How has Firmino compared to Salah and Mané so far this season?

Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) has made a strong start to the season with two goals and two assists in the first four Gameweeks.

That has made for a total of 27 points, two more than colleague Sadio Mané (£11.5m) and nine short of Mohamed Salah (£12.5m).

Such a score after four matches is made all the more impressive when we consider that Firmino is now by far the cheapest attacking option in Liverpool’s FPL ranks.

The Brazilian represents a £3.0m saving compared to Salah, and can also offer £2.0m in cash compared to Mané.

Despite his potential value, he currently sits in just 11.7% of teams while Mané is owned by 18.9% and Salah 42.9%.

With that in mind, we have assessed whether more Fantasy managers should turn to Firmino from Gameweek 5 onwards.

    Thoughts on VVD to TAA if nothing pressing?
    Can also do Zinc to TAA but it restricts squad strength/bench going forward

      yes if you have 2ft, if on 1 ft i'd save

        1ft. But TAA rise would limit some future options, like Den to Ceballos.

        This. Unless you’re going to lose an FT I would just save.

    Hello all, constantly changing my wildcard team around and here is something that I have come up with, I like this team a lot, few punts in Son and Ceballos. Feel like Spurs and Arsenal have good fixtures and are about to explode. Thoughts?

    Pope
    TAA / Digne / Otamendi
    Sterling / Mane / Son / James / Ceballos
    Abraham / Haller

    Button / Lowton / Lund / Ayew

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I like it a lot. It’s different enough from the usual templates we see but you’ve got enough solid players to back up your differentials.

    2. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Seems like punty wildcard excluding Salah & KDB ,could work though.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Like it a lot

      I’d be tempted to KdB Vardy over Sterling Tammy if that adds up - think it does. Think they’re the best two value premiums in the game. You’d need to be happy captaining KdB

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

        Looks strange perhaps but held for a while I’d have KdB Vardy scoring better than Sterling Tammy

  3. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Suggest me the best one:

    A)KWP(hold) + James
    Or,
    B)Iwobi + otamendi (-4)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Farke in hell
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I transferred out KWP for Tarkowski.

    Repost Gents want to get Abraham/Vardy later on but don't know what to do here for now
    Captain ?
    Henderson
    Dunk. Guilbert. Lowton
    Sterling. KDB Salah. Mount
    Kun. Haller. Joeilinton
    ####Cantwell. Rico. Kelly
    0.0 itb
    Thanks all

  5. simong1

    Best option here? Or any other suggestions? 1 FT, 0 ITB. Thanks.

    A) AWB > Matip/Maitland Niles
    B) AWB & Jota > Guilbert & Haller (-4)
    C) AWB & Jota > Maitland Niles & Barnes (-4)

    Pope - Button
    AWB - VVD - Digne - Zinchenko - Lundstram
    Sterling - KDB - Salah - Martial - Dendocker
    Pukki - Jota - Greenwood

    RMT WC
    Adrian / Button - Adrian to Pope GW 6
    Digne / Otamendi / Alderweireld / Lowton (Soyuncu)
    Martial / De Bruyne / Sterling (Hayden, Guendozi)
    Abraham / Kane / Wilson

    I have 1m in the bank. Thinking of going De Bruyne to Son and Kane to Aguero, thoughts?

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I dont like booking in transfers, just get pope in now.

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

      kdB is the one City asset I’d want most - still great value at 9.8.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I have kun sterling and kdb

        Really don’t want to lose any of them.

        I’d love to have dilva too!

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

          Pondering a Sterling to Dilva move down the line as a half possible - 5 mill or so goes a looooong way - don’t especially mind the occasional benching

          Sterling McGinn
          Dilva Son and a fair bit of change

          Son would need to be firing for me to come close to jumping on it mind

    3. Bojos Brexit Boys
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Same Front 3 as me, your team is looking good, no need to change. Kane and Sterling Can swap captaincy for the next plenty gameweeks perfectly

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      KdB out haha. Good luck with that!

  7. FPL Doctor
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What to do here? 2FTs 0.2 ITB

    Ryan (button)
    Coleman Robbo Lund (Cathcart Diop)
    Salah Sterling McGinn Martial* Trossard*
    Pukki Kane (Greenwood)

    Not loving my defence, want KdB but have money tied up in Kane, Injury concerns with Martial and Trossard

    help needed

    1. Link
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kane and Martial to KDB and Haller? (Not checked if that's possible price wise)

      1. Davros
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This if poss

      2. FPL Doctor
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        thanks. Get rid of Kane before CRY though?

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

          Check out Palace away record! The Spurs game is generally a tight one - a 2-1 sort of affair.

          Given the choice I’d be on Auba not Kane this week.

          I’d look at Vardy KdB from Kane Martial as an option. Though Haller is also a good call.

  8. Cheshire Duck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 6 months ago

    WC team, any opinion ?
    Pope - Button
    TAA - Zinchenko - Soyuncu - Engels - Lundstram
    Salah - Sterling - KDB - Mcginn - James
    Pukki - Haller - Ayew

    1. Link
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd be very tempted to turn Zinc into Digne by downgrading Ayew assuming you plan to bench him every week

  9. Davros
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    On a WC and trying to decide between
    A) Vardy and Pieters
    B) Haller and Digne

    Same price...

    1. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 6 months ago

        B

      • Link
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        B. Think Digne is a must

        1. Davros
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers this is what I’m on at the mo. Might switch to Vardy after next two fixtures...

      • footballfreak
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        B

    2. Link
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Heaton
      Trent, Digne, Zinc, Zouma (4)
      Salah, Raz, KDB, Ceballos (Donk)
      Rashford, Pukki (4.5)

      A. Zouma to Tark/Lowton
      B. Rashford to Haller/Barnes
      C. -4 for both with a possibility of Vardy

      (Currently thinking A but it's a bit boring)

      1. Davros
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Depends what you would do with money from B. On face of it, MU has nice fixtures so you could lose out.
        Personally, I don’t think he’s worth the money yet, especially as he’s not on pens. Would prefer Barnes/Haller and upgrade elsewhere

        1. Link
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I imagine the money saved would go on either upgrading Ceballos or moving to a 343 eventually. Should no more over next 2 weeks of Ceb will be a regular starter (and good pick)

    3. BARIO MALOTELLI
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Would you transfer out Zaha? And which replacemant if yes ? Thanks

      1. BARIO MALOTELLI
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I have 1ft

    4. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Feels like you can't have Salah+Aguero/Sterling+KDB and another premium

      So if on a WC who would *you* drop to accommodate someone like Pepe/Son/Vardy to try and get ahead?

    5. New Post
    6. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Best 4.0 defender?

      1. Dion D's Solo Shower
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Might be Hanley at this point.

    7. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is a Liverpool defensive double-up with Van Dijk and Matip a bad idea?
      Other option is getting Ota, but feel like Pool will get a CS against Newcastle while Norwich might score, at home, against a City defence made up of Stones & Ota.

      Any thoughts?

    8. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      10 goals in 59 apps for Schar. (Club & Country)

      I know he's probably too expensive for a Newcastle defender, but those are impressive stats for a defender. Might end up punting on him when Newcastle's fixture's get good.

    9. Bojos Brexit Boys
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      RMT

      Pickford (button)

      TAA Stones Walker Keane (kelly)
      Sterling Maddison Mount Barkley (cantwell)
      Kane Abraham Wilson

      All English.

      Vardy on the radar after next few fixtures, also looking at burley duo tark & pope

      No free transfers, wildacard used and 16 points burned already (oops)

    10. SidL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Laporte out

      Who to get? Stones or Otamendi? Or Walker?
      Digne is an option too.
