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.

    I’ve got Salah as VC replacing KDB.

    Is it too much to ask for 1 goal.

      Looks like it

    Y or N:
    Cancelo or Stones -> Tierney?
    Gundo -> Lingard?
    DCL -> Antonio?
    All 3 for -4 ?

        I don't have a brother, so biologically that makes it impossible for you to be my brother.

        I also don't use drugs or synthetic imitation ones.

        Your comment is however more entertaining than this match!

    Is there a player worse than Thiago in the premier league? Please name a few

    1. M2.0

      Joelinton

        As a Newcastle fan, I second this

    2. Je suis le chat

      It seems topical to bash Tiago, can't be that bad. How about Kepa?

    Was happy when I saw Salah starting, did he get injured in the warm up or something? He's invisible... FPL is dead

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years

      I think the pl is dead. It just doesn't have the urgency or unpredictability without the fans. Every game feels the same.

        Even Spurs vs Ars?

    I'm putting Semedo on my watchlist as a late season differential.

      9 pts still possible with C Salah and Jota!

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d much rather Hendo or Keita over Thiago in this team. Wins 0 50/50’s, has no presence and can’t make a pass over 5 yards. Klopp going to have to accept he’s just not a good fit

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      What on earth happened to Liverpool. It really is astonishing. Also I seem to become annoyed each time I see Thiago.

        can't win the league, so they don't care.

      Great goal. Nothing better than punching this useless team looking to 0-0 every damn half in stoppage time.

          Yes before the game? Look at my post earlier.. what do you want me to call it after the game.. jeez

      Salah too unselfish for owners.

      In other news I bought Jota 🙂

        ...in my draft team but whatever...

    18. SH1M1

      Imagine still owning Salah

      1. McSauce

        He is my Captain! Not pleasant

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Should have captained Jota over him, yes.

    19. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will Jota play if Firmino is fit?

      1. djman102
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        In his first stint pre-injury, Jota started games in each of the front 3 positions, plus a couple in midfield with Salah/Mane/Firmino, so I would expect him to play most games somewhere.

      If only Jota hadn't got injured, he would be my pick for best transfer from last summer by far
