Nine goals in as many Gameweeks for Mane but Salah flops yet again

Liverpool kept their title bid on track at Craven Cottage on Sunday with an unexpectedly close-run win over relegation-threatened Fulham.

There was further joy for owners and (especially) captainers of Sadio Mane as the Senegalese midfielder registered his third double-digit haul in four Gameweeks and drew level on Premier League goals with Mohamed Salah for the season.

The Egyptian, however, blanked for the sixth time in eight top-flight games.

There was to be no clean sheet either for those Fantasy managers backing Liverpool’s defence after a calamitous passage of play allowed Scott Parker’s side to temporarily draw level.

There’s plenty to discuss in our Scout Notes below.

Fulham 1-2 Liverpool

  • Goals: Ryan Babel (£5.5m) | Sadio Mane (£13.4m), James Milner (£5.6m)
  • Assists: None | Roberto Firmino (£9.2m), Sadio Mane (£9.9m)

There was a depressingly familiar feel to Mohamed Salah‘s (£13.4m) performance in west London on Sunday.

For those not watching the match, the Egyptian’s underlying attacking statistics would have caught the eye.

Top of all players on show at Craven Cottage for penalty box touches, overall goal attempts, shots in the box and efforts on target, the data analysts amongst us would have been impressed by Salah’s numbers.

In reality, the Egypt international rarely looked like hitting the back of the net.

Only in the final 15 minutes did Salah pose any kind of serious threat but even when afforded a one-on-one opportunity with the error-prone Sergio Rico (£4.4m) just before full-time, FPL’s leading points-scorer (still) of 2018/19 lacked any kind of conviction with his finishing.

The Liverpool winger fluffed an early chance wide and fired in another two efforts that Rico should have gobbled up with ease – though the Spanish custodian made a hash of both shots, with one error proving costly.

Even aside from his tame shooting, Salah frustrated.

The Egyptian’s touch was awful and he failed with all five of his attempted take-ons, getting tackled on nine occasions – more than any other player in Gameweek 31.

A miserable afternoon for the 44% of Fantasy managers who own him, particularly the 1.7 million who captained him, was summed up by Liverpool’s winning goal.

Rico hauled down Sadio Mane (£9.9m) after spilling Salah’s 79th-minute shot to give the Reds the chance to retake the lead from the penalty spot but it was James Milner (£5.6m), on as a substitute just seven minutes earlier, who stepped up to win the game for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

The Liverpool boss shared his thoughts on the Reds’ spot-kick running order after full-time:

Mo scored a lot of goals and then he got the penalties as well but when Millie is on the pitch, I think it makes sense. And so, wonderful. Doubts, no, but even Millie is a human being and you can fail. But, you know, very, very good.

What to do with Salah is now a serious question that many Fantasy managers will have to ask themselves.

For those with the Free Hit and/or Wildcard chips still in their locker, the Egyptian is, some would argue, perhaps dispensable for Double Gameweeks 32 and 35.

Whether he remains a staple of Fantasy squads outside of these dates (and after Blank Gameweek 33) is another matter.

Salah will undoubtedly deliver attacking returns between now and the end of the season, maybe even posting a double-digit haul or two in the run-in.

Some attractive fixtures (Huddersfield at home in Gameweek 36, in particular) and his overall/effective ownership are further points to consider and it is this “fear factor” that deters many of us from selling him.

A blank against the worst defence in the Premier League may have been the tipping point for a sizeable percentage of Fantasy bosses, however, and his average FPL score over the last eight Gameweeks is now 3.5 points per match.

Mane, in contrast, is in red-hot form.

The Senegalese midfielder averages 8.9 points per game over the same period and now has 11 goals in his last 11 competitive starts, including nine in as many Gameweeks in the Premier League.

Mane’s underlying stats away from home haven’t been great of late and again, on Sunday, he hauled despite registering so-so numbers: two shots, one key pass.

There could well have been other attacking returns, though, despite these unremarkable KPIs: it was Mane that sent Salah through on goal in the dying stages, while the Senegal international himself hit the woodwork with a header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.6m) corner.

Quite simply, the stats tell only part of the story and don’t begin to reflect Mane’s current confidence and clinical streak in front of goal.

While there was an element of fortune about his “Fantasy assist” for Milner’s penalty, Mane’s goal was superbly constructed: the former Southampton winger trading passes with Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) and meeting the Brazilian’s cut-back to put the visitors 1-0 up after 25 minutes.

How many Fantasy managers missed out on captaincy points or Mane’s 13-point haul altogether because of his absence from training ground photos on Friday is an intriguing question.

Liverpool in general made hard work of a side that had conceded two or more goals in all ten of their previous league fixtures in 2019.

The Reds’ recent away form is something of a worry and this latest display was similar in style to their previous league matches on the road this calendar year.

While Liverpool average 3.4 goals per league game at Anfield in 2019, they are scoring at a rate of 0.83 goals per match on their travels since the turn of the year.

The Reds rank a lowly 11th for total attempts on goal over their last six away games, joint-eighth for shots on target, sixth for efforts in the box and joint-fifth for big chances.

They rank in the top three for all of the above categories over their last six Premier League fixtures at Anfield.

Klopp acknowledged that Milner’s penalty came at just the right time before any panic could set in:

I didn’t see us panic, that’s right – I liked how we reacted – but we needed a penalty for that situation.

That doesn’t say we were sensational, the boys are human beings. I was sure we would not panic, we would not show the nerves you are all waiting for. We are long enough in this situation. We know it’s difficult for other teams to beat us, that always gives us the opportunity pretty much to win it.

Most of the draws we had, we were closer to winning the game. That gives us confidence, that we know another chance will come.

Much of the league leaders’ early threat came from their full-backs, in particular Alexander-Arnold.

The Liverpool right-back conjured up memories of his performance against Watford with some of his teasing deliveries, with Joel Matip (£4.9m) wasting a free header from one Alexander-Arnold corner and Mane hitting the bar with another.

His distribution from open play was also commendable, with the England defender finding Salah in the box (who predictably took too many touches) with one pass early on and then producing a superb cross-field pass to Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) minutes later.

Robertson ought to have done better when he broke into the box on ten minutes but could only find Rico’s arms with a pass along the six-yard line.

The Scotland left-back could have had an assist himself later when Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) headed his cross over.

Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) was again prominent at set-piece situations, drawing Rico into a save with one header and very nearly capitalising when the unconvincing Fulham goalkeeper spilt a Salah shot at his feet.

Not only was there not to be any attacking returns for owners of Liverpool’s defenders, there was to be no clean sheet either.

Fulham had barely troubled Alisson (£6.0m) before their 73rd-minute leveller and the Cottagers’ goal was all Liverpool’s own making.

Milner’s skied clearance towards his own goal put van Dijk in trouble, with the Dutch centre-half producing a tame header back to a hesitant Alisson and allowing Ryan Babel (£5.5m) to almost apologetically score against his old club.

Klopp said:

We let them back a bit into the game, with counter-attacks and passing the wrong ball. It’s just the intensity of the competition, it’s nothing to do with nerves. Trent passed the ball into the middle, they get the ball, pass only one time and then Babel is against one or two [defenders]. These situations hurt, but it’s normal.

The goal they scored, I thought a little bit we begged for it – there were two or three moments where we asked for it. There were two or three moments not exactly like that but they had their best moments in that period of the game and then finally they scored.

But then I actually saw the reaction of my players and I’m really pleased with that. It was a good reaction. After they got the equaliser, we were again much clearer than we were before the equaliser. So, all good, a good reaction. Not a perfect football game but, in a difficult week for us, a sensational result.

For Fulham, this was another battling display under their interim manager.

Parker kept faith with a 4-2-3-1 set-up but brought Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.4m), Jean Michael Seri (£4.9m), Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) and Floyd Ayite (£4.3m) in at the expense of Kevin McDonald (£4.2m), Ryan Sessegnon (£6.0m), Denis Odoi (£4.4m) and Havard Nordtveit (£4.5m).

Calum Chambers (£4.2m) moved back to centre-half, meanwhile.

Manchester City next face the Cottagers in Gameweek 32 and there have been signs over Parker’s three-match reign that they won’t quite be the pushovers they were towards the end of Claudio Ranieri’s tenure.

Ultimately, though, they have shipped seven goals in three Gameweeks under Parker and rank bottom for shots on target and efforts in the box conceded during that time.

Joe Bryan (£4.8m) again impressed at left-back, however, and whoever plays on City’s right in a fortnight’s time will likely face a sterner test than their counterpart on the opposite flank.

Parker said of his side’s display and of the forthcoming clash with Pep Guardiola’s side:

First half, we set off a bit and tried to stay in the game and we worked on that this week and the second half as the game moved forward we put them under pressure and got a goal, albeit from a mistake.

We played against the best counter-attacking team in Europe, a front three which are pretty deadly. We need to stay in the game and we did that first half and there was some massive positives in the second half where the players took the front foot and we got back into the game, but it’s a shame we couldn’t hold on.

We worked all week on a gameplan, the boys have been superb in understanding and applying themselves daily and they’ve been first class. We’ll do the same for Man City.

Klopp meanwhile provided an update on Jordan Henderson (£5.3m), who missed out with an ankle injury:

Hendo will go to the national team; two or three days at Melwood to do the rehab, but it looks positive.

I think he is in contact with Gareth [Southgate] so when he can train in that moment, he will go to the national team. If he plays, Gareth will decide then, but it’s really positive.

He was still not able to play today but it was not that serious and now, in three or four days, he should be fine.

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Rico; Fosu-Mensah (Christie 74′), Chambers, Ream, Bryan; Anguissa, Seri (Sessegnon 65′); Cairney (Kebano 82′), Ayite, Babel; Mitrovic.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Lallana (Milner 73′); Salah (Sturridge 90′), Firmino (Origi 72′), Mane.

    6. Kane Toads

      Yes.... It should be called "Free Hits" as in plural.... 🙂

  3. QueefParkRangers

    Why are Hazard + Chelsea defs in FH Teams.

    I'd rather have Mane for 90mins, than Hazard for even double...

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Why not both

    2. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Have Mané then

      We’re not making you choose players that will play twice as many minutes

    3. puhd
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      A double GW and not owning Hazard could be costly.

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Having pool vs tot as opposed to a DGW player, right...

  4. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    On FH who is the better Chelsea attacker to have

    Hazard
    Higuain

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Hazard

    2. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Haz

      All the other Chelsea players need his spoon

    3. puhd
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Hazard

    4. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Haz

    5. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Is Hazard even worth it? Thinking about going without Chelsea altogether as he's a major drain on funds in a team that has Kane, Aguero and Sterling.

  5. Whazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Plan was to FH but is BB better? Got no WC so could FH for DGW35. This is pre transfer(s):

    Guaita HUD
    Kola NEW Wan-B HUD Azpi car
    Hazard car Salah TOT Mane TOT Pogba DGW
    Vardy BOU Barnes WOL King lei

    Boruc lei VVD TOT Fraser lei Pereira BOU

    How big is dgw35 looking btw?

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Not a bad shout, but you need some city.

  6. puhd
    • 9 Years

    Rashford or Lukaku?

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Tough, ideally I’d want both but if forced to choose I’d say Rashy just because big Rom has had a knock

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Rash if you can make good use of the extra funds

  7. Peter Ouch

    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    I was preparing my team for 2 months now for this blank.
    A friend of mine with 4 players with mane (c) and king outscored me for 15 points.

    Goodnight fpl

      I’ve said it multiple times over the last few weeks. This game is cruel at times and doesn’t always reward forward planning. I have similar players in my ML and it’s so frustrating.

    This is the best free hit I've stumbled on tonight.

      I had 10 starters on a -8
      3 x 1pts
      6 x 2 pts
      Saving grace was Mane Cap.
      Ended up with 41 (-8)

    • 9 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Playing round with FH and can make this team:

    Lloris (3.9)

    Walker Boly Valery (Bednarek) (3.8)

    Sterling Pogba Martial JWP (4.2)

    Kane Aguero Lukaku

    Thoughts?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      not for me at all....
      1) walker not nailed and not worth the price
      2) Lloris ? really?
      3) Martial not nailed either
      4) wolves have semis of fa cup boly rotational risk

  13. Eytexi
    • 5 Years

    Best 4.6m defender aside from Palace? Don't see any getting a clean sheet. Maybe Valery?

    Potential FH team 3-4-3, too light in def?

    Ederson

      It's too unbalanced for me....

      I think you need to ditch one of sterling hazard kun or kane...

      I'm looking as son or alli instead of kane...

  19. Yippeekiyay Mertersacker
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    I could be wrong, but it seems to me the only difference between a good GW and a bad GW this week is whether or not you captained Mane...

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      It’s more whether you even owned Mane.

      Mane plus one of King/Maddison/Rondón/Richarlison needed for a decent week

  20. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    A) Wilson - Sterling - Alli

    Or

    B) Fraser - Kun - DSilva

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      This game is made out to be a lot more complicated than it needs to be, all the sppon feeding from twitter, forums, articles etc, it’s just way over the top for a game that should be fun, but isn’t.

          Yes, if I can make 0.1 on Mane that will be very handy as a Hazard placeholder. Not that I'm convinced I should get Hazard given how Chelsea have looked of course...

            Yeah a profit out of mane would be nice but just value protection is good enough - since god knows how many transfers get made as soon as the fixtures are set in stone

      FH 32, no point.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Oh but there is

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          He will come back after FH...

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            Price game for one week hoping Mane double rise?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            I know, that is an unfortunate reality. Price drops tonight which would lose me .1

            Mane set to rise - which provides protection when players start getting shipped

            1. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 13 days ago

              FH activated in order to avoid Salah dropping too much and Mane transferred in.

  23. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Any reason not to press the free hit tonight???

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Nope

    2. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      no

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Just more time for you to think about if you want to FH or not, that’s it

  24. Lovren an elevator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    It's only a matter of time before Salah comes back right? I mean it's not like he's playing badly

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      you hold on buddy.... let us know when he s back

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      He is playing badly but he is still getting the chances.

      He will come good again at some point

    3. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      The fact that he's getting lots of chances, touches in the box and shots largely proves that the team is playing well to supply him. The fact that he's missing them all shows that he is indeed playing badly!

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        This

    4. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Had a shocker today tbf

    5. Taking one for the team
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      He was pretty awful today, getting depossessed a lot, sloppy first touch and could have passed a lot more. Worst I’ve seen him play in a while

  25. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    How's this for a FH?
    Ederson.
    Azpi, Schlupp, Valery.
    Sterling, Pogba, Hazard, Mili, JWP.
    Aguero, Kane.

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Not bad - only 1 united seems a little light?

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        It's Kane or Lukaku really.
        Lukaku allows better defence, so I'm tempted.

    2. Uncle_Sams_Army
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Better value staying clear of Hazard IMO.

  26. OleGGMU
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Thoughts on swapping robbo for TAA, i have vvd already, robbo seems to be on everything for liverpool atm , couldve hauled massively today with assists from set pieces especially.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      pointlessly sideways with doubles and blanks incoming

  27. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    16 k to 18k despite having an awful GW.... 😀

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      By definition you didn’t have an awful Gameweek

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      then it wasnt awful was it

  28. sfsfsfe

    Best sub £5m keeper for 32?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      go really cheap then- Gunn

  29. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    On my FH.... How does this look? 1m ITB

    Ederson (Norris)
    Luiz Lindelof Schlupp ( Valery) (Simpson)
    Hazard Sterling Pogba Son (Romeu)
    Aguero Rashford Jimi

    Not convinced on Jimi and Son...
    Schlupp also
    the rest I'm good with

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I’m looking at something very similar although I think I prefer a cheap keeper and city defender

  30. UKG
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Think I need to get Jiménez back in with the DGW in mind and his form, but for who:

    Rondón (great form)
    Aguero (no going anywhere)
    Wilson

    1. UKG
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Ps no FT available.

      1. UKG
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Fail, FH not FT...

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      would probably not prioritise him over city and chelsea assets

    3. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      careful... rotation ahead of cup semi finals....
