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.

      Kun trained and looked okay, Mendy didn't and is a doubt

        • 14 Years

        I read somewhere Mendy might be a few weeks out

    4. Hy liverpool

    5. Rainer

      Rested for their biggest game of the season so far.

    6. Fingerspitzengefühl

      Dead and gone

    7. Revival

      rested for weekend

    8. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Does it matter he's obviously not safe with Son back

    9. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      A quarter past three

    Is Dropping Kun for Lacazette (who is on looking good and has easy fixtures) to free funds to upgrade Pedro -> Hazard worth the risk of not owning Kun? Dilemma 😀

    1. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You seem to forget that Kun himself also got a 20pt haul. Unless he gets rested an/or dropped I don't think it's wise to drop esp given the fixtures.

      1. Kobrakai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Well I am resilient to take the obvious move (Salah or Mané) as I would like to keep them doubled up for a while longer.
        Another option I could fund Hazard with is downgrading Mendy to a 4,5m defender. That would allow me to keep Kun. I am a bit worried with Rotation though, where I am convinced Hazard will play every PL game he is fit. Same goes for Mané/Salah to a certain extend.

        More detailed injury news could be helpful to make that choice, but I guess it is a bit early for that...

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I did the opposite transfer 3 gameweeks ago and lost out on 6 points. Not sure about going the other way, though. The Hazard transfer is worth it, but there could be a better way to fun it.

      1. Kobrakai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        True. But Lacazette looks interesting too with the current fixtures. I am not sure he will score less points then Kun.

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

    So Son is the disposable CL player for now. Moura looking safe for a while.

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

      Son off, Moura on.

      Saving Son for the weekend I see

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Hahaha

        Really tempted to get him in for Mkhi

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  12. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Never had Mane.
    Sold Aubameyang 2 weeks ago for -4 to fund Richarlison > Hazard.

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Son rested for Brighton.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Son rested for a sub appearance against Brighton.

  14. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Eriksen just loves a non FPL goals, it gives him a sense of enormous well-being.

    1. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Then he’s happy for the rest of the day

  15. fridge

    Mane > Hazard this week or hold off with SOU at home? Slightly worried by my pathetic bench bit no need to wildcard right?

    1FT, 1.2m ITB

    Foster
    Alonso. Mendy. VVD. AWB
    Salah. Mane. Fraser. Maddison
    Aguero. Zaha

    Patricio. Cairney. Ings. Peltier

    1. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hold for now

  16. CaTriEm
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Lingard for the next three fixtures a bit too punty? Guess Maddison is the safer template option in that price range for short-term.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      When are Mourinho AMs ever a good option

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        They were once upon a time in the long long never ago. Damien Duff & Arjen Robben scored goals for fun that year.

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          That was a long distant world when Mourinho was actually a good manager

    2. piquiblanco
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Rich and Fraser though, aren't those the best options? Unless you have them and play 3-5-2/4-5-1.

    3. AxeMinion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'm going Maddison for sure

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Interesting option, but yeah too punty

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

      Yep too punty, Maddison is the nailed on more safer pick

      1. Superflymonk
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Think Granville has Lingard. He does have an eye for hidden gems. But yeah too risky.

  17. AxeMinion
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Which lineup do you think scores more points in the next 3 weeks?

    Salah + Zaha
    Vs
    Mane + Lukaku

    Salah & Mane: SOU, che, MCI
    Zaha: NEW, bou, WOL
    Lukaku: WOL, whu, NEW

    1. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      'so hard to call

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B. Mane can match Salah and Lukaku is a better player than Zaha.

  18. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    So people are really considering dropping Mane or Salah for Hazard
    when they have Southampton at home? The time to do it were last week imo. Chelsea’s fixtures not that great now.

  19. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Why didn’t Moura start and why isn’t Trippier even on the bench?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Both rested.

      1. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        How can they bench those players in a match like this?

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          They are winning so decision justified so far.

          1. TaiwanHC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            What about now?

        2. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Not that much between them and their replacements mate

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 7 months ago

        'rested'

        1. TaiwanHC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          What do you mean?

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 7 months ago

              They didn't need a rest, so benched/rotated.

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

          Rotation.

      • ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Spurs need to give Kane a rest. You can see he is very lethargic and wont get 15 goals for the season at this rate.

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Poch really has flogged him to death

        2. william prunier
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Once Spurs flow he will score.
          People need to stop parroting the lethargic rubbish.

          Mods didnt own Hazard so they didnt want to put fuel on the fire. Now they are interested though.
