Where FFS career Hall of Fame leader stands on Gameweek 12 Salah debate

Fantasy Premier League managers are faced with some big decisions in Gameweek 12 as premium assets are delivering across the board and causing big swings in overall rankings.

Despite only three players blanking and a total of 66 points, I still got my fourth red arrow of the season in Gameweek 11. Not having Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m), Mohamed Salah (£12.3m), Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) really hurt my chances of having a good round and I think I was fairly lucky to only have fallen 10,000 places in the overall rankings and to still be inside the top 30k.

    Folks, would you do, Robbo + Jota-> Salah + 4.4 def(Alioski) for a -4?

    Not ideal losing Robertson but not many ways to get Salah.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldnt

    3. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I definitely would

    4. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would, I am planning -8 robbo ziyech dcl to coufal salah adams in order not to loose vardy this week.

    Bruno to Salah for -4?

    Y or N

    Ta

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Tough call innit. If you don't have many other cap options then it would make sense.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I did KDB to Salah for -4 so Y

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      N

    4. Oliver Tockman
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No

    5. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No for me

    6. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years

      No

      1. wycombewanderers

        Ta all. May hold and captain bamford then. Bold

      • 14 Years

      I wonder how many people who are saying no already have Salah

      You can't have them all and those who have their teams look awful . I probably am doing this

  3. Johnny too hotty

    oh dear oh dear... already made transfers and now Jota is a doubt. FML

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I shot myself in the foot here with a rookie error forgetting mid week games

      1. Johnny too hotty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        in our defence Klop moaned about the fixtures yet in a game that was meaningless he played Jota and Salah.
        Perhaps he should shut him mouth in future as hes shot himself and us in the foot. I blame Klopp. DO you think there is a chance Jota starts? he didnt start last prem game

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I really don't understand why they both played 90mins. Absolutely pointless.

          Well if he's got a knock that throws even more doubt. I'm a Jota owner, bought him in this week so I'm annoyed I've put myself in this position to be honest.

        2. claretparrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Jota's got a knock, which could have happened in training even if he'd played 0 mins midweek. Early transfers are always a risk - you can't blame anyone else when they backfire

          1. Johnny too hotty
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            PLease allow us to blame Klopp? the injury was picked up in the game... we must blame Klopp! 😉

            Obv i am annoyed with myself too. Ive already taken a -4 so I think the right thing to do is pray he plays, failing that coufal comes on for 1 point?

            1. claretparrot
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah 100% keep him and start him. Klopp didn't make it sound like he stands no chance

          2. Amartey Partey
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I remember towards the end of the game he got tackled hard and looked a bit hurt. I think it was from there.

            1. claretparrot
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Yes. Klopp also said the injury happened in the game, but that's not the point I was making

        3. sambyy
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I mean Jota is not a first choice player to start with so who else should he start in a "meaningless game"?

    2. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He was always likely to start on the bench...now he definitely will

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        In a way, this could be better for folks who have a strong bench.......as Jota is less likely to make a cameo appearance

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It helps me because I had to choose between him and Bamford.

  4. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    The feeling when you managed to get Salah while keeping Kane and Son.

    ...bye bye KDB.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bad choice. id sell kane.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        And have the same mid as everyone else. Not my style.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kane owned by more than kdb Lol

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Yep. And I own Kane since GW1 lol

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Hats not the point. If your style is being different than selling kane and or son makes more sense

              Kdb the least owned among premium picks

        2. claretparrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          At the end of last week, only 1% of the game and 2-3% of the top 10k had Mo, KDB and Bruno

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      What about next week? Or will you live without him vs WBA?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Next week I'll be getting bruno (c) for Barkley.

        Here's hoping KDB benched vs WBA

            We'll see

    3. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years

      Would Kdb all day..

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah nothing's wrong with that

    4. Johnny too hotty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      wow.. sell KDB!!!! enjoy plummeting those ranks

      1. Flair

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        That's what you think. Check my OR in 3 GWs will ya.

        1. Johnny too hotty
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I would do but its hard to see that far down the rankings from where I am sir!

    Mcarthey steer*

    To

    Really want salah in.x

    1. BremerHB
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No way I would WC to that defence.. If you really want Salah then do Ziyech & Kane to Salah & Watkins/Wilson/Bamford..

      1. jdogg
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Then i still have an even worse defence and an injured jota.x

  6. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Probably doing Kane+Jota to Salah+6-7m forward. Best choice?

    A) Watkins wol BUR wba CPL
    B) Adams SHU ars MCI ful
    C) Wilson WBA lee FUL mci (Covid impact unknown)

    A outstats B but recent fix harder for Saints and no Ings etc. Would hopefully get Antonio long term.

  7. OptimusBlack

    For Difference Manè & Watinks instead of Salah and Wilson ?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

  8. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years

    Absolutely nowhere to hide for jota owners

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Take a walk imo! I own and needed an excuse to move someone to get Salah tbh. Would have no issue keeping normally

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thoroughly punished

    2. Johnny too hotty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      so true and im one of them. Im hurting inside.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Me as well.

        Jumped on the bandwagon as the wheels were falling off.

        Realistically now it’s an 8 point hit to get Salah without selling one of KdB or Bruno, neither of which I want to sell.

        May just keep him this week and hope he gets some minutes on Sunday and scores.

        My rank is crap anyway so another red arrow won’t make much difference anymore.

  9. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Start Lamptey or Charlie Taylor?

    1. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years

      Lamptey

      1. Dirty Harry

  10. The Final Boss

    Guys got less replies, what would you do,

    A) vardy ziyech to watkins salah -4
    B) dcl robbo ziyech to watkins salah balbuena -8?
    C) dcl robbo ziyech to adams salah coufal -8?

    B and C will allow me to keep vardy which my rivals all got.

    A will allow me to keep Robbo which my rivals haven't got.

    It's a decision of going safe with vardy or take a chance without him

    1. weaver93

      A

  11. McPollolocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Have these defenders:
    Coufal, Telles, James, Targett, Lamptey
    would like to play 3 defense. Which players should I use?

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      James, Coufal, Lamptey

    2. BremerHB
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      James, Targett & Lamptey

  12. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    So Mo is starting then eh.

  13. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    My only route to Salah is DCL and Fernandes to Bamford and Salah for -4. Impossible decision

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Id do it

    2. Footieboot
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You will want Bruno back next week. No other way to bring Salah?

  14. fplfansss
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who to captain?
    A. Son
    B. Kane
    C. Salah
    D. DCL

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah (C) Kane (VC)

  15. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Attempt #2

    Anything you'd change from this wildcard draft? 0.1itb

    McCarthy Button
    James Robbo Dallas Konsa Balbuena
    Grealish KdB Salah Bruno Soucek
    DCL Bamford Davis(fodder)

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah KDB Son Bruno Grealish has to be the midfield you build the team around.

      1. Miniboss
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        not much left to invest elsewhere after that midfield

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        If it was that easy to build everyone would have it.

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It is when you’re on a WC.

  16. SoShy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Worth a -4 or just do one

    Werner to Kane
    Sterling to Salah

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd just do Sterling to Salah. Werner is playing against Pickford so all he needs is a shot on target.

      1. SoShy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Fair point

    • nadman89
      • 12 Years

      thinking of going with mane + salah +robbo on WC am i crazy ? think mane would be the safe (C) too

      1. Pitch Perfect
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Is Salah not safe?

        1. nadman89
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          mane and salah both have the chance of getting the same points but mane didnt play midweek

      2. Kloppcorn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

    • Kloppcorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Could do with some help, which of these 3 should I go for?
      A: Kane, Jota (Already have)
      B: Son, Cavani
      C: Fernandes, Giroud

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same answer as previous page

    • JamieC180
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Best Jota replacement? 7 mil max.

      I guess no replacement at aĺl is an option too

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ward Prose

      2. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bench him and maybe improve a defender?

      3. Pitch Perfect
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ward-Prowse?

      Think I'm resigned to not getting Salah this week, do I cut my losses with Abraham and get Bamford like I should have done in the first place?

      Jota to Pulisic (-4)?

      1. Oliver Tockman
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No. Pulisic still an injury risk

      2. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No

      Martinez
      James / Dier / Justin
      Salah (c) / KDB / Bruno / Mahrez
      Kane / Bamford / Watkins
      Subs: Vestergaard / Romeo / Coufal

      I really want Vestergaard in the starting lineup to be honest, but I don’t know who to take out…

        Watkins if you have to, but I probably would leave Jan on the bench

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Vestergaard over Justin.
