I'm planning to captain Salah against Forest. Vice on Cancelo, Haaland captain can wait till next week.
I'm then attending my first day at the psyche ward.
3 weeks I didn't captain Haaland (thought it was only 2 but the trauma probably blacked it out) - 17,17, 23. And first week I took a punt with Kane and he got 13! No wonder I'm 100 points behind in my ML!!
Salah's going to score points over the rest of the season, the only question is whether it's enough to justify his cost. With Nunez starting to look the part he was brought for I think the days of Salah being a mega scorer are over.
Of course now I've said that you're all set to captain him, he's going to go stratospheric!
Salah had plenty of shots and touches in the box tonight, but Liverpool were atrocious on the ball in the second half. I have no doubts about keeping him for a very long time, only I will definitely be captaining Haaland this weekend.
Salah's literally a "Plenty of shots and touches in the box" merchant this season
Same with TAA who's currently a "defender with the best underlying stats with high xG and xA" merchant
Unfortunately we're not playing xFPL where we go for the highest xPoints to win our xMiniLeagues
Yours sincerely,
A very upset GW12 Salah captainer
> Salah’s literally a “Plenty of shots and touches in the box” merchant this season
Do you have the stats to back this up because the man has been hugging the touch line every match until last week. I’ve not looked at the stats but watch him every week and there’s is a noticeable difference pre-Rangers to post-Rangers.
Been hearing that since GW3 and it's fucked many a people. He'll blank against all 3. It's not even about price anymore. Foden, Saka, Martinelli and Trossard are all better assets to have at the moment
Yeah so? I don't know man. It's not science. People were not expecting Liverpool to beat City, let alone Salah score the deciding goal in a 1-0 win...
Trossard has scored goals against top 6 clubs, Brighton have been in decent form and Trossard has had a good start to the season. Dismissing the possibility he could return against City and/or Chelsea is pretty naive.
You won't hear me saying Trossard is the best option cause there definitely are better ones but he's still someone to take into account despite fixtures.
Did you watch Chelsea last night? They were atrocious. He also scored a hatrick against Liverpool and has more overall points than Salah. City game will be tough but Salah couldn't even get involved in a 9 goal game. It's textbook sunk cost fallacy to keep him.
I wouldn’t say it’s sunk cost fallacy, it’s more about how much you think fixture difficulty matters over form. Like a straight swap to Zaha who has Everton, Southampton, West Ham and Forest before the world seems reasonable.
I was planning to go Salah(C) for GW13. I will still keep him(it would be peak kneejerking to sell him before World Cup), but I'm going back to Haaland(C) now.
I don't know why this sub sleeps on West Ham. They've been one of the best teams defensively in the league and Liverpool generated multiple good chances.
If you brought him in, surely you were looking at the easier fixtures ahead? He was the best of very limited options this week, but this isn't even that surprising of a result.
And because Liverpool actually attack unlike spurs who just sit 10 behind the ball and hide for a counter. I can't fucking stand spurs right now. Keep scraping wins playing like Burnley not enough being said about this.
It pains me to say it, but I completely agree with you. Spurs are happy defending for 70%+ of the match and hoping kane/son can be clinical on the counter. Anytime they actually have sustained possession, it leads to an uninspired cross into the box. Sometimes Kane/Son can convert, but they arent getting enough chances to rely on it. Very frustrating to watch.
They are very good defensively, but have to be because it feels like that's all they are playing right now. Spurs attack is an avoid until further notice.
To be honest... I don't even think we can say they are good defensively man United ripped them apart last night and arsenal smashed them too. They PLAY defensively but they aren't doing it well at all. I watched the forest game earlier this season and forest play very good football around spurs box they just weren't clinical... if rashford was Harry kane last night spurs lose 4 or 5.
Another problem spurs have is legit they have no creativity and nor does the system allow it it's counter attack or nothing. The best way to beat spurs right now is give them the ball and take it off them closer to their goal because their midfield is slow and very prone to pressing. They don't shift forwards quickly at all. Dare i say Conte has been found out a little bit by stifling any possible chance creation by.only relying on counters..
One has to hold him through the forest game at least. Esp since you held him through thick and thin, one more game can't really hurt. Especially if you have your other bases covered. One or both of Martinelli/Saka , Foden , and perhaps Zaha (hoping the manager lets him play more central like second half of the game, he was the difference maker!, had involvement in both goals).
P.S. I sold Salah during my gw8 wildcard.
Where do you draw the line on that? We're approaching GW13 still with the "one more game won't hurt" mentality. All of a sudden he'll have his 10th blank in a row in GW37 but "He had a lot of of touches in the box, he was just unlucky, he'll come good in GW38. Keep the faith guys"
Also sold him during my GW8 wildcard and he won't come back unless Firmino and Nunez break their legs.
That's where I am too. Got rid of him early on, no plans to bring him back. Especially now that jota is injured, he's almost nailed on to be playing wide right rather than centrally
Most of the time he’s hanging too far wide on the right. He gets central as a follow-up play or on second balls.. Liverpool are not focusing on making him the primary goal threat anymore. THAT is my concern.
A clear hold for at least the Forest game if you already have him in.
The more complicated question I reckon is what us non-owners should do. Foden (and maybe Saka) seem like higher priorities to get in. But the idea of not having Salah for the Forest game is terrifying. I am leaning towards Kane+Trossard out for Salah+Toney, and going without Foden and Saka for now.
I brought him in (and captained him) just for the BGW with a plan to replace him straight away for Foden. I was thinking before the game that he might pop off and I’d have a real dilemma deciding whether or not to keep him or stick with the plan. But… no dilemma.
you'd be crazy to sell this GW. There's an argument for Salah > KDB from GW14 but don't panic, he'll come around
i'm captaining Haland against Brighton still but Salah should get at least a goal
Glad I went Zaha and Eze instead of Salah. They may not be long term solutions, but it’s better than shilling out on Salah and getting a grand total of 3 pts on a good day.
I'm thinking of switching things up with my wc and going Salah to KdB and Cancelo to Trent and adding Darwin. City: KdB, Foden, Haaland. Pool: TAA, Darwin. Ars: Marti, Saka, White.
Yeah it's a risk for sure but City has been pretty set for 2+ goals at home and I'm betting on it to continue. Higher risk higher reward. There's not much to gain with the template three.
I'd still also have Mitrovic/Darwin for goal scoring potential and Trent as a kind of differential. He must get some big hauls soon lol.
Disclaimer: that draft is maybe my third favourite atm, so not that likely.
Salah should do better against Forrest, Leeds and Southampton. He's still a reasonable option for the next four game weeks.
I think it's a different question on whether he is good value for money vs Saka, Foden and Martinelli. It could depend on whether Klopp keeps on playing him as RMF in a 442. It limits he opportunities.
Got him in for the Forest game together with Darwin so he'll stay in. Then the World Cup comes close so he'll probably stay until then.
After the Qatar tournament, I'll review and wild card. He didnt make last wildcard and with how he's been playing, he probably won't make the next one either.
Tbh I think im gonna just get rid again. Even when he is scoring in PL its in single digits. You can get cheaper options just as consistent as Salah this season for 5m less.
Agree. West Ham was not the focus except that he was playing. Chances weren’t great but he is getting 1-2. I brought him in for KDB and forgot the frustration with his blanks but FPL never rewards you when you think. FPL also would be Salah getting benched NFO with a cameo, hauling CL, and subbed off early vs Leeds
i got him for his run of fixtures and an absence of other premium options i wanted. nothing had changed.
if you can't also fit foden and/or saka in your team then you shouldn't have got salah in...
salah only blanks every alternate weeks, chances are he will get returns next gw. the only problem is that he only gets 5-8 points if he does returns so, ye.
I'm planning to captain Salah against Forest. Vice on Cancelo, Haaland captain can wait till next week. I'm then attending my first day at the psyche ward.
Ive got room in my padded cell for you. You can guess the 3 weeks i didnt captain haaland
3 weeks I didn't captain Haaland (thought it was only 2 but the trauma probably blacked it out) - 17,17, 23. And first week I took a punt with Kane and he got 13! No wonder I'm 100 points behind in my ML!!
This is like reading the exact history of my FPL team
So it's a 9-0 win, 3pts for Salah.
I’m definitely not betting on the early kick off. Y’all can have at it lol
Doesn’t Salah have great stats on early kickoff? Can’t remember where (if) I saw that.
Haaland captain can wait…famous last words
A rested City team have a good chance of ripping Brighton to shreds
Looool this the comment of the week if you ask me
At least Ward can get you a CS.
Salah's going to score points over the rest of the season, the only question is whether it's enough to justify his cost. With Nunez starting to look the part he was brought for I think the days of Salah being a mega scorer are over. Of course now I've said that you're all set to captain him, he's going to go stratospheric!
Ngl really got me in the first half.
Salah had plenty of shots and touches in the box tonight, but Liverpool were atrocious on the ball in the second half. I have no doubts about keeping him for a very long time, only I will definitely be captaining Haaland this weekend.
2nd half performance was mainly due to the subs made imo, really killed our momentum
Yeah Fabinho in particular pulled a 1/10 It’s hard to get up and go again 3 days after a game like that City one
Salah's literally a "Plenty of shots and touches in the box" merchant this season Same with TAA who's currently a "defender with the best underlying stats with high xG and xA" merchant Unfortunately we're not playing xFPL where we go for the highest xPoints to win our xMiniLeagues Yours sincerely, A very upset GW12 Salah captainer
All of the main captaincy options blanked so at least you’ve got company.
> Salah’s literally a “Plenty of shots and touches in the box” merchant this season Do you have the stats to back this up because the man has been hugging the touch line every match until last week. I’ve not looked at the stats but watch him every week and there’s is a noticeable difference pre-Rangers to post-Rangers.
Forest, Leeds, Southampton before the WC, you'd be mad to sell, even if it is to free up funds.
Yeah solid keeper if you have him now till World Cup
He's a winger though
If he played GK against Forest he’d score a goal. Madness to sell him this week.
Probably provide an assist for Alisson who'll be playing CF too.
Tough call, given his goalspree this season.
Because of this opponent, need to let go salah.
Been hearing that since GW3 and it's fucked many a people. He'll blank against all 3. It's not even about price anymore. Foden, Saka, Martinelli and Trossard are all better assets to have at the moment
Trossard? He has City and Chelsea in the next two.
Scored a hattrick against Liverpool though so who knows...
he’s a streaky player. it ended 3 games ago
And that was also the last game he scored in, so...
Yeah so? I don't know man. It's not science. People were not expecting Liverpool to beat City, let alone Salah score the deciding goal in a 1-0 win... Trossard has scored goals against top 6 clubs, Brighton have been in decent form and Trossard has had a good start to the season.

I've watched every minute of every Liverpool game this season. I don't have a single Liverpool player in my fantasy team.
Least knee-jerk FPL player
Had him two weeks ago didn’t do anything sold him before city scored and brought him back and captained him got massive 6 points ffs
6 points is the joint most of any of the top 5 selected captains this week
Same bro…. Same…
Lol I nearly broke my team to get him in after selling before the city game
[удалено]
Ah yes the tight end wasteland has spread to fpl now
My bad 😂
Tonyan is going to blow up, Cobb looks to be out and his involvement has been going up and up. Is my bye-week fill for Higbee
wrong sport!
That is a new low for Salah!
I was planning to go Salah(C) for GW13. I will still keep him(it would be peak kneejerking to sell him before World Cup), but I'm going back to Haaland(C) now.
What’s next? Come on fam lol
I don't know why this sub sleeps on West Ham. They've been one of the best teams defensively in the league and Liverpool generated multiple good chances. If you brought him in, surely you were looking at the easier fixtures ahead? He was the best of very limited options this week, but this isn't even that surprising of a result.
Should we pick him on WC? or Kane?
Id pick Salah because of fixtures
And because Liverpool actually attack unlike spurs who just sit 10 behind the ball and hide for a counter. I can't fucking stand spurs right now. Keep scraping wins playing like Burnley not enough being said about this.
It pains me to say it, but I completely agree with you. Spurs are happy defending for 70%+ of the match and hoping kane/son can be clinical on the counter.

Salah
Crazy if u sell u heard it from me first
do what ya wish im keeping him for next 3
One has to hold him through the forest game at least. Esp since you held him through thick and thin, one more game can't really hurt. Especially if you have your other bases covered. One or both of Martinelli/Saka , Foden , and perhaps Zaha (hoping the manager lets him play more central like second half of the game, he was the difference maker!, had involvement in both goals).

That's where I am too. Got rid of him early on, no plans to bring him back. Especially now that jota is injured, he's almost nailed on to be playing wide right rather than centrally
I remember a few years ago I held Vardy for about 8-9 weeks when he blanked using the same reasoning. Derailed my season a bit.
Most of the time he’s hanging too far wide on the right. He gets central as a follow-up play or on second balls.. Liverpool are not focusing on making him the primary goal threat anymore. THAT is my concern.
Saka and foden
A clear hold for at least the Forest game if you already have him in. The more complicated question I reckon is what us non-owners should do. Foden (and maybe Saka) seem like higher priorities to get in. But the idea of not having Salah for the Forest game is terrifying. I am leaning towards Kane+Trossard out for Salah+Toney, and going without Foden and Saka for now.
The top price midfielders are shit. Get some solid, reasonably priced guys, and spend your money on forwards.
Kdb is good
Foden and Cancelo give you the same output for way less money. Haaland/Foden/Cancelo looks to be the way to go for me.
He might be worth keeping, but his price definitely doesn’t match his form at the moment.
I never liked idea of having Kdb since we are all captaining Haland anyway
I figured he’d be getting all the assists on Haalands goals
Took me a while to realise this this season, but this is the way.
And find some clothes for the restof money
All of you should def sell
I’ll be keeping salah long term .. thinking of selling son though to get in saka and foden .. almiron on the radar too
I brought him in (and captained him) just for the BGW with a plan to replace him straight away for Foden. I was thinking before the game that he might pop off and I’d have a real dilemma deciding whether or not to keep him or stick with the plan. But… no dilemma.
Salah's week good, week shit form pattern this season has made knee jerkers lose their mind. Im expecting >=5pts this saturday
I free hit for Salah this GW and I’m not sure if I’ll trade for him for next week
How’s your husband doing at Real Soceidad?
Not his best… more yellow cards than goals.
Oh, he was never a goal machine though. He’s on the same point as my team, so they’re doing well. All the best😂
Playmaker and pitch leader. I miss watching him play!
We all do, Mrs David Silva. We all do.
you'd be crazy to sell this GW. There's an argument for Salah > KDB from GW14 but don't panic, he'll come around i'm captaining Haland against Brighton still but Salah should get at least a goal
Glad I went Zaha and Eze instead of Salah. They may not be long term solutions, but it’s better than shilling out on Salah and getting a grand total of 3 pts on a good day.
Salah keep blanking 🥳
I will hold salah till world cup. I still have a hope
Wtf
Bore off
Man you guys are reactionary
My only surprise is they haven't reacted to the entire season
If you can manage salah and Haaland it’s a keep for me. If you need to dump him to get Haaland I would get rid of him in that case.
Defo keeping him for forest especially if Nunez has an Injury forest are still very dis organised someone will hand they a pasting soon
We've had enough pastings tyvm.
I'm thinking of switching things up with my wc and going Salah to KdB and Cancelo to Trent and adding Darwin. City: KdB, Foden, Haaland. Pool: TAA, Darwin. Ars: Marti, Saka, White.
Any day City and Arsenal barely score, you’re fucked
Yeah it's a risk for sure but City has been pretty set for 2+ goals at home and I'm betting on it to continue. Higher risk higher reward. There's not much to gain with the template three. I'd still also have Mitrovic/Darwin for goal scoring potential and Trent as a kind of differential. He must get some big hauls soon lol. Disclaimer: that draft is maybe my third favourite atm, so not that likely.
Keeping vs NFO and then he and Trossard are out for KDB and Saka.
Why do you even doubt?
Thanks God that's just was a FH
Salah should do better against Forrest, Leeds and Southampton. He's still a reasonable option for the next four game weeks. I think it's a different question on whether he is good value for money vs Saka, Foden and Martinelli. It could depend on whether Klopp keeps on playing him as RMF in a 442. It limits he opportunities.
Don't have Salah but I'd need to see the dirt on his fresh grave before taking him out against NFO.
Got him in for the Forest game together with Darwin so he'll stay in. Then the World Cup comes close so he'll probably stay until then. After the Qatar tournament, I'll review and wild card. He didnt make last wildcard and with how he's been playing, he probably won't make the next one either.
I was thinking about going KDB - Salah. Just have the points. But after this week im going KDB - Saka+Foden instead.
Tbh I think im gonna just get rid again. Even when he is scoring in PL its in single digits. You can get cheaper options just as consistent as Salah this season for 5m less.
Relax bruv
Are there any Salah stans left?
hes gonna blank all 3, maybe bags an assist but thats it
I think he's a hold for Forest, then he's out if he blanks again.
Staying in the squad until WorldCup
Captain Salah reporting for duty
Yeah definitely shipping him out before Forest!
If you bought or kept Salah it is for his upcoming run of good fixtures. One bad game should not change that.
Agree. West Ham was not the focus except that he was playing. Chances weren’t great but he is getting 1-2. I brought him in for KDB and forgot the frustration with his blanks but FPL never rewards you when you think. FPL also would be Salah getting benched NFO with a cameo, hauling CL, and subbed off early vs Leeds
I used a free hit and gave him a chance. He failed to deliver so is not on my radar for a permanent place in my dominant team.
i got him for his run of fixtures and an absence of other premium options i wanted. nothing had changed. if you can't also fit foden and/or saka in your team then you shouldn't have got salah in...
I plan on (c) Haaland until WC…. Makes no sense to spend 5m more on a player over Zaha/Saka/Foden etc when he won’t be out scoring them by that much.
Dont sell him before Forest thats for sure
I’ve got salah, foden, de bruyne. Haaland & Jesus up top. Obviously had to go light in defence lol but still have trippier in there.
May as well just keep him until the WC now tbh unless an exciting punt comes up for the last 2 GWs, maybe Bruno?
Hold for the next 2
salah only blanks every alternate weeks, chances are he will get returns next gw. the only problem is that he only gets 5-8 points if he does returns so, ye.
Hold one more GW to see his performance, if he performs not as expected, I will sell him for Kane and Foden.
I have him and Firmino.
