The Merseyside derby gets Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway this lunchtime, one of eight Premier League matches taking place on a busy Saturday.

Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 12:30 BST.

Liverpool had the shortest turnaround of any top-flight team between Gameweeks 5 and 6, and Jurgen Klopp has made a handful of changes as a result.

Andrew Robertson and Roberto Firmino are among three players making way, while Darwin Nunez is thrown straight back into the starting XI on his return from suspension.

Gameweek 5 starter Jordan Henderson is now out injured, while Fabio Carvalho and Kostas Tsikimas get a recall.

New signing Arthur Melo has received belated international clearance and is on the bench, as is the newly fit-again Diogo Jota.

As for Everton, manager Frank Lampard has largely stuck with the same team that held Leeds United to a creditable draw in midweek – with one exception.

New signing Neal Maupay starts in place of Dwight McNeil, who drops to the bench.

Fellow new arrival Idrissa Gueye is also among the Everton substitutes but James Garner isn’t in the squad.

GAMEWEEK 6 TEAM NEWS

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Davies, Onana, Iwobi, Maupay, Gray, Gordon

Subs: Begovic, Keane, Allan, McNeil, Coleman, Gueye, Vinagre, Rondon, Mills

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Gomez, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Elliott, Carvalho, Salah, Diaz, Nunez

Subs: Adrian, Robertson, Phillips, Matip, Milner, Arthur, Bajcetic, Firmino, Jota

    352 for Chelsea

    James RLC Gallagher Kovacic Cucurella
    Pulisic Sterling

    1. Bubz

      James and Cucu double up will feast today

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Looks weak

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        RLC, Gallagher, Pulisic weakest links, rest great.

        Gallagher probably fairs a bit better in this formation that the last few games.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Chelsea will only get better. With the injured players back and the new signings integrated they can push for that runners up spot as those chasing Man C all have plenty of flaws.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Hammers going to feast

  10. TheBiffas

    Liverpool supporter, Salah capper, Trent and Diaz owner

    1. AC/DC AFC

      3 years, 3 months ago

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      58 on the clock.

      starts at zero.

    3. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why sub him at all when game isn’t won

    4. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Someone who doesn't live in the fantasy world.

  14. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Onana has been some buy for Everton, really like the look of him

    1. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Onana what's his name?

    2. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I like it so much I made it my team name haha

  15. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Why bench Kulu? Only decent player spurs have ffs

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      To make place for Richarlison. But I agree, should've benched Son.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I own Kulu and annoyingly did see that coming. Have City next too so could be on his way from my team. He will come on though for his 1 point. Thanks

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Rotation. They will all get a rest, plus want to play son into form.

  16. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah has been non existing.

  17. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Oh Conte, why you bench Kulu 🙁

    Ah well, he was probably a sell this week anyway.

    1. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What a Conte!

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Was planning kulu to Diaz but not so sure now.

  18. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs lineup looks poor.

    West Ham should fancy their chances

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      How about Fulham?

      1. Londongeezaa
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha. Fulham obviously.

        Was looking at West Ham’s lineup whilst typing 🙂

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Umm.....

    3. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That was last week..

  19. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling on penalties.. and playing in a front 2(probably done as a preview for where auba will play when fit). He ll be in everyones teams soon

    1. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If he score, Salah to Sterling will be the big move

    2. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Got in early, good differential atm

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I capped him in my other (GFs) team where I go puntier

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He is my vc incase Haaland does a no show

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Brought him in this week at the expense of TAA and Bernardo, here's hoping. Although honestly not sure I actually like the idea of him taking penalties, I'd probably expect he'd miss a lot of them

  20. Dreams
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Captained Trent. It's so funny that I cannot but laugh at myself.

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      literally heartbreaking

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That is very unfortunate.

    3. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They will erect a statue to commemorate your bravery 🙂

    4. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      look on the brightside - could have used you triple C on him

      1. Dreams
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Of course mate. This would be a great story to tell which is a rarity these days. I'm enjoying it.

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I triple captained Salah when he got 3 points against Bournemouth

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

      Haa Haaland

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

      Oh boy. Had KDB last week. Can feel your pain.

    7. ahak9
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You got a friend in me.

  21. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    wow, once in a lifetime experience to see VVD make a bad tackling like that

  22. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah yet to have a shot - remember in the old days a Salah SoT bet was like free money

  23. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Van Dijk would be off if he was Gabriel, not fair

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Nunez subbed
    Jota on

    1. AC/DC AFC

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

  28. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maybe time to upgrade da silva ?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It was never time to downgrade to him...

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        4.5m bench warmer

  29. Unliklinho
