Robertson and Alexander-Arnold return to Liverpool XI as Jota starts again

Liverpool’s trip to Brentford is the seventh and final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST.

After a blank for Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the day, captainers of Mohamed Salah have a chance to steal a march on those Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who decided against handing the armband to the Egyptian.

Above: Gameweek 6 captaincy and effective ownership stats among the top 10,000 FPL managers

Jurgen Klopp has made four changes to the Liverpool team that beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at Anfield last weekend.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Andrew Robertson all return in defence, with Curtis Jones replacing the injured Thiago Alcantara in midfield.

James Milner, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas make way.

Diogo Jota again leads the line, with Salah and Sadio Mane either side of the Portugal international, but Roberto Firmino is back among the substitutes after a month on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank makes just the one change to the Bees side that won 2-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Saturday.

Frank Onyeka replaces Shandon Baptiste, who drops to the bench.

Ten Brentford players are ever-present starters in the Premier League this season.

      Hope so soon!

      Rearrange these words. Chance and fat.

        2 years, 7 months ago

        and chance fat?

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 7 Years

          Oh ok. Chance Fat.

  3. Good Times

    I feel deciding now to go with both Ronaldo and lukaku or with one of them is a season defining decision.

    What's everyone thinking? *most asked question this season but still not easy to decide...

    1. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’m going with both from GW7.

      1. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Good luck

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Too many well priced fwds doing better

      1. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I'm actually hoping Bamford comes back soon delicious fixtures

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Just Kaku for foreseeable for me.
      Utd not in the same league as Chelsea, City, Liv

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This right here. This all day.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        That was reason for selling Ron.

      3. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        So the Ronaldo fear has simmered down it seems in the community. The it is Ronaldo reasoning is waning off

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      going both next GW, then Lukaku only GW 9

      1. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting approach

    5. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Potentially.

      Personally, I think everyone may be sleeping on Vardy who is in prime form.

      1. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah vardy in the thick of things now a good option to consider. If go for vardy if I was chasing. I'm doing relatively well so my mindset is not as aggressive otherwise might go for it

    6. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I have neither, not sure if they're really essential as long as cheaper options are scoring

      1. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Surely you need 1 of them. Who are you considering as your heavy hitter apart from Salah?

        1. Gross Blank Point
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I'd captain Salah every week, I do honestly think there are points spread out everywhere this season. If pushed I'll get Lukaku in, I just don't feel it's a disaster not too though if I get the other picks right.

    7. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Going without. Could hurt but I am putting all my funds in defence

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Without Ronaldo*

      2. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I'm feeling the same... Obviously it could explode on our faces

  4. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Need a TAA hatty and CS minimum…

    1. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't mind Jota assisting!

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        All unassisted I’m afraid….

      2. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Haha good luck

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      you spelt Jota wrong

  5. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Some input please

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Semedo
    Salah Greenwood Jota Sarr Ben
    Ronaldo Antonio
    Steele Amartey Ayling Scarlett

    A) time to wc
    B) Ronaldo and Shaw to Lukaku amd Rudiger for -4
    C) Something else?

    1. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm inclining towards b myself... Big decision

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Think I want to get rid of Greenwood and Jota too. And upgrade my bench a little. Hmmm decisions... Shaw likely dropping tonight also

        1. Good Times
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I guess it's how you prioritize your transfers. Shaw has hurt me definitely. I feel I'd wait till after champions league before making any moves its that kind of season

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      B looks good

    3. REDMOND IN SANDALS
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I would just do Shaw to Rudiger

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw to Rudiger. Then Ronaldo to Lukaku the following week

  6. Snooze ya lose

    Did raph go off injured?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      yeh, or rather reached limit of his fitness

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A fresh body was a better option.

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They brought him off to protect his ongoing injury I believe.

  7. MountainBeach
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Rudiger or Alonso?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rudi

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        solely because of nailed-ness right?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years

    Ofc will be doing Shaw to Che def for free. Would you also consider some -4 like Greenwood out? Or keep for next 1/2 GWs?

    1. MountainBeach
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm keeping for Everton at home. Don't really wanna take a hit.

  18. R.C

  19. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    WC or do you think I can wait a week?
    Sanchez
    TAA - Shaw - Veltman - Ayling - Tsimikas
    Salah - Raphinha - Benrahma - Torres - Brownhill
    Ronaldo - Jimenez - Antonio

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Naaa, a hit or two at worst

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I would wc that lot. Major upside in putting money in defence imo

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You got a lot of injury issues in def & mid plus Torres & your bench are not getting a lot of minutes.

      May be time to hit it
