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.

    As someone who sold TAA this week and who isn’t watching the game, that’s a penalty all day.

      TAA and Robbo owner here. I haven't seen the incident either but you're talking total shite.

        • 9 Years

        Never a pen in a million years, I don't have to see it to believe it.

    nice

    I was slightly worried about Robbo and TAA ownership as I don't cover Liverpool def. Cool as a cucumber now. Just need the Salah brace+ now

    1. Lev Yashin

      Hate it when casuals talk about "cover".

  7. Chucky

    TAA get out of my team NOW

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Did TAA > Chilwell ... still nervous regardless

  8. FourLokoLeipzig

    How is that a pen? Every camera angle clearly showed him winning the ball

  9. zdrojo187

    3 years, 5 months ago

    In the box,but not a foul...for me

  10. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah (C) fail confirmed then

    1. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Premature much?

        Imature much?

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not relevant

    3. villa_til_i_die

      What, after 15 minutes!

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

      Absolutely not, will double digit for sure

  11. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Absolutely ridiculous decisions today.

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

    Well TAA has been a horsesh*t pick this season.

  13. Guba
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    VAR has lost the plot. I like the concept but it seems to get so many decisions incorrect.

    1. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I remember the same comments about refs on their own

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

    That's possibly the worst VAR decision ever. How do you penalize a fair tackle outside the box with a penalty?!?!? And I thought the Everton offside was a bit absurd . . .

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It was Mané offside, not Everton x

  15. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Ridiculous decision. Defender played the ball.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This

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

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years

    Trent Robertson and Salah c. That’s a joke, I’m disgusted.

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

      Fabinho you git

  17. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why even risk a tackle that close to the box?

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

      To get the ball away. It worked.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        At the cost of a goal

  18. TheDragon

    Who did Magnus captain this week?

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Don't even care as a TAA owner - lovely Berge penalty

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

      Whats lovely about taking that penalty?

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Everything.

  20. sminkypinky

    Me still holding onto double Pool defence.

    I look stupid. This has to change.

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      VAR did it this time

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

    I am fed up with double Liverpool defense so who to keep who to sell? TAA or Robbo?

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

      TAA

  22. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Well, VVD to Matip hurts less with that goal! In comes Lamptey.

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

    Why did Berge take it not the Lord?

  24. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    That’s an absolute disgraceful decision. The refs officiating these absolute poor decisions should be fined

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Seems like anyone apart from Bamford owners having a dogsh*t GW

  26. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Do people even know that the line counts as part of the penalty box?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The white one

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No they obviously don’t

      They just see it as an injustice to their fantasy team

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

        Sometimes I forget what site is this. 🙂

        1. Syd.

    Why was Fabinho not booked?

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why should he be?

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would he be booked?

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

    Isn't that penalty foul outside the penalty box?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No time for philosophical.

  29. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Foden and James my gameweek hero's with 6 each, didn't expect that. 😀

  30. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ampadou lost his do.
