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.

    Morning guys,
    This is a RP.
    Maupay is Brighton's central first choice striker right ??
    Looking for
    Salah Barnes Pukki >> Mane Vardy Maupay (-4)

    Thank you 🙂

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I wud take King for his next two fixtures and then may move on to muapay ?

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

        Ha
        Can get King too
        Exactly 6.3m remaining for that Spot. Norwich Watford next two means awesome fixtures 😮
        Was thinking about getting Wilson as Vardy placeholder for 2 gw's but this looks a great option imo
        Thank you buddy 🙂

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Hehe cheers - looks like your Salah captaincy ship has finally sailed 🙂

          1. Amey

            4 years, 5 months ago

            Lol
            I watched last 3 Pool games full 90'
            Mane is killing it atm !
            Also need ££ to get Vardy & nobody here allowing (advising) to sell Mount 😀
            So ...
            Bdw Raz is the © this gw bro 😛

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              True that Salah isn't passing the eye test atm - but he played as a striker last night and after their city game, one may want to captain him every week 🙂

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

                Can get him back after 13 too.
                Would need a 1m £ that can be easily possible at that time.
                Do you think the moves I'm doing are good ??

                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Can u captain Mane though?...I own him from GW1 and never captained, it was either sterling or auba....Am looking to move on to firmino from mane, as I think if I am not captaining I think firmino wud be as gud a value as mane....

                  And this cud go allow me to have front 7 of son, KDB, Sterling, mount/maddison, auba, firmino, Tammy along with back 3 of TAA, OTA, Soy

                  This is the team I wud be happy to own

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

                    I will actually in Villa game.
                    Had Mane over Salah for half of last season.
                    Maybe he's on his streak like he has every season.

                    1. Eleven Hag
                      • 6 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Yeah and mane isnt traditionally at his best in away fixtures either

                  2. Cok3y5murf
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Don't understand this captaincy issue. Shared the golden boot without pens last season. Has scored more goals than Salah in 2019. Why wouldn't you captain him?

                    1. Eleven Hag
                      • 6 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      May be because every wekk either sterling or auba were presented with better fixtures...i wud captain mane vs watford or norwich 🙂

                      1. Amey
                        • 5 Years

                        Ha ha
                        Thank you for detailed response buddy.
                        Appreciate it.
                        I'm going to go Wild now.
                        Enough of patience 😀

                        I have both & can captain any but the truth is both have the tendency to blank just like every other premium midfielder, wouldn't be surprised if sterling blanks today

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

                          Wise words.
                          Don't want a Raz blank though 😀

                      • Amey
                        • 5 Years

                        Yeah
                        Maybe it's a mental block for many of us.

                  3. bench boost for every gamew…
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    you might just need 0.5 if Mnaé keeps going up and salah down..

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Personally I’m not a huge fan of the Salah > Mané move, but equally I wouldn’t let that put you off it either as a Mané is flying

        No idea on Maupay Brighton seem to have a fair few strikers on their books

        Vardy looks a super pick though & Barnes & Pukki out also looks sensible at the minute

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

          As mentioned above:
          Salah Barnes Pukki >> Mane Vardy King (-4) is possible too.
          King's next two fixtures are bloody amazing 😮

      3. Party time
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Maupay is a street arse French striker, very good option, got him in my team since gw 5. It all depends on how attacking Brighton get over time & the creativity in that team. Trossard also one to monitor when he is back tbh. If Brighton get better from a creativity perspective, a double up might not be bad

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

            Cheers bro 🙂
            King as a placeholder for 2 gw's is the plan now.
            Norwich & Watford next two.

            1. Party time
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Great pick, either wilson or king are great picks

            2. Amey
              • 5 Years

              Bdw when is Trossard coming back ??

              1. Party time
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Should be after the IB, not sure they would rush him back but say gw 11 he could be in the starting xi

                  1. Amey

            Still can't believe City lost and Sterling blanked against this Norwich side when we all captained him.

            1. Monkey Pits
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Pukki still hungover on his party from 3 weeks back

            2. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              And I used up the free hit to fit in KDB Sterling Aguero (c) for the game

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                That result was the miracle of the season although it was deserved. Just watched the Villa highlights and Norwich were absolutely shocking.

                1. Eleven Hag
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  It was right after the international break and some of the city players looked very fatigued - and may be for this reason, city have started very slow which was unlike them, and took the game casually

            3. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Counter attacking goals can be somewhat misleading imo.
              Not sure how to say what i want to say 😀

            4 years, 5 months ago

            How the hell did Cantwell drop? I get that he hasn't returned points in a few games but he's still the cheapest attacking mid that gets minutes. Why sell him rather than just bench him?

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Ppl moving on to mcGinn or yarmolenko I reckon

                • 12 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Lol Cantwell got 2 pts, yarmo & McGinn with 1

                1. Eleven Hag
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Yeah but it's not about just this week though

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                sure, but that must mean they had intended to start cantwell every week and had another fodder mid on the bench. Surely everyone bought him at 4.5 or 4.6. I'd much rather have him on my bench than Hayden.

              Why the hell would you sell Haller before Pepe ??
              I mean, the lad could have scored 2/3 yesterday easily.
              I'd downgrade Pepe & upgrade Greenwood to Vardy.

                  He has ONE goal, and that was the Penalty Aubamyang GAVE him!

                    Tough games
                    Fixtures create form
                    The team will try to help him score

                      Auba had the same fixtures and scored 7. He's never in a decent position to score and he keeps giving the ball away 30 yards from goal.

                      1. Emiliano Sala
                        • 7 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        Pepe wasn't ready for first 2 games

                            I believe things will change for arsenal as bellerin and tierny coming. And bou got worst defence in league
                            Arsenal should score at least 2-3 goals

                            he could be Aubamyang, who seems determined to make sure Pepe scores.

                They're not good moves. Well, one is. But Haller is playing really well, and scoring goals. If you want Vardy, find another way.

                  No point in playing well if it doesnt convert to points.

                    ...and scoring goals

              Why are you trying to get rid of Haller? You have much bigger issues and Haller looked good against Palace. If you're downgrading a defender, I'd ditch Robertson, giving you enough to replace Pepe with Mane.

                • 7 Years

                Tough games for liverpool coming. May do that after city vs pool match

                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  You're keeping a double Pool defense for City, but don't want to buy Mane?

                  1. Emiliano Sala
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    That is not exactly what I may do. Sell robbo for city match and get mane after that. Will have 1 defender

                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      I guess I just don't see why you wouldnt want a Liverpool attacker against a ManU defense that is in shambles and Spurs without Lloris. If you don't want to get rid of Pepe because you just bought him (and out of some weird fan-boy crush) fine; do Robbo/Son to Tomori/Mane

              I’d like to say it was because of the return, but I actually brought in mcginn for the week! I’ve now rage transferred kdb back in regardless of injury update. I need to retire from fpl..

            FPL is cruel....

            Got in yarm and auba for a -4. Yarm = 1 point. If I just played Barnes and Cantwell = 4 points.

            Im itching to WC, whats the template these days?

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Aubameyang is still left? Can easily score 10 plus points

            2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Pope
              TAA, Robbo, Ota
              Salah, KDB, Maddison, Mount
              Vardy, Wilson, Tammy

              Should serve you well - depending on your TV you can also get a decent bench (e.g. Lundstram, Cantwell, Rico /Kelly etc) Allison is back possibly for next week so TAA/Robbo will go to another level

              You could do Mané instead of Salah, but Mo will come back again - he was unlucky to go off just before the pen yesterday

              1. Dthinger

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                he went off injured though. You think its a good idea to bring in an injured player on WC? Ask all those jokers who bought Martial how that's going.

                1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  He walked off so hopefully it’s not too bad - and on a wild card it’s easy to bring him in (simply swap to Sterling or Mané if he’s confirmed out)

                  It’s if you’re NOT on a wild card where caution would be required

                Agree with Babit. I would downgrade either Wilson/Vardy to Tammy and have Sterling. But still very good.

            The chances of son, Pukki not dropping and KDB , c.wilson not rising ?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              pretty low, I think.

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Might need to monitor and maybe transfer Pukki to Wilson earlier then, hate doing it before ib though, always that risk

            2. Zimo
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Debruyne is going to drop not rise. Pukki will most likely drop tonight. Can't tell about son. Maybe he drops 0.1 maybe 0.2. Wilson depends on how he does today

                No but if Kdb & Salah are out for gw 9 then yes. I think Barnes must leave your team, he is clearly a trap. I don't get the love for him tbh

                I think there are better options than dendonker on WC but yeah, your starters look good. KDB looks likely to drop though, so maybe wait on that one, unless you already own him.

                BOU's defense is probably not that much better than NOR 😮

                    Yes "maybe" but Bournemouth defend better as a team than Norwich

                      tbh Aké & Cook are better than Hanley, Godfrey & whoever

                  Auba worth 11.0 with lacazette coming back after IB?

                    Worth is a difficult term. It’s easier, for me anyway, to ignore price and just ask myself, who will score the most points? Then get that player. Done.

                  A - Van Dijk to Ricardo Pereira
                  B - Barnes or Pukki to King
                  C - KDB ?

                    All depends on Kevin to be honest. If he is out again, then better to get rid of him

                  Do we expect to have any triple risers before the next gw starts?

                    no unless Mahrez smashes it.

                    If Mahrez hauls, I won't be surprised if many Jump ships from Kdb to Mahrez.
                    Tammy, Auba too if they haul. Will depend a lot on today's results actually.

                  Did anyone see the Salah injury? Did it actually look bad?

                    Horrendous tackle from behind.

                      The Daily Mirror’s Northern Football Correspondent David Maddock tweeted: “Salah took a bad knock at the end of game, but initial checks have shown injury not serious - not as bad as first appeared.”
