The van Dijk injury latest as Richarlison gets set for a three-match suspension

EVERTON 2-2 LIVERPOOL

  • Goals: Michael Keane (£5.0m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) | Sadio Mane (£11.9m), Mohamed Salah (£12.3m)
  • Assists: James Rodriguez (£7.9m), Lucas Digne (£6.1m) | Andrew Robertson (£7.0m)
  • Bonus: Digne x3, Robertson x2, Keane

A thrilling Merseyside derby brought second-half goals from Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m), with points shared thanks to an injury-time winner being ruled out by VAR.

The second half was an already entertaining affair until a Richarlison (£7.9m) red card was shortly followed by the dramatic Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) goal that was controversially deemed to have had an offside in the build-up. VAR decided that Sadio Mane’s (£11.9m) arm may have strayed marginally behind the line.

It denied Liverpool the win which would have put them joint top with Everton, despite their 7-2 humiliation at Aston Villa a fortnight ago. They started this march brilliantly and with a desire to rectify that. Instead, Carlo Ancelotti’s impressive Toffees eased into the match and remain undefeated.

“I’m not surprised about the reaction, that’s what I wanted to see but it’s still only a draw. But the game, the performance and the reaction, I think everybody who is with us thought today that was pretty good.” – Jurgen Klopp

VAN DIJK INJURY

Going into the match, it was difficult to know what to expect. Both sides entered proceedings with the league’s highest xG (expected goals) tallies but the previous three Goodison Park derbies had all finished 0-0. However, continuing the absurd attacking festival of recent weeks, it took less than three minutes for this streak to end.

The returning Mane put Liverpool ahead by converting a pull-back from Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), smashing into the roof of the net past Jordan Pickford (£5.0m); we are still without a goalless draw in this Premier League season.

Minutes later came a potentially season-defining incident.

A shocking tackle from Pickford felled the offside Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and whilst the goalkeeper was lucky to avoid a red card, van Dijk wasn’t so fortunate, limping off to be replaced by Joe Gomez (£5.4m). If the scan results for his knee injury come back with bad news, that will further diminish the defensive prospects of Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), who are outstanding in attack but already have to cope with the unconvincing Adrian (£4.5m) behind them in goal instead of Alisson (£6.0m).

Klopp’s comments above suggest Liverpool fans should be preparing for the worst, with beIN SPORTS reporting after the game that van Dijk could be out for up to eight months with ACL damage – but it should be stressed that this has yet to be officially confirmed.

BIG HITTERS DELIVER

Four of the five most-owned FPL players participated in the weekend’s opener. James Rodriguez (£7.9m) was the first to deliver, with a through ball to Calvert-Lewin forcing a save from the nervous Adrian. The Colombian’s resulting corner was met by a towering Michael Keane (£5.0m) header to make it 1-1.

With an ownership of over 40%, Rodriguez has scored three and assisted three during his first six league games in English football. Going into Gameweek 5, his xA (expected assists) total of 2.02 was only bettered by Harry Kane (£10.6m) and he looked dangerous again here.

In the 59th minute, his inswinging left-footed cross was met by a close-range Richarlison header that hit the post. Soon after, Rodriguez himself had a low shot that was saved by Adrian. It’s a shame for his owners that a first-half yellow card meant he only finished on four points.

On the other hand, Salah had a fairly quiet game until his goal put him on a higher seven points. An Alexander-Arnold cross was poorly cleared by Yerry Mina (£5.5m), straight to Salah who lashed it in with his left foot in the 70th minute. That was the sixth of the season for a man who still managed to emerge from Liverpool’s out-of-character shaming at Villa Park with 13 points.

Yet if Mane started at a lower price – rather than both initially costing £12.0m – there is an argument that he might be the better pick of the two. His six points here ended up being relatively disappointing, considering he was denied a late assist and therefore possible bonus points. Mane was also booked for a high foot on Lucas Digne (£6.1m).

The early opener was his fourth strike so far and he nearly replicated it after another one-two with Robertson, this time just missing the far post. Being priced similarly to penalty-taker Salah was always going to count against him but he is an interesting differential who was seemingly moved to centre-forward once Diogo Jota (£6.3m) replaced Roberto Firmino (£9.3m).

Fresh off an England debut goal that was quickly followed by two more caps, Calvert-Lewin has been deemed ‘Calvert-Lewandowski’, such is his goal-scoring form. Forgiven by many for his infamous barren spell that plagued Project Restart, he has had six price rises and will surely get more after his 80th-minute equaliser.

He rose high to meet Digne’s cross, once again showcasing his aerial dominance to bury his header into the bottom corner and score in his fifth successive league game. Everton’s next opponents are Southampton (a), Newcastle (a), Manchester United (h), Fulham (a) and Leeds (h). Perhaps they are a mixed bag but, with an affordable price and such high ownership, Calvert-Lewin has become a no-brainer pick in FPL squads.

“The second goal, we avoided pretty much all situations like this over the 90 minutes but one time we let Digne cross. I heard already when the ball was in the air from the Everton bench, ‘That’s it’, because they know he is really strong in these situations and he scores that goal. Good goal.” – Jurgen Klopp

RICHARLISON SEES RED

If it wasn’t for his late dismissal, Richarlison would have been a good alternative option for those wanting Everton coverage. Priced £0.3m more than Calvert-Lewin, rather than the initial £1m difference, he is on penalty-taking duties and his 28 penalty box touches (before Gameweek 5) had only been topped by Salah and Raheem Sterling (£11.5m).

His header was agonisingly close to putting Everton into the lead but the upcoming three-match suspension quickly ends his potential and rules him out until after the November international break. His bad challenge on Thiago’s (£6.0m) leg was a clear red card and may have caused the midfielder an injury, with Klopp saying:

When I left the pitch, Thiago told me in the red card situation with Richarlison he thinks he got injured. We will see if it’s true or not, but if the player felt like this then we need to have a look.

The match had other several injuries and knocks, with Robertson’s ankle in pain after a collision with Allan (£5.4m). He soon shrugged it off, unlike Seamus Coleman (£5.0m). The full-back was unable to partake in last week’s international duties because of a hamstring injury sustained against Brighton and it was the same problem this time, replaced by debutant Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) after 31 minutes.

FULL-BACKS GET FORWARD

Liverpool again failed to keep a clean sheet but their rampaging full-backs continue to deliver attacking points. Robertson outdid Alexander-Arnold, adding an assist to his recent goal against Arsenal. Similarly to Salah versus Mane, knowing which of these to proceed with is a tough call.

Alexander-Arnold has amassed nine shots to Robertson’s four, yet the Scot has far more touches inside the penalty box. Although Robertson bagged the assist today, Alexander-Arnold went very close with a first-half free-kick. His set-piece duties are a very important factor.

Up next for the champions are home games against Sheffield United and West Ham, before a trip to Manchester City.


Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Coleman (Godfrey 31′), Keane, Mina, Digne; Allan, Doucoure (Iwobi 78′), A Gomes (Sigurdsson 72′); Rodriguez, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk (Gomez 11′), Robertson; Fabinho (Wijnaldum 90′), Thiago, Henderson; Salah, Firmino (Jota 78′), Mane.

    This looks like a save FT (as it stands) right? I’m down in the depths at 3.2M OR so need to avoid unnecessary hits!!

    1FT 0.5itb
    Martinez
    Robbo, Chilwell, Dallas
    Salah (C), Son, Pulisic, Grealish
    Kane (v), DCL, Maupay
    (Forster) (KWP, Stephens, Branthwaite)

    Waiting to see how Bruno performs vs CHE before going for him. Kane to Kun from GW9 feels like it may be the move.

    Cheers

                Nice moves on paper definitely

                    Basically can’t endorse any moves anymore with the way this seasons going unless the players you’re taking out are injured or crocked in some other way!

                  Do not take this hit mate, Ings cant stop scoring, you kept Soucek that far and his stats show he ll score and Aguero has midweek game and he is another injury waiting to happen. At least wait until Friday to decide

                  1. Amey

      Ah, another Pulisic punter like me
      Not tempted by him to Rashford? I was tempted by that before my WC

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It’s one match. Surely we have to give him more time especially once Ziyech is playing which should free Pulisic up more

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I am down to 4m OR. Werner and Foden out for -8...... In panic mode with Jimmy(C).

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ooof. And I bet your team looked perfectly good on paper. It’s just a horrible start for most of us tbh. 33 GWs to go!

  2. nolard
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who scores the most points over the rest of the season:

    A) Jimenez + Brewster
    B) Maupay + C. Wilson

    1. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      it's only a matter of time before Wilson gets his annual injury

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hmm...I am on B currently.

      1. LegendMoon
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How about Maupay and Watkins

        1. nolard
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yes, could well be, if he continues his form.
          Maupay and Wilson have more track record, so I feel they are safer as of now.

  3. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts?

    This week= Wood and VVD ➡️ Cahill (4.5) and Kun -4
    Following week Maupay ➡️ DCL.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks fine on paper

      Any other forward you can drop for Dominic? Maupay's fixtures are fine.

  4. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How has Salah performed recently? I'm not sure whether I should invest 12.3 on him or not.

    Don't think I'll captain him in many games as well.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’ll be my captain in the next 2 probably

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Likely to be popular choice, I will probably go with Spurs boys.

    2. HNI
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      two home games not best time to remove. In away games Mane is most forward and in home games I have seen its Salah. Maybe it must be klopp tactics

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don't have him. Want to upgrade Barnes and Podence, wondering where to put money, Salah and cheapo or couple of decent midfielders.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's basically only reliable © atm for me.
      Looks up for it.

      Pool will need to score 2+ now that Virgil looking out.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hmmm, thats true. Putting in simple words, its basically Salah, Grealish, 3.9 def vs Bruno, Rodriguez, Lamptey

        The theory of only one of Mane/Salah getting mega haul has got into my head 😀

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Reliable © is most important for me.
          GL 🙂

        2. HNI
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Salah choice if you captaining him next 2

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

      He's been a little bit of a nervous watch as always, gives the ball away tons and spurns lots of chances, you always feel like you're onto a blank. But then he always scores. The points speak for themselves I guess.

      The next two games I reckon are juicy as a steak so if I didn't have him I'd be either getting him in or being really, really worried.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Being worried feels easier than getting him unfortunately 😀

    5. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think you need to have some players with high ownership and some punts with low ownership. High ownership players atm (higher than 38%)are DCL, James, Salah, TAA, Son. You cant have all of them else there is no real progress in position but you have to have at least 2 to cover the team if they haul. Out of those more chances to get a haul have Salah and Son. The EVE players are very possible to give points but less possible to give 15 or 18 points. TAA from the beginning i didnt get his ownership, happy to see still 39% still own him.

      So Son and Salah are good to have imo at this point. Captaincy is a different matter, depending on how much you are willing to risk (Salah captain for me is a bit boring since i know at least 60-70 percent of the teams who have him will captain him). I d say get him at some point and leave him there.

    6. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah is worth it not because of ownership because he will score a lot of points and good captain option. If you think Sterling or some other can outscore him then fine.

    7. CAPTAIN MO
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Let’s see the king got 40 as captain gameweek 1. 26 as captain gameweek 4. Now has two tasty winnable home fixtures in a row.. do the maths if you want to lose out on a possible 50 points ....

  5. HNI
    • 10 Years

    Weiner or Pussylic long term?

    1. g40steve

      Wrong forum 😉

    2. Zimo

      Wouldn't you be the one who knows?

      1. HNI
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Unsure thats why asking...Chelsea fixtures are a mixed bag and both not on penalties makes it tougher choice

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Oh you're actually talking about the players? 😛 I'd have Pulisic

    3. LarryDuff

      Personally prefer pussylic but each to their own 🙂

    4. CAPTAIN MO

      Did you not watch the game yesterday? Werner all day long!! Those telling you pulisic chose him over werner and want you to fail...

  6. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Like many others, I am in the Trent and Robertson owner camp. VVD is a massive loss. Alisson could be back next gw though which will be a boost. Seems like the smart option is to save my ft this gw and hold for Sheffield. Downgrade in order to afford Rodriguez/Fernandes/Rashford after.

    1. HNI
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I am going Digne + Robertson long term..VVD is irreplaceble so defensive problems will continue. Alisson coming back will remove errors but setpiece weakness will continue

    2. BERGKOP

      Definitely save

    Having sold KDB to Grealish for this gameweek I have 4.4 m sitting in bank. Assuming no injuries today/tomorrow team looks OK for next week. Which position would you spend cash? Upgrade of Podence Foden or Jiménez probably what I am thinking

    Martinez
    TAA Saïss Chilwell
    Salah (c) Son Grealish Foden Podence
    Jiménez DCL

    Forster Lamptey Mitchell Brewster

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      * my rank of 3.9 m worst ever by far so probably need some differentials

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd probably ship Podence out for Hames

    3. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, agree on Podence, Foden.
      Maybe a Chelsea player, or Rashford?

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jiminez to Kane/Kun looks good but not next week as Wolves host Newcastle. Podence to Bruno is where I’d be aiming to be. You probably can’t afford that without downgrading Taa also. Possibly Foden to Bruno. Ings is so consistent and looks really fit at the moment. Could go Mitchell to Ings.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        *Brewster to Ings

    5. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Podence upgrade. Foden can stay while he is a 6.5 starter. 15 pointer incoming there.

    Give Foden one more gw or ship him out for Grealish?

    1. LegendMoon

      give him the elbow

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      As long as Foden starts he is worth it. Could have had more yesterday

    3. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Keep. Definitely. Thought he played so we'll and was very unfortunate to not get a goal and some assists.

        1. skodaole2
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          My captains have worked that far and having both Kane and Son should cover me if Pereira wont perform but this GW seemed like the right one for a punty captain. At least i ll have one more day to hope 🙂

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • 11 Years

            I hope he does well for you since I’ve had him from gw1! Best of luck!

    How many points did Andy lose using his impulsive wild card? Tnks in advance

    1. Joey Tribbiani

      Most of his players are still to play

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years

        I am thinking more of who he ditched

        1. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          got rid of Adams, Foden and Digne

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      He should blame LR 😆

  17. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wow. Lateriser really should be getting on this patreon scene. He should charge the other ' pro pundits' for his service. Andy played a blinder by inviting him onto the breakfast show.

    Asked what he would do on a wildcard and picks the players LR gives him in his wc team 5 mins before the deadline

    Absolute genius. Although a little sneaky Andy 😉

    1. Big boy Bowen

      It’s pleasing to see the eventual template basically be the team I had from week 1, very rare!

  18. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Brewster 1 point confirmed

  19. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    How’s 29 (-4) plus Kane (C), Son, Soucek, Dallas, Lamptey & Martinez to go?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      We shall soon see.

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years

      Better than 29 (-16) with Martinez, Lamptey, Taylor Son (c), Brewster and Kane to go.....

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It’s that -16, ouch!

  20. Begbie.

    Brewster benched while two absolute clowns in McBurnie and McGoldrick get a start... Come on Fulham 🙂

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Great. Werner & Foden -> Brewster & Son going great so far

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      0-0 written all over it

    3. Bennerman
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Couldn't quite understand why many people seemed to assume he'd walk straight into that team, given he's a youngster with very little experience and Wilder is a manager who doesn't throw in lots of changes (though admittedly it is up front where he changes most).

      As a bench player, mind, 4.5 is of course a great price and serves a purpose. (I had Davis of Villa at start of season for same reason, for instance.)

      1. Begbie.
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I assumed he'd walk straight in due to the fee they paid and the fact McBurnie is hilariously bad and McGoldrick isn't much better. Had two weeks training with them over the intl break too so wasn't too short a turnaround between his signing and this match etc.

        1. fish&chips
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Same. Let's hope he still gets decent minutes

        2. Bennerman
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          True, he can't stay a bench player for long for that money at Sheff Utd. But Wilder is pretty conservative, didn't see him throwing Brewster straight in personally. I don't know when he last even played a match, so match fitness a concern straight away as well.

    4. Shark Team
      • 6 Years

      McBurnie knows how to score against weak sides like this fulham

      not srs that’s horrible

  22. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    No Brewster

    1. Dynamic Duos

      Bench

  23. Hotdogs for Tea

    Brewster owners ... holding or selling ? 😉

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      May as well keep, unless that 0.1 Davis offers is that important

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry just got the sarcasm...

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He could come on in the 72nd and score a brace.

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hopefully!!! I’m on 13 after hits with Martinez, Lamptey, Taylor, Son (c), Brewster and Kane to go......... if Brewster is a no show then Klich comes in but I expect him to make an appearance at some point.

    3. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Depends if come on and scores a brace or not.

    So brewster on bench

  25. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haha I see the logic of Brewster srarting went the same way of James starting. I did try and warn you all ladies...join my Patreon i will show you the light

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      We were all mental to assume Wilder would drop one of the two clowns currently up top for one of the most promising strikers in the league 🙁

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Especially as Sheffield United are so prolific

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Never looked at Brewster as an option for my XI. He is purely a 4.5 fodder that has the potential to get minutes and score the odd goal which you could be lucky with coming off your bench.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yep. Even at 4.5 he could be a waste of a fwd spot

      3. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Even Burke is so much better than those 2 clowns

      4. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Wilder said it was a tough decision whether to start him or not ... hint hint ... wouldn’t say such a thing if he is going to start him 😉

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Do behave

  26. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else surprised by the fact that Maupay is owned only by 6% ?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not at all

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yep. I got him in my new team.

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah but when you consider DCL is the most owner player, there is just so many options there, if you’re on the right one at the right time then it’ll be lovely

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not really when Bamford hit the ground running from the start and was cheaper. Mitrović was the popular choice pre season. Wilson thrown in their then too.

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, I thought it would be lower too.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        😆

    6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not really. He plays for Brighton. If he played for Man Utd with that price, form and nailed on-ness his ownership would be 70%.

    7. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Im surprised as many as 6% have him..........very average player who has got lucky this season so far......

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years

        Bit like DCL then I would say.

    Bruno > Salah for free a no-brainer? Bruno was my nemesis last season so actually being on the right end of one of his hauls is a bit intoxicating, so been wavering on this planned move.
