FPL Question Time – Whether Salah is essential and the end of rotation threat

Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) is the headline topic in this week’s Fantasy Premier League Question Time offering.

The Egyptian has wowed everyone with three goals and three assists in his last four top flight outings and his lofty price has many wondering how much to sacrifice to get him in.

We’ve asked one of the best managers in the game what his thoughts are on Salah, as well as discussing the end of rotation threat, differential strikers and how best to invest in Manchester United.

Who’s on the panel this week?

FPL General – one of the biggest names in Fantasy football with three top 500 finishes in his last four campaigns.

Tom from Who Got the Assist?, one of the FPL community’s most popular podcasts.

Holly from Fantasy Football Community, currently ranked 15k worldwide

Question 1 – FPL General

James: How essential is Salah going forward? Would you make multiple transfers to take out any of Hazard, Kane or Aubameyang to bring him in?

General: “This is a question I’m asking myself this week. Selling the Egyptian ahead of the festive fixtures was a costly decision and I’m looking to bring him back in this week.

“No player is essential, but Salah is the player I’d want to own for the next five Gameweeks more than any other.

“He can be captained in all five which is a big factor. He’s back to his best, playing in a team fighting for the league title, it’s not one to overthink.

“I will be making multiple transfers to fit him back in, most likely three moves for a -4 hit.

“Points hits to accommodate a player like Salah are fine as you would expect him to pay you those points back, especially if you are going to captain him often which is likely to be the case given Liverpool’s kind fixture run.

“To get Mo back, I must lose one of Kane or Hazard this week. I’m torn. Both have great fixtures. The fact that I’m no longer confident in handing the Belgian the armband may swing it in Kane’s favour.

“I was severely punished by Salah over the festive period and I won’t be making the same mistake again. He’s as close to essential as they come now.”

Question 2 – Tom

Nikolas Mavrogalos: Is it all time for everyone to buy a ticket and jump on the Ashley Barnes train?

Tom: “Ashley Barnes is an enabler. Let’s get that clear.

“He operates on the same plane as the temporarily injured Danny Ings does – a striker who will help you if you need to unlock cash for elsewhere in your side.

“What Barnes has on his side, though, are strong stats and good performances to the eye.

“He’s actually second over the last six Gameweeks for big chances, for example, and third for shots in the box. Strong stats however you look at it.

“With Fulham (home) and Watford (away) in the next two matches, he might be a strong pick if you need a player at his price point, but it’ll be one you’ll need to continually monitor.”

Question 3 – Holly

Suraj Janyani: Now the busy schedule is out of the way, can we go the cheapest bench possible and maximise funds in our first XI without fear of much rotation?

Holly: “Rotation wasn’t as bad as first feared over the busy schedule and we are very lucky this season to have players with regular minutes at the budget end of the pricing to fill our benches.

“Button is the choice keeper at £4.0m, at least for the next few weeks. Meanwhile, Bednarek £3.9m joins the likes of Bennett £4.1m, who started the season at 4.0 along with Wan-Bissaka.

“Those playing 3-4-3 have better cheap midfield options to choose from than those going 3-5-2. Camarasa at £4.6m and Westwood £4.5m represent the best value picks, but it’s possible to downgrade as far as Romeu/Gibbs-White at £4.3m or even Puncheon at £4.2m.

“Kamara at £4.6m is the only extra-cheap option for our front lines, but he’s been in Ranieri’s bad books and could lose his place during the transfer window.

“If you are in the situation where there’s no obvious transfer to be made in your team, look to downgrade your bench in preparation for maximising funds in the first XI.

“With double and blank Gameweeks starting to come on the horizon, an early look at the clubs to target could make the decision making process even easier.”

Question 4 – Tom

Carlos: Is it time to dump Martial? He seemed like the logical choice when Solskjaer took over Manchester United but Rashford and Pogba have stolen the show instead, while Martial has produced only one goal and assist in four matches…

Tom: “Martial is looking the fall guy for me of the players I have, as I’m doubled up with him and Pogba.

“The call is being made because there is an abundance of assets in midfield right now and I simply want another option.

“However, Martial is a clinical player who has it in him to be a match winner for Manchester United, as we saw early in the season.

“This is very much one where there’s a case to keep or sell, but it is very dependent on your situation and who you might replace him with to complement your strategy going forward.”

    Fabianski (Button)
    TAA Digne AWB Bednerak (Doherty)
    Hazard Salah Pogba Richarlison (MGW)
    Kane Aubameyang (Kamara)

    A. Use 0.3 ITB to 'upgrade' MGW to Camarasa
    B. Split Pogba & Kamara/MGW into 2 mid-priced options (Arnie + Jota)

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Camarasa is a good 7th attacker with great fixtures. A for me

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        *8th

        1. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          A 4.6m penalty taker plus set-pieces? Why is he not worth playing?

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah kind of right especially 4/5 next game weeks. Just Kamara such a dud pick

            1. Wılly
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Unfortunately if you go the 2-striker route then there isn't much option other than to go Kamara.

              Solanke might become an option but Bournemouth have a lot of attackers in their team.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A.

  2. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Play one:
    A-jimeneth (mci)
    B- kiko (cry)
    C- camarasa (HUD)?

    1. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Based on the fixture alone, A. No brainer.

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Seriously though, I think I'd feel better starting Camarasa.
        I'd exclude B from your options though

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You mean bench?

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I mean play ! 🙂

  3. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Foster | Patricio
    Robertson | Luiz | Digne | AWB | Kelly
    Hazard | Rich | Son* | Felipe* | Martial
    Kane | Jimenez* | Wilson*

    2FT and 0.2 itb

    Any suggestions?

    Feel Salah is too expensive as I don't wanna lose Hazard/Kane. Firmino/Mane as the Liverpool option then? Also, which one of Jimenez/Wilson to get rid? Have had Wilson since GW1. But feel it's time to say say good bye.

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson to maybe barnes (bench most times) and son to dilva or sane or mane?

      1. WE GO FOR IT

        Cheers! 🙂

  4. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    So hi I support West Ham and otherwise i’d Captain Auba but I am going to the game and am definitely not willing on my captain against my team. I have to captain hazard, doing this for you west Ham even though it hurts

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Same here i swapped it to haz. I still remember the awkwardness when alexis was my captain in that 1-5 game

      1. HammersFan
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Or when Lukaku was at Everton and he would always score against us

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Forget loyalties in FPL. I did great putting C on anyone playing Villa the season they got relegated

    3. HammersFan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I love captaining players against us our Defense is horrible.

      Sanchez hatrick and Lukaku hatrick from seasons past spring to mind. We never do well against arsenal either

    4. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Could think of it as a potential win-win, but depends which you favour more

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’m West Ham too, and seriously thinking of captaining Arnie this week. I kind of promised myself I would when I saw how angry he looked after scoring and being subbed early last week. I think he will be on a mission against Arsenal’s poor defence.

  5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What are Chelsea doing trying to sign Higuain? The last thing they need is another slightly above average striker

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It's what they do

    2. HammersFan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Who’s in charge of their signings these days, seems to be all over the place the last few seasons.

    3. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      somehow I think he will fit right into their system - Sarri coached him for 3 years

  6. Snipez21
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    GTG?

    Ederson
    Digne Robertson AWB
    Salah Pogba Richarlison Fraser
    Arnie Aguero Auba (C)

    (Hamer, Doherty, Camarsa, Simpson)

    Aguero or Auba for Captain?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Is that WC team?

      1. Snipez21
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It’s not I took a few hits to put it together, still got WC

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Ok just hoped you didn't get Ederson on WC

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Looks very good for this GW, bit of a coin flip for the armband there but the home fix would sway me. I'm putting Camarasa as first sub over Jimenez this week.

      1. Snipez21
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not liking it going forward? Any changes you would make?

  7. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking about doing some heavy surgery with my banked transfer in order to get Salah back in:

    Auba + TAA + Felipe OUT =>
    Salah + Mitrovic + Cedric IN -4pts

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Honestly horrific. 3 good players out for Salah and 2 mediocre. TAA one of most sought after players this week and you want to sell?

      1. BBC_TF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        i hear you. create havoc. but not sure how to go Salah-less but cant really sell Hazard, Kane right now

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Let's say for arguments sake Hazard blanks 3rd week in a row? You sell then?

        2. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          You know Felipe has 2pts more than Hazard last 10 games?

          1. BBC_TF
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Felipe has ok-not great fixtures coming up and Arnie will take more points. not saying he is a bad player btw. Trying to find a way to fit salah in my mid. Felipe is the most sellable. I would replace him with Mitrovic in this budget bracket.

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Last stretch 4 full games Arnie between injuries 11-14
              Felipe 4 goals
              Arnie 1 goal 2 assists

              Myth busted

    2. BBC_TF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      My team would become:
      Fab - Pat
      Robbo - Doherty - Digne - Cedric - AWB
      Salah - Hazard - Pogba - Richarlison - Billing
      Kane - Mitrovic - Jimenez

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    1) Out - Son and Alonso, In - Salah and Pereira
    2) Out - Son and Kane, In - Salah and Aguero

    1ft and 3.1 itb
    Alisson-Speroni
    Robertson-Doherty-alonso-AWB-Laporte
    Fraser-Rich-Pogba-Son-FAnderson
    Rashford-Kane-Kamara

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't do any of those trades this week

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        any suggestions or save transfer?

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Too much money in defence. AWB 3 CS last 5 how many times you play?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Played AWB 1/5 in GW19. What do your thoughts on Laporte out for Pereira

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Same problem. Overkill in defence

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Laporte for Tomkins/Jonny/Bennett as the 5th defender?

            1. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              You have Doherty, so perhaps not Jonny. He is worth the extra over Bennett though.

    3. tjostolv
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I would do 1).
      Personally selling son now after a great run. Now has MUN and then off to Asia. Everyone (else) now selling city assets should be a good entry to Sane again.

  9. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Patricio (Hamer)
    Robertson Digne Wan-Bissaka (Balbeuna Doherty)
    Salah Pogba Sterling Lingard (Snodgrass)
    Kane Jimenez Kamara

    1FT, 1.4m ITB. Which move?
    (A) Lingard to Richarlison
    (B) TAA to Balbuena
    (C) Both for -4
    (D) Save FT

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Balbuena to TAA for sure

    7. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      So Crystal Palace has clean sheet odds of 34% and Watford 26%, yet Watford has a 'very high probability of a clean sheet' and Palace is a 'close call, but likely to concede'? How does that make sense?

      So it would seem I am better off playing Kiko Femenia than selling Lovren for Tarkowski/Bamba etc ...

      Can't see why Watford are so high with 1 clean sheet in their last 10/11 games =/

        What's Palaces home form like?

        1. MMN
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Isn’t Newcastle’s away form similar with Chelsea being much tighter at home than Watford are on the road?

        2. MMN
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I understand Palace’s home form is terrible with 5 goals in 10 games but I’m just trying to understand how Watford’s defence comes into the equation (by doing a comparison with Chelsea vs Newcastle since Chelsea are much tighter than Watford at the back with Newcastle also fairly goal shy).

    Last week Hazard was a must before palace and now everyone can’t wait to get rid, love this place sometimes

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sold 6 weeks ago. Missed only 2 double point scores since GW8. 6 green arrows. Such a relief not to have as C temptation. Surely would've had C last week

      1. HammersFan
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yea I got drawn in and did rash + sane to haz + Ings.

        Moved to captaincy from Kane to haz probably my first real mistake of the season

  13. MartialMatas

    Not sure where to use a free transfer

    a - Downgrade Fabianski
    b - Hojberg to a different 5th mid
    c - Hazard to Sterling

    Guaita

      50/50, if 0.1m is that important...

  15. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Bought Doherty at 4.4, tempting to cash in for Jonny. Or is he a season-keeper if you got at that price?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      5 shots on target more than next nearest defender (14)

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably is if you bought him at that price, I'm possibly losing him this week but only got him at 4.9 so makes it a much easier decision in that regard.

      Not sure if I was you and trading him out that I would get another Wolves player in though.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years

      Def season keeper at that price. I got him at 4.8 but he's still a keeper for me... Jonny not shown enough to consider a downgrade.

    Dear Community,
    I would like to apologise for calling a fellow poster out, even if it was in a tongue-in-cheek way, on their negative behaviour.
    Whilst in the cyberspace hole I had time to reflect on my actions and now know that there is no place for this type of behaviour in the realms of modern FFS. In future I will keep opinions that deviate from the herd, and ones that might attact the attention of the alert mods, to myself.
    Best Regards,
    Jia you

    1. Deulofail

        A question on that league actually mate: Is Salah allowed on FH?

    Out of 10, where would you rank Son to Salah for free if captaining this week?
    Guess Kane/Hazard would be captain otherwise.

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

      8.8. Coming from a Son owner and Salah non owner

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Could be the famous last words of a Salah non-owner, but isn't Son in better form than Salah right now? Also Brighton are no pushovers at home, and who is going to stop Son? Phil Jones? 😆

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I've sold Son too and am a little bit worried that he'll give a double digit last hurrah before he jets off! But like the dog for christmas, transfers are not just for one GW!

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I should've heeded that advice when I got Lacazette for a two week 'rental', for a hit!

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Lacazette one of most diabolical trades I've made all season

            1. Pierce34
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              I had him for months until I sold him two weeks ago - then I inexplicably got him back for Rashford 😆

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I hv OR 40 rn. Yes I might captaining Salah this week.

    4. Chilavert
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      9/10. transferring Son out this week will allow you more flexibility on your free transfer next week. who will you sacrifice to fund the move? martial?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        1. Chilavert
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          i would do it.
          im planning to do Martial > Salah. which one do u think is better to fund the move.
          A. son > 6.0
          B. auba > 8.7

    6. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      In your situation having the advantage of 2 FTs banked for next week and Son leaving for a few GWs, rather than burning your FT doing a somewhat unnecessary move with it - 8/10 (wouldnt captain him this week though if I owned him)

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years

    1. Thinkering like a Boss

      Looking good but Anderson > Bernardo Silva?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Silva is a water carrier. Anderson 2 points more than Hazard and 21 more than Rich last week 10 games. Why so many suggest selling him. Great value

  27. Gharvey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    WC activated and wondering if I buy a player then sell him then decide I want him back, will I effectively lose money on buying him twice while WC still open?

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If he's more expensive now than when you originally bought him, then yes, you lose money if you sell and buy back.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      if you press confirm, then yes.

      1. Gharvey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        So the usual 0.1 buy/sell penalty doesn’t apply during WC?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Say you got Pogba cheaper, sold on WC, then got back on WC, you pay the highest price,

    3. jia you
