Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) came through his international break injury scare to start for Liverpool at Huddersfield.

The Egyptian was named in the starting line-up alongside Virgil van Dijk (£5.9m) and James Milner (£5.7m) who were also passed fit after recent knocks.

Salah was sold by over 350,000 Fantasy managers ahead of Gameweek 9. He is without a goal involvement since Gameweek 6 but does face a very favourable fixture today.

However, Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) dropped to the bench and Sadio Mané (£9.8m) missed out on the matchday squad altogether following a thumb injury.

Daniel Sturridge (£5.8m) and Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m) come in for the pair, both of whom could prove interesting differentials if they look likely to feature more often in the Premier League.

Interest in Huddersfield options remains minimal, with substitute Ben Hamer (£4.0m) their most popular asset (7.9%).

Huddersfield Town XI: Lössl; Zanka, Schindler, Löwe; Hadergjonaj, Mooy, Hogg(C), Billing, Durm; Pritchard; Depoitre

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Henderson, Lallana, Shaqiri, Salah, Sturridge

    Imagine not owning Salah vs Huddersfield when they have Cardiff and Fulham in 10 and 12

    1. Cok3y5murf
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Think your reasoning suggests they should own him in 10 and 12

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Agree but he double digit hauls vs those years

    I assume everyone is taking his to reverse the Salah >> Sterling transfer now, yes? LOL

    Salah captain next week no brainer...

  9. GoodFella93
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Salah's pretty much got to match last season's tally to make him worth the money, literally no chance he's anywhere near the top of the value tables at the end of the season, and that's all that matters really.

    1. XabiAlonso
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No it doesn’t. He needs to be a solid captain option that is all

      1. GoodFella93
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Got enough of those

        1. jtreble
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Sure you do. :). Good luck with that.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Wrong

    3. F4L
      8 years, 18 days ago

      alright. now find me another big hitter who'll likely score 220+ points this season (aside from Kun and Hazard). i'll wait

      1. GoodFella93
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Sterling.

        Him, Kun and Hazard will do me. I'll spend that extra 2m having a beastly four man defence.

        1. jtreble
          8 years, 18 days ago

          What’s your LIV plan for GW9-19? The best run for any of the top three teams this entire season?

    4. nobwak
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Or you can just have him at the right times and sack him off the rest of the time?

      1. Gaffers
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Yep, I haven't owned all season but would happily bring in if he's hitting form

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I’d be delighted with 80% of last year’s score... that’s ridiculous captain points

    6. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Keep kidding yourself on.

    7. Cok3y5murf
      8 years, 18 days ago

      250 points is worth 13m.

    8. My heart goes Salalalalah
      8 years, 18 days ago

      So don’t pick him then fella

    9. jtreble
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Captaincy?

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    8 years, 18 days ago

    How the frig do you fit KDB in, but keep RAM, Haz, Kun, Salah, Richarlison?

    Can’t believe KDB is sitting there at 9.7 & no way to get him in

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I have £9 but can't stretch the extra 🙁

    2. GAMBIT
      8 years, 18 days ago

      With both Ings and Jiminez?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I’ve Ings, Wilson, Fraser, still not even close to KDB unfort

    3. GoodFella93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Drop Salah because he's disproportionally expensive.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Not with Cardiff & Fulham in his next 3

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I actually think Salah is a deal this season.

        Henry was priced at 14m. Aguero at 13m in past seasons. RVP at 14m. Lampard was 13m after he scored 286 pts. They never came close to scoring as many points as Salah last season.

        He's a forward that's scoring midfielder goal points.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          8 years, 18 days ago

          I agree, I don’t think he’s at all overpriced, assuming he gets back to 80% ish of last year’s output. On last year’s form he was probably worth 14.0.

          He’s one of the few players with a realistic chance of scoring 20 points in either/both of cardiff/Fulham games

          1. GoodFella93
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Are we really comparing Salah with Henry? I think people are underestimating the extra attention he has on him this season. I can't help but feel that Sterling, in that City team, can equal Salah's output without spending the extra 2m.

  11. camarozz
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Wow didn't realise Salah has fallen to under 30% ownership. That's great.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 18 days ago

      His & Mendy’s ownerships have both plummeted vs. their peak - going into their run of fixtures from GW9 it looked like a good OR opportunity for owners, hopefully will work out that way

      1. camarozz
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Yep have both. Just got Salah back.

  12. Bubz
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Trippier lost his bap

    1. Maddamotha

      Same here. Middle finger raised to the lollers on here earlier today.

  14. The Left Duke #3
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Goin Sterling over Salah on my WC is working out well....even left 2m ITB for the move next week ffs

  15. S.Kuqi
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Was hoping him stay quiet one more gw. No price drop then 🙁

  16. diesel001
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Only way Huddersfield will score here is if the ref is bent and gives them a dodgy penalty. They might even miss that.

    1. nobwak
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Unfortunately for them they're not Spurs

      1. TAT
        8 years, 18 days ago

        This!

    2. Warby84
      8 years, 18 days ago

      That was a cracking strike by Hogg.. off the post

      1. diesel001
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Still didn't score though. That is the breaks for Huddersfield. Try as they might, it doesn't happen for them.

  17. Cookie Kid

    Sterling over Salah is going well

  18. Ady87

  21. THFC4LIFE

    Looking forward to making my transfers this week, Dilva Knockaert Kane to Salah Maddison Arnie for a hit. Hopefully not priced out by Friday

    1. Rock n Grohl
      8 years, 18 days ago

      What was the deal with Knockaert today?
      Good moves btw.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Not sure fella tbh, cutting my losses with him with him was a punt that hasn’t worked out

  22. Jolly Good
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Two of deliberating doing Sterling to Salah... if only he wasn’t flagged!!

    I wish Shaq is nailed

  25. Ady87

    What do these teams look like with Sterling and Salah in? Presumably no Hazard?

    1. Superflymonk
      8 years, 18 days ago

      have sterling salah hazard sigyy bench fodder fwds calum arnie jimenez

  26. Rainer

    Salah pissing away the BPS

  27. The Big Fella
    8 years, 18 days ago

    I think I have to sell Alonso if I want to make any changes in my team as I do not want to sell anybody else. Salah is the only player who I could sell and he has Cardiff next week and I have a feeling his goal drought has finished now. Any thoughts of a replacement for Alonso? I have Robertson and Mendy

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Give him at least next 3

      1. The Big Fella
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I know but if I do that, I can't make any transfers for the next 3 matches and I already burnt a transfer this week

  28. FPL Blow-In

    I thought I’d 4 baps Mendyx3 Tripx1 ... ah well

  29. Differentiator

    Cmon Udders, score one

  30. Deulofail
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Bit early to be smug about your 13m player scoring a goal. Josh Murphy owners, boast away.

    1. Point-one short
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'm looking forward to the scarbbling to get him in, his price rising back to 13m so I can sell him after the good run of fixtures

    2. Superflymonk
      8 years, 18 days ago

      In a gameweek like tthis even getting 3 pts from your midfielder is something to smile about. I have 5 yellows and 1 goal 1 clean sheet and assist from 10 players

      1. Deulofail
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Smile away 🙂
