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.

    Bottomed on last article...

    Down to the final combos to finish my WC team this week. Which option do you prefer and why pls guys?

    A) Shaw - Hojbjerg - Vardy
    B) Holebas - Richarlison - Zaha

    Rest of team is:
    Patricio - Hennessey
    Alonso - Mendy - XX - Doherty - AWB
    Hazard - Mane - Dilva - XX - Fraser
    Aguero - Mitro - XX

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      B Shaw could be rotated

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Rhodes. So could Dilva so a bit of a risk with (A) given CL fixtures etc...

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Lindelof?

            1. Flynny
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Serious.

              4.9m seems to be playing every game

              Good fixtures

              1. Andy Mac
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years

                Sorry mate but he’s utter dross. Plenty of better options out there!

                1. Flynny
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 9 months ago

                  Name a 5m or less defender more likely to accumulate steady points over next few weeks??

                  1. Andy Mac

                    • 8 Years

                    Doherty - Boly. Any of the wolves back 4 tbf! 🙂

                    1. Flynny
                      • 11 Years
                      7 years, 9 months ago

                      Fair point. But I got Patricio and not a fan of doubling up..

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Kane big chance missed

  17. tafrère
    • 9 Years

    Trippier nailed against Brighton, here we got or Mendy replacement guys!

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Poor from kane

    What a chance

  19. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    The only stats that really carry any weight here are box attempts (and arguably chance creation). And Salah ranks highest. The question is why does Salah rank highest and fall short.

    I suspect the answer is a combination of not quite being in his groove yet re. accuracy and some bad luck. As a Salah owner my belief in him remains fairly unshaken by what I have seen and read. Over the moon he is approaching a minor differential!

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Worried about the poor BAP collection?

      Single goal can be a disappointing captaim score without it, for 13m.

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I don't have any concerns at all at the moment as we have so many budget players performing and defenders are such good value, and there is such a dearth of mid/premium players performing that I'm very happy to continue to accommodate Salah alongside Hazard and Aguero.

  20. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Kane just needs to hit that. Not going near the guy anytime soon

  21. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    What to do with this lot?

    Rui
    Mendy - Robbo - Alonso - Wan B
    Salah (C) - Mane - Pedro - Wally
    Kun - King

    Hart - Shaw - Stephens - Kamara

    1 FT and 1.3 ITB

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Wally to rich/Maddison?

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. Was thinking Wally > Maddison or Fraser too. Was also thinking Shaw > Laporte or Pereira maybe. Don't think I need to WC yet, right?

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Depends how much you want hazard

          1. Drogba Legend
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Mane over Hazard this week, right?

            1. Drogba Legend
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Otherwise I can go Mane > Haz and still have .2 ITB

  22. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Salah 23 Goal attempts / 18.6mins per chance

    Mane 15 Goal attempts / 28.8 mins per chance

    Mane far more clinical with his chances so far.

    1. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      If/when Salah finds his shooting bootd and mane regresses a little that may be a hell of a swing in points

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        That's basically been the discussion on podcasts. Jay E seems to be considering selling Salah instead of Mane. He's probably looking more at overall form right now. We don't know when Salah will hit form.

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Tonight 😉

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Mane is usually not very clinical, I think he has just been lucky so far

    3. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I have two words for you: mean regression. Think about it for a moment. :).

      1. piquiblanco
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        You actually used the term wrong, it's regression to the mean. The mean doesn't regress. Observations do.

        1. jtreble
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I'm blaming my financial modelling texts for this. :).

          1. piquiblanco
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Sounds like what I did all day today!

  23. Kobrakai
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Current team:

    Ederson Stekelenburg
    AWB - Mendy - Alonso - Tarkowski - Hoedt
    Pedro - Mané - Fraser - Salah - Ward
    Kun - Wilson - King

    Considering this WC team:

    Ederson 4m
    AWB - Mendy - Alonso - Hoedt - TTA
    Hazard - Salah - Mané - Fraser - Ward
    Lacazette - Wilson - Ings

    What do you think? Kinda lame I cannot play Ings next week (faces Liverpool) but thats a sacrifice I'd have to make.

    Any comments?

  24. aborg
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Kane should have put that in the back of the net. He has not been sharp at all this season.
    He was alone against the goalie and still messed it up... he would have scored that if he was as good as last year

  25. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    So this article says: sell mane, get hazard.

    Clearly state show salah better than mane etc.

    Still wouldn't sell mane before playing Southampton to be honest!

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      But salah costs 3 mil more, still.

      People don't like selling their players who have made a profit.

  26. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    who is best walcott replacement please?

    A...richarlison

    B...Fraser and keep the change

    Thanks

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years

      A

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Likely to play wildcard in international break so looking at next few games....

        Richi is at everton....

        Fraser at Burnley this weekend...

    2. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A

  27. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Inter look pretty slow and tentative - and they are at home! Spurs should go for the jugular after half time.

  28. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Who will score more points over next 4 weeks:

    Salah & Richarlison or
    Mane & Dilva

  29. Drexl Spivey
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    In selling Salah over Mané, I still can't see where the added cash improves the average Top10k team.

    Assuming everyone has Agüero and a decent back three already, the value appears to lie in cheaper strikers over Vardy, and mid-price mids.

    I'd love to have David Silva in my team, perhaps, but my current lineup of Salah, Hazard, Maddison and Fraser seems more than enough.

    You need cheaper players anyway, to build your team's value.

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Agree with everything except the last line.

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Fair enough.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      3-5-2 with a loaded midfield and good forwards

    3. piquiblanco
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I agree, tried swapping Salah for Haz today to see how I can utilize the money. Turns out I couldn't find anything clever to do with the cash. On the other hand, I can't find an easy way to swap Mane to Haz either. Maybe after the next GW.

  30. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Arnie to Mitro for -4 or hold?

    Have Mendy and Aguero who are doubts (Ings suspended) so only Boly and Stephens on the bench.

    1. piquiblanco
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Hold, I have the same three and I'm keeping them.
