Which Liverpool midfielder should you sell to get Hazard?

Eden Hazard, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané are at the heart of Gameweek 6’s biggest dilemma.

Fantasy Premier League managers are currently assessing the best way of bringing Hazard into their teams, and those currently holding the Liverpool pair have a tough choice to make.

We’ve gone over the underlying data for the first five Gameweeks of the season to find out if Hazard is worth owning, whether it’s time to sell Salah or if Mané can match either of them.

Fantasy Football Scout members can find this information in the Members Area and read on ahead to enjoy our analysis.

    pay to win members don't you think data should be open to all not just tryhardsweatjobs

      Nope.

      If youre too cheap to pay for membership then go source your own data

        I cant wait to finish above you

    3. Totalfootball

      Agreed

  2. zotter
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Does aguero remain a must have? I still think yes though he is testing patience.

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      His ownership is so high and he's so capable of exploding in a game so I'm keeping for the time being.

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Same here. No sign of rotation either which compounds the argument. Seems like Jesus is on the mahrez sane sterling rotation roundabout not aguero

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think for now I would hold. City Fixtures are great, ownership is high and Auba and Kane are not in good enough form yet. Only Lukaku looks well among the premium forwards but Kun should match his output over the coming weeks.

  3. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Son playing and Moura in the bench is a good sign for the latter to start on GW6, no?

    I am a Moura owner. Good to keep him, right?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes though he could get ousted soon. Both Lamela and Son are well liked by Pocch

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I will likely bring one of Fraser, Maddison, Ramsey or Richarlison very soon!

    2. bhunasallround
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      it bodes well

    3. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn’t sell, but wouldn’t buy

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Four players competing for 2 places (or three for 1 place, if you think Alli is undroppable) doesn't bode well imho. Although he may well start GW6, he's had a good start.

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        No, Poch will play the most in-form player - it's as simple as that.

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          He hasn't done that previously.

          1. jtreble
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Spurs haven't been this poor previously either.

    5. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yup.

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You would think so but could go either way. Poch is unpredictable. I'd say Son needs to show some form in the second half to make me think otherwise

  4. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Schmeichel / Hamer
    Robertson / Mendy / Alonso / AWB / Peltier
    Salah / Mane / Pedro / Fraser / Stephens
    Aguero / King / Arnie

    1 FT; 0.7 ITB

    Guessing the obvious move would be Pedro > Richarlison/Maddison but not sure which one & possibly even Arnie > Mitro (-4)

  5. fantasyxprt11
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Need suggestions

    Kepa/Hamer

    Mendy Alonso TAA WBA Bennett

    Hazard Salah Hojbjerg Moura Ramsey

    Reid Jiminez Aguero

    Planning on Hojbjerg and Ramsey/Moura for Fraser and Richarlison/Maddison. Wise?

    1. fantasyxprt11
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      -4

    2. zotter
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Kepa and Ramsey to 4.5 plus Fraser. Then use cash in due course. Don’t see double Chelsea defence a good idea with their fixtures

  6. Jay_
      5 years, 7 months ago

      From the other side of the fence, as a Pool-less Hazard owner, I’m looking at all sorts of ways to bring in Mane or Salah. Looks like it’ll have to be Mane though, depending on tonight and tomorrow. I personally can’t see the point in selling a Pool mid this week for Hazard. Funny old game.

      1. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        “Get Hazard in sooner rather than later even if it means selling one of your premium Liverpool assets. It may be worth considering this as early as Gameweek 6 in case Hazard’s price rises again.”

        FPL Chief.

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Key words: "one of". :).

          1. Oven Glover
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Should be “none of”.

    • Rash

      Foster Fab

      Ings aguero Firmino

      1 Ft. 0.1 itb
      A. Walcott to richarlison / Madison / Fraser
      B. Firmino to Laca / Vardy
      C. A plus B
      D. Salah to Hazard
      E. Something else
      F. Hold (though think A is much better option)

      The team that have had the most fpl points scored against them is Huddersfield. 94 pts for the opposing midfielders

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        They are also along with Cardiff the worst team in the prem

      2. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
        • 10 Years

        Maddison in this week

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Im using this to decide whether to go Rich or Madd. Arsenal have has 84 pts scored by opposing mids this season

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Richarlison

            1. internal error

              • 11 Years

              Yea. Will get him probably.
              Firmino 🙁

      3. Revival

        Great to know as I plan on bringing in Maddison this week

      Bobby rested for Southampton...

      1. EgyptianKing

        You think?

        1. Mysterion
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Rested tonight to be ready to smash Southampton 🙂

          1. EgyptianKing
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            I hope Mane plays on GW6 as well....

    • Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Any improvements to this lot...

      Ryan
      Alonso - Mendy - AWB
      Salah (C) - Hazard - Maddison - Fraser
      Aguero - Mitro - Zaha

      (Hamer, Boly, Højbjerg, Bennett)

      1. fantasyxprt11
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe take out Ryan. Not sure of how he will do as your only keeper. Also I might do Boly- Cedric or Cook or someone. Or even Doherty or Jonny seem better options tbh.

    • Niho992
      • 5 Years

      Stu instead Bobby, i exspect Shaqiri instead Salah on saturday vs Saints

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I expect Mane rested.

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Mane is in better form, so i dont think so. I have salah so maybe fear talking instead me especialy i want him as captain

          1. zotter
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Only reason I say this is salah came off early v Leicester. Mane has played 90s

            1. Niho992
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Well we will see tonight. Hope liverpool trash psg 4-1 Mo scored 2 and came off in 64 minute and Mane play full match

        2. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I expect I won't speculate at all. It's a pointless exercise.

      Evening all!

      This week, with me on holiday (please forgive the rougher cut than usual), we talk team value a little bit but mostly talk about Nick's wildcard which hopefully is useful to those with the big chip active.

      We then move on to our features section, which covers:

      - Market Forces: our look at the movers & shakers in the FPL transfer market
      - Zombie league: our review of the ghost ship league we're running on behalf of our unspecified family members
      - All England: keeping track of our team of All-English players this year

      Finally, we take some questions
