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.

    Digne may actually be the only premium defender worth having.

    £7m is a lot for TAA if no cleanies are forthcoming.

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They’ll surely start coming. And he was unlucky not to get attacking returns today

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      0.29 xG for Newcastle today. Scored from their only shot on target. Still looks an improvement from the early weeks. Also, TAA got close to scoring twice.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure you didn't watch liverpool game today

    4. Jolly Good
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tbh TAA is way more attacking than most mids... he’ll get enough attacking returns to justify his price without a CS.... the CS would be bonuses.. and there will be many ...

    5. Peter Ouch
      • 6 Years

      Someone didn't watch the game today

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I saw first half.

        Half tempted to WC, but got 2FT so will downgrade Laporte.

        At this point, though, I think Greenwood needs to be rid of in my team as he’s going to contribute nothing this season and is wasting a valuable striker spot.

  2. Clarity
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    2FT, thinking of doing Kane to Abraham to catch rise, too early? Have extra free transfer just in case need to sort out an injury

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is Abraham injured?

      1. Clarity
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Knock apparently yeah

        1. AriseSirGiggsy
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Just watching it on game of the day and the injury was caused from the way he landed when jumping for a header and he came off rather gingerly

          I was all set to bring him in but I’m concerned now..
          Have we had any comments on it from fat frank?

      2. syke63
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        At the time it was said he had cramp.

      3. Shineonme
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No he's not injured. He had cramp.

    2. FPL_WILDCARD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn’t do it. Not this early anyway. And next weeks fixtures Kane has the better

  3. Dakers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bit stuck on what to do here.
    WC intact, £1.7m ITB.
    Would like to bring Son in but hard to do atm. Also really want Abraham on this form, but Liverpool immediate fixture and Barnes still has good fixtures.

    Help appreciated! 🙂

    Pope (Button)
    TAA Digne Zinchenko Lundstram (Rico)
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount (Dendoncker)
    Pukki Barnes (Greenwood)

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Can you afford Salah + Greenwood > Son + Pepe?

      1. AriseSirGiggsy
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dendonker. Not Greenwood*

        1. Dakers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Nope, can do Salah Dendoncker to Son 9.2

      2. Dakers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I mean that doesn’t work, though. And it leaves me no Liverpool attackers

        1. AriseSirGiggsy
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You said yourself Liverpool fixtures not good.
          Who scores more poor points

          A) Salah + Lundstram (Shef U also bad fixtures)
          B) Son + Pepe

          ?

          1. Dakers
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I didn’t say that. I made the point that Abraham plays Liverpool next.

            And I can’t afford Son Pepe I said above

    2. *sigh*
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes to Abraham and relax

      1. Dakers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Surely not, at least yet? Just brought Barnes in this week for that good fixture run.

        1. 7rjngs lollygagger
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          How good is that run when you consider how few goals Burnley score? Also note they’ll be playing teams who customarily finish above them in the next few Norwich apart.

          1. Dakers
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Surely smart to wait a week and then bring in Abraham after pool for Barnes if he fails again?

      2. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Before Barnes has Norwich at home for Tammy who is against Pool?

        1. Dakers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That’s what I’m saying. It looks the obvious way to get Abraham, but surely not this week?

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would save.

      1. Dakers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Tempted by that just now despite disappointment (assuming no midweek injuries), and then maybe Barnes to Abraham for GW7 if anything

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Salah, Greenwood to Mané, Barnes

    1. Twisted Melon
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No

  5. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    A few pages back I read a really interesting option.

    Mane AND salah no Sterling

    Thoughts?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling vs Watford next

      1. 7rjngs lollygagger
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Possibly

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me with those upcoming fixtures

    3. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No way. I'd rather have sterling and mane even if all three players were the same price

    4. syke63
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Unless you had Kun and KdB it would be risky.

  6. Amey
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Have 2 FT & not sure what to do with it 😀
    Won't mind a Injury Midweek. Might help doing the transfer

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That’s what I’m saying too... mainly salah kdb Sterling would be the ones though

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ha ha

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 7 Years

      Same boat (below)

      Not sure what to do but not really getting anywhere so far OR-wise

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yep
        Might have to take a punt to rise rapidly.
        I got upto 700k this gw from 1.08m

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Nice jump!

          I barely moved and stuck around 500k. Obviously early days tho.

          Need to do some more research on a calculated punt as it’s too early in season for crazy moves!

          1. Amey
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah

  10. The Mighty Hippo
    • 8 Years

    I've got 2 ft. How does this mini wildcard look....yes or no?

    VVD / Salah / Greenwood - - > Pieters / Mane / Abraham

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Personally don’t like it, the pieters puts me off

    2. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If it was me I would

  11. FPL_WILDCARD
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This ok for a potential WC team?

    Pope
    TAA, Vertonghen, Digne (Lundstram, Rico)
    Mane, Sterling, Son, Ceballos, Cantwell
    Firmino, Abraham (Greenwood)

    One City player worries me though...

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    Another mediocre week, another tiny green arrow. 47pts moving me from 593k to 544k OR.

    I guess I should be happy it’s not a red but it feels oh so boring. With 2FT and my WC still in hand, feeling like I need to shake things up but not sure where to focus. Any ideas?

    2FT 0.5itb
    Heaton
    VVD, Zinch, Digne, AWB
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount
    Pukki, Haller
    (Button) (Lunds, Dendo, Greenwood)

    Thanks

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 13 Years

      Sterling > Cantwell
      Greenwood > Aguero

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting move but think I’m happy with Sterling for now. Having such a (relatively) week mid would make me nervous

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Zinch > 4.0
      Greenwood > Tammy

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well short (-0.7) of that move unfortunately!

    3. 7rjngs lollygagger
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Defence to attack is the obvious call

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed but for who?

        I’d need 2.2m to upgrade Greenwood to Abraham

        Not possible to generate that!

  13. Lord of Ings

    Guys best under 5m defender for next week and forthcoming weeks? (Upto 5m)

    1. have you seen cyan

      Maybe Aurier but risk of rotation is high

  14. mrtapio

    From 2.7m OR to 700K OR with a -8. Feel I'm back in the game!

    1. Stokelona

      An attacking WC it would be. You’d need to be prepared to ditch preseason template thinking to make it worthwhile.

    What a dreadful day today has been, it had so much promise for a high scoring GW. Can't believe I'm on 39 with Digne to go with the fixtures that have been played

    1. FPL_WILDCARD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m on 41 with just King and Ceballos to play. Dreadful week too

  21. Mr. Mystic

    1FT: Ings -> Abraham or Barnes?

  22. FPL Bargain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dunk and Barnes out for
    Abraham and Rico?

    1. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes I would. Abrahams rising tonight and maybe will rise again before the next GW

      1. FPL Bargain
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the encouragement

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      I would keep barnes

      1. FPL_WILDCARD
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Likewise. Would keep Barnes over Abraham for next week

  23. Adam Johnson
    • 5 Years

    Is Otamendi's position now in doubt?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Of course.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably

    3. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Should be. Fernandinho makeshift CB?

      1. Adam Johnson
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but an article on the scout recently showed the only other player currently on City's team with Laporte out that has played LCB is Garcia.

    4. Ser Davos
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No CBs other than himself and Stones. Not convinced Rodri, Walker or Fernandinho are going to be chucked in there.

      He should get chance to redeem.

  24. Adam Johnson

    Is Tammy's so called injury just cramp?

    1. WWF
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Other way round ... they're covering up his injury, calling it just cramp. I'd sell him personally!!!

  25. chasedreamz

    Activated Wild Card last week, Current Squad is

    Adrian
    Lundstran , Lowton, Otamendi , Dunk
    Guendouzi , Mane, Salah, Sterling,
    Pukki , Aguero

    Bench : Cantewell, Ayew, Kelly

    Base of team compromised to fit 2 big combos. (Salah+Mane and Aguero+Sterling)

    Should i go --> Aguero + Kelly to Vardy+Abraham ?

    any other suggestions?

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’d rather have Aguero than sterling

  26. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Triple captained Aguero and benched Cantwell gutted!

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      Ouch.. 33 gw to come.

      1. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Tell me about it wish I'd have gone with my head and removed it oh well could have easily gone the other way!

    Abraham brutalizing my rank lol.

    With Mount also in my team facing Liverpool next week while Barnes (who I just brought in) plays Norwich though, can’t really bring myself to do Barnes to Abraham, at least til GW7.

    1.7m so can take the price rises even though it’d suck.

    My quick WC team. Like 2mins work

    Heaton(Pope)

    TAA/Digne/Lund(Dunk/
    Soyuncu)

    Mane/Kdb/Son/Mount/
    Ceballos

    Haller/Pukki/Abraham

    0.3 itb.

    Shoot....

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Go set and forget keeper. Defence fine. Would go Barnes over Haller.

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who are your captains?

  29. Ser Davos
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Long time since I recall the game being this tough.

    Points dodging at its finest by missing out on Abraham, Mount and Son and the combo of VVD, Salah, Sterling (C) and KDB starving points today.

    I then try and build a WC side and I'm none the wiser.

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same with ya mate! Had Mount, but same boat otherwise.

      Have WC but not many obvious changes - just want Son and Abraham, but can’t bring myself to drop Salah Sterling KDB Barnes Pukki

      1. Ser Davos
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, perhaps we bleed points and rank for the forseeable and once things are clearer we can use that WC to better advantage.

    Still holding Martial. Is he worth taking a stake on him playing next gw?

      Too many good mids to get.
