Monitor – Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang

Step away from the keyboard

I fear how that will end mate, maybe 37 @che is the only time to dump

After you

32 points vs bou incoming

Genuinely considering it. WC next week, but 2 extra fixtures would be nice

Ok.. if Liv beat City.. then surely Salah gets rested in 1-2 PL games

Last GW Salah scored the same # of points as Eriksen has scored in the past seven GWs.

People getting too emotional.. This is a prediction game and you are predicting more points for Salah in 5 games vs Eriksen's 7 games.. that fine.. I'm just saying its not a given

I agree with Pras, it’s worthy of consideration, especially for chasers. Need to consider how many times you will captain Salah over that period too. Probably not in 34, 36 or 37

Ok so here is the comparison (applies to those with FH and WC 33) and assuming Ben C's schedule:

GW 32 - Salah (wat)
GW 33 - Eriksen (stk) instead of Salah (eve)
GW 34 - Eriksen (bha and MCI) instead of Salah (vs BOU)
GW 35 - Salah (wba)
GW 36 - Eriksen (WAT) instead of Salah (STK)
GW37 - Eriksen (wba and NEW) instead of Salah (che)
GW38 - Eriksen (LEI) instead of Salah (BHA)

I definitely want to plan for this, but there's no way I'm getting rid of Salah before GW34. Ideally Salah > Hazard would be the final piece of the puzzle to get 11 or 15 DGW players for GW34. It's a convenient transfer as Hazard could be the captain in GW34 and GW37. Their price is the same and would make the reverse transfer possible. It's a transfer that you don't have to pull the trigger on. Hazard is more of a luxury than a must, so you can just use your FT for GW34 differently if it's not appealing to lose Salah.

I reckon it’s a great idea. Go for it

Salah's going nowhere!

The only problem which I have with this scenario is Bournemouth in GW 34. Rest of your argumenation is quite reasonable

I'm selling him week 34.
Will mean getting 2 decent doublers. As in, 1 man city and groß for my bench boost.
Then, FH him in 35, get another doubler 37 and use the savings for Auba to Kane 37 too

I think that if Eriksen was captain material then yes,but he isn't and Salah is
I would sold Salah only for someone that I can comfortably captain

Which imbecile chose the blend word for this hot topic!

Why is this a hot topic?!

Just a ridiculous question

Dubious HT material...

Had them both, and Kane, Aguero, Son, before the blank. Not difficult to get both again. Personally I've been underwhelmed by CE this season. Owned for two spells and missed out on most of his hauls. With Kane out I'm tempted by the Alli Son double up. Alli put in some excellent performances when Kane was out last season.

Replace Eriksen with Alli or even Son ignorance you don’t have him.

Question is not if CE is the one, but rather can we do without Salah from GW34 onwards and possibly get him back GW38

Captaincy.

Salah is probably going to be the standout captain in 32, 33, 36 & 38. Not captaining him is bad enough when he hauls, imagine not having him at all. Huge red arrows.

And not to forget you're gonna need a whole IKEA of sofas in order to watch Liverpool games.

Definately an option if 37 is the chunkiest dgw!

I've used the TC, so im guessing ill be tempted to remove salah come 37 if thats the biggest DGW. I'd go WC32-FH34-BB37. Carry Salah 32-36 and bring him back for 38 if there isnt more pressing issues. Salah plays CFC away in 37 🙂

Yes I am definitely considering it, but for DGW37 when Pool has Chelsea away.

Will probably ditch on FH37 but keep for every other week

No. Just no. Stop overthinking it.

I sold Salah to get Auba(C）in GW30. FH Salah back in for his captaincy haul last week. It helped me to climb 400k+ places so it has worked out thus far haha, of course at my rank to say that I was chasing is an understatement.
Eriksen punt over Salah for a 7 v 5 game scenario could be great for those chasing and not planning on captaining Salah in some of the games! Not as crazy as many seem to think! Why not play a high risk game if you are well behind, it is team and/or ML dependant.
Managers laughing off the idea are just being petty.

Looking at getting Erik in addition to Salah. Salah is locked in for the next 5 games

No. Definitely not. Not even slightly.

Also seeing as no one has done this calculation, just look at their ppm this season:

- Eriksen 5.3ppm x 7 matches = 37 points

- Salah 8.9ppm x 5 matches = 45 points

Simple. Plus you’d captain Salah and not Eriksen.

Salah has way to high an ownership considering I am competing mostly with casuals (in the OR league as well as my ML). So, currently, not even thinking about it.

But this could be a massive move. Could push you from 10-20k up to within 1k or back to above 100k.

why this is hot topic???

Removing him in the spell of 32-37 is not madness, but it is risky due to captaincy and ownership. And I dont think its as easy as stated with just comparing salah with eriksen (if thats) the one your bringing in.

If you remove him you have to put all the players on your team in the same pricebracket under the same scrutiny as Eriksen.
Let's say your selling value with Salah is 9.8-10.0 and you want to punt on something like:
Son, Erik, Haz, Mahrez, Kenedy
Lukaku, Auba
You'd at least need to be confident that:
- Mahrez and the extra mill is worth not having salah
- Son and extra 1,5 is worth it
- Eriksen needs to outscore Salah
- Haz needs to outscore Salah and the extra 0.5-1.0 shouldnt cost you points elsewhere.
- Same with Kaku
- Same with Auba

With Salah's ppg your prob doomed to get some of these judgements wrong but at the same time your more likely to have a player that could prove a massive differential bein able to select "punts" like eriksen and Hazard.

Might use a FT for GW34 Salah to Haz. FH35. That way Haz has 5 fixtures to Salah's 3 - GW34, GW36, GW37.

Haz - Sou, Bur, Swa, Liv, Hud
Salah - Bou, Stoke, Che

Hazard is definitely capable of outscoring Salah in this scenario. Salah might be rested around champs league also.

High risk, high reward. If Haz does outscore Salah then I gain on almost everybody.

Would miss 34 & 36 -- Bou (H) & Sto (H) .. could easily score a hat-trick in both fixtures.

With every man and his dog captaining or triple captaining Kane in 37 it’s the ideal game week to bring in a player with a double gameweek for Salah, and then bring back Salah for 38. Pretty good idea really but I am not sure that you would want to do it earlier than that for one extra game in 34
