Mané brace brings Salah value into question once again

Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United

Goals: Sadio Mané (£11.5m) x 2, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) x 1 | Jetro Willems (£4.5m)

Assists: Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) x 2, Andrew Robertson (£6.9m)

Bonus Points: Mané x 3 Salah x 2 Firmino x 1

Liverpool secured a 3-1 home victory over Newcastle United to maintain their 100% winning start to the 2019/20 Premier League season.

A clinical performance from Jurgen Klopp’s side continues to fuel the fire of the Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) vs Sadio Mané (£11.5m) debate after goalscoring contributions from the attacking duo. 

The lunch-time kick-off was a game that belonged to the Senegalese international after he opened Liverpool’s account with a fine strike, which cancelled out a special effort from Jetro Willems (£4.5m).

Sadio Mané scored twice for Liverpool in their win over Newcastle

Priced at £11.5m, a whole £1.0m less than his counterpart Salah, Mané’s brace alongside three bonus points means that he has now registered two double-digit hauls in 2019/20 – the same as his team-mate.

Mané did start this match as the centre-forward but actually improved once he had returned to his left-wing berth after a tactical switch from the manager.

Despite Salah also scoring in the victory over Newcastle, Mané’s appeal simply continues to grow given his attractive price and an ability to match the £12.5m man.

For managers looking to save the extra £1.0m whilst maintaining essential attacking coverage from Liverpool, opting for Mané is becoming an increasingly enticing option.

Mané then secured his second of the afternoon after poor keeping from Martin Dubravka (£5.0m), but the forward made no mistake to tuck away an important goal.

Salah did not have a particularly impressive afternoon but still found the net against Newcastle

It was initially looking like it would prove a concerning afternoon for owners of the highly popular Egyptian, with Newcastle suppressing his attacking involvement throughout the game.

However, the most captained player for Gameweek 5 lived up to pre-match expectation with a well-taken goal to put the game out of Newcastle’s reach. 

It was a frustrating afternoon for owners of Liverpool’s full-back duo Andy Robertson (£6.9m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m), with yet another failure to keep a clean-sheet compounded by a number of missed attacking opportunities.

That said, Robertson did register his first attacking returns of the season with an assist for Mané’s opener. 

Both Robertson and Alexander-Arnold went very close to scoring on Saturday afternoon

For those managers persisting in their faith of a Liverpool defensive double-up, Saturday’s result against Newcastle is yet another blow to the viability of such a selection.

With just one clean sheet in their first five Premier League fixtures, it is becoming difficult to justify investing in more than one of their defenders.

Klopp initially surprised Fantasy managers with his team selection, starting Divock Origi (£5.4m) up-front and dropping Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) to the bench after the Brazilian finished international duty in America in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Origi only last 35 minutes against Newcastle

However, Firmino was on the pitch after 35 minutes with Origi forced off with an ankle problem.

The centre-forward made a considerable impact with an exquisite assist for Salah’s opener as well as setting up Mané to register an eight-point score from the bench. 

“We don’t want to leave Bobby Firmino out but from time to time we have to be sensible especially after long trips from wherever they come from.” – Jurgen Klopp

Despite the Belgian going off injured, Klopp did allay any concern in his post-match interviews that Origi could be out long-term. 

“Hopefully with (Origi) it’s not too serious. He twisted his ankle and played on but felt it a bit too much.” – Jurgen Klopp

Newcastle’s own attacking assets staked their claim, after Willems opened the scoring with a fine strike in the seventh minute.

After receiving a through ball from Christian Atsu (£5.4m), the full-back found space in front of Alexander-Arnold, who did not apply much pressure, and drilled an outstanding strike beyond the reach of Adrian (£4.6m).

Willems scored a spectacular goal to open the scoring at Anfield

But once Liverpool had found their momentum, there was no doubt as to which side would be collecting all three points. 

Steve Bruce set up the Tyneside outfit in a compact formation that enabled the likes of Jonjo Shelvey (£5.0m) and Miguel Almiron (£5.9m) to form counter-attacks to feed Joelinton (£5.9m), but the attacking overload that Liverpool are so often able to provide was too much for the Magpies. 

Fabian Schar (£4.5m) did leave the Anfield turf injured, but Bruce confirmed that the club was hoping it was an issue of cramp as opposed to a muscle tear. 

“It’s the calf, we’re not sure if it’s cramp or a tear. The medical department say he does suffer from cramp a little bit. We do hope it’s that.” – Steve Bruce

Whilst an upset similar to the 1-0 away win over Spurs was truly on the cards after Willems’ opener, Liverpool’s quality prevailed and the likes of Salah and Mané put Bruce’s side to the sword to continue their perfect winning start to the season. 

Newcastle’s game-plan was evident from the outset, with Steve Bruce’s setting up in a compact formation that provided abilities to break on the counter-attack, but Liverpool’s mesmeric duo in Mané and Salah proved to simply be too much for North-East side as they cruised to an impressive victory.

    Let's be honest, if I need to WC I need to do it now? Got to catch them price rises... What do we think?

      Probably no need to WC. Downgrade VVD upgrade Greenwood.

      No. Team is mostly fine.

        Thought this myself but stuck at 2.2 mil rn Hahaha. Hmmm

          I'm a bit lower than you lol, our captain picks are mostly to blame.

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years

            Devastating. I'll look out for you hahaha, got to stick with them captains 😉

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

            That and double Liverpool defence and Salah over Mane which is a possible extra 3 million. 🙂

            Preseason template failure?

            1. The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I wouldn't be doing anywhere near as badly if I didn't ship Vardy for Kane after GW2. I also got Montoya as part of that move who's got me 0 points from 3 games.

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

                Rough on Vardy

                He’s right at the top of my wish list - even ahead of TAA (Robbo of course)

                1. The Ejiptian King
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Yeah, I've wanted him back since but he's someone you have to just hold. Those moves completely messed up my team structure too because Monty wasn't the option I thought he'd be, I really should've WC'd the week after.

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

      good case for an attacking WC imo. If you still buy into preseason template hold.

      1. Tsparkes10

        Had a quick play.

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

          Really nice

          I’d still be inclined to get Auba over Pepe if possible. And I’ve just stopped being down on Chelsea! 😉 Mount is really tempting me now - might even sell Martial for him 🙂

    4. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah change it up

  2. Zladan

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Will Hanley get his place back?

  3. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Reckon Barnes will drop this week? Already gone down about 50% on fplstats, I'm probably bringing him in.

        Do you see better options on4. 5 Defs?

    2. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No Pukki?

      1. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nope

        His criteria was "Gameweek 5 Dream Team"

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like Zinch or Tomori on the bench. And 2 4.5 forwards. Zinch downgrade and maybe upgrade a defender

    4. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don't play 4 defenders

    5. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Chelsea defence is hopeless stay well clear

    1. WVA

      A wildcard with no Abraham and KDB.... What is the point

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I had KDB.
        He has, now, become a rotation risk.
        Abraham is, also a risk, for rotation.
        I don't follow Chelsea's games, but I'm led to believe that he is subbed, regularly.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      no TAA start again 😉

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Back line is horrible. Rest looks ok. Salah and De Bruyne could be sorely missed.

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Salah won't be missed as long as you have mane.

    4. Mike2795647

      Mount over tielemans

      1. C'mon the Fylde

        Cheers, guys.
        I'll be tinkering throughout the week.

    5. Mike2795647
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Just make sure you start with players likely to rise in price so less chance of missing out by a cheeky £0.1

    6. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero will get limited min now jesus is back

  8. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Some thoughts, please: is Greenwood to Abraham (will then be front 3 of Pukki, Abraham and Barnes), enabled by VVD to Maitland Niles (I currently have double Pool Def with TAA & VVD) knee jerk or reasonable?

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

      Seems reasonable although I'm not sure about Arsenal defence but then I'm not sure about any defence

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This. Effing nightmare, at the mo.

      2. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks - exactly my conundrum - I loaded up on defense this season, but don't seem to be getting value. Arsenal defense is suspect, but they honestly have just about the most appealing run of games coming up...I'm just not sure if Maitland-niles is secure once some of the injuries start clearing.

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

          I wouldn't bring in AMN now. Bellerin is back in full training so only a matter of time before he's back in the team.

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

            Thanks - I'm not that clued-up on the Arsenal team, so wasn't sure who was competing for that position with AMN. Might look at one of the Burnley defenders then, or even Soyuncu

        2. Lemongrab
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          But I'm considering similar - Robertson to Otamendi (second doubts after today haha) and Greenwood to Abraham

  9. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Martial to Cantwell?

  10. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Cantwell likely to rise in price? Because I could still bring Tammy in even if he rises, but I can't do it if Cantwell rise as well.

    1. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Won’t happen today

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tammy will rise today.

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Abraham is a must. I did say this two days ago

  11. F4L
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    that Auba/Son captaincy rotation looks tasty for a long time. hmmmm

  12. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anybody got the averages, please? 🙂

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      Sorry Doos, however Adrian si really an average keeper, I know he is your favorite though

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        You can say that, and I respect it. But, frankly, Liverpool's defensive organisation is nothing short of shameful. I have no idea what Klopp is thinking. He needs to put Trent into the midfield and play Gomez right back.

        Adrián is a BRILLIANT keeper!!! 😀

  13. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years

    Too soon for a wc RMT?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      not too soon

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    VVD and Wickham out

    Tammy and Lundstram in

    Tammy and Souyuncu in

    What do you suggest?

    I have double Liv defense together with TAA and looks like they won't get too many CS's in the near future.

    team in the link.

    please advise

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Keep VVD, get Tammy. Lundstram ship sailed weeks ago.

    2. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would bin off VVD until Alisson is back

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I don't have other way and money to get Tammy otherwise.

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Abraham anyway

  15. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Heaton
    TAA VVD Montoya (Lundstram Kelly)
    Salah Sterling KDB Dilva Cantwell
    Haller Pukki (Ayew)

    so annoyed that getting Dilva put me 9-points worse off, but nothing I can do about it now - thinking VVD -> Digne this week?

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      With the transfers ive seen you make, your team must be down the drain

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        that is the team I've just posted, it could be better not gonna lie

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          4 of my GW4 players did get injured tbf

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I wonder if Monty will be fit and comes straight back in away to Newcastle.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Lundstram will come in anyway, I've taking 20 points worth of hits so far and this week's ones backfired horribly, so only gonna make 1FT this week 😀

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne will be in the top 3 defenders this year and at 6.1 I think k he's good value

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        ta

  16. The Left Duke #3

    Forgive my ignorance but how is Salah -2 on FPL stats website when he was + 90 earlier today....and he scored and Lpool dominated ???

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      he has more transfers out than it.

      People buying Mane and Son

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Is that all it boils down to, transfer out v in . Interesting. I’m sticking with salah for the season bar injury but kind of mad to see that kind of drop.

      2. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Who wouldn't buy mane. He's great value

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mane

    3. TorresMagic™

      Deadline.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        TM you saying when the deadline passed and people started transferring him out for Mane for example, his Target on FPL stats plummets that drastically? Just never seen it drop that much.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          It happened earlier in the international break for a few hours then he reappeared in the 90s again.
          Maybe the same thing has happened today.

      Think the result will unsettle things, specially with CL starting

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years

        So what's your answer to the question?

    1. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      You still don’t have Pukki?

    So my 11m CDM Spurs is going for a FWD, who, Tammy seems irresistible at present.
    IF Ceballos fails tomorrow will allow swap to Son?

    Good or Bad moves?

    Pope
    Virgil, Digne, Lundstram, Trent
    Salah, Sterling, Ceballos, Mount,
    Pukki, Kane,

    Button, Cantwell, Montoya, Greenwood

        Auba won’t allow two upgrades 🙂

          I advised someone that Son had a good record against Palace lol, shame I don't follow my own advice.

    9m for 2 defenders , who to get ?

  25. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    After your much appreciated suggestions, I'm down to three options for this lot:
    Heaton
    TAA, VVD, Maguire, Coleman, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Mount, Dendo
    Vardy, Pukki, Greenwood

    A) Martial, Greenwood out / Cantwell, Abraham in for a hit

    B) Wildcard to:
    Pope
    TAA, Digne, Soyuncu / Mings, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Lanzini / Cantwell
    Vardy, Abraham, Pukki

    C) Sit tight for now

    (People seemed to favour A)

    1. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A should do it

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nice! Cheers!

    An Arsenal win tomorrow and the top 8 in the PL table will look very familiar.

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      it already is

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      And a Auba hatty

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Then your wake up

  27. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Am I close to needing to WC?

    Ryan
    Coleman VanDijk Otamendi
    Cantwell Salah McGinn Sterling KDB
    Wesley Kane

    Button Lundstram Greenwood Kelly

    1. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      More than close

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      What would the WC team be?

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No. Ryan, Wesley, Kane --> Pope, Pukki, Abraham

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Would you just do Kane + Wesley -> Pukki + Abraham

    4. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd say so.

  28. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ederson - Button
    TAA - VVD - Digne - Soyuncu - Hanley
    Salah - Sterling (c) - KDB - Cantwell - Dendoncker
    Haller - Pukki - Greenwood

    2 FT & 0.1 ITB

    Thinking of maybe losing Ederson to free up some funds elsewhere, anyone else have any decent suggestions? A little stuck at the moment.

    So, Sterling scores his hat trick in gameweek 1 which Aguero was on the bench to start since then when they have both been on the pitch Agüero has destroyed him! Anyone thinking the same?? Sterling and Wickham to Agüero and Cantwell switch from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3??

    1. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      false narrative

      Sterling sucked today

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good tbh.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’m extremely tempted mate!! I like the benifts of have both Aguero and Cantwell rather than just Sterling essentially

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No be a due Aguero will share min with jesus now he's back, especially with CL coming up.

    Steady those knees chaps, I too have had a stinker of a week. But, still games to go and European football don’t waste your FT for a mere 0.1
