Salah and de Bruyne sold by chunk of top 10k managers this week

A chunk of high ranking Fantasy Premier League managers opted to sell Kevin de Bruyne (£10.0m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) for Gameweek 8.

The Manchester City midfielder was ruled out of the meeting with Wolves this weekend after suffering a groin injury against Everton.

Manager Pep Guardiola described the issue as “not serious” this week and seemed optimistic that de Bruyne would be back after the upcoming international break.

However, that relatively positive update on the player was not enough for a sizeable portion of managers currently ranked inside the top 10,000 places worldwide.

Going into Gameweek 7, de Bruyne was sat in 85.8% of teams at this level, more than any other Fantasy asset.

However, his ownership in the top 10k dropped to just 59.9% for the Gameweek 8 deadline.

That represents an ownership drop of 25% at this level of the game.

Some of that might be influenced by a change of personnel inside the top 10k, but considering de Bruyne scored nine points against Everton, it seems unlikely that many teams without him earned green arrows into the upper echelons.

Considering the Belgian international was sold by 795,000+ managers worldwide for Gameweek 8, it seems likely that his drop in top 10k popularity was heavily influenced by these sales.

The Fantasy community will almost certainly be holding its collective breath over the international break as we await further information on de Bruyne’s recovery – so it will be interesting to see how much ground can be gained by this chunk of managers as they go without him for at least Gameweek 8.

All eyes will be on de Bruyne’s fitness situation after the international break

Another premium option moved on by this season’s highest-ranking Fantasy managers was Liverpool man Salah.

He was sat in just 54% of top 10k teams at the Gameweek 8 deadline, a drop of 16% from the 66.1% recorded ahead of Gameweek 7.

Those sold the Egyptian for Gameweek 8 breathed a sigh of relief on Saturday afternoon as Liverpool were largely restricted by Leicester City.

The Reds did win the match courtesy of a James Milner (£5.3m) penalty but it was scored after Salah had come off with a knock.

Whether he would have taken it had he still been on the pitch is hard to say given that Milner has historically taken spot-kicks even when sharing the field with Salah.

The injury did not look too serious at the time and he will have an international break without any match duties to recover.

However, Jurgen Klopp did seem angry about the challenge on him from Hamza Choudhury (£4.5m) and did not paint a positive picture.

“How can he be okay? He was limping from the pitch and you ask me if he’s okay! How can he be okay?! Did you watch it back? Watch me, what do you think?” – Jurgen Klopp

With De Bruyne and Salah both losing support among the top 10k, it is interesting to see which premium options increased in popularity for Gameweek 8.

It appears one of the most common recipients of those players’ funds was Raheem Sterling (£12.1m).

The England international’s popularity within the top 10k rose from 30.6% to 38.2% for Gameweek 8.

However, Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) also saw a dip in popularity for this weekend, dropping from 52% ownership in the top 10k for Gameweek 7 to just 40.5% for Gameweek 8.

To see where some of these funds have been moved to, a look at the Gameweek 8 Wildcard template among the top 10k gives us some clues.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s (£11.0m) recent form has convinced 49.8% of managers at this level who Wildcarded this week to include him in their squad ahead of Bournemouth’s trip to the Emirates Stadium.

Also included among the most popular Wildcard targets was Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m) selected by 36.2% of top 10k Wildcarders for Gameweek 8.

The absence of de Bruyne from this selection shows that the Algerian has been pounced upon as a short-term opportunity while the Belgian is out.

Despite Aubameyang’s popularity on those Wildcards, and being signed by 210,000+ managers worldwide, for Gameweek 8, the top 10k were not particularly interested in him for the captaincy this week.

It was a close-run thing for the most popular captain in the upper echelons of the world rankings, Aguero and Sterling both backed by a similar amount.

It was the Argentinian who topped the charts for top 10k captains, 23.5% of them handing him the armband for that meeting with Wolves.

Meanwhile, 22.5% placed the armband on Sterling and 13.9% went for Salah.

Aubameyang did not appear in the top three and made up the 40.1% chunk representing ‘Other’ captains.

Aubameyang was captained by just 13% of managers in the top 10k in Gameweek 8, while 6.8% went for Teemu Pukki (£7.2m) and 4.5% backed Harry Kane (£11.0m).

Finally, another look at general chip usage among the top 10k shows that they are becoming more and more a reliable test of high performance.

40% of the managers at this level are yet to use a chip this season, while 37.1% of them have played just one.

According to the breakdown, it is the Wildcard that remains the most popular, used by 39.5% so far.

        I’ve played the defenders he has benched. Weird

        Also odd that he is carrying Martial. What’s the point?

            I feel like he does this every year. 6-7 rounds with one poor decision after another, then he goes on an insane run which puts him right up there in top 10k

              u think so
              i really used to enjoy his advice and thought process helped me alot
              he did take punts that were made fun off on the scourcast and he would have drops but ya always ended up smashing it come the tail end of the season

                The Jimi Hendrix Experience was basically, Woodstock etc.
                He is basically a band all on his own anyway, the man was genius.

          • 4 Years

          yep I don't think you can make a top 5. too many greats left out

    5. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t like any of the top 4 bar one or two tracks. Controversial what makes a ‘rock’ band but this would be more like it for me:

      Nirvana
      Oasis
      Blur
      Queen
      The Clash

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years

      d but only one of vvd/rob. got a feeling Liverpool will switch to defensive game on tough fixtures

  21. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Have still the WC looking to activate in the last IB
    Thoughts on:
    Auba and Maddison for Salah and Pukki (2ft)

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

      I'm considering making that swap as well, but will sit on it until after the IB anyway.

      Another one I'm considering is Salah & Pukki to Mane & Wilson.

      1. Tabbara
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        yeah but if you have the wc, you can take the risk going without mane and salah because liverpool next fixtures are not easy, you won't captain any of these players.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years

          Pools next fixtures aren't not easy? are you kidding? 🙂

            • 12 Years

            aren't easy*

            would you captain salah 🙂 ? with man u away and tottenham

              • 7 Years

              Spurs are easy beats

            2. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I would maybe if i didn’t have better captaincy candidates, but they are certainly not tough fixtures, and best to have them if they do haul anyway which is likely against those two dier teams at current.

  22. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Different WC route. AAA!

    Pope
    TAA Lundstram Soyuncu
    Mount ElGhazi KDB Mane
    Aguero Abraham Aubameyang

    4.0 Kelly Saka Rico

    1. Mr Peanutbutter
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I just think 2 premium strikers does more damage to your defense and midfield than Auba's and Kun's ppg justify

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I tend to agree I think looking at it.

        Aguero to Wilson alone frees up millions

        1. Mr Peanutbutter
          • 4 Years

        maddison

    7. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It’s probably best to remember everyone that this game rewards those who have patience in reliable players.

      Just look at the points we’d all have if we stuck the armband on Salah and had made next to no transfers.

      The real life Premier League ebbs and flows in a manner which is scarcely believable until we reach the end of the season and evaluate the performance of key players, teams and circumstances.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, just look at my league leader who perma capped Salah, then look at his actual team overall, he's literally only that highly ranked becasue of capping Salah!

        https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/593742/event/8

        Just crazy, amkes me think why try!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          makes*

          either way, think i'll be sticking with Salah over Mane.

        2. Too Mane Men
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          It’s almost a good enough reason to permanently stick the armband on Salah, Sterling, Mane or Kun now and have down with it.

          The only players I genuinely think can reliably match them are KDB and Aubameyang.

          We’ll have to see which budget options look the real deal but unless things settle down we might as well set our teams up once a week and ignore everything apart form injuries and transfers!

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Indeed, just makes more sense to not overthink it and slap it on the same pleyer each week. Another league leader in a league i’m in left it on Mane today, and has perma capped him all season, makes a mockery of us who try lol.

        Washington McGinn freed himself of all goal involvement

    9. Foozeball

      Which West Ham mid? Felipe Anderson or Yarmolenko?

      1. Mr Peanutbutter
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        fandersons goal imminent

    10. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Feel I have to hold Son for Watford but is C a step to far given how poor they have been?

      1. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He’s due to play two games for South Korea over the international break; including a derby with North Korea.

        I’d hold onto him until you know he’s fit and how many minutes he’s played.

        Main problem is Tottenham's form and overall situation than anything else.

        I’d definitely not consider getting him in if I didn’t own him, even at home to the league whipping boys (Watford).

      2. Foozeball
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Think it's quite risky given Spurs poor form. Would rather captain the likes of Wilson and Abraham, who are in good form playing at home against similarly vulnerable opposition

      3. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers good points.
        Won't be doing that.
