In a Liverpool forward line that includes Mohamed Salah's end-of-era narrative, Hugo Ekitike's breakout season, and the transfer saga around Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cody Gakpo has quietly been one of the most reliable performers. The Dutch international operates across the front three with a versatility that is extremely valuable in a high-rotation season. He can play on the left, as a central striker, or in a hybrid role — and his output in terms of goals and assists has been consistent regardless of position. Gakpo's work-rate is also one of the highest in Liverpool's squad. He presses relentlessly, tracks back to support the full-backs, and creates second balls that lead to possession recovery. That combination of technical quality and defensive work-rate is exactly what Arne Slot demands from his wide forwards. For the Fulham fixture on Saturday 11 April — and the broader seven-game run-in — Gakpo's consistency makes him one of the first names on the team sheet. His goal contribution across the final weeks could be the quiet difference between Champions League qualification and an anxious wait on the final day. 📅 Sat 11 Apr, 08:30 UTC | Anfield 🏆 GW30 | The Underrated Engine
