A Liverpool matchday, from your first XI to the final whistle
Start with the fixture, make your choices and return to see how the match changed the conversation. These independent fan tools let you take part alongside our coverage; they do not publish the official lineup or offer prizes.
Before kickoff: pick and predict
Use the Squad Selector to choose eleven players, move them into your formation and create a branded lineup image or an unlisted link. Then enter a score in the Match Predictor. Check the fixture and its entry deadline: downloading artwork is separate from submitting your choices.
Make it a friendly rivalry
A verified My Globe account connects your predictions across visits. Create or join a private league to compare points with friends. An exact score earns three points; the correct win, draw or loss earns one; other predictions earn zero. These are alternatives, not cumulative awards. The game is points-only, with no cash, voucher or other prizes.
After the match: give your verdict
Open Fan Player Ratings for the completed fixture. Rate only players you saw enough of and choose your player of the match. The tool displays the eligible players and voting window. When results are available, judge the crowd’s verdict alongside its sample size; a small vote is not a verdict from the whole fanbase.
Between fixtures: explore a different question
Armchair Director is a hypothetical transfer notebook. Supply your own fee and wage assumptions to compare scenarios; it does not report Liverpool’s finances or assess spending rules. Name the Red offers historical player clues when a reviewed puzzle has been released. There is no promise of an automatic daily puzzle.
Your matchday route
Find the next fixture → read its match hub → pick an XI and predict before kickoff → return for analysis and fan ratings. For a longer view, explore the season archive and opponent history.
What is saved and shared?
A device draft stays in this browser. A submitted prediction, lineup or rating is a separate action. An unlisted XI link is a saved snapshot that anyone with its URL can view; it does not update when you edit your draft. Account registration does not subscribe you to a newsletter or enable match reminders.
Where should I start?
If you have two minutes, choose the XI you would start in the next available fixture. Download or share it, then ask a friend which one selection they would change. Come back to the same hub after the match to compare the decisions with the performance.
How the fan tools work
Choose your matchday task
Build a preferred XI before a match, make a points-only score prediction, or return for player ratings after the final whistle. Squad Verdict, Armchair Director and What If? let you explore opinions and hypothetical scenarios. Each tool explains its eligibility, inputs and sharing controls.
Follow the facts behind your choices
Use Squad, Injuries and Contracts to understand the current playing group. Fixtures, Where to Watch, the Table and Top Scorers provide match and season context. A fan selection or scenario does not establish an official lineup, transfer valuation or final league outcome.
