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.

  13. NULL-X-VOID

    3 years, 5 months ago

    honestly I think after this GW, im off researching stats, just do transfers randomly.

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

      Stats don’t even help now

  14. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Happy as Pool fan... but ofc TAA+Salah(c) was offside. Correct VAR though that one.

  15. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I bet Salah doesn’t score now

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

    Sadio Mane! Love him!

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

    Salah go join Guaita in the rubbish bin please mate...

  18. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah > Mane -12 done

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      -12 only? You should reverse it and then transfer back for -20 to make it sound cooler ...

  19. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    The way this season is going I expect to be on minus points total next gw....

  20. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years

    Salad straight back out. Garbage.

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

    From TAA assist Mo goal to Mane assist Jota goal.
    FPL is truly trying to break us

  22. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Imagine basing captain decisions and captain picks off well researched stats....terrible idea

  23. Supersonic Marv'

    It feels like we've had about 3 solid years of people bitching about Salah now. Dry your eyes for Pete's sake.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Pete Burns?

  24. PocketZola

    18 is average

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

    Salah(c)...

    Looking at 20 points total this GW

  26. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fair play to the captain sensible article for calling out that Mane was a better option than Salah

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

    Nice to see Trent back on corners

  28. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone with Mane has poor football knowledge, and has total casuals luck when it comes to FPL 🙂

      Lol!

    2. Supersonic Marv'

      Thanks for the insight Einstein.

      You got the Salty part right.

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Or they have gone for a differential to take on Salah's EO

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

      Mane is actually a great asset when it come to FPL. Defo not a casual pick. And given his EO, he's been a brilliant differential this GW.

    6. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Calm down calm down laaaa

    7. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sadio Mane ehh!
      Who does she play for?

  29. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kane (c) hattrick tomorrow is going to be beautiful

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

      He doesn’t even play tomorrow so I’d say it’s pretty unlikely

  30. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Still 20 mins left guys. No Salah here. He’ll score for sure.
