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.

    What do we think DCL > ings -4?

      Finally, someone is thinking what I want to do! I'm going for it. GL

        Username more than checks out - Has RH has a presser yet? Anything from that ?

        1. Muller Reus Corner
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yep, I believe so. He said Ings is in for contention and he should start.

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      No

        Why’s that ?

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not for hit and think DCL still have good value

  2. Sun God Nika

    What do you guys think about making werner captain against Everton def?

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you don't have Salah, then yes

  3. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking Bruno out . Omg I'm going insane

    1. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Step away Fudgy, you don’t want to be punished

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I know you are right

    2. AnfieldLad
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m currently deciding between Bruno and DCL out for a hit, or KDB out. FPL is mad this year

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I've never struggled like this for a transfer

        1. AnfieldLad
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          On paper Salah easily outperforms Bruno this week. Captaincy is the most important thing in the game. Just do it, it could backfire but equally it could hurt by not doing it.

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            It's Bruno and DCL to Watkins and Salah or Son and Kane to Salah and Ings.

            Think I'm going to reluctantly go for the latter

            1. Sean
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              First one is 100% the better option imo, think watkins is on a par with DCL for the next few and Salah is a better option than Bruno.

              1. Fudgy
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                I've gone with the 2nd lol

                1. Sean
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Best of luck, they'll probably all return anyway!

      2. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        A little risky for sure, but I think I'm doing:

        This week
        Bruno -> Salah (c)
        DCL -> Bamford
        (-4)

        Next week
        Jota -> Bruno
        Werner -> Watkins
        (-4)

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Thinking very similar

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      if it's for Salah, what's the issue?

      Goalscorer odds:

      Anytime: Salah (4/6) vs Bruno (5/2)
      2+: Salah (10/3) vs Bruno (18/1)
      Hattrick: Salah (10/1) vs Bruno (150/1)

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Just long term Bruno can match Salah

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Probably will. It's tough juggling these premiums for sure.

  4. Muller Reus Corner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    With Hamez out, surely it's time to transfer DCL out and get ahead of the curve?

    1. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think he benefits most from Richarlison’s runs.

      Of course Hames out is still a blow

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks.

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Digne, Coleman and Hames out is going to be issue with these fixtures. Richarlison is important for him, but simply not enough alone or with Siggy.

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

      Not necessarily

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. I thought he would miss the delivery of Digne but ticking over.

  5. Captain Vantastic™
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do Bruno Vardy and Jota to Salah Grealish and Watkins for -8?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too many hits. Can you do Jota to Grealish for free

      1. Captain Vantastic™
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nope 0 ITB and I need Salah.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If you need him then you may as well take the -8

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

    3. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is Jota out?

      How about Bruno to Salah and Vardy to Ings for a -4 instead?

      1. Captain Vantastic™
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Jota has a knock plus I'd want Grealish next week anyway. So shouldn't I just get him now? I have nobody on the bench to play if Jota is out.

  6. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy, Sterling & Jota
    to Bamford, Salah & Son for -8?

    Or just Sterling to Son for free for now?

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe do Vardy and Sterling to Ings and Salah

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would just hold those transfers. Sterling only worth getting rid of for Salah imo

    3. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Do it Kaptain. Thoughts above?

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks again, sure I’ll take a look

    4. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm telling u sterling is outscoring son these next few games

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        How can you be sure he starts though

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I know that's a worry but Sterling will get a hattrick Vs West Brom if he starts, it's tailor made for him

        2. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He has 8 starts in 10 this season, one of which was injury enforced and another that has been a consistent trend for the past 4 seasons. You can never be sure but either way...

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I did Vardy/Jota/Kilman > Bamford/Salah/Ferguson (-8), so wouldn't necessarily say no.

      Not sure it'll pay off but had prices & long term in mind.

  7. fplfansss
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    GTG?
    McCarthy
    Robbo, Justin, Chilwell
    Salah, Son, Klich, Grealish
    DCL, Kane, Bamford
    Subs: Button, Cancelo, Stephens, Mitchell

  8. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think Alisson starts straightaway?

  9. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A) KDB, Kane, BIssouma
    B) Mahrez, Kane, Grealish

    Which combination best for the long term?

    1. yanky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      b because grealish needs to be in

    2. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry you need to try get KDB AND Grealish imo

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        So forgo Grealish?

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry I meant forgo Kane?

  10. yanky
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    have son and kane
    a) son > mane for free
    b) son cresswell > salah dallas -4pts hit

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep Son

  11. kime67
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    so what will west ham do now with masuaku out? good for bmford owners?

  12. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who to start peeps?

    A) Targett (Wol)
    B) Dias (Mun)

  13. tbs91
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cancelo, Justin, Lamptey and Coufal.
    Which two would you bench and in what order?

    1. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lamptey and Coufal. In that order.
      Think both LEI and LEE will score, but Lamptey is a greater threat going forward

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bench Coufal and Lamptey in that order

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should have sold Jota for 8pt but for Salah looks like he won't play after all 🙁

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      why did you buy jota

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why is it looking likely he won’t start?

    3. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      433 is the best formation for liverpool and jota is not part of that

  15. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Dallas or Lamptey on WC?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dallas

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Dallas

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years

      Dallas

  16. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can't believe I actually did Ziyech to Jota this week...
    Such a waste of an FT

  17. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Dias to keep a CS or play Coufal? DCL to score or play Soucek?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Play Dias and DCL

  18. Dion D's Solo Shower
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    DCL + Ziyech --> Werner & Raphinha (-4) a cheeky option?
    Looking for differentials in my ML, these two certainly are

  19. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    With Jota on the fence to start does, do we reckon that boosts a more likely start for Salah?

    Apologies if already been talked about.

    1. yanky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      really unsure, most i think assume he starts but is a risk for 60-70 min only. im debating bringing in mane for free or salah for a 4 pt hit

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ahh ok, well I was always pretty certain he starts anyway, especially with Jota looking a doubt, definite captain for me. I wouldn’t go Mane personally

    2. Party time
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Salah was gonna start regardless. I don’t think he will play 90 mins

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Very true, and agreed 🙂

      • Sean
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Only catching up on it now, seems to me like Salah nailed for 70 if the game is won by then, 90 if it isnt

      Mahrez and Kane to Salah(c) and Wilson worth a hit?

      1. yanky
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i dont think taking out kane for a hit is wise, although im debating doing it with son hahah i can either do a) son > mane for free or b) son cresswell > salah dallas for a hit

      2. FATGFC
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Long term because of Mahrez rotation, yes.
        Personally don't like losing Kane though.

          Yeah, Mahrez is the one I was leaning toward but then I saw the news on Jota being a doubt. Thanks!
