Salah back to his best as Liverpool get much-needed clean sheet

Liverpool ruthlessly capitalised on their opportunity to get back to winning ways with a 3-0 drubbing of Bournemouth on Saturday.

After huffing and puffing against Leicester and West Ham, Jurgen Klopp’s men completely dominated the Cherries at Anfield.

They created five big chances to their opponents’ zero and had more than double the number of shots in the penalty box too.

The impact of that result on our Fantasy Premier League squads is the focus of this latest Scout Notes article.

Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth

Goals: Sadio Mané (£9.6m), Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m), Mohamed Salah (£13.6m)

Assists: James Milner (£5.6m), Andrew Robertson (£6.8m), Roberto Firmino (£9.3m)

Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) was comfortably the best player in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth and arguably should have registered more than his eight-point haul. The Egyptian topped the game for total goal attempts, recording more than double any other player at Anfield, also having the most shots in the box and efforts on target too. Furthermore, Salah was second for chances created. Those sorts of numbers will be great news to any Fantasy managers who had been worried by Salah’s recent form, after two consecutive blanks in Gameweeks 24 and 25.

The fact that he did not capitalise on all of his chances and do enough to secure a double-figure haul is, of course, a little frustrating, especially with captaincy rival Paul Pogba (£8.8m) scoring 16 points. However, seeing Salah perform so well in open play for the first time in several weeks provides encouragement for the future, even if it’s a trip to Manchester United up next.

“The performance was brilliant. He was pretty much undefendable. It was an outstanding game; it was just exactly the football he is able to play and what we want him to play. Very, very involved in all the things, not only in the scoring moments, in the build-up situations as well. Sometimes dropping a bit, not really deep but in the half-spaces, staying wide and all that stuff. That’s exactly how he has to play and he did it in an outstanding manner.” – Jurgen Klopp

While Salah was the clear star of the show, Sadio Mané (£9.6m) continues to offer potential as a cheaper alternative. He was the one to open the scoring for Liverpool and has now netted in four consecutive Premier League matches. Coming into the Saturday afternoon encounter, the Senegalese international had been outperforming Salah for shots in the box and efforts on target in the four previous matches, hence the serious interest in his signature of late. That said, Salah was the clear winner statistically against Bournemouth.

“The front three were brilliant all day. Some of their link-up play was impossible to defend: the movement, the understanding, the one-touch play. Probably the only disappointing thing is we didn’t score more. But we’re pleased to get a clean sheet and to get the three points was the main thing, obviously.” – James Milner

Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) also reminded Fantasy managers what he is capable of as he provided the assist for Salah’s only goal of the game. Driving into the penalty box, his perfectly-timed back-heel set up the Egyptian for his cool finish. It was Firmino’s first attacking return since Gameweek 23, although he does still have six in his last eight. Crucially, the Brazilian was level with Mané for shots in the box but was more accurate, while no player created more chances in the match than him. That means Firmino should still be on our radar as a potential attacking double-up with Salah when a Liverpool triple-up looks important in the future Blank Gameweeks.

“I don’t think you’ll find a lot of players who do what Bobby did in that moment. Most of them would try to shoot and get blocked, but he did that little, little pass and then Mo is obviously a pretty cool finisher.” – Jurgen Klopp

As well as a welcome return to the ruthless attacking football for which Liverpool are known, there was also a first clean sheet since Gameweek 22. After three matches without one, the shutout was fairly routinely secured against a Bournemouth side that had scored three times in their seven away matches prior to this one. Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) was the main beneficiary as he was able to combine the clean sheet with a seventh assist of the season and one bonus for a nine-point haul.

Liverpool defensive options should firmly re-establish themselves as important assets moving forward, especially with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m) making his much-awaited return from injury. He featured as a 77th-minute substitute.

“Trent trained twice after four weeks out and it was good that we could bring him [on]. You could see immediately what a fantastic player he is.” – Jurgen Klopp

The entire Liverpool performance was impressive considering some of the problems the squad had in the build-up to the game. Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m), the scorer of the second goal, had illness issues in the week, as did James Milner (£5.6m).

“We had difficulties before the West Ham game, with Hendo out, Gini out, Millie was not in the team hotel because he was ill but he played. We didn’t perform that well and people were talking about him. Last night, Gini was not in the team hotel because he had pretty much everything you don’t want to have the night or two nights before a game. That’s the news you get in the morning before the last session of the week. Then, after another couple of hours’ sleep he said he felt really good and he thought he could play. But the doc said he is still infectious, so stay away. So I was only concerned today when he scored a goal and everybody gave him a hug, to be honest!” – Jurgen Klopp

For anyone worried about the adverse effects of the illness within the group, or any injuries, there is now a period of 14 days between now and Liverpool’s next Premier League match. They host Bayern Munich on Tuesday night but their elimination from the FA Cup means they have no fixture next weekend, before returning to action against Manchester United in Gameweek 27 on February 24.

“I think [it will] for everyone. We are having one of those runs in the season where we have got little niggles, little injuries, illnesses and disruption to the team a couple of days before, it has been the last few games really. Hopefully, we can rest up and get everyone back fit. It was good to see Trent back, Hendo was on the bench if needed. That’s good and hopefully, a few more can come back in the next 10 days, refresh and go again.” – James Milner

Bournemouth continue to look decidedly ordinary on the road, compounded by the ongoing absences of Callum Wilson (£6.3m) and David Brooks (£5.0m). They were also hit by a thigh problem for Junior Stanislas (£6.0m) while Charlie Daniels (£4.1m) missed the game through personal reasons.

“We had Callum Wilson, David Brooks, Charlie Daniels, Nathaniel Clyne and Junior Stanislas are huge players for us. Since Christmas, we can add Lewis Cook and Simon Francis to that list, but there’s no other solution, we have to keep fighting. My philosophy is to look at ourselves first and that includes who we have available.” – Eddie Howe

The Cherries were restricted to just 33% possession at Anfield had just two efforts on target all afternoon. They certainly look like a team to largely avoid in the near future with Wolves (home), Arsenal (away) and Manchester City (home) their next three opponents.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Matip, Milner; Keita, Fabinho, Wijnaldum (Alexander-Arnold 77′); Mané (Origi 87′), Firmino (Sturridge 90′), Salah.

Bournemouth XI (4-5-1): Boruc; Rico (Mepham 80′), Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Fraser, Surman, Lerma (Mousset 73′), Gosling, Ibe (Solanke 59′); King.

    6 goals and not even an assist for Bernardo. Time to get rid?

    Thinking of foregoing having a playing goalkeeper next week to have 2 FTs for the midweek games. Good plan? Can field 10.

            I did read some article about protecting players who have blanks/dgw as well as price changes for players bought in on FH. Not sure if its on official fpl or some other one like sky

            1. Mr Q
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Interesting. Never heard about it before..

          2. MTPockets
              5 years, 1 month ago

              1) they often seem to manually intervene
              2) recall from previous seasons that the threshold changes for blank/dgw players, so probably more guesswork involved in his and others' price change %

                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Threshold changes sounds about right, this is pretty much what i thought. Dont even think it was an article on this site though so many on here may not have seen it

                1. MTPockets

                    There are vague refs to blank game week rules here: http://fplstatistics.com/Home/ComingSoon
                    But basically I think it's fair to say they're different from normal

          Sarri has surely got to go. That was abysmal and Chelsea look lost.

          Beating HUD 5-0 at home last week was literally just like trying to put a bandaid over a crater of problems.

            I’m loving Chelsea atm, wouldn’t change a thing.

              😆 quite comical now that I don't own Haz anymore tbh. Was thinking I'd get him back on WC for doubles, but not when they play like that

            In fairness city could beat anyone except Liverpool by 4 or 5 on their day.

            Having said that they seem hopelessly one-dimensional.

            They knew what they were getting into when they hired him so maybe a preseason and more of his own signings to play his style would be fair.

            Saw some ruing it during the walloping that was the MCI CHE game earlier. That would hurt even more than being stuck with auba the whole way thru

                      Being an Auba owner Aguero non owner all the way through was obviously worse.

                        Hi guys, it’s what I did...

                        Convinced myself taking two hits over two weeks for the Auba-Kun-Auba moves wasnt worth it. What’s worse is that I would have ended up keeping Kun because of the Aubameyang illness!

            Lloris (12)
            Robertson (9) / Shaw (6) / AWB (1) / Doherty (?)
            Salah c (16) / Mane (8) / Pogba (16) / Richarlison (2)
            Jimenez (?) / Aguero (17)

            A good gameweek so far. Did Sane --> Mane. Currently on 86 points.

            But annoying me that people sells Richarlison now so much and maybe he is going to drop another 0,1£ tonight?!

            I wouldn't hurry because now is a long break coming.. 1 FT & 0,3 ITB. So 0,1£ short Richa --> Fanderson.. What to do.. Maybe Aquero to Auba/Laca and Richa to Fanderson/Son for -4.

            1. mental fortitude

              I could have written your comment. Our teams are nearly the same barring Doherty. Also short by .1 for Richarlison To Fanderson move. Looking at Jota or Moutinho or Maddison for Richarlison. Definitely not SON as his games coming up are not favourable. Aguero bench for now unless something good comes up with DGW games announcements this week. Hope this helps.

                TY mate for your comments!

                Tempted to do Aguero & Richarlison --> Auba & Fanderson (-4)

                  Just keep Aguero

            I lost my 50-point lead just in 2 weeks mostly because of being Kun-less, main rival jumped from 54K to 10K in 2 weeks, impressive from him though.

              • 6 Years

              ...always pick a fit Aguero.

              Why do I always forget this.

            2. Karan14

              5k to 15k in two gameweeks because of Kun.

              Don’t worry, I lost my 50 point lead AND am now 40 behind!

            RMT is predicting Arnie as the second highest point getter after Auba in GW27. Interesting.

                Might be worth bringing in for a while. Some nice fixtures after the DGW ...

              Hard to pick him over Kun/Auba/Jimi/Rashford as it stands. Decent punt if you're moving to a 433 from 442 or something I guess..?

            Kolasinac scoring that og really cocked up my week. It would have been amazing

                  I once captained Vermaelen who had massive attacking threat and he was injured and subbed at 59 mins when it was 0 - 0

                  1. Wild Rover

            • 7 Years

            How I'd play it...

            Have Auba? Keep him (obviously) for the BGW and potentially for BOU in GW28 given it's a midweek game and Kun could be rotated then vs WHU. Then likely swap for Kun after that. This'll likely be what I do.

            Have Aguero? I'd honestly just bench him for the DGW, assuming you have a decent captaincy option like maybe Son?

            Dunno

              A couple of weeks ago the kun-auba hokey-cokey was my plan and I intended to keep and bench sane.

              Fortunately I did the right amount of hokey and held off the cokey.

              Getting rid of sane seems obvious now, but who for?

              And no arsenal forward is scary.

                yeah fatefully decided against the hokey cokey too - drat!

                same boat with sane as well. anderson is who most on here are going for, but not sure on him/whu

                  I'm tempted to gamble on a salah-mane double up.

                  Deep fixture next week but looks strong for a while after that.

            I really need to ditch Richarlison and i have only one FT 1,7 itb.
            Since there are no one exiting midfielder under the budget 8,5 imo i have to take a hit, i really want Mane and Pereira/Chilwell.

            A. Richar & Laporte to Mane & Lascelles and then next gw do Shaw to Chilwell. -4

            B. Richar, Laporte, Højbjerg to Mane, Chilwell, Punchegon -8

            C. Richar, Laporte to Eriksen, Pereira -4

                I've had Aguero for both hattricks and dropped in rank so it's all down to luck, had Sane captain last week and I've had 5 yellows, Kolas own goal and a Rashford no show this week.

              Injury aside, I am surprised that so many folk transferred out Aguero for Auba for this GW (most for a hit). Man City at home have been formiddable all season, Aguero on the back of a hat-trick and Chelsea fragile (Hud game was a smoke screen)

                Easy to say now but Huddersfield are atrocious. Chelsea at home and a blank swung it for some

                1. MTPockets
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Arsenal had and still have zero cs away this season (and only 4 I think last season). Not the same prospects home/away

                  • scottmac

                    Huddersfield are atrocious, which is why the Chelsea game against them was a smoke screen. Chelsea had conceded 6 over the 2 games prior to Hud game. Ship out for the blank, but not before surely?

                    Much better teams at attacking away than Arsenal haven't piled on the points at Hudd. Aguero had scored more points against Chelsea than any other club before this game I believe

                If i do Richarlison -> McNeil now I can get Adam Smith for the BGW's. If not it will have to be Bednarek instead.

                Contemplating my captain

                Auba will be popular. Not getting him as I don’t trust arsenal and don’t wanna waste two FT for the guy while offloading Kun.

                Son. The obvious alternative according to the masses. Kane might be back- I don’t think that helps Son despite people’s claims.

                Pogba- on fire. Pool are looking fragile despite a CS v Bournemouth who are horrific away from home. Rashford same as Pogba really.

                Jiminez - away to Bou. They are actually very good at home Bournemouth.

                So it’s between son and Pogba for me. Son will be more popular, but I think Pogba will be my captain.

                Probably gonna take an fpl break now and see what the FA cup throws us

                        His stats are regressing and the penalties have stopped. Lack of bonus. Away from home. Also my gut feeling that united win

                  son pogba or auba here but waiting to see if cup games or ucl games or players returning from injury change landscape of things

                in light of the 'shall i keep Kun and bench'

                I am debating Rashford> Lacazette for the blank..

                Have Pogba, Other striker is Rondon

                  I think that is an interesting alternative.

                  for which blank? why?

                    basically to keep Kun, have and have an Arsenal attacker...

                  in hindsight probably a stupid move and a cost of .5 buy back

                Best mid for around 5 m that plays next week and in 31
                Any thoughts lads?

                  depends on the cup results

                  Snodgrass or Nasri?

                    I have Snod kept through 0.2m drops recently. Wouldn't buy. Nasri is a waste of space

                  Westwood? Do you actually want points?

                  Camarasa. Not sure about him for 31

              10. It’s gonna Ben Mee
                • 10 Years

                Who needs to go first: Schindler or Saïss?

                1. how now brown cow
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  As an owner, Schindler is excellent.

                  A maximum of 0 points whether he plays or not.

                  No worries about rotation or even BGW.

                Well, here is to hoping going for Kane while the masses will be on Aguero will pay off!
