Saturday’s events draw to a close at Anfield where Liverpool host champions Chelsea in an encounter strewn with Fantasy talent.
Arguably, Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) two most in-form midfielders are on show, as the top scoring player – Mohamed Salah – goes head-to-head with Eden Hazard.
Following back-to-back returns of 15 and 16 points, Salah is backed by 273,000 with the captaincy and boasts an ownership of 44.9% – second only to Romelu Lukaku.
That dwarfs Hazard’s popularity levels, with the Belgian part of just 5.9% of squads, despite an 18-point haul at West Brom in Gameweek 12.
Alvaro Morata is undoubtedly Chelsea’s most in-demand attacking asset. The striker was signed by another 193,000 heading into Friday’s deadline and is found in 25.1% of squads. Given Lukaku’s blank for Manchester United today, that is surely set to climb, irrespective of his performance in this tea-time clash.
