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.

        I did. He might nick a goal or assist but can’t see him hauling in that one.

    So hey if anyone wants to feel better about hits next week I just took a -12. I played my WC very early and successfully but I really feel now is the time to break my team, take a K or two drop and put my team in order for the next 6 games.

    Patricio ---- Fabs
    Martial ---- Anderson
    Hazard ---- Sterling
    Kun ---- Aubameyang

    It'll be a shame to see my rank plummet next week but I do think sometimes you just have to acknowledge that you have to pay a little to keep up, and I could feel myself falling behind one week at a time

    Team

    Fabs (Lossl)
    Alonso, Robbo, Digne, (Doch/AWB)
    Sterling, Sane, Mane, Anderson
    Aubemayang, Arnie, Wilson

    Cheers to anyone who offered me advice earlier. I thought it all through and selected some (rejecting Kane) and ignored some (rejecting mane - he could and should have had 4 today and I have patience for him)

    I made all my moves early to avoid the rises and cos I'm busy tomorrow and Tuesday :0

        I've been on the verge of getting rid of Aguero for weeks. Him being a doubt is good enough for me as I can easily see another benching or 60 mins to try and get a little game time under Jesus belt

      Yet again we're going in different directions 😀

      I did Salah + Aguero > Sterling + Kane

      I see Kane as more nailed on and with a really great run of fixtures until January. Although I must admit I really like Aubameyang. I think Kane is slightly, just slightly, better and safer.

          6 is okay. I need the money to upgrade to Kane. I think Hazard is gonna play more than Salah over the Christmas break. Chelsea don't have anyone that can replace him and he's on penalties.

      Exact same score (66). Doubt I’ll be going anywhere at all just in top 20k. Boring up here.

      Sterling over Sane for the season. Just thinking it might be his turn to rest so idk if this is the time bring him in.

    Salah Success => FAnderson Kane worth -4?

    Just two double digits for Kane this season and busy schedule ahead and suddenly he is "must have".

    Keep Kun one more gw and then get Auba would be my advice.

      Auba now. United are leaky

      Aguero unlikely to play so may as well switch now

      Been playing most season without Alli Eriksen and Son. He was poor today tbh. Prefer him next week over Auba and as a non Salah owner, planning to captain him.

      But he was poor today, if he looks as poor next game I don't have trouble shipping him to Auba GW16

    The luckiest goal ever scored in Fergie time. An absolute travesty.

    Already done my 2 FT this week, willing to do a -4 but don’t know where. Suggestions?

    2.9m ITB

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Chilwell Doherty Robbo WB (3.9m)
    Richarlison Sane FAnderson Fraser (Hobjberg)
    Kane (vc) Arnie Auba (c)

    Think I jumped the gun but wanted the price rises. Did well this week with 69 points (maybe extra to come with bonus points).

    What would you change or G2G this game week?

      Mids look a little light, ok defence, good forwards, Kane will disappoint though and not worth the price tag.
