMP
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Auba or Kane?

  16. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    VVD tried to pass the ball touches keeper, then hits the bar 10 times before Origi knocked it in. FPL without hesitation gave that an assist. Pathetic

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Did it get to his intended target?

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      How tf is that volley an attempted pass? Clearly a shot and that’s why it’s an assist, stop moaning, it’s the rules....

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        how do you and FPL know that was a shot at goal?

    3. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely wasn't a pass

  17. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth doing these transfers??

    A. Kun/ Haz/ Martial >> Kane/ Sane/ Son
    B. Kun/ Haz/ Martial >> Auba/ Sterling/ Ali

  18. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    God I love an assist scandal.

  19. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I started all my 5 defenders and they all got cs, the rest of my team though 🙁

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

    TAA assisting the assist

  21. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ball is on its way out and Pickford brings it in, then it bounces on top of the bar. And you're going to give it to Van Dijk? Idk about that...

    And Sane assist not ??? lol

  22. Ragabolly

    LiveFPL updated ranks after autosubs now. Will update again though when Robertson loses his bonus eventually. Cheers!

      I looooooove all these comments on VVD’s assist.

      The amount of aggression on here. Wow.

    • LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Cant decide who's worse Hart or Pickford. England and their rubbish goalies

    • gringo1000
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fab
      Alonso Laporte Robinson
      Richarlison Sane Salah Anderson
      Jiminez Wilson Aub

      A) Rich -> Dsilva for -4
      B) Salah -> Sterling for -4
      C) Stick

      Thanks!

    • potatoace

      VVD 35
      Allison 28

      Robo 24

    • 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      How about this plan?
      GW14: Salah, Kun -> Auba, Sane (-4) cause price rise
      GW15: Arnie -> Kane

      Or just Kun -> Auba for this week?
      Maybe priced out but can get more info and let Salah vs Burnley.
      Ta.

    • The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thought Pickford might have been awarded the assist.

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

        This

    • Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A) Hazard, Aguero to Sterling,Kane

      B) Salah, Aguero to Sterling, Kane

      C)Aguero to Kane this week, get Sterling next week. (No ManC cover this week)

      D)Siggy, Aguero, Lovren to DSilva, Kane, WanB -4
