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.

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.

GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raja, Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock, Canos, Onyeka, Norgaard, Janelt, Henry, Mbeumo, Toney.

    Jota Ronaldo Bamford to Raphina Lukaku Vardy with a -4?

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Annoyingly to bring in Lukaku without a hit would have to Gallagher coming in instead of Raphina.

      1. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Wait for raphinha news and CL Matches

  2. jackruet

    If Shaw is ok for next week, i would probably keep him against everton. Without dcl, richa not sure how everton will score. Doucure grey wont score every week and utd might bounce back

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      and Maguire?

    Thoughts on this WC?

    TAA Alonso White Livramento Williams
    Salah Raphinha Sarr Gray Sissoko
    Ronaldo Lukaku Richardson

    1.9 ITB

  4. g40steve

    Sauce time

  5. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pondering some differentials for future WC, of course players will come and go from the list but just for discussions sake, what do we think of Zaha?

    1. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      One my watchlist along with Gallagher and Eduoard from Palace.

      Monday night is their auditions 🙂

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sure will be, if Gallagher looks better than he may be the go for over a million less but Zaha with pens is a bonus. Eduoard is an interesting one, him ASM and Armstrong all in contention for a spot in my side

    2. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Everton guys are cheap and better

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Currently have Doucoure in my non pre WC side

  6. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Greenwood would start against Everton? Don't think he had a good game today so maybe Sancho starts next one?

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sancho been worse every time he started for United

      1. Thanos
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        True. But with United losing back to back, I think Ole will try to change things.

        Of course, he can't touch CR7, Bruno or Pogba in that setup so it seems that Greeny will be the fall guy.

        1. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Pogba should play deeper, Fred out, Pogba in mid, Sancho on the wing

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I bet he does, but something about United's attacking set up is off. Rashford and Sancho surely have to be worked in soon, and United's fixtures have a real bad patch coming soon. I'm going to move away from Greeny here soon i think.

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you keep Livramento or Marcal?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livra

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for the answer tomorrow

  8. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raphina must be carrying an injury being taken off early? Same happened GW5.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes he’s still carrying an injury, had his legs iced up pretty heavily post match from what I’ve seen

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      would seem so

    3. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, not fully fit. After he was subbed, he was shown with ice packs strapped to both his thighs.

    4. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes he is that is why he gets reduced minutes. Still didnt seem to bother him on the field.

  9. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    46 with Livra and Sanchez and to go…it’ll do. Was set on GW8 WC but might have to push the button now. Would you with this lot?

    Sanchez,
    Duffy, TAA, Shaw (if fit)
    Salah, Jota, G’Wood, Sarr, Raph
    Ronaldo, Antonio

    (Steele, White, Livra, Scarlett)

  10. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Liverpool front line versus City:

    Jota Firmino Mane
    Salah

  11. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which one out of these options?

    A. Lose Jota because you tripled up on Liverpool
    B. Lose Greenwood even though you'll lose any ManU coverage
    C. Lose Torres even though he has some plum fixtures coming (BUR bha CRY)

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  12. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sauce put him down

  13. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Did a quick wildcard draft. Can change.

    Sanchez - (Gunn)
    TAA - Shaw - Veltman (Ayling) (Tsimikas)
    Salah - Torres - Raphinha - Benrahma (Brownhill)
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Jimenez

    to

    Sanchez/Ramsdale - (Foster)
    TAA - Alonso - Cancelo (Livramento) (B. Williams/Duffy)
    Salah - Raphinha - Sarr - Benrahma (Normann)
    Lukaku - Antonio - Jimenez

    with 1.5 m in the bank to upgrade Williams/Duffy or Sarr/Raphinha/Benrahma

    surely I hit the button?

    1. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Obviously the draft isn't done but it's a good baseline to maneuver around

      1. Fish up a tree
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sad when you have to answer your own posts lol

        1. Reeker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Wouldn't call the reply an answer now would you?

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would not WC for 4 players (excluding bench players). Take a hit.

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice team tho

      Like Ramsdale
      Alonso could get rotated so maybe Rudi
      Jimenez jury still out

  14. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed.

    Who will score more points in the next 5 GWs?
    A. Cancelo + Raphinha+ASM
    B. Gallagher+ Benny + Vardy
    C. Cancelo + Gallagher + Jesus

    1. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  15. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    CR7 + Greeny + Obafemi -> Lukaku + Vardy + 4.5 for a -4?

  16. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So ronaldo & lukaku still the way to go?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Need Lukaku for his upcoming fixtures.

      Wheels look to have come off again with Ole at the wheel. Still deciding to keep or switch Ronaldo.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah the way they have integrated Ronnie is messing with their attacking chemistry. They may adapt and get better but they might get exposed even more when they play the big 3 sides. Watching them try to attack City and Chelsea may be....interesting.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seriously considering dropping Ronaldo and just having Lukaku then doing Lukaku to Ronaldo for the rest of the season once the fixtures switch

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      See my post below.

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me, too much wedge & want Antonio long term & a strong City & Chelsea defence.

      With Lukaku atm but will go to Ronaldo at some point

  17. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota and Bamford to Lukaku (C) and D.Luis (4.5) -4?

    1. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I've done those exact transfers, so yes.

  18. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sauce wins

  19. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I don’t get people doing Ronaldo to Lukaku for a hit now.
    I’m (c) Ronaldo next week, while GW8 the best (c) imo is Salah, so you don’t need Kaku while Lei are conceding for fun so Ronaldo can be good too.
    For GW9, obviously Ronaldo to Kaku (c) for free locked!

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah a hit isn't worth it unless you can't field 11 or what not.

  20. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A. Vardy or Jesus
    B. Benny or Gallagher

    Need to decide for the next 5-6 GWs

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy & Gallagher

      1. Original Sin
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

  21. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Toney or Jiminez to Antonio for ft ,?

    Will wait on Wolves before deciding which one to ship

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jimmy

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I think if Jiminez blanks he is deffo out, Toney has been good for what he is worth

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Happy to keep Toney as 3 forward.Even cheap enough to bench. Jimmy don’t look 100% in form.

  22. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    DCL expected back for UTD? If that is the case then he would be my Ronaldo replacement.

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m hoping one of him or Bamford are back, have Bamford but I’d he’s out and DCL back I may move for him mate

  23. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    For upcoming GWS
    CR7 > Lukaku
    Yaaaay
    Nope

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think I will keep Ronaldo one more GW. Alonso looks tasty.

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yup

    3. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends what your team looks like with both? (Including TAA & Salah)

  24. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Not expecting much but would be lovely with a Semedo monsterhaul tomorrow.

  25. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota ➡ Raphinha for free this gw for me. Gives me -

    Sanchez
    Semedo - Coady - White
    Salah - Greenwood - Benrahma - Sarr - Raphinha
    Ronaldo - Antonio

    Foster - TAA - Livramento - Scarlett

    GTG?
