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.

    Let's keep it nice on here, no "nowhere to hide's" or "epic fails"

      Nowhere to hide as top comment

      That's mild banter which is surely ok. Celebrating injuries is different.

    Salah hat trick...got to be

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No doubt, congrats to all Salah owners. I'm not one of them though but fully expect a Salah haul

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        It's the way of FPL...it is known

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No risk, he is my Captain.

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Excited for my red arrow tonight !

  4. Salan
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Have a feeling that Liverpool may have a big win tonight, against the odds.

  5. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Average score for my captain this season is 7,2
    Could be worse and could be better

    1. Napoleon IV
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      what a splendid piece of analysis!

    2. oshsan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If I had captained my VC instead each week I’d be 103 points better off. Exactly the difference between me and top 100 OR (currently 16k ish)

    Is it not really worrying that Jiminez has been out this long after a head impact injury?

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He'll be really lucky if he ever plays again tbh. Considering how much of his goal scoring would involve heading the ball, I don't see how it'll work. At least with Cech he didn't have to put his head in harms way much.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Chivu as a centre half played with a scrum cap for years.

        I still reckon he'll play again before Grealish does.

      2. Isca Extremadura
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Agree with you.. even if FA grant permission for him
        to wear protective hardware, how will that work after a fractured skull..

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He fractured his skull. That takes a while to fix itself . . if it does.

  7. Easy Cheesy

    I don’t get ppl buying dunk. Brighton have two good games left so surely veltman at £0.6m cheaper for 29 and 33 and then he stays on the bench?

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm only buying dunk for the blank gw29 (with 2ft) then he changes to azpi/rudiger in gw30. He does carry a slightly higher goal threat.

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bought him last week and played him this week for Lowton in prep for GW29.

      Many will do the same as WC GW31.

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

      Dunk will be a short term punt for me, WC out in 31, I'm sure many others are the same

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      WC out in 31- only want for week 29 game

  8. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Would you take a hit for one more BGW player?

    A) Gross/Trossard (NEW)
    B) Auba (whu) + Dunk (NEW) (-4)

  9. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Please Jota, any return will do....

  10. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Same team tonight that played against RB Leipzig last week.

    Same 2-0 result with the same scorers would be ideal for tonight too please.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1-0 wolves it is then

  11. Athletico Underachieving
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Only me and one other in my ML still have Salah. Unfortunately, the other person is top and has captained him. Not even sure what I want to happen!

  12. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    As a Salah owner, but Bruno captainer, I don't think I'd swap my captain to Salah right now even if I could.

    Feel like he could bang a hattrick as my vice captain, but would be a guaranteed blank if he was my captain.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Us salah cappers appreciate that

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I do what I can.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        How many weeks have you been captaining Salah recently?

      3. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      2vs3 then really

  13. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Headwear # !

  14. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is Firmino injured?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes he is.

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He got no look tackled.

  15. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Predictions?
    I believe Wolves win 1-0 with:
    Willian Jose G
    Johnny A

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1-1

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1:2

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1-2 with Jota and Salah scoring . . Liverpool have a very good record against Wolves

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        They had very good record Vs Brighton Vs Fulham Vs Burnley Vs Leicester but they lost to all of them

  16. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah(c) - I suppose I’ll be content with just a brace

  17. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah fail

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      13 minutes in...

  18. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    best GK till the end of the season?
    Pope or Martinez or Ederson?

    1. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mendy

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        oh yes

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Why not Emi?

        1. gonzalocampos
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Look at their fixtures.

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mendy.

      But of those three I'd go Ederson if money no option.

  19. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salad feil

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Tossed salad.

  20. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Semedo is on fire. 18 pointer inbound

  21. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wolves looking most likely to score

  22. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Annoying that even if I hate transfer Salah out, he will come back and I'll have to sell him again.

  23. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Adama Traore has 23 shots and 39 chances created, without a single goal or assist 😯

    1. rick ding whoop

      Ferrari with a learner driver

  24. Vazza
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Liverpool likely to concede today?

  25. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Lubed up show pony with no end product !

  26. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do Mount to Lingard for a hit?
    I like Mount's fixtures after 29 tbh

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth it

  27. sentz05
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I’ve currently got 6 BGW players including Son and Bamford with 2FTs. Therefore, if Bamford is ok I’m looking at potentially 7 players. Should I take hits or is it not worth it?

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably is worth a hit or 2. Depends on your current team.

    2. Doctor Evil
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I took a -16 to get 10
      Players but I’m trying to stay top of my mini league and have a 40 point lead. For overall rank it’s probably not a great idea

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on who, but doubt it. I wouldn't for anyone I didn't see as having potential beyond 29. Don't get tunnel vision

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Same position
      No good answer

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mane has no confidence. What a wasted opportunity

  29. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mane is nowhere near his levels of last year

  30. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mane cant see Salah
