            Makes sense - although they found a way to manage the problem when you have 3 players from one team in your squad and one of your other players transfers in to the same team in January.

      For them all to do well but Salah doesn’t make a difference (I think)

      Salah to outperform Mane.... Robo to outperform other Liv defenders... pretty straight forward

        Even with owning Mane you still want Salah captain to score more. Worrying about Salah triple captainers is pointless.

      All of them to smash it. No one's ownership is 100%. Few people own both Salary and Mane. I am hoping to benefit.
