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.

    can't believe it's only been 6GWs since people here were writing "Alli is José's fav. He'll be the best player in Spurs given his role behind Kane."

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

      That was always a moronic take. Mou values work ethic and adaptability to his tactical variations over everything else. He literally called Alli lazy in the docu so unless Alli fixed his attitude which was never going to happen there was no chance for him under Mou

    Very close to rage selling Mo.. what an absolute dud, blanking against useless Sheffield. Of course capped him

      You are so boring. Do something better with your time.

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

        Love how people assume that a random comment written from the crapper or on a train/bus implies I'm not doing anything useful with my time

          Dont take a crap on the bus please.

            Sometimes you can't ignore nature's call

          You rarely have anything to say about anything. Relax your head.

      Sell Guaita instead.

        Is he in your mini league ?

    6. CloudSky

      Only casuals capped Salah.

  4. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …

    Biggest Trap of this Season FPL is TAA.

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

      No it's that we're playing it

  5. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure if it's temporary or not but TAA and Andrew Robertson have changed flanks.

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

      Temporary. They've reverted back to normal

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Dam that's like a scene from Inception

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

          Haha yeah it was weird to watch

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

          They frequently do it after set plays

    2. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It often happens after defending corners.

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

        They stayed like that for a solid 5 minutes though.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I'm sure I've seen them do it before. Cant remember the game

        2. Marvin Moon
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Mustn't have had a chance to switch back. Robbo always defends the near post at corners so they get switched over quite often.

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

            Oh okay

    You go Salah-less and it’s frightening every time there’s a Liverpool goal ‘cause you know he’s gonna be involved.

    You bring him in and he’s just toss, every time lol

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

      Not really, Sheffield United can't afford to pay his goal bonus.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He has pace and is an outlet

  14. Pep Roulette

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