Mohamed Salah will once again be the key Fantasy Premier League asset to own among Liverpool’s ranks this season.

The Egyptian may have had a huge price hike to £13.0m for 2018/19 but his underlying attacking numbers suggest he deserves to be valued higher than any of his colleagues.

However, there are plenty of cheaper options to consider for our FPL squads too as Jurgen Klopp’s men have a particularly appealing start to the new season.

  1. Bad Kompany
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is Chalobah nailed? Think he's the best 4.5 option if he is but wouldn't be worth risking it if he isn't

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      no

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Well my team is ruined then.

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Expected to be nailed by Watford fans, I believe, and me. But it's a little early to say for sure

    3. Siggy in the Middle
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If he is, I'll go for him instead of Cairney. He started off great last season before his injury.

    4. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      currently he has just played first game in the U19 championship-will competing in this competition help or hinder his watford nailability?
      I'd suggest in the short term it might question it

      1. The_Adam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That's his younger brother in the U19's tournament.

    5. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all! Seems like he's likely to start but not fully nailed. Will see how they line up in pre season.

    6. JamTart
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Personally prefer Hughes but he's 0.5m more if you can find it?

  2. Foozeball
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How well do newly promoted teams usually do in their first few games of the season?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      From my dodgy memory they start off relatively well, then run out of steam half way through.

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      usually get off to a good start if they have easy fixtures, then go in a lull of draws, and then the defeats start rolling in

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      they uaually win a few draw a few lose a few

    4. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      According to Triggerlips, they difficult to play against for the first 6 weeks or so. The general assumption is that they are going to be on the back foot, adjusting to a new league, though it depends on the team. Wolves, for example, are expected to be the tightest, and most difficult opponent at both ends of the pitch (it seems), but some put that down to the bookies manipulating odds to make money.

      Basically, you can't really blanket promoted teams with a generalisation, so you should be wary of taking them for granted as easy opponents or of putting too much faith in the Championship's highest performers last year.

      Not really helpful, but not much more I can say 🙂

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        According to Triggerlips? Is he the Oracle or something?

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't want to comment

        2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          A reading from the book of Triggerlips

      2. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Remember the good ol' days when teams like Bolton and Barnsley got promoted... Spent a season getting slammed and went straight back down... A simpler time.

    5. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Usually a few games that surprise a bit, could see Cardiff doing Bournemouth, for example, then maybe beating Newcastle & Hud, then the pause, then the slide.

      1. Foozeball
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cardiff look very similar to Brighton last season. I expect them to be goal shy at the start. Fulham and Wolves winning their opening games wouldn't surprise me given their home advantage and who their opponents are

      2. Puncheon Guly
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Neil Warnock has a terrible record in the premier, so I have low expectations. Until he gets fired anyway

    6. Puncheon Guly
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fairly sure Huddersfield were joint top after 3 games last year. Something like that anyway

  3. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo scores higher?

    A- Tomkins + Mendy

    B- Mee + Cedric

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The one that costs £1m more

    For anyone worried about arnoitovic being sold, ignore it. It’s just rumours.

        You must try and stop thinking about men in shorts at night....

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          yeah 24hrs a day is too much

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, think of them without shorts.

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

            It keeps me up at night

  5. Siggy in the Middle
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How's this look for now?

    Ederson (Hamer)

    Robertson Bailly Cedric (Peltier Wan-Bisaka)

    Salah Mahrez Jota Walcott (Cairney)

    Aubameyang Firmino Wilson

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Looks pretty decent, I’m reasonably similar (No Salah tho) so maybe biased!

      Fab Bego
      Rob Bailly Bavies Sakho AWB
      Eriksen Mahrez Mané Cairney Ralls
      Auba Firm Wilson

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Very similar! Nice team but I'm not sure if Eriksen will start the first few games due to the World Cup. You might wanna keep an eye out for that. Not entirely sure about that Palace double up either.

        1. Majestic Chanka
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Wan B is bench fodder so it’s only really Sakho, if they don’t start well he’ll become an Arsenal or maybe cheap manu def (if shaw or Lindelof are playing).

          Yeah, lot of spurs played further so he may be needed, may move to Sané if not looking like starting.

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Malcom may take Theo’s minutes if he goes to Everton.

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Aye, if he moves I'll get rid. Maybe to Sessegnon or else downgrade Wilson and upgrade Walcott to Siggy.

    3. Big Daddy Sam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say defence looks pretty risky to get at least 3 of them to play every week.

    Please don't copy this. Thanks.

    Ryan, Button.
    Mendy, Lindelöf/Shaw, Cédric, Wan-Bissaka, Peltier.
    Salah, Mahrez, Martial, Cairney, Chalobah.
    Kane, Agüero, Reid.

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I have no intentions of doing so 😉
      Looks alright to me though (if that means anything)
      What are Reid? Not heard much about him

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Just a little punt to start the season 😉

        19G/7A for Bristol City in the Championship and took penalties(might take them off Ralls), likely to play just off Zohore and has (bou, NEW, hud) so not the strongest starting opponents whilst we asses the rest of the cheap striking options.

        1. UshFPL
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I read a Cardiff fan online say he could play wide

          1. Parm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            One of him or Paterson will play out wide I think.

        2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I might copy him 😉 or Zohore. Not looked into Cardiff at all...

          1. Parm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I don't blame you. They are crap.

            1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              😆 the double up looks great then 😉

              (I am aware they will both be benched)

    2. Davido989

  8. Aurora Borealis?
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thought I would try one with attacking cover for each of the top teams

    Ederson (4.0)
    Robinson/Baines/PvA (Daniels/Cedric)
    Mahrez/Willian/Mkhitaryan/Son/Shaqiri
    Firmino/Lukaku (Quaner)

    1. Rhinos

  9. Kristobal
    • 14 Years

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A and no

      1. Kristobal
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. Anyone else from 6.5 and below as a 3rd striker?

        1. Majestic Chanka
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I’m looking Wilson (£6m), think Wood (£6.5m) is an effective 3rd striker as well

        2. The Pesci challenge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Austin but hearing Ings may go saints so he could be one to look out for

    2. Kizza_10
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A.

      Maybe look at Wood from Burnley

  10. Bad Kompany
    • 7 Years

    What do people get if they add up all of their players ownership?

    My team's is 165

    1. Rhinos

      Are you confident of Kane starting GW1 or just budgeting for getting him back? I like it though, I've gone very similar and also punting on the two 4m def starting to free up cash to fund it.

      This is a decision that has to be made no more than a week before GW1, really. If Schloop looks favourite for LW, then him.

    If you have any doubts about a player starting GW1 do you leave them out?
    I'm having some doubts about Alonso, Aguero and Valencia.
    Not saying they won't play but there's a little niggle.
    Anyone else avoiding these players?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years

      yep, all of them. for different reasons though

    2. TallestJohn
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Valencia and Alonso aren't worth it anyway. I'm going Aguero, don't really care about Jesus rotation

  17. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Decent?

    Patricio Foster
    Davies Robertson Daniels Cedric Schlupp
    Salah Silva Ramsey Cairney Hughes
    Kane Arnautovic Zaha

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Decent. You could downgrade Ramsey to Mkhi to upgrade Cairney to Deulofeu? Deu and Highes seem the best value in that price range to me. You can use your strong bench to cover their fixtures in 4, 5 and 7.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I’ve got a feeling Ramsey is underpriced at 7.5 though.
        I agree that Hughes and Deulofeu are good picks around that price

            • 9 Years

            slight mistake from me, I'd play Tomkins GW1 over Pereira

            but let's say every player in the squad had Cardiff at home in GW1, that'd be my preferred 11 above

    3. TallestJohn
      • 8 Years

      Don't see the value in de Gea at 6m, if you're going premium I'd go Ederson as he's at least cheaper than the City defenders.

        2. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Mostly due to the association people make between DMs/CMs and casual players. There are more attacking players at that price who can get you more points. Also because Salah is essential on these pages, and it can be hard to get feedback unless you have him in your team.

          I would personally agree with Nico about Jorghino and Keita. There seem to belots of good value players out there, and these two aren't near the top of that list 🙂

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

        The problem with being without Salah is captaincy points. I tried to manage without him last autumn and failed. No fear factor, I just believe he is worth the money and if not, then easy to ditch. Has anyone calculated the numbers seriously?

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keita & Jorginho not the most attacking players imo, I would include one at the very most. Like the Sanchez pick though

      1. James2201
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I know, I am open to changing them. Just struggling to see who I can get in. Possibly Ramsey but unsure who else could get me good points in those price brackets

        1. nico05
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Barring the first two difficult games Mkhitaryan at 7 million could turn out to be excellent value

          1. James2201
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I was thinking of him, I just don’t know how arsenal are going to line up with so many attacking players

        2. TheDonald
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Keita could be good imo!

          Alexander-Arnold may also miss first few games to World Cup.

          Maybe Mendy too, but he's gone on Man City's USA tour so maybe not.

  26. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Yeah...finally back home off my hols and some internet. Time to make a team.

    But first...@Mark/mods...

    We always get a rotation article (or several) about rotating cheap defenders for months ahead....whilst actually the big points are often found by rotating captains. Any chance of an article or two on where the big points are?

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds like a great suggestion to me

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Aye...Budget constraints mean we are mainly forced to have 2/3 budget defenders and only 2/3 captain choices to begin with. The first gets plenty of words whilst the latter is largely ignored. I'd much sooner get a lot of words and planning on the latter.

    2. TheDonald
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i like it

    3. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Just captain Salah most of the time. Points don't get any bigger than that if he can repeat last season's form (and why shouldn't he?). Your squad will almost certainly also contain one or two other big hitters such as Auba and Kun who can fill in when required. Simples!

      It might be interesting to consider alternatives though in case he misses part of the season through injury or unexpectedly loses form.

    Thoughts?

    Ederson

    Azpilicueta - Robertson - Davies - Evans - Cedric

    Salah - Mahrez - Siggy - Armstrong - Costa

    Aguero - Tosun - 4.5

    Thanks

    1. TheDonald

      Googled 'armstrong premier league' and didn't find anyone that fit the bill.

      Looked at 5.0 and 4.5 midfielders and couldn't find anyone with that name. Also no idea who Costa is.

      Rest of it looks pretty standard.

    2. TheDonald
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No, he's probably out for the first 4 games with Asian games.

      If he doesn't want to go to that, he's being drafted to the army.

      So he's definitely out, either way.

    Is Walcott more popular than Siggy just because of the 1m saving or are there other reasons?
    I'd predict Siggy to be more nailed and produce more attacking returns?
