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.

    Spurs will have to beat Barca at home to qualify now ( assuming they lose away to Barca )

      Nah early days mate. Altho to throwaway a game like that is so hilariously calamitously Spursy.

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

        If Inter beat PSV twice then they def need a result vs Barca

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No chance.

      Good for their FPL prospects tho.

    ouch ! anyone watched the Inter Spurs game down under ?

  3. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 7 months ago

    Mane and Walcott to hazard and Fraser for a minus 4 worth it?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Losing Mane for a -4, no chance.

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

        Yeah, the other two options are salah to hazard for free or hold off hazard for this week and save my ft

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Salah to Haz, simple.

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Do Salah to Hazard for free

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

            Cheers, I have a wc to get salah back if it goes horribly wrong

            1. My Name Is Pepu
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              It won't go horribly wrong with the extra € you get out of him.

              Good luck!

                5 years, 7 months ago

                Just seems the wrong fixture to make the switch , soton at home

    2. Son is Rising
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Coin toss I think. Would you be playing both?

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

        Yeah I have a poor bench.

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I’d just roll your transfer and do the moves for free next week.

      Pool at home to Southampton screams points. Why would you sell Salah or mane?

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

        I’m leaning to agree with you. I dropped from OR 500 to 6k this gw due to no haz

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          He’s not going to score a hat trick every week though. You missed the hat trick, you just got to try and forget it and not let it sway your decision. Last week is last week, just focus on Salah and Mané v Southampton, or hazard -4.

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

            Cheers buddy your 100% right

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

            What about the issue of rotation though? Can you see reduced minutes for either Salah or Mane?

  4. Fred54
    • 9 Years

    You knew Spurs were bottle this until the cows come home, aye Poch.

  6. MTPockets

      All went wrong after Moura came on.

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

        Partly at fault for the winning goal too.

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I don't get Poch's two at the top strategy, it's clearly not working for them.

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

        Cost them the game with his non marking too

    • Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years

      Looks like the Spurs bubble has burst then.

      1. My Name Is Pepu

        Always does 😆

        1. Marvin Moon
          • 7 Years

          The constant praise they were getting was becoming nauseating to be fair. Glad it's over.

      2. FPL Ultras

        Wait for a Kane's hatrick in the weekend!

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Out of form strikers don't do that.

    • Net Gains
      • 7 Years

      Do we expect Mendy and/or Kun to be out for a while?

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I didn’t plan on it.

      2. Dr Van Nostrand

      Klopp just said Firmino’s eye is getting better but not good enough for today.

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        But good enough for the subs bench. Nothing wrong with him. Rest much appreciated. Genuine captain option now

    • Goaldigger
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I have been looking for a way to assemble a team with the "big 5" (Alonso, Hazard, Mane, Salah and Aguero). You could argue that Mendy should make it a "big 6" but I can't stretch my budget that far.

      Anyway, I can get this team over the next two weeks or by taking a -8 hit this week (which I won't).

      Fab - Rui
      Bennett - Alonso - Boly - AWB - Schlupp
      Mane - Hazard - Fraser - Salah - Westwood
      Mitro - Wilso - Aguero

      The cheap defenders are actually quite good because Wolves and CP rotate very well for at least 5 or 6 weeks. Schlupp obv needs to go at some point.

      What do you think? Worth considering? 🙂

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        This is pointless, literally. The optimum team will only have 2 big hitters and no fodder. You can only captain one of them.

    • Daft Bob
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      There's an error in the article's analysis. The first table shows salah has the fewest minutes per shot on target and Hazard the most, but the second table gives salah a rank of two and Hazard a rank of one.

      I have been trying to ditch Bavies, but always bigger fires etc... Now I really wonder if I just have to take -4 and ditch him. Rose was awful last week, but probably good enough vs Southampton. What would you do? -56% so not dropping in price yet though. But I do have risk players like Robbo, Mané, Kun and Mendy and also Kamara on my bench with two certain starters.

      PS And sorry to disturb those who are watching matches. Cannot watch them myself atm.
