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.

    Top 30k even though I played Trossard and captained KDB. The trick? Pukki, Cantwell, Haller, Abraham, Son.

    KdB or Son?

    1. Joyce1998
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      kdb for me

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards

      KDB

    3. Soto Ayam
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son or Pepe?

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

        My dilemma before this gameweek starts, went for pepe. Might regret it if he doesn't haul like son

        1. Soto Ayam
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Hopefully he will. It's a tough call between the two. Hopefully he's found his feet in the IB. Son's haul yesterday does have me second guessing Pepe, and he has better fixtures immediately. Pepe's in a more attacking team and on free kicks??m

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

            I hope so mate. Well the reasons i went with pepe are:
            1. He face watford with leaky defense and i dont expect palace to concede that many goals
            2. Only face one big 6 in the upcoming fixture
            3. He's a bit of punt for me lol

            1. Soto Ayam
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, son's performance has thrown a real spanner in the works. He is la bit of a punt, but could be highly profitable especially considering arsenal's dreamy fixtures. I'll be watching intently tonight for sure. Good luck!

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

                Yeah that's what i'm hoping for. Good luck for you too mate!

      I see where you’re coming from, and I could do something similar, but I wouldn’t. Hold firm.

      B, especially if there's a defender who can come in for Cantwell now and then.

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      B

    Any reason not to bring in Lundstram?

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years

      Wouldn't spend an FT on him this week.

    2. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Fixtures are a bit meh if you’re using a FT for it.

      Was he any good today?

          Understandable then.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all. It's a 2FT job to bring in Tammy before price rises.

      He'll play next week against Everton, then likely sit on bench. Just wanted to make sure he's not likely to be benched or some injury for which he wasn't flagged.

    Last minute change of Salah captain to Sterling and having Greenwood over Cantwell on first bench to replace Montoya cost me 13 freaking points

    5 wrong choices in a row. Complete contrast to last season, had a good run then 🙁 ahh well. Hopefully team starts performing soon

    Do these for free?
    Robertson/VVD->AWB

      Just got em in thanks.

      Are price changes a bit later this season?

        About 15 minutes later than usual.

      Woke from my slumbers to bin TAA and 4.4 for Tammy and Kelly (-4).

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

        Risqué

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'll sleep better now! Plus better team balance.

      2. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, not sure about getting rid of TAA.

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Have Matip as enough Liv defence on a budget.

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

            It's the attacking points though, not the defensive coverage. I think TAA could be one of the highest scoring players in his price point by end of season.

            1. Je suis le chat
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Feel he might be rotated, can always get back at a later stage.

              1. Eddie

                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Fair enough, if rotated regularly that could kill him as an option.

    No idea how to use my transfers. Kinda want son, but that means downgrading Haller and playing cantweel every week. Is that my best bet? Spurs have great fixtures.

      Even 7.5m before BRI, sou, NEW is worth, if he keeps it up.

      Wait and see for me, especially with CL thrown in, real winners bought before SHU.

        Yeah, agree with you there pal. Barnes gets another chance I think - no point swapping NOR for LIV fixturewise, and gives another week to reassess.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea

          triple rise this game week for Tammy ?

      Dendoncker to cantwell would be a shrewd move

        Yeah, wasnt great but at least it makes my mediocre GW score look a little better 😉

    2. Mondeo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jia - I know you love a bit of steering away from LIV mids!

      Your team looks an absolute beauty. Have also done the un-thinkable and pulled the pin on Mane > Son (to fund Abraham). Am hoping it sets me up with some differentials + a shield against Europe rotation.

      You reckon we'll need a big couch between now and GW13?

      1. jia you

        think we will be fine until the fixture shift...GL

    Current Team-
    Ryan.
    Robertson, Coleman, VVD.
    Sterling, Cantwell, Ceballos, Salah.
    Pukki, King.
    Button, Lundstram, A Smith, Wickham.
    1FT, 2.0m ITB.
    A very bad GW followed by a brutal GW!

    1. WC and just be done with it. (Make wholesale changes including ridding of the double Liv defence).
    2. Abraham-> King and sit with that.
    3. Other moves with a hit etc.

    1. Sz21

    TM, you made 2 moves already then? Mad stuff with midweek games,
    No?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      GW3 was the same, just had a WC for cover. Good week so continue the momentum.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        what moves did u make?

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

        Fair, I suppose.

        Guessing you maybe did Aguero Wickham to Abraham and someone from your posts... could come good. Think I’m gonna give Barnes another week and maybe move on Tammy if it still looks the move then. Can afford it

    2. FPL Virgin

      Shocking FPL management. Big games with huge FPL consequences from Sunday to Thursday this week.

      1. Klein
        • 9 Years

        Still ahead by a million ranks though.

        1. FPL Virgin

        Only have Digne left in FPL.
        Shocking is being nearly 2m and playing 532 including Lundstram and Jota with a wildcard.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You have completely fluked your gameweek 2 wildcard. If it wasn't for today, you would have given anything to get your wildcard back. Even Adam Hopcroft on WGTA said that the gameweek 2 wildcard was a massive howler

          1. Nabs Kebabs

            It was GW3. Kane was the main thing wrong with it over Aguero.

            Dude, just a quick word of advice if I may, you pay too much attention to what "pundits" say. The game has changed and most of them are struggling as much as the next guy. There is a plethora of information now and it's not like anyone has a secret formula anymore, maybe a few years ago yes but not now. There used to be a small sample of managers who have educated methodologies that are worth listening to, but not now with my colleagues who are not aware of any sites or twitter accounts fighting till the season end and getting good ranks. There is too much information already available that you only need your gut/vision to differentiate yourself from the rest, and no one can teach you football vision. I think it's time you stopped treating some people as if they have PhDs in FPL.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              This. Most of the patient managers are struggling to get good ranks these days. Look at Ville Ronka, even he is struggling and is renowned for his patience. He seems to have actually adapted his approach this season, taking a few hits already.

                noticed that as well. 3 straight -4's for ville. Yes I've been looking at other teams- I feel like FPL is such a lottery these days. To produce a string of green arrows just seems like luck. There's so many people playing the game these days, I feel like getting a good GW rank is just so random now.

    So with champs league about to swing in full speed is it best to let go of kdb? With his long injury history last year dont think pep will want to play him twice in a week.

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

      Repeats of yesterday then.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why would it be ‘best’ to let go of KDB, what possible assured reasoning could you have to offload him?!

    Premier league games tomorrow l

    Premier league game on Monday.

    Champions league Tuesday.

    Champions league Wednesday.

    Europa league Thursday.

    Fpl deadline Friday.

    Anyone who made early transfers tonight is clearly a casual.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      or anyone owning Perez and Jota?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Every FPL pundit with a half decent track record will tell you that patience is the most important thing in FPL.

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Perez will score one day.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s a valid point. Certainly playing with fire

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      a good week for early moves with a WC to sort out any injuries if necessary - it’s a great tactic over the IB or a congested mid week

      The clever players probably picked up a couple of price rises going early too .... snooze and you lose

    4. Crisnel Ronessi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ok.

    1. luk46

      Could give Wood the next game, I would try to get another decent defender in somehow

  25. Nabs Kebabs
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    @FPL Virg...what a load of bollocks you are talking mate. Your patient approach has left you with the likes of Jota and Perez. The patient managers are getting left behind.

  26. FPL-(VAR)dy

    The sterling captaincy blanks are really frustrating.

    Especially when my vc has always been outscoring my c all along.

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

      Finally my captain beat vc.

  29. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years

    Went down from 990163 to 2,156,488.

    Beat this 😀

    1. The Overthinker

      Also which is the website which shows the difference between ranks?

  30. Feanor
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I did Salah to Mané. Should have done last night when I was still on my WC.
