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.

      He's been great for multiple seasons in a row and VVD's injury only happened a week ago.

      Since Lockdown Liverpool have conceded the most goals of any team.

      They have been sloppy at the back for quite a while now

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

        Most goals? Are you sure?

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

          It was on Sky this morning

          Conceding 7 against Villa obviously helped that total

  3. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Brewster!

    Olie scores that if he had a beard.

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

      Don't use 'Ollie', people having Watkins flashbacks.

  6. NULL-X-VOID

    Wait a min, this is SHU right? The team that has the worst attacking output in the league?

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

      They're playing the worst defence in the league though. Bound to score.

    Sold TAA and Robbo on wc gw2 and never looked back. I may get Robbo back, clearly not yet.

  9. Royal5
    • 12 Years

    How is that not a pen? Doherty has gotten 2 just like that against him this season

  10. Traction Engine Foot

    Liverpool on the ropes

  11. Egg noodle

    Who committed the foul for the penalty?

    1. Vlekz
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Fabinho

      • Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Fabinho, the so called VvD replacement.

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

        Alledged foul.

    2. Flair

      Woah, Sheffield United scored? Didn't expect that one

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20

        TAA time to leave my team

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

          Not sure what to do about Robbo. Capable replacements are there

          1. brianutd-why always we? 20
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Be Patient

    3. Qaiss
      • 8 Years

      After the amount of decisions Liverpool had in the 18/19 season, why are people feeling sorry for them?

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

        No one is feeling sorry for them

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

          Twitter is acting like a very serious crime has just happened. It’s the wrong decision but sort of karma.

    4. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Where’s the VAR Utd haters now when that happens at Anfield?

      1. NULL-X-VOID
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Still here bruv. And you can't compare a wrestling move to this.

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Nope

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

      Just to recap the game so far for those who aren't watching, Sander Berge has been more threatening than Salah who hasn't even had a touch so far... O.o

    6. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well Captain Salah isn't looking good as of now.

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

      If that was Adrian in goal, we would be almost half way to seeing 7 again. 😀

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

        The defence is really the problem not the keeper

    8. Saka_me_sideways
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Are Liverpool the team in green?

    9. FPL Daniel

      Who assisted?

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

        Var

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

        McBurnie and according to Liverpool fans Sir Alex Ferguson.

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

      If Kilman starts I am getting him in for one of TAA/Robbo

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

      Imagine benching Chilwell and starting pool defender

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

        Unfortunately with you on that one

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

      How has Mane played so far?

    13. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This could be another 7 goal thrashing for pool O_o

    14. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Where is it written that on the line counts as inside the area? It's not the same for the ball... which has to fully cross a line... why would this be different?

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

        Kinda irrelevant given he got the ball.

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan

        In the rules of football you monumental clown

        1. Plant Based FPLer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I didn't see it where I looked. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I just loathe vegans

            1. Plant Based FPLer
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Well I specifically said plant-based so as to not align myself with those of a more vehement vegan attitude, if that's what bothers you.

              People feel better physically not eating other animals and their baby food. Many people even reverse various diseases that "doctors" say are incurable or need medication.

              If you don't try it for a month you'll never know. Just learn how to cook. If you already do, then you know about spices and flavorings already.

                  You're laughing at me?

                  One day, when you're diagnosed with something, remember what some random person mentioned to you.

        Was so cocksure and certain taa was the best pick, complete backfire

      Worth saving the 0.7 + the price rise to get Zouma over chilly ?

      1. Esalman
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Chilwell better option.

      2. ivantys

        Don't know whether Zouma's nailed at all
