A busy Saturday of Premier League football concludes at St James’ Park, where Liverpool are the visitors to fourth-place Newcastle United.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest will be more in the Reds next week, with Jurgen Klopp’s side ‘doubling’ in Gameweek 25 as the Magpies blank.

This is an audition of sorts for Liverpool’s FPL assets, then, after they stopped the rot in last Monday’s Merseyside derby.

As for the team news, it’s one change apiece.

Youngster Elliot Anderson comes in to replace the injured Joe Willock, with Bruno Guimaraes still suspended.

Anthony Gordon has to be content with a place among the substitutes, where he is joined by the fit-again Callum Wilson.

Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron were passed fit by Eddie Howe in Friday’s pre-match press conference.

Virgil van Dijk replaces Joel Matip for the visitors, making his first Premier League start since the turn of the year.

Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are again among the substitutes.

GAMEWEEK 24 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Joelinton, Longstaff, Anderson, Saint-Maximin, Almiron, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Lascelles, Gordon, Wilson, Ritchie, Lewis, Manquillo, Murphy

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Gomez, Robertson, Henderson, Bajcetic, Fabinho, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Phillips, Matip

    A) White, Bruno -> TAA, Saka
    B) A + Castagne -> Tarkowski -4
    C) Castagne, Bruno -> TAA, Gakpo
    D) Bruno, Kane -> Salah, Darwin

    How nailed is Gomez? Could he be worth getting over Tarkowski seeing as they are the exact same price?

    Will have Salah and TAA as well. As ‘uninspiring’ as Liverpool are, they are still a top-half team with a great DGW25.

    Anything else I need to consider to see the appeal of Tarkowski?

      Gomez is a no go zone imho. Get Tark, 10 times better.

    The only Pool players nailed to start both games is Salah, Vvd, Alisson and TAA(small chance Milner gets a game but unlikely).

        I have exact money to do Shaw, Patterson, Mahrez -> Gomez, Tark, Salah for -4... but with Champions League games I'll never pull the trigger early

    Im bored so lets play a game of guess the current rank of this team (in response to some people thinking a bad week score = end of season)

    Week 1 500k
    Week 2 : Wildcard to get Darwin and sell Jesus (20 points) for Darwin (Red card) and also buy Mitro for his penatly miss and get no Newcastle, Kane, etc and way off the future template
    Week 3 : Free hit since season is over and captain Vardy (yes really) , no Salah and Haaland who both score, more reds arrows

    Week 8 : 3.6 million rank , still no Newcastle players

    Week 17 Go anti template Post World cup for a team whichincludes : Ramsdale, Cancelo Foden Trossard, Darwin and no Rashford , Shaw, Bruno, KDB, no Brighton players

    Week 24 : Currently 9 million week rank with 3 players to go.

    Where is this team currently ranked and whats the highest its been?
    4million +
    2million +
    1million +
    Top 1 million
    top 500k
    Top 100k

    This will be fun to see.

      4million + sounds right based on the player's decision making / recklessness but clearly won't be that..

      Top 1 million?

        Its my team, im currently at 90k after two bad weeks , was 50k 2 weeks ago

        Obviously made many mistakes but have played in general super patient outside of the weeks mentioned above. I usually do stupid things in the early weeks and then tend to have a better ability than most to quickly spot the template hence the very quick improvement.

        Id probably be top 5k if i played the whole season how i have played week 4- to now bar week 17 - i wildcard directly for week 18 and rose from 800k to my current position in 7 weeks despite not getting Mahrez and Mitoma which were planned moves i avoided since they were too risky.

        Still being top 100k from nearly 4 million after week 8 was some effort. Need to me more patient next year weeks 1-4 which are the weeks i also find the most difficult to be patient
