While the FIFA international break may mean a break for teams like Liverpool who have seen a lot of activity split between the Premier League and Europa League, manager Jürgen Klopp knows that these days of inactivity are crucial as they prepare for their next fixture on 21 October when they take on Everton at Anfield, a club looking to climb out of the relegation places against a Reds side who have gone two games without a win.
It is clear that the tight FIFA schedule means that several teams in Europe will have to resume their competitions full of substitutes at the end of the month, with the Reds being one of the clubs most affected by the large number of men who will be representing their country, leaving Klopp for the time being with players who will surely have the opportunity to continue to show their high level against the Blues.
One of the players with big playing opportunities on that day will undoubtedly be Ben Doak, a Scottish attacking player who in recent months has strengthened his game and his value in the market to the point of now having 10 million as his cost figure, surpassing the 17 year old in value to some players of his next league rival, humbling by far the legend Seamus Coleman who had in his final stage with Everton a value of barely one million euros. The Reds' promising youngster continues to emerge as one of the team's top attacking prospects in the not too distant future, with the €10m that could grow rapidly with more consistent performances, it is no surprise that Doak could reach over €20m in a few years' time, making even more of a mockery of the €19m that Coleman was worth in 2016 when he was Everton's biggest icon.
It is evident that the good momentum of the Reds' attacking men has reduced the minutes of play that Doak can see in the team, accumulating so far a total of three games with a total of 139 minutes spread between Premier League, Europa League and EFL Cup, being the next matchday against Everton a great opportunity for this young Scot to show his potential up front and provide a goal or goal that puts him within the plane of players to be considered by a Klopp.
