FPL Question Time – Salah Triple Captain and faith in Maddison for Gameweek 12

Liverpool’s upcoming match against basement boys Fulham has caused a few managers to drop the T-word this week.

The form of both sides means that Mohamed Salah is being talked about as a potential Triple Captain already.

We’ve put that suggestion as well as issues connected with James Maddison, Richarlison and Aleksandar Mitrovic to our latest Question Time panel.

Who’s on the panel this week?

Lejuan Basson – A South Africa-based FPL manager who finished an enviable 24th in the world in 2017/18.

Ben Crabtree – A proud Evertonian and the overall winner of FPL in 2016/17.

Simon March – Another of the select group to have finished first in the world, this time in 2014/15.

Question 1 – Ben

George Williams: Is it a wise move to triple captain Mohamed Salah against Fulham, considering their defensive record?

“My approach to the Triple Captain chip is quite standard: use it in a double Gameweek. However, this has not reaped any noticeable rewards with even my FPL title-winning winning season only bring in nine Aguero points, becoming 27. Not bad, but clearly there were plenty of better single Gameweeks I could have used it in.

“Looking at Salah, or more accurately scouting the Fulham defence, there’s a high chance there’s two goals for liverpool, a huge chance of three goals and a big chance of four goals.

“Salah is directly involved in a large percentage of Liverpool’s attacking returns so returns seem as close to guaranteed as you can get.

“I do think it’s a wise move that should make good use of the chip. Time will tell if the double Gameweeks create a better opportunity but I wouldn’t actually be too sure they will.”

Question 2 – Simon

Craig: What key stats and skills are central to help you look through the noise and pick good FF players while excluding the trend players who don’t always deliver.

“If you are looking at stats to help guide your FPL decisions, I think there are two key rules to follow; make sure you’re looking at enough data, and make sure you’re looking at it in context.

“In general, it’s a good idea not to let yourself be overly-influenced by small samples of data, the most common being the tendency to over-emphasise a player’s most recent performance, particularly when it contrasts with their performance over a longer period.

“Often, we’re using stats to pick between two or three players. One method is to begin with the desired result, e.g. goals for a striker, then look at stats that are most closely associated with that result, such as shots on target, and then work backwards to include ever-broader indicators such as; shots in the box, shot accuracy, total attempts and average position until you have a ‘funnel’ of stats. If a player fares well across the whole funnel, then there’s a decent chance that they’ll sustain their form. If they perform well in one stat and not in others, there’s a good chance that they won’t. Again though, the sample size is key to making good insights here.

“Context is also important. A player’s stats might look good because their fixtures have been favourable and, therefore, they might not be sustainable if their upcoming fixtures are much tougher (and vice versa). It’s also worth looking at a team’s performance as a whole. A player can have good looking stats but, if their team is struggling, they’ll face an uphill battle each Gameweek to convert them into FPL points.

“Finally, it’s important to remember that good stats don’t always tell a positive story. For example, a defender ranking highly for, say, headed clearances could indicate that they play for a team that is frequently under defensive pressure and, therefore, at greater risk of conceding. So, when looking at defenders, in particular, it’s often best to look at the team first, and how defensively solid they are overall, before considering the stats of individual players.”

Question 3 – Lejuan

Mostafa: How long should we keep faith in James Maddison?

“Even though I don’t own Maddison I’ve been very impressed with him the last two games I’ve watched.

“He has provided some very good chances that his team-mates have been close to scoring.

“Two specific examples are Vicente Iborra’s header against West Ham that was straight at the goalkeeper, and his rebounded shot which Jamie Vardy saw handled by Sol Bamba.

“So if I did own him I’d keep him for at least the next four gameweeks where he has some really good fixtures. A home match against Burnley in Gameweek 12 looks particularly appealing.”

Question 4 – Ben

Jpkelly2: Who is best replacement over the next four to six weeks for an off-the-boil Aleksandar Mitrovic?

“It’s hard to judge a Mitrovic replacement without knowing the rest of a team and money in the bank. If someone is eyeing up a mid-priced midfielder and in need of a bit of money, Mitrovic to Jiménez could help.

“The Wolves forward offers good value but I found it frustrating owning him and changed last week to Arnautovic.

“Arnautovic is, without doubt, the best pick, assuming you don’t own him already. If you need a bit of money to get him I’d downgrade the weakest link elsewhere in your team to make it possible.

“Wilson is the man on fire at the moment and while it can’t be considered a bad move to go for him given his form over 11 Gameweeks, I feel Bournemouth’s form is due to dip. In part because of fixtures and also because they’re a team who seem to play in cycles and average out in the end to a solid mid-table finish.

“Personally, Murray isn’t for me although some returns would be likely. I’d rather look to find the money to upgrade to Vardy (fixtures) or Morata (Sarri’s latest enlightened pupil?).

“If money’s tight, you own Arnautovic already and are looking for something different, Zaha could be a shout. Spurs and Man United aren’t looking great defensively and after that, his fixtures become enticing, especially as he’ll be one of the most nailed forwards over the Christmas period.”

Question 5 – Lejuan

Victor Valov: Richarlison or Gylfi Sigurdsson (or both)?

“I think there could be a strong argument for either Richarlison or Sigurdsson.

“The Icelandic international has been on a really nice run lately and is getting into great scoring positions, which is in addition to his fantastic creative ability.

“I do, however, feel Richarlison has more potential and could hurt you more with his ownership. He’s cheaper too.

“If you don’t own either and don’t have a great rank then Sigurdsson would be my choice to propel you upwards.”

    No Pool attack, would it justify Hazard to Mane for -4?

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

      I wouldn't ditch Hazard

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

      can go either way

      profit could be minimal if hazard gets any attacking return this week plus reversal of that move in 2-weeks time

      on your own sir

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years

      No imo

    4. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Mane should be worth a hit this gw, but not for haz

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

    Save FT? 1.0 ITB

    Fabianski
    RAM
    Hazard, Mane, Maddison, Fraser
    Aguero, Arnie, Ings

    Patricio, Richarlison, AWB, Peltier

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      yep

      1. Manumana
        • 8 Years

        I prefer ARM to RAM

  3. Holmes

    Are PSV a decent team?

    Last night,

    Davies: 4 shots, 4 chances created
    Winks: 7 chances created
    Alli: 5 shots, 3 chances created

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No
      They play in the Dutch league

  4. DT42
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I had planned to switch Sterling for Salah this week, just for 1-2 weeks. Is it still a good move?

    With 2FT and 0.3 itb would you do;
    A. Sterling and Mitro > Salah and Sucess
    B. Sterling, Mitro and Rui > Salah, 4.0 GK and Ings (-4pts)
    C. Mitro to Wilson/Zaha (and hope captain Mane is enough)

    Fabs. Rui.
    TAA. Mendy. Doherty. Yedlin. Bennett.
    Haz. Mane. Sterling. Maddy. Kayal.
    Kun. Arnie. Mitro

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

      you already have Mane which "covers" Salah to a certain extent. If you lose Sterling for Salah it has to be a long term move. Do you feel confident Salah will outscore sterling in the next 4/5 Gws? Do you want to go into the international break with only 1FT?

      you have the luxury of already owning one pool mid so you're not that exposed imo. If I was you I'd bin Mitro, captain Mane and that's it

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

      B can work, decent potential

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

      C. Wilson

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

    How worried should I be without a Liverpool mid this GW for Fulham @home? Will Klopp bench either Salah or Mane after last night's poor result?

    Front 8 with 2FTs=
    Sterling / Haz / Rich / Fraser / 4.4
    Kun / Vardy / Arnie

    a) Sterling + Vardy > Salah (c) + Murray
    b) Sterling > Mane
    c) Haz >Mane

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Very worried

  6. french holiday
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kun to outscore Sterling over the next 2 fixtures and Sterling to be benched after int break?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      easy-peasy

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

      Let's hope so

  7. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah owners, still captaining him?

    Last night’s shitstorm giving me doubts.

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

      Yes. Ucl doesnt matter, English clubs are poor away in Europe

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

      farewell with a captaincy

    3. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If Saari says Hazard is fit for 90 mins thenhe will have my captaincy.

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes but put me off considering TC

  8. fenixri
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Klopp wont rest Mane or Salah for Fulham after Belgrade debacle right?

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      TAA and the mids may be dropped.

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

      I think Salah is safe. Not sure about Mane but hoping he plays. Mane owner, no Salah. Shaqiri might get a game.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      All you will get with a question like this is wild speculation with zero basis

  9. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Alonso is the second highest points scorer in the game, just one point behind Hazard ... is he really too expensive at 7.0 mill and why would anyone not have him in their team ?

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

      Season keeper for me

      1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        This

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

      low team value, just feels too expensive when compared with cheaper defenders, cash required for mids/forwards

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He has more points than Salah, Sterling, Mane, Kun .,.. why have an extra one of those at the expense of Alonso for an extra £5 mill ? I just don’t get it 🙂

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

          Same reason people own Salah over all the other cheaper alternatives.

          They are stupid.

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

            😡

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

          i wont have 3 of those after this week, so cash is for someone else

          in the end, i have to get a cleanie from a defender, i would prefer to gamble with a cheap defender for that

          if we talk about value, 5 at back is obviously going to win. getting premium assets from top teams offer higher potential of points.

        3. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          just getting RAM at back with couple of premium attacking players would be too easy for my liking, I'll be pretty bored since I wont have to make any changes in defense for 10 weeks or so, just have to sit with same team for so long... 😮

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

            Boring is the way to do well in fpl though. Just Ask Ville Wönka.

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              yeah, patience, no hits works over longer term

              but if i just wanted to be bored, i wouldnt play this game and concentrate more on job 😛

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

                It's a catch 22 though...taking hits and risks most often kills OR...that makes me miserable. I don't like being miserable. It's much more fun fun doing well.

                1. Holmes
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  hehe, different managers, different taste!

                  i believe there are multiple ways to win this game. instead of following a particular blueprint, having my own style and improving every year makes me feel better

                  but in the end, if i dont succeed and if patience is the only way to do well in this game, then I would take a break from FPL and find something else to do! 😀

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

              for good ranks, following Ville way will do the trick

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

      FPL Gold. Real life trash.

    4. Jafalad

      Points/per million pounds, he's the best value player out there.

    Have Salah and Robertson, is it justified to do either of this (1FT available)?

    Hazard to Mane and get Hazard back in GW 14 after Spurs

    1. Botman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

    2. jon.terry.tfh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No. You'll lose so much value for doing that, plus Hazard at home vs Everton is a good fixture

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

        Afraid of missing value by not doubling up on Liverpool attack. They should be angry after last night loss and Fulham are pathetic in defence, expect a romp similar to Man City v Southampton

    What to do with Mitrovic??

    Got Aguero and Arnautovic..

      Wilson

    3. fenixri

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not for free, could be a serious backlash

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Not a bad move for free, as there could be a Liverpool backlash vs Fulham

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years

      Nothing wrong with having three outfield Liverpuds this week. This would be the week to do it if you are intending to make such a move.

    If you’re ok with 4-4-2 - Hamer, AWB, Diangana, Success is quite a cheap & cheerful bench.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      We think Diangana and Success are gonna remain in their teams' first choice XI for a while longer?

    Last nights performance really didn’t fill me with confidence, albeit it wasn’t Fulham they were playing.

    Should I avoid taking a -8 to bring Salah in for Kane? And captain mane

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you bring in Salah for a -8 and not captain him?

      Think Kane could do well against Palace this weekend

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Ok bud

          Henny > Alison (-4) gives me a triple up of robbo, mane, Alison

          Good enough?

    Get my fellow Saffer FPL manager Lejuan Basson on "meet the Manager". videos.

    You keep on asking Lejuan's advice on these articles, but have never mentioned she is a girl.

    Come on, have some balls.

      Just mention discrimination against a women and wait for the sirens. That should force their hand and probably get them on the home page of BBC news .

      I agree with this btw. I've never heard of her but I've never heard of any of these people so I think this should happen just to represent another country if nothing else

    Bring in Salah for Kun or just keep Kun and hope Mane starts and performs?

    Fulham are really awful, can see Pool getting 4-5 goals and if Salah switches on, then OR will plummet like a wounded bird.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I’m equally torn the only ways I can get Salah are for a -8

      A) kane + guendouzi > Salah + success
      B) kane + barkley > Salah + jiminez

      But I’m tempted to captain Mane and bring in Alison for Henny (-4)

      Thoughts?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Alli and Eriksen make that Spurs attack much much better. I still think Kane will become an option very soon but Liverpool vs Fulham is going to be goal fest. The only issue is -8, which i think is a bit of a big gamble.

    Just made it inside the top 10k for the first time and keen to stay there!
    Any advice on what to do with this? 2 Ft and 0.3 in the bank.
    Cheers

    Allison, Hamer
    Robertson, Mendy, Alonso, AWB, Bennet
    Hazard, Mane, Dilva, Richarlison, Ward
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

    Thanks in advance

      Mitro to Arnie siren

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nice team. Mitro to Arnie and save the FT?

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

        Thanks Fellas, was considering that move so good to have it confirmed, was also thinking Martial in for Dilva, what do you reckon? I think he could be a good way to make some money as will rise plenty in the coming weeks, fancy him for a goal in the Derby too (and I'm a City fan!).

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I will bring in Martial after the City game. DSilva is good to go for the derby i reckon.

  21. The Mantis

    D Silva & Mendy out for Mane & a defender worth up to 5.1M?

    Looking at fixtures. City v man utd I feel can be a close game. Would rather the impact of Mane vs Fulham rather than Silva against Utd

    Thanks

    Best mid in the 7.5-8.5 bracket excluding Siggy ?

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

      Martial.

      F Anderson on my watchlist. He's cheap too.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly what he said

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Kind of still like Bilva too
          Seriously underrated on here

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

            Most teams have Mendy and kun. So he is fighting against the likes of Laporte, ederson, Sterling & co. for the last city spot.

            1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Excellent maths there sir

  23. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Seriously contemplating Kun > Firmino for a 1 week punt. Seems assured of a start vs that sieve that is Fulham defence.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Obviously you havent watched much Pool
      He is not in form and way too deep.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Have watched all their matches in fact and am well aware of his heat map. Thing is he won’t have to drop deep to collect the ball v Fulham and will remain camped around their box

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Then you must be mental to be considering that transfer

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Righto genius

            1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              🙂

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I will keep Kun. Firmino will most probably switch position with Salah and play in a midfield role.

    3. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      For free that isn’t a bad shout

      Yes firmino isn’t in form but you don’t need to be in form to beat Fulham lol

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Out of form, so a big gamble

  24. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Own Mane and Robertson

    Best route for 3rd Liverpool asset:

    A) Kane + Guendouzi > Salah + Success (-8)

    B) Henny > Alison (-4)

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      Are you gonna ask this twice a page all week?

      1. #FPLBhuna

      What is the rest of your team?

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        henny
        robertson - alonso - pereira
        mane - sterling - barkley - pereira
        kane - vardy - mitrovic

        hamer - doherty - awb - guendouzi

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Always deal with your worst problem first. Which in that team is probably Mitro

          1. #FPLBhuna
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            My bad I binned mitrovic > arnie already Saturday night was my FT

            1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              I'd save that then.
              Next week I plan to do Salah Maddison to sterling mane so you are ahead of the curve there

              1. #FPLBhuna
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Fair point

                Will you go ahead with that move even if Salah bags a brace/ hatty?

            2. Joletouriste
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Keeping your team doesn't look wrong and avoiding that -4. -8 for Salah is out of the question imo

          2. #FPLBhuna
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Also don’t think I’ve slept enough

            I don’t have a second pereira in midfield, that is meant to be fraser

        2. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          No hit needed. Just C Mane and GTG.

  25. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Foster.
    Robertson, Alonso, Trippier, Laporte.
    Salah, Mane, Hazard, Rich.
    Arnie, Mitro.
    Patricio, Success, AWB, CHO.
    1ft, 0.2m. WC still available for around GW 15/16 probably.

    1. Save the FT for the Inter break. (Possibly Sterling + Doherty in next GW for Salah + Trippier etc).

    2. Change Mitrovic right now. Wilson/Jimenez in maybe?

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

      1

  26. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How do I bring arnie in now? Missed out on price rises so need to free up 0.4mil - 2ft
    Fabianski
    Alonso Mendy Robbo
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Mitrovic Jiminez

    Button Jonny Hojberg WB

    Probably would downgrade Fraser but no options there

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fraser > Diangana

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Really really dont get Diangana
        Then you will have two atrocious midfielder that will get you either 0 or 1pt most weeks
        You can't really afford to downgrade a mid or your team will suffer
        So either Jonny, or if it was me, I wouldn't get Arnie
        Not worth tearing your team up
        Wilson or Murray affordable

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          How can you say diangana is atrocious

          Granted he’s only recently stepped into the starting xi, but with yarmalenko out for the season, the place is his to lose. Crowd already love him he looked very lively against burnley and was unlucky not to have a 2nd assist as he was blatantly fouled for the pen that was not awarded.

          He’s viable imo.

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            We'll see.

          2. #FPLBhuna
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            AND you have .8 or .9 itb to upgrade your bench.

            1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Hojberg to Fraser for -4
              🙂 🙂

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        yep, or this

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Jonny -> Bennett, Hojberg -> Stephens ??
      or Fraser => Brooks

  27. Joletouriste

    I want to get rid of Walcott this week (wanted him out since a long time...)
    Contemplating my options

    1ft 1.3itb

    1)Straight swap to Rich or Maddi
    2) get someone like Diangana or get one of Cardiff midfielder and get Robbo in as well for Wan Bissaka and -4
    3) something else

    My team:

    Fab/Foater
    Mendy, Alonso, Doherty, Digne, WB
    Salah, Hazard, Fraser, McDonald, Walcott
    Aguero, Arni, Jimenez

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Rich looks good
      You want to have 4 decent mids so dont downgrade to tripe

    2. rrcmc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wally to Rich or could do Wally to Maddi for this week as they play BUR and then to Rich for their plum game the week after.

      1. Joletouriste
