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.

    From Ben Crellin:
    Everton - Villa now unlikely to move to GW30 or GW31 due to latest fixture amendments. He now considers midweek GW35 or GW37 as the most likely.

    DCL -> Antonio for GW29 it is for me then

      May do this myself.

      My 3 Everton hold looks even more stupid now

        +1. My cunning Everton plan up in flames with everything else this nightmare season.

      "Now" unlikely? It was never likely, same as his "65% chance" DGW28 was never likely.

      Despite leading his followers down one rabbit hole after another it still seems Guru Crellin can do no wrong for them. 🙄

      Mind you, to admit that the Emperor has no clothes also means admitting that you were deluded in the first place. Easier to just continue to believe in his pronouncements no matter what, eh?

        Hehe, guess you have a point there but as the way I look at it , this is only a silly game after all, and being quite clueless myself, instead of spending too much time digging into all kind of analyses, I choose to play dullard and use a few sources like FFS, FPL Scout and Ben Crellin. Worst that can happen, I'll end up below OR 1m again

      Good thing about this is that I can use GW30 FT to get a Chelsea defender or Mendy

      He faces CP at home in gw 30. I won't be getting rid of Rich before that game.

      When you said "all aboard" it came to my mind the 90's techno song "The Nightrain" by Kadoc.

      3 years, 14 days ago

      FH this week, WC 30, TC save for the best available time (is there even another dgw? Eventually perhaps?), and BB whenever.

      1. Torres76
        • 14 Years

        Cheers pal. Thanks for the help..

  6. Je suis le chat

    If City win the CL, would the pool qualify for next season from 5th in the league? Asking for a friend (tall German with great teeth).

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      If Spurs win the Europa, and Pool win the CL... and both finish outside the top 4 - do 6 teams go into CL next year?

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        No, think it's a max 5 so intjat instance 4th place loses their spot

    2. Torres76
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Don’t need the help, going to win the Champs League.

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Yes, unless Arsenal or Spurs wins the EL. Think it's maximum 5 to qualify from England

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        So if City win UCL or United win Europa League 5th will go through?

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 14 days ago

          Yes, I think so

        2. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 14 days ago

          No, I'm wrong. Only way 5 go through is if the 5th team win CL or EL

        Very strange, but it's pretty quiet here. Usually even when a big differential scores, a lot of people seem to login and celebrate.

          Finally a differential that does well for me!!! Enjoy 🙂

    What was that stat? Did they say Wolves haven’t scored in the first half since promotion? That can’t be true.

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      they scored 2 in 5 minutes vs Sheffield united in September

  10. Stupendous

    News on Bamford or Son?

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

      Great American sitcom back in the 70s. Redd Foxx was hilarious...

      oh, wait...no new injury news that I've heard today.

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Pretty close tbf haha!

      Let me rephrase...

      Is there any news on the injury status of Patrick Bamford and Heung-Min Son?

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Bring in 11 players that aren't injured and have a game to play in GW29

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      same

    3. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      no matter how carefully you plan to use it outcome is always the same, I have FH and TC and don't know how to waste them.

    2. Dthinger

      Nice call

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        nope, just trying to make people hate fpl even more

  15. tbos83
    • 3 Years

    Who would win a fight out of Traore and Antonio?

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Traore wouldn't land many of his shots.

      1. tbos83

        3 years, 14 days ago

        *applauds*

    2. richarlison2348
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Traore, Antonio's hamstring would go with his first punch

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Would end up in man love.

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      It would be a mutual forfeit in the second round, both fighters having done their hamstrings.

    5. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …

      For a boing mathc its Antonio who will use long arms for points

    6. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Key info required, is Traore allowed to do the baby oil thing?

  16. Says
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Joe O'Moutín and Joe O'Cancel should be breaking from the Wolves and City teams into the Irish national squad any day now

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      many will to make space for kdb in midfield with gundogan

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      I'm gonna drop all City defence. If you only own one, I doubt you'll even want them to keep a clean sheet.

    3. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      100% since I don't own Ederson and Dias. I would keep both if I did.

      One of Stones and Cancelo is gone for me. Triple Chelsea likely.

      1. Says
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Same, it was Cancelo for me, the clue was in the name.

    4. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Makes sense, cheers all.

    5. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Think so, but hard to call between Dias and Stones. Former more nailed, latter better value and goal threat

  18. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years

    Never seen someone slide tackle whilst on the spot

  19. Don Kloppeone

  20. Gazwaz80

    Up to 73 points with that Jota goal, one of those weeks where almost everything falls into place 🙂

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Jota the only thing that worked for me. Captained Werner. Had Mahrez and Gundogan with two 1pointers first and second sub and a 6 pointer third sub.

      1. Gazwaz80

      opposite for me. 38 points all out, 2 players injured coming in with 1 pointers

  21. Drogo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Ive given up the hopes of getting more than 2 points from Robertson. So I am gonna jinx by saying that this is his 2 game in 12 matches that he gets > 2 points.
