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.

    Dropped VVD and Mane to TAA and Sane this week, full on assist-gate!!

  2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Somehow came out of this GW with a green arrow on LiveFPL despite having the Kun, Salah, Haz holy trinity and no Kane, Auba or Sterling...

    Probably time for some free transfer action to be fair

      livefpl.net - it is a fantastic piece of coding

      1. BrutalLogiC

        is it advanced enough to take account of non-playing captains and use double VP instead?

          Yes.

    I came into this round of the two FFS Cups as a 217k underdog. Seems I defeated my 94k and a 12k opponents.

      Was going to ask the same thing. I hope there is an article soon on this topic.

        I'm doing it GW17 as I have a quite good lineup for this GW and next but then fixtures swing for a few of them

    2. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm considering several one week punts over the break, then WC the last week I can to reset the team moving forward.

  8. gooberman

    Will finish on 70pts. Happy with that. All 5 of my defenders got clean sheets.

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

      Exactly the same 😉 and 9 pts for pereira sat on the bench haha ah well

    Hi guys

    i still have WC at my disposal but i don't know whether it is the right time to use it.

    Patricio
    Dunk Robertson Alonso Digne
    Maddison Hazard Salah Richarlison
    Arnie Aguero

  12. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What chance of Kun playing next gw?

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

      Training today has to boost his chances greatly.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        With everyone bailing on him am v tempted to keep

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

        If he's fit then I'll save my ft.
        We'll get more on this right?
        So i should wait or get auba
        Thank you

  13. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    So let’s vote.. who is keeping. Aguero, who is buying Kane, who is buying auba?

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I am getting Auba..

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Think I'm keeping Aguero

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

        Getting Kane.

      • g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Y
        N

      • Elfozzie 42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Feels to me that Kane is a bit 'Salah' this season.
        Great player and chipping in points but super costly and better options available.
        A lot will depend on how Spurs react to the result I guess, personally wouldn't leap into Kane just yet unless it was super easy transfer for you.

      • TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Auba in for me. Kane will require multiple hits, which is why I might not do that move.

      • S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Apparently Kun has trained today. Will probably keep him one more gw

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Good call..

        2. Hansel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

    3. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The sheer shock of that last minute travesty of a goal has led me into full tilt...just done an 8 pointer for possibly the first time ever in my fantasy career.

    4. wildnothing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      62 points all included. Somewhat average I guess. What did you get?

      1. grumpyman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        62.

        65

        70

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Don’t you mean 66?

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

        68, pre-match it looked very favorable, especially defense.. so a bit disappointing to be only perhaps 10 above average

      8. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        12

    5. xRedArrow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Never been more confused leaving a GW. Don't know which premiums are must haves or overreactions...

      A) Kane or Auba
      B) Salah or Sterling

    6. Squad goals
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Will there be press conferences before GW15?

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

      Looking good. But expect Haz, Sterling, TAA and Laporte all to be benched!

      Fabianski
      AWB - TAA - Laporte - Alonso
      Rich - Sterling - Hazard
      Wilson Kane(c) - Arnie

      Hamer - Paterson - Doherty - Hojbjerg

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Nah maybe 2 of them

    8. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Who scores more this week and next?

      A) Haz + Kane

      B) Salah + Auba

    9. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mane v Burnley or Auba v Man U

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

        Auba looks set for destruction - that man utd defence will be lambs to the slaughter

        Mane couldnt score furniture with a chainsaw at the minute

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Young McTominay Jones Matic Dalot 😆

    10. Benditlike
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kun & Haz > Kane & Sane for free.

      Yey or ney?

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

        Yay

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

        My exact thinking.
        Not entirely convinced Sané plays next though.

    11. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fall from 11k to 17k for punty David Silva captaining who I got for - 4.

      Stupid Pep. And stupid me.

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

        brave..

    12. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Haz/Aguero/Jim -> Anderson/Aubu/Kane? for -4

    13. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1 robbo bap has cost me 16k places 😮

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He's not getting one.

    14. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kun Haza jiminez to Kane auba + 6.0 mid for a -4 yay or nay?

    15. cescpistols111
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Better option to replace Martial: Son or Alli?

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Son nice differential

    16. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Surely Kane most obvious midweek captain choice based on his nailedness?

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

        Auba will be popular after today.

        1. BigBillyBass
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Fair

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

        Salah is a good shot too. Aguero if fit too.

        Hazard and Sterling too risky imo.

      3. I Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he is.

      4. MTPockets
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe although Salah for me

      5. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Apparently, not moving from 8k OR with 57 pts.

        Still owning Salah, Hazard and Aguero. Like everybody I have my eyes on Sterling, Sane, Kane and Aubameyang. I have 2 FTs. But will most likely just do Camarasa > Gunnarson to save a precious £0.1.

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

          don't rest on your laurels!

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

        Next few weeks will likely be one of the first make or break moments this season, with the breadth of options becoming available and early season template starting to break.

        Already got Auba in, planning on Kane Sane replacing Salah Haz etc soon, maybe

      7. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Pickford is England’s no 1 GK. That almost gives it away.. looks like you need to be Mr calamity to get that job
