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.

      Fury on top even with the cut, if it was Wallin with the cut it might have been stopped by now imo

      Wow you must have had a nice GW.

      Could do Kun>Abraham and Mount>Son, but that seems risky. I'd check you're happy with the likes of Pope, Coleman, Soyuncu, Dunk long term. Swap 1 of them if not.

      Looks fine. See what CL brings. KDB>Son if KDB plays full 90.

      But yeah can't have them all.

        I dont see Pep rotating KDB anytime soon.

      City bounce back against poor opposition next week - if you went for that triple attack gotta stay with it for now at least.
      The bandwagon can wait a week.

    Salah to Mane gives 0.9m to play with. But Mo is a reliable © 😮
    Confusing gw for transfer decision

    1. Squeakybum99
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. That value is fantastic. I am on the same boat but don't think I'll go through with it. How was your GW?

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

        Average
        51 points with Digne Haller to go
        Salah © is main issue for me actually.

        1. Squeakybum99
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Similar mate. 50 with wilson and Digne to go and I am not even sure if and what to change. Maybe will get Tammy downgrading a defender or just do small replacements elsewhere. Next week captaincy will be another back and forth.

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

            Raz set for me.
            Hopefully won't get 90 minutes in CL
            But with loss away don't think Pep would rotate much.
            Will see.

    2. The Overthinker

      Might do it on a wc.

      Salah's record against top 6 teams is not good too

        Cheers
        With that 0.9m can do Barnes to Tammy in gw 6

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years

          Barnes looks good
          Why change

            Ha ha
            Just gutted that my rival has Tammy N i have Barnes over last 2 gw's
            I have a sneaky feeling Tammy is overperforming & will stop as soon as i get on that train 😀

      Ha ha

      Whenever i watch, Salah looks more dangerous but Mane looks more clinical

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Mane is indeed more clinical than Salah

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

          Yep
          Would you swap for 1m £ ??

    Tammy 3 shots on target and 3 goals. Plus did he get an injury as he is flagged? Will he not rise slowly now that he has a flag or it only happens for fall like in Martial case? took me lot of willpower to get him yesterday for King and give King today one last chance tonight

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He won't disappoint you

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        King ie

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

      Have you watched Chelsea games ??
      Do you think he can still be that clinical ??

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He has been getting lucky with defensive mistakes n rebounds as well but Chelsea striker at 7.3 has become an essential now

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

          But do you think he will continue to do that ??
          Read few comments that he's been very lucky

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            He finishing has been very good thou ,- think he will be this year's Jimenez

      2. Squeakybum99
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He has been a bit of both. The third goal yesterday was great whereas many has been his great ability to pounce.

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

          Strikers instinct then. Good to hear that
          Right place at right time 🙂

  12. camarozz

    My WC team

    Heaton

    TAA/Digne/Lund

    Mane/Kdb/Son/Mount/Pepe

    Pukki/Abraham

    (Pope) Hanley/Mings/Greenwood)

    Could get Ceballos instead of Pepe and have Haller over Greenwood instead.

    Thoughts??

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Only one City attack, think that could very well pay off for you when looking at what happened yesterday. KDB is the one to have.

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

        lol yeah city will continue to score only one goal a game good call

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looked at team before I read your final comment. And what I thought was Haller with a Pepe downgrade might be better. Watching both the next two days might help. But Haller is great value.

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

        Yeah I can have a look now before I decide. I'm in free fall last 3 wks. From 400k to 2m. And 78 pts off in ML.

        Had to act. Early WC always pays off for me other years.

        1. maratus
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I dont like the greenwood pick on WC, i rather have players who can do points or raise in value.
          I guess Lund&Mings&Hanley can get decent fixtures. Tho Hanley is far from nailed and Norwich def is awful. Lund wont be doing anything in next 5-8 GW´s. So you basically play Mings at back which is not that bad. I would rather have Soynchu tho than Mings.

          Great team tho, 9/10

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

            Thank you. Yeah can toy around with it. But no defenders are worth it except for TAA and Digne.

            Would you go Ceballos and Haller then on that case? Hate getting non playing players on a WC too. But Pepe could be gold and I'd be ahead of the game for once this season.

        2. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Or you can copy my current team with something like Mount to Cantwell
          Greenwood to Haller
          But a TAA downgrade 🙂

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

            No way I lose TAA. In my team since day one of last season lol.

              Fair enough just putting it out there.

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

        Which one Pepe + Greenwood in a 352

        Or Ceballos and Haller in a 343??

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I would need to watch the next couple of days football to give a credible answer tbh.
          But generally I think the team looks mint. He has to play Pepe and Ceb this week surely and that will be very informative.

  13. FOO FIGHTER

    GW5 not a happy one for City assets.

    The result yesterday Nor vs City came as an absolute shock. Pukki is going to get lots of goals at home.

    Loss of Laporte is going to hurt them and will be a massive weakness.and we could see more results like yesterday creeping up for City.

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

      Pep won't let this stand could well see Ferandinho and Walker in the centre with cancelo in too or any combination of the above.
      But if he doesn't change something it ain't good.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years

        Luckily I held on getting City defence 🙂

      Iv done it 3 wks in a row. Brought Sterling and Kane in for Salah and Auba plus Trossard/Montoya/Barkley forced me into WC last nite.

    It might be early for Maximus but like to say he was so right about Mount. Stella display. I bow my head.
    Don't wish bad on the lad but Laca out does that make Auba areal option now.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Yeah think Auba the premium fwd to have.

      You will lose the possibility of a mega score. Having said that, I am considering the same. I can't bring myself to take out Mane. The eye candy is soooooo sweeeeeeet

      1. Eleven Hag

        Do u mean I wud lose it because of no Sterling captaincy?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          correct and probably more explosive than Son
          I feel the same about the 9.5's
          Thinking of KDB captain each week.

        I want sterling, martial, mount, kdb -> KDB, Son, Pepe, Haller

          Also Auba who's stock has gone up since Laca injury

      I'd do it

          4 years, 6 months ago

          It's absolutely worth it. Especially if you have KDB/Kun. Sterling is a complete waste of money especially as many won't dare captain him for a while.

          1. Squeakybum99
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Capping him next week mate just like not capping him this week.

      • Party time

          but you know Sterling scored a hatty last time out against watford

        1. mookie
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Long term yes. As good as he is, Kun cannot outscore those two imo.
          Weird question tbh

            City defence going to be all over the show which filters through their team.

            Auba's fixtures are bang on.

            Pep cut his nose to spite his face by not starting KDB. Reckon he is the best City asset to own.

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Don't get the fascination with attackers from a Sean Dyche team honestly.

                  1. Party time
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      Lol... Me too. Someone here said he likes Dyche's attack because it is a simple 4-4-2 attack that makes Barnes essential. I don't still understand that logic

                    • Pieterke30
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      Unfair

                      Stats and eye stats make Barnes a really good pick. Ok, he blanked yesterday. But that doesnt make him a bad pick

                      1. Squeakybum99
                        • 4 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        I guess I don't see it as much. He is a good player but Burnley are always favored to get defensive points. 100% a bad pick to replace for Pukki though.

                  Sterling Salah son Lanzini

                  Button Taylor Hayden soyunchu

                  Thoughts???

                    • 6 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    One big hitter too much for me. I'd downgrade one to get in Haller/Tammy/Mount/Trent

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

                    I would avoid palace assets with those upcoming fixtures.

                    1. The Overthinker
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      No other 4.5 option..

                      1. maratus
                        • 9 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        Its a bit unbalanced team because the big hitters.
                        Playing Ayew every week with bad or nightmare fixtures is not what i would do on WC

                        1. The Overthinker

                          4 years, 6 months ago

                          Ayew won't play every week.

                          Soyunchu will be in the starting 11 from gw7

                          Taylor/Cahill/Ayew will be rotated as per fixtures

                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    One too many big guns. Lanzini as good as a footballer as he is is not an FPL asset and he won't "cover" Haller.
                    I do t know how much some of those defenders cost but there might be better options even in that cheap range.
                    Of course the attacking 7 looks great.

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

                      Well apart from Ayew. Proven not good enough in previous seasons. Fixtures bad and watching the game today a pretttt bad attitude to boot -constant mouthing off at ref - I could see yellow and red on the horizon.
                      Can you afford Haller and and decent sub 5 mil mid over Lanzini and Ayew.
                      If not just put Ayew to Greenwood and put the money into defence.

                  Team before wildcard would’ve done better than my wildcard squad. Rookie mistake should’ve thought about it a bit longer, however the team looks good for the next month or so. Not too sure what to do with Sterling

                  It is fair to say Pukki is the real deal. Season keeper.

                    • 4 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Real deal. It's not only about Pukki, has a lot to do with Norwich and their preference to play football.

                        Had a couple of headers on target. Pep should have words with both him and Stones. They were giving each other soft passes and Stones probably didn't warn him at the third goal.
