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.

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Arsenal can’t defend

    2. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years

  3. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Best choice for Spurs mid?

    Simply because I feel that Kun will play and score midweek, and hence do not want to switch to Kane this GW

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years

      Kun doesn't score away from home and has Wat & Che away next 2. Kane (c) in for Kun is the move this week. Don't regret it

  4. KJT123
    • 13 Years

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

      Same dilemma

      Think I'd rather have sterling but I like sane's price as I can up grade my defence

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

      Both

    3. HonestBlatter

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Best Long term choice in for hazard

    A) Sterling

      A

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

    Kane is so darn expensive grr

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

      Isn't he make the decision between him and Auba that much trickier

  11. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Tm what moves are u thinking of ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Too many combos.

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

    Mods- create a thread for Kun vs Kane vs Auba. The same question is being asked repeatedly, it's all we reading atm.

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

      As if people look at hot topics before asking questions

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Well, now it is impossible. And after writing here 100x check ht, they might.

    2. AVFCChris1984
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think they need the option to create polls

      Kun or Kane or Auba
      Sterling or Sane
      Best cheap Mid
      Etc etc

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bookmarked

  14. MrFrodo
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I’m thinking on going Aguero > Kane this GW then the following week going Kane > Auba. What do you think?

    A. It's a waste of a transfer and that i should just decide on one.
    B. Its a good idea.

    1. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A - If Southampton can get 2 past United then surely Arsenal can get at least a couple

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Step by step. Kane first then reassess

    3. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A combination of A and B. You really need a big Kane score since you are planning to get rid next gw..

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A

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

    Hazard + Diangana for Pedro + Eriksen

    Yay or Nay?

    (Have no Spurs cover)

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    He scored 10 goals from last 10 SoT, will play wide away against Morinho side and people are massively knee jerking him?

      i wouldnt read the stat much to that but i really think the stage is set for maureen to nick a result and stay in the job

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        You could be right mate

  17. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison or martial?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Was looking at this on a potential WC. Actually leaning towards Martial. Richarlison has only actually scored in 4 games this season.

    What would you do with this lot:

    Henn
    Alonso Robo Laporte AWB Doherty
    Sterling Salah Hazard Kenedy Rich
    Murry Arni Kamara

    2FT 0.4 ITB

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

      Salah hazard and Murray to Anderson Kane and sane -4

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

        Cba to work it out but you could do that with kamara instead of Murray

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    No one is overpriced if he is your captain and he is delivering while you give him the armband.

    Ronaldo was 14.7, Henry over 14 etc ...

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hitting myself for Kane in 😉

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ronaldo was never 14.7

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yes he was. You are wrong mate

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          He started 14.0 and missed several games at the beginning. He had low ownership and kept rising. He was around 14.6 long time. Hisax was 14.7 and came close to 14.8.

          Any veterans out there to confirm it?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            I can confirm it. 14m max

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              No mate. He started 14 and kept rising... How can we check this. Surely he was above 14. Surely!!! He started at 14.

  20. Egbunike
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How about this WC team? Would you have any suggestions?

    Fabianski | Hamer

    Alonso | Alexander-Arnold | Doherty | Balbuena | Wan-Bissaka

    Sterling | Sane | Richarlison | Brooks | Camarasa

    Kane | Aubameyang | Arnautovic

        Thank you

    2. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nearly the same as mine. I like it.

      I'm wondering whether to get a playing second keeper though? For some reason I feel more vulnerable without Ederson and that extra cash could go on a reserve. Only option is Adrian/Lossl I suppose.

    Fabianski Button
    Alonso Robbo Laporte Doherty ____
    Sterling Sane Siggy Fraser ____
    Arnie Jimenez ____

    Would you fill the blanks with:

    A) TAA/Bellerin + Camarasa + Kane
    B) AWB + Anderson + Auba?

    Why people losing Hazard before Wolves game?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wolves are better than Fulham?

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Huh?!

        1. Evasivo
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Not of late

          1. TorresMagic™

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            Fulham leak more than Wolves.

            1. Evasivo
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Fair enough, think Chelsea are unpredictable ATM. I just think next week is the he to ditch

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Hazard could be rested midweek to get ready for City too.

                1. FPL Daniel
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Hazard won't be rested and he looked better then I expected

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          6 points vs Fulham.

    Ederson
    Alonso Robertson Duffy AWB Doherty

    *Aguero Arnie *Jimenez

    Which should I prioritise?

    1 Hazard Aguero > Anderson Kane (-4)
    2 Martial Aguero > Anderson Aubam (-4)
    3 Hazard Aguero Jimenez > 4.9 mid Kane Aubam
    4 Hazard Martial Aguero Jimenez > Armstrong Anderson Aubam Kane (-12)

    1. FPL Daniel

      4

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        But wait on Anderson one week and save 4
