Which Liverpool midfielder should you sell to get Hazard?

Eden Hazard, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané are at the heart of Gameweek 6’s biggest dilemma.

Fantasy Premier League managers are currently assessing the best way of bringing Hazard into their teams, and those currently holding the Liverpool pair have a tough choice to make.

We’ve gone over the underlying data for the first five Gameweeks of the season to find out if Hazard is worth owning, whether it’s time to sell Salah or if Mané can match either of them.

Fantasy Football Scout members can find this information in the Members Area and read on ahead to enjoy our analysis.

      The only stats that really carry any weight here are box attempts (and arguably chance creation). And Salah ranks highest. The question is why does Salah rank highest and fall short.

      I suspect the answer is a combination of not quite being in his groove yet re. accuracy and some bad luck. As a Salah owner my belief in him remains fairly unshaken by what I have seen and read. Over the moon he is approaching a minor differential!

          That's basically been the discussion on podcasts. Jay E seems to be considering selling Salah instead of Mane. He's probably looking more at overall form right now. We don't know when Salah will hit form.

      Kane should have put that in the back of the net. He has not been sharp at all this season.
      He was alone against the goalie and still messed it up... he would have scored that if he was as good as last year

      Inter look pretty slow and tentative - and they are at home! Spurs should go for the jugular after half time.

      Who will score more points over next 4 weeks:

      Salah & Richarlison or
      Mane & Dilva

      In selling Salah over Mané, I still can't see where the added cash improves the average Top10k team.

      Assuming everyone has Agüero and a decent back three already, the value appears to lie in cheaper strikers over Vardy, and mid-price mids.

      I'd love to have David Silva in my team, perhaps, but my current lineup of Salah, Hazard, Maddison and Fraser seems more than enough.

      You need cheaper players anyway, to build your team's value.

        Agree with everything except the last line.

          Fair enough.

        I agree, tried swapping Salah for Haz today to see how I can utilize the money. Turns out I couldn't find anything clever to do with the cash. On the other hand, I can't find an easy way to swap Mane to Haz either. Maybe after the next GW.

      Arnie to Mitro for -4 or hold?

      Have Mendy and Aguero who are doubts (Ings suspended) so only Boly and Stephens on the bench.

        Hold, I have the same three and I'm keeping them.
