Salah most-sold and third-most captained FPL asset for Gameweek 28

All Fantasy Premier League eyes are on Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) at Wolves tonight.

The Liverpool midfielder has been a divisive figure in the community this week after blanking in each of his last four matches.

As a result, Salah was the most-sold Fantasy asset ahead of Gameweek 28, losing more than 500,000 owners before Friday evening’s deadline.

However, following a decent Champions League display last week, Salah is also the third-most captained player for Gameweek 28, backed by over 800,000 armbands.

The Egyptian’s away form could be a factor in that decision too. No FPL midfielder has found the net more often on the road this season than Salah (10), his last three away matches producing three goals and 25 points (8.3 points per game.

Salah will be helped in attack by another start at centre-forward for Diogo Jota (£6.6m), who returns to his former club tonight.

Sadio Mané (£11.8m) joins the pair in Liverpool’s front-three but is still owned by just 4.9% of Fantasy managers, Gameweek 20 the last time he produced a goal or assist in the Premier League.

Andrew Robertson (£7.2m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) start at left and right-back respectively, either side of Ozan Kabak (£5.0m) and Nathaniel Phillips (£4.0m).

That centre-back pairing allows Fabinho (£5.4m) to return to central midfield, a tactical tweak that could bring out the best of Liverpool’s forward line.

Meanwhile, Wolves line-up in 3-4-3 formation with Pedro Neto (£5.7m), Willian José (£6.9m) and Adama Traoré (£6.0m) in attack.

Gameweek 28 Line-ups

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Semedo; Neto, Willian J, A Traoré.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Kabak, N Phillips, Alexander-Arnold; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Mané, Jota, Salah.

    Swear Thiago spends more time kicking his opponents than the ball

            Does mocking dead people on the internet make you feel like a big person? Because it makes you look like scum.

              What? Mocking dead people? What are you smoking?

                I suggest you do a little research into what your talking about.

                  I know what I'm talking about.

                  Know who invented that phrase? Everton fans. And if anyone would know it would be them.

                    You're referencing the death of 96 people and the subsequent injustice of being blamed for their own death which took 26 years and an act of parliament to rectify. Please be aware of what you say or else you may come across as complete scum.

                      You don't get out of this by accusing me of mocking the dead because what I'm referencing is the victim mindset that Liverpool FC and fans have evidenced over a whole host of issues over many years. For example Klopp's incessant bleating about fixture scheduling and injuries and on and on this season alone.

                      If you really want to discuss Hillsborough go ahead, I'm game. Just as long as we discuss Heysel at the same time - an event where Liverpool also claimed to be the victims, in that case because the riot was caused by Chelsea fans masquerading as Liverpool supporters according to the Liverpool FC chairman at the time. 🙄

                      There has never been such a whiny club as Liverpool in all the time I have been watching football. Sounds like you are well suited to supporting them.

                        • 7 Years

                        I'm not trying to get out of anything, I'm only trying to make you aware of what you're referring to when you use the "always the victim" line. I'll assume you have never been to or met anyone from Liverpool which is how you're able to speak with such ignorance. I'm sure you're not a nasty person in real life but that is how you come across when you latch onto slurs on the internet which you don't understand.

                      2. Ruth_NZ
                        • 9 Years
                        3 years, 1 month ago

                        You made the specific association to Hillsborough, not me. I used the phrase generally and there are plenty examples of it, I noted some already. Dalglish and the support of the racism of Suarez was another that deserves a mention. How about the vile Munich songs, are you so indignant about them?

                        The exoneration of the 96 that died has been conveniently shaped into a blanket exoneration of Liverpool fans on that day. The Hillsborough campaign blamed everyone - the police, the stewards, the ground, the local authorities - but never once acknowledged the culpability of the mass of Liverpool fans that DELIBERATELY arrived late at the gate with the intention of creating a crush in order to bunk in for free and then piled into the terraces, causing the carnage at the front. That kind of behaviour was very common in those days and Liverpool fans were master exponents of it, many used to boast of never having paid to get into a game in their life.

                        So don't lecture to me about Hillsborough. The 96 that died were innocent victims and none of the authorities involved were blameless but they were also, in part, innocent victims of fellow Liverpool supporters. I have never seen that acknowledged by the club or the campaign groups. Hence "AlwaysTheVictimNeverAtFault". A phrase coined by Everton fans who live in the same City, went to the same schools and often drink at the same pubs. Who would know better than them?

    Mane and Traore are both horrid in the box

    Mane refuses to fall to deny Salah a penalty.

  4. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mane's foot literally grabbed by Patricio, still doesn't go down as that might give Salah a pen

    • JONALDINHO

      Klopp should let Mane take the pens if he wins them. He would’ve had 4/5 over the last few games

        It's ludicrous. I mean it's not like he's top scorer in the league this season or anything

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          And only 73 in the 3 previous seasons.

          He’s basically a centre back

            3 years, 1 month ago

            Even if it does, it’s still a ballsy choice to make based on his form, will be typical Salah for it to come from a pen

            1. Biggsy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              For me, given Bruno and Kane's scores, my Salah(c) isn't going to be any worse than if I'd chosen an alternative

              (assuming no RC....)
