Mané outscores Salah as Liverpool duo continue FPL battle

Liverpool 2-1 Leicester City

Goals: Sadio Mané (£11.6m) James Milner (£5.3m) | James Maddison (£7.1m)

Assists: Mané, Milner | Ayoze Perez (£6.0m)

Bonus Points: Milner x3, Mané x2, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) x 1

Liverpool grabbed a dramatic injury-time winner against Leicester City to maintain their 100% winning start to the 2019/20 Premier League campaign.

Sadio Mané (£11.6m) opened the scoring for Jurgen Klopp’s side with a well-taken goal to continue the debate over whether he or Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is the best Anfield-based attacker to own.

Frustratingly for the Egyptian’s backers, he was substituted just minutes before Liverpool were awarded a stoppage-time penalty.

It was Mané who was fouled and James Milner (£5.3m) who dispatched the resulting spot-kick. However, whether Salah’s absence made much of a difference is hard to tell, given that the former England international has often taken penalties ahead of him when he has been on the pitch.

Mané opened the scoring for Liverpool on Saturday afternoon

Mané’s first-half strike combined with his assist for the late penalty means the £11.6m forward registered a 12-point score, against the backdrop of Salah’s first blank at home this season.

For the near 41% of owners of the highly-priced Egyptian, he now has just one goal in his last five Premier League outings and the attractive form of Mané may prove to be enough for some managers to make the switch and save £0.9m of their budget. 

Some might even want to go further still and look elsewhere for premium options as Liverpool face Manchester United (away), Spurs (home) and Manchester City (home) in the next four Gameweeks. Some top 10,000 managers have been shipping out their Liverpool attackers this week, for example.

Salah was forced off with an injury against Leicester

While owners of Salah debate his long-term place in their squads, a potential injury to the forward after he was taken off late in the game will have to be closely monitored over the international break.

When asked about it post-match Klopp fumed in response to Hamza Choudhury‘s (£4.5m) the tackle that forced his player to leave the field of play limping.

“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

Klopp also singled out Choudhury, whose tackle on Matt Ritchie (£5.4m) had drawn criticism last week. 

“He should know better. He maybe was unlucky with [Matt] Ritchie [who is out for two months after a tackle from Choudhury], but it was him and he has to calm down. ‘You cannot only go for the man, and then he gets only a yellow card – I don’t know how that works. You see Mo lying in the dressing room and you think, okay…”

While Leicester were unquestionably good value for their goal, yet another failure to keep a clean sheet for Liverpool is likely to raise further questions regarding the viability of their defensive assets as duos or even trios.

Alexander-Arnold was the only Liverpool defender to get any additional points against Leicester

Neither Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) or Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) were able to register attacking returns that have so often made up for the loss of their clean sheets points in the 2019/20 campaign, although the former did manage to cling onto one bonus.

The absence of Joel Matip (£5.5m) through injury, who has enjoyed an impressive season so far, did not help the Reds. Joe Gomez (£5.2m) was poor against Salzburg midweek so Dejan Lovren (£5.3m) earned a surprise recall to the side and arguably had a better game than Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) was caught out for Leicester’s equalising goal.

The return of Alisson (£5.8m) after the international break, of course, could be significant.

On his return to Anfield, former manager Brendan Rodgers can be proud of his side’s performance despite defeat, with James Maddison’s (£7.1m) goal in the 80th minute giving hope to an upset on Merseyside.

Maddison was the latest player to bust the Liverpool clean sheet – the Reds still have none at home this season

The Foxes’ performance against Liverpool marked a continuation of their excellent recent form that had seen them register just one defeat so far in the 2019/20 campaign.

For owners of Maddison, whose strike ten minutes from time looked to have sealed a point for Rodgers’ men, a goal from the £7.1m man was welcome news.

For those who had backed Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) to repeat his goalscoring heroics from last weekend against Newcastle, however, a blank against a side who the 31-year-old has typically excelled against in the past will have been disappointing given his recent form. 

Interest has also been high in Leicester’s defensive assets such as Çaglar Söyüncü (£4.6m) though a clean sheet would not have been expected upon travelling to the champions of Europe and those managers in ownership of Leicester’s backline are likely to be satisfied at the performance of the increasingly popular Söyüncü (owned by 6.6%) as well as Jonny Evans (£5.0m).

The Foxes’ assets look set to be popular over the coming months as they sit top of our Season Ticker in the next nine Gameweeks.

Leicester succeeded in keeping this match a tight one – good news for those invested in their defensive assets

While this was a game that will provide fuel to the debate regarding Liverpool’s defensive assets as well as the Mané vs Salah dilemma, managers would be unwise to discount Leicester’s battling performance, and arguably against nearly any other side in the division their showing on Saturday would have constituted at least a point. 

Vardy and Maddison will continue to prove attractive as attacking assets at competitive prices, yet with another double-digit score in a crucial game, Mané continues to reward those in ownership of the £11.6m forward with another sensational performance and a match-defining contribution.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Adrian; Robertson, van Dijk, Lovren, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum (Henderson 78’) Milner, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, (Origi 78’) Salah, (Lallana 90+2’).

Leicester XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; Maddison (Choudhury 86’) Tielemans, Praet (Perez 73’), H Barnes (Albrighton 45’); Vardy.

        Well they are not the same price so it’s not a fair comparison

        1. FPL Forward Thinker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He’s not asking for comparison
          He’s asking what one will get more points
          1m saving in attack doesn’t always means more points

          1m is easily saved in the other 12 positions

    5. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I have Sterling, one ML rival has him as (C), other doesn't have him, we're all close on points, not sure what to hope for...

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Your hoping for a barrel load of Sterling points - let’s not beat about the bush

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Mane simply looks much better than Salah. At 1m cheaper its a no brainer for anyone on WC or with a transfer to burn.

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

        Salah down in form since World Cup imo

      2. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I would still choose Salah over Mane. 1M is worth to pay for pen taker.

        Just a matter of time when he explodes

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

          I think he's peaked. Downhill from now

      3. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Can't disagree. With Milner starting at home to Leicester I wonder if Hendo's time is limited (or was he injured?). Makes Salah pens less likely. In any case - there's nothing to split Mane/Salah at the mo in terms of returns - apart from £1m which is plenty.

      4. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Completely agree, Mane looks the better option atm

      5. AC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Best not to overthink it, they will both continue to bring in points over the season. Pick one and stick with him for however long you want a Liverpool asset.

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          1m matters + The cheaper guy is comfortably outscoring the more expensive one

          1. No Professionals
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Got to question the "comfortably outscoring" part. By 2 points so far this season.

            That said, if they are going to be close, which they are, mane obviously makes sense. I'd do it on wildcard and may do it regardless.

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Comfortably because he has played one game less, missed GW1

              1. No Professionals
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Would still hardly describe it as comfortably

                Kind of agreeing with you, just without the over the top exaggeration.

                1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Salah got 12 in that first game. it was an easy fixture. Since then its been 43-56 in favor of Mane.

                  1. No Professionals
                    • 6 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Ha ha, yeah very selective.

                    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Well, can't call it selective when I'm taking 6 games vs 6 games when both have started together.

                    Lol, Let’s dismiss that first game then.

                    Reminds me of stats like only blanked once in 9 games. What happened in the 10th? Oh, he blanked.

                    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      He didn't play.

                      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        Wasn't fit to start, got a 15 min run out. Salah played the full game. with a 10 next to your name I expect better

                        1. Twisted Saltergater
                          • 14 Years
                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          I expect better from a windup merchant

                        2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                          • 5 Years
                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          I'm not, I'm just talking sense. 6v6 when they both started its 43-56. the first game Salah played the full 90, mane played 15 after the game was dusted. Keep Salah and Jog on, More Mane differential points for me.

      6. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        2nd best player in the league, only behind KDB

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

        There a closer argument with 0.9m difference and only fraction between them.

        Last year 9.5 v 13 was a no brainer

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

          Who has higher points with one less game played?

      Real benching headache next GW. Which two miss out?

      A) Tomori (NEW)
      B) Soy (BUR)
      C) Lundstram (ARS)
      D) Rico (NOR)
      E) Zinc (cpl)

      Leaning towards D+E.

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

            That's the logical one. But SHU having a solid defence, ARS being poor away, Lundy OOP and the MNF factor...

            1. MTPockets
                4 years, 5 months ago

                They're poor but still tend to score. Not like Bournemouth's defence is great though so either looks reasonable

              Re Salah, if I go Mane then not much I can do with the 0.9. I am also going double up on Robbo and TAA. I do not want to rip up my team to fit Salah back in again so just going to stick with him.

                thoughts on Haller + Cantwell >> Wilson + Maddison

                Would give:

                Pope (Button)
                TAA Soyuncu Tomori (Lundstram Pieters)
                Salah Sterling KDB Mount Maddison
                Abraham Wilson

                    Looks decent, but would want to know KDB starts before doing it

                  Which player needs to go first?

                  A. Pukki
                  B. Haller
                  C. Salah

                    A or D

                      Thanks guys, so would you go for Abraham or Wilson?

                      I'm thinking Abraham

                        Bournemouth attack looks essential next week imo but both great options

                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Is Soyuncu (LEI, 4.7) worth the extra over Kelly (CRY, 4.1) - or should I just save the 0.6 million for DefenderX?

                  Heaton
                  TAA, Lundstram, Tomori,
                  KDB, Sterling, Salah, Hudson-Odoi
                  Abraham, Wilson, Pukki

                  McGovern, Cantwell, Rico, DefenderX

                    Have you seen Palace's fixtures?

                    1. fc_skrald
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Yes - he will be sitting on the bench for these games if I buy him

                      1. Collie01
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 6 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        You have a good squad, but I would probably go for Soy. Lundstram's fixtures are poor too and Rico is already mainly bench fodder.

                        1. fc_skrald
                          • 8 Years
                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          Thanks. Yes think you are right, I need to improve the defence with the upcoming fixtures.

                            Can always get Palace defence in 5 weeks or so (end Nov)

                    I don't mind Kelly but I reckon Soyuncu because your defense is a little light

                    WC active.

                    How’s this looking for an effort?

                    ....... Ryan - Button
                    TAA - Ota - Soy - Lundy - Rico
                    Sterling - Mahrez - Yarmy - Mount - Donk
                    .....Auba - Vardy - Abraham

                    Got exact funds left for Mahrez > KDB, which I may end up locking in before next GW if Pep tells us KDB is back for sure.

                      • 13 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Yeah very nice. Maybe Luiz in for Donk?

                        • 13 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        And maybe Tomori in for Soyuncu but that's probably more down to personal preference.

                          Scrap that. Just saw comment below and realised no Mane. Get him in at expense of Vardy/Yarmalenko.

                      I would never want to go without a Liverpool mid. (Mane)

                      Donk, Yarm, Vardy > Saka, Maddy, Wilson

                        Drop Salah and you'll be amazed how much you can upgrade your team elsewhere

                          • 5 Years
                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          Drop pool mids altogether and you'll be amazed how far your rank can drop

                            4 years, 5 months ago

                            Don't understand the logic. If you don't have Pool mids you probably have Auba/Kun who are matching the Pool mids. And over the next 3-4 GWs the likes of Auba have better fixtures than Pool

                            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

                              Pool are fixture proof. I have a pool mid, Sterling and Auba.

                      I don’t have any cash once I’ve done Mahrez > KDB.

                      Hoping KDB might drop though

                      I’m doing something very similar and not too worried about no Mane or Salah for next 5, Auba worth punt

                    Advice greatly appreciated chaps! 1 FT 2.7 ITB. Happy to give Son one last chance home to Watford and get KDB back next GW.

                    Fancy Abraham as a good captaincy option for this GW.

                      Save FT in that case as you already have 3 city so will need to ship one of the other lads with Son to get in KDB.

                        • 13 Years

                        Cheers. I don't mind the odd hit...but would like to get Abraham in this week I think.

                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          Pukki to Tammy is a good move on paper esp if going to captain. Slight chance of IB injuries but it's probably a chance worth taking if it saves 0.2 or 0.3 in price swings.

                            Cheers. I'm swaying towards that.

                      Cantwell->Maddison imo.

                    Why do we think Hendo was dropped for Milner? 1 week rotation? Salah pens obviously affected so would be good to know...

                        Guess - hadn't looked great in previous games. Some wayward passes etc

                        • 4 Years

                        Salah wasn’t on the pitch, subbed before the pen

                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          I realise that.

                            (AFAIK Milner is no.1 pen taker - Mo on the pitch or not)

                        2. Catastrophe
                          • 13 Years
                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          Milner would have it ahead of Salah regardless no?

                          1. Limbo
                            • 13 Years
                            4 years, 5 months ago

                            I thought so

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

                        No more than Klopp rotates his midfielders due to fatigue and fixtures. A fresh and firing Milner is as good as Henderson who´s played a lot lately. And he likes to have one of them on pitch because they give the team experience and they are important verbally, they speak a lot during games and keeps the other players focused.

                    2. Unconstitutional
                      • 11 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Is Coleman, Mount and Pukki to Soyuncu, Stephens (or some other bench 4.5m mid) and Auba a good move?

                        Depends on rest of team. Not sure I'd want to drop Mount. Lampard's golden boy.

                        Not sure. You are going from 3 starters to 2 so it depends on the rest of your squad

                      Salah explosive but inconsistent

                      Mane consistent.

                      For a £11+ player you need the C option. You need consistency.

                      Mane is the man

                          Mane has not been more consistent this season.

                          The only difference is Mane is slightly cheaper.

                            He has been more consistent, and cheaper. He has more points than Salah having played one game less (missed the first game)

                              Compare Mane and Salah GW for GW. Mane did have 16 minutes GW1. Sure not much but did not miss GW1.

                              2 points seperate them. No difference other than the 0.9 IMO.

                                He played 16 mins and wasn't fit. Salah got 12 points in that game, it was a comfortable win, Mane would have hauled if started (most probably)

                                In the 6 games they both have been fit and started, it's 43 vs 56 in favor of Mane.

                                  True. But Salah has been pretty unlucky not to have a penalty yet. With the amount of times they have the ball in their opposition's penalty area pretty bizarre they hadn't had one yet. They finally get one , 2min after he goes off. Chance Milner may have taken it anyway, but he hasn't had much game time this year so still a little unlucky.

                                  Can't go wrong with either pick imo

                                    Salah has scored a penalty this season.

                                Compare them GW for GW since GW 2 and Mane is comfortably better and more consistent

                            Give Barnes another few months. I can see him scoring in that time.

                                I like West Ham’s next 3 fixtures for Haller
                                I like Mane and love King’s fixtures coming up- so you moves look good but remember it’s 13 days till next deadline : so remain as patient as you can but make the moves if money in the bank becomes an issue. Keep eye on FPL Statistics

                          With the 2 England Int's coming up, wonder what this does for Sterling's minutes again. 2 of them in 4 days.

                          I am happy to continue without him.

                          Aguero no Int's could see him as the better option over the next 2 GW's?

                              I'd feel more comfortable with Wilson imo. It's a shame he's not on penalties. Saves the -4 as well.

                                Take Yarmo and Pukki > Mahrez and connolly for -4

                                    If you want Connolly over Pukki would just do that part for free

                                  This -8 is very tempting,

                                    Might do those move myself.

                                  How does this look : Salah Barnes Pukki --> Maddison Auba Wilson for -4pts ?

                                    Hoping Djenepo is back after the IB. Seems like a good option compared to Cantwell for slightly more money. 2 goals in 3 apps without even a full 90.

                                    Seems like Soton played him knowing there were muscle issues otherwise he would have not been used so sparingly. Pity about him being injured.

                                          I do not own him yet. He is injured.

                                        Well that is even more reason to get him then. Would rather have him than Pepe 🙂

                                          Same because Pepe is 3m overpriced by FPL towers.

                                      Wouldn't have known he was a Soton player if you didn't mention it

                                      Djenepo is a gem...a star in the making. Hope he has the "pro" attitude to avoid injuries.

                                      Just go look for those two goals. He is awesome 😉

                                      Looks like Mane when he was there

                                          Definitely caught my eye in highlights but it’s a while before I even consider him for watchlist never mind a transfer in.
