Gameweek 32 gets up and running at Selhurst Park this Saturday lunchtime as Crystal Palace entertain Liverpool at 12.30pm.

Having served up a 29-point tally in his previous league outing, Mohamed Salah is again among the key captaincy contenders for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Up against an Eagles’ defence with two clean sheets in front of their own supporters, the Reds’ winger goes in search of a fifteenth double-figure haul of 2017/18.

Elsewhere, the likes of Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both have the form to punish those who parted company on Wildcards.

Over the last five, Firmino has three goals and a pair of assists, while Mane has struck twice and supplied a trio of assists.

Christian Benteke has been the hosts’ form player of late, delivering a goal or assist in seven of his last ten league outings. He’s joined up top by the fit-again Wilfried Zaha, who has recovered from a knee complaint to start against the Merseysiders.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    How do Salah cappers and non cappers feel?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Non capper here

      An early lukaku goal would settle the nerves

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      16 better than 4 by far

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      None capper here. I fully expected him to score, but it hurts that it was so late.

      I would have been happy enough for him to get just the 1 goal beforehand though.

      1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        None capper? Nice.

    4. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Non capper: Feel fine. Think Auba can definitely score tomorrow. I predicted Salah would get 7/8 points anyway.

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      7 is enough.

      Firmino blank is the big thing.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        With Robbo assist 😉

    6. MTPockets
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Capper. Relieved

      • GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Not as good as last week, still decent captain return compared to most.

      • Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Feel 'Meh'. Me and all my ML rivals captained him and we're all on virtually identical points at the moment.

      • Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Fine with the 7/8, thinking Auba is able to outscore him

      • Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Non capper. Not too bothered by 14 points I think Auba will beat it

      • diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Auba(c). Happy not to get properly punished by Salah. Auba has the potential to score a hat-trick tomorrow at home vs Stoke

      • DJ1000
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Ecstatic. Should match or be slightly behind other captns. Main thing is he got 8 pts. Move on

    7. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Mark still own salah? if yes two baps for our Egyptian

    8. Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      What do you prefer salah's 16 points or Aubameyang captain??

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Points. Always.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          What if it were 8 points?

      2. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        birds on the tree

      3. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Points in the bag.

      4. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        14*

        1. TomSaints
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Not what FPL discovery is saying??

      5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Have a feeling Auba is going to smash it tomorrow, like 2 goals 2 assists

      6. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Auba

    9. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      All the regulars on here will be able to tell me: Is Salah having a better FPL season than Suarez and RVP's best seasons?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Suarez 295

      2. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Just yes

      3. MTPockets
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Yep. Suarez was on 269 by gw32. Salah on 273/4.

      4. Sweetpea
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Greetings all.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Maybe.

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          No

          1. Sweetpea
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            Could i wait a week and still be bale to use the other chips effectively?

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

              Depends on your team. Can't just say yes or no.

        3. Bury94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Hmm

      5. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Richarlison better stay on that bench.

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          This.

          Mili 9 pter taunting me from the bench - Richarlison starting for me.

      6. Gonna mesut up
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Took out Robertson in the last hour or so before deadline but 8 points isnt anything to really get too stressed about, a decent return but wildcards are about planning for the rest of the season or at least a few gws, especially with dgws. Good call by people that have him though.

      7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Salah well on track for the 300 points now. Just 26 more needed. He should get another 12 from appearance points straight away.

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          amazing season.....should beat suarez

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            He'll zoom past Suarez in a few weeks.

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Carol Vorderman, is that you?

        3. Feloh
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          can do it in one game

      8. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Really didn't see that Bailly no show.

        Blow for WCers who got him in instead of Vert etc.

        United defense is a no go bar DDG.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Valencia

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            DGW game before the FA cup semi is the only worry.

            I think other than that he plays all other league games.

            1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

              Thats the thing. Maybe go azpi though at same price
              Not sure. Have enough itb for 7 mil defender

        2. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Valencia is also nailed on, slightly overpriced

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            See ^

        3. Chazz69
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Smalling all the way

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            Could be his turn next.

        4. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Valencia? Yes expensive but nailed with attacking threat

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            He sure is the best bet but that one game though...

        5. Js31
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Yeah shocked me that one. Still not convinced Smalling is nailed either so may switch to Vert or save money on Robertson on Arsenal def

      9. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        If football matches were 80 mins long. Palace would be in Europe next season....

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          If is a big word!

        2. Feloh
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          what next after snobbing salah yet again?

      10. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        2 bonus for Salah yeah?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

        2. Fuchs Mane Kante
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

        3. Junior ⚽
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Hoping he can cling onto 1

        4. Chazz69
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          probably only 1

        5. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          2-2

        6. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          No?

          1. AnfieldLad
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            3 bps for winning goal puts him on 33 with mili?

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

              He has lots of deductions to come apparently

              1. IRBOX ⚽
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 8 days ago

            2. Rainer
              • 9 Years

              • 11 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

        8. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

            Nice touch.

        2. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Averaging 7 points per player so decent.

          1. Fuchs Mane Kante
            • 9 Years

            Nice touch.

            • 9 Years

            Nice touch.

            1. Fuchs Mane Kante
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

      12. SantiClaus
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        At this point I'd still stick with Auba(c)... just

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          of course you'd stick !

          1. SantiClaus
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            Salah's 8 in the bank is nothing to be sniffed at...

            1. F4L
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

              at this point in the season I wouldn't take 7 points for my captain. Might as well go for it

        Any reports on Gudmundsson absence as Dyche thought would be OK?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Salah out of bonus 🙂

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Robertson - 3
          Milli - 2
          Milli - 1

          1. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            Milnyy you meant

      16. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Will Salah seriously get no bonus?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Hopefully.

        2. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          either that or someone at FPL towers lacks a decent sense of humour

        3. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          'Seriously'? he was poor today. But world class players step up even when playing poor.

        4. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Why would he? Dispossessed 6 times. Horrible

      17. GE
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Keep Bailly for DGW34 now?

      18. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Salah 0 bonus.

        Why?

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Disposessions

          1. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            7 disposessions? A bit frustrating that.

          Why's it a joke?

        2. Lallana_

          Hows it a joke?

        5. Junior ⚽
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Why do creative or attack minded players get punished for a having a volley go wide by inches? Can't see how Milner had a better game than him.

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 8 days ago

              Because their job is to assist/score?

            • Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

              You clearly know the rules. You don't have to own or captain Salah

          Mendy posted a video 48 minutes ago (on Instagram) of him, Aguero, and Otamendi getting treatment in what looks like City facilities.

          Otamendi owners concerned?

          ....and another thing about Palace....You really have to take your hat off to those fans, always up for it and always positive.

          Do they really come from the same city as Arsenal fans?....like chalk and cheese...

            They enjoy the moment for sure

            even clapped Lallana off

            classy fans compared to the other london teams

              Well wherever they come from in my minds eye they look exactly like a football crowd should look...and exactly like the kind of crowd players would want to play in front of.

                Don't mind me, it was just a not-too-subtle dig at my previous area of residence! And yes, agree on Palace fans. West Ham could learn a thing or two as well.

            The moment Saints are safe (we're going down) i'm all for Palace staying up as great support and club. Sadly I can't see both of us surviving at the moment.

          Mark. Have a word. We don't pay 15 quid for our captains not to get bonus points.

          Can someone confirm that Mou said Bailly will get minutes? Saw someone write it here. Really annoying
