Alisson returns for Liverpool as Klopp starts Salah, Mané, Firmino and Jota

Liverpool have been handed a much-needed boost at the back for their Gameweek 6 meeting with Sheffield United.

With Virgil van Dijk‘s (£6.4m) long-term injury still fresh in Jurgen Klopp’s mind, he welcomes back first-choice goalkeeper Alisson (£5.9m) from his shoulder problem.

It is a first start since Gameweek 3 for the Brazilian, Liverpool giving up nine goals in two matches during his absence.

That development is sure to be music to the ears of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) owners, who sit in 35.6% and 19% of team respectively.

However, there is arguably even more exciting news further up the pitch for Liverpool, as this week’s most captained player worldwide Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) could well be handed a centre-forward role.

Diogo Jota (£6.3m) has been welcomed into the starting line-up for a rare foray into a 4-2-3-1 formation, which also features Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) and Sadio Mané (£12.0m).

It has been some time since we have seen Klopp shape his troops in this way, but the last time a fourth attacking midfielder was added to the team, Firmino was handed a number 10 role behind Salah.

Meanwhile, interest in Sheffield United assets continues to wane, with Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) the only player owned by more than 7% for Gameweek 6.

He starts against his former club, paired with Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) up-front.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold; J Henderson, Wijnaldum; Mané, Firmino, D Jota; Salah.

Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale; Ampadu, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Berge, Lundstram, Baldock; Brewster, McBurnie.

    So Chelsea pend over 150m on attack only to park a double-decker against a United team who had not kept a single clean sheet this season. Pathetic football.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Uh, United had the parked bus.

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

      And still had to be bailed out by their new goalie.

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

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      which way do you want it mate?

      Chelsea concede 3 goals -they are leaky
      Chelsea don't concede - they park the bus

      no pleasing some

    4. Bushwhacker

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      United far worse. Awful stuff, zero intent.

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

        They were trying to go for the winner while Chelsea were happy sitting back for the draw. Says something else to me

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

            Wasn't really a tackle, more a block. Included though.

      Same here, fingers crossed!

  13. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    SO who’s got what for the next game?

    Salah (c) and Robbo owner here

    1. DaniCT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      1 goal and 1 assist from Salah and I don't mind. I don't even have him captain

  14. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can't wait for Telles to be fit. Cavani would get some decent service.

    14 shots to Chelsea's 6, but no big chances created.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Or Rashford out left

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Can’t just hit and hope on tbe break every game. Ole is awful.

  15. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    13 from 4. If Salah(C) and TAA doesnt deliver this gw will be a really bad one.

  16. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What formation is Liv going for here.
    4-4-2?

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

      4231 ?

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

        Jota behind Firm? Or salah.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Jota right, Firm behind Salah

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

            Thats what I originally thought, but seems strange to me. What's the point in playing your false 9 in an err...AM position afterall

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Playing supplier to Salah is what Firmino does the whole time whatever formation. His role doesnt change Salah does.

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

          Salah up top, Mane right, Jota left, Firmino in the hole.

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

          Salah i guess

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

      I think Liv are going to play park football with no rigid formation

  17. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Salah!!!!

  18. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    3 - Zouma (33)
    2 - Thiago Silva, Maguire (29)
    0 - Chilwell (28)

        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It would interesting to compare the silly comments on here when he first played for Chelsea. He might be old but he's a class act.

    7. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lol love that you included Chilwell (0). Savage

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Rodriguez or Rashford? Fixtures become yummy soon for United

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

      Rodriguez for now.

      Wait and see with United. A lot of new signings and I'm not sure how they're all going to fit together just yet. It could be Cavani ST, with Rashford/Martial sharing the LW... We don't know yet.

      Might know more by the WBA game in GW9.

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I very much doubt Cavani nails a place in this team. Fringe player.

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

        Well I want him for the WBA game

      I do hope that you're wrong (unless TAA gets them all)
