Mané returns to haunt sellers as Salah blanks at Norwich

Norwich City 0-1 Liverpool

Goals: Sadio Mane (£12.2m)

Assists: Jordan Henderson (£5.5m)

Bonus Points: Andrew Robertson x3 (£7.0m), Joe Gomez x2 (£5.3m), Trent Alexander-Arnold x1 (£7.7m), J Henderson x1

The ongoing Sadio Mané (£12.2m) narrative took a perhaps predictable turn in Gameweek 26 as he scored the winning goal for Liverpool at Norwich.

Over 1.6 million Fantasy Premier League managers sold the Senegalese international after he went off injured at Wolves in the first match of Double Gameweek 24. While it took a few weeks for Mané to recover, in the end, he only missed two Premier League outings.

Those who were brave enough to hold onto Liverpool’s left-winger were the real winners of Saturday’s Gameweek 26 action, especially as there was also a blank for the 45.4% owned Mohamed Salah (£12.8m), who was the most captained player of the round.

Also, there was further joy for the 2.7% who own Jordan Henderson (£5.5m) as he produced an assist for Mané’s late goal.

Despite registering just three attacking returns in the first 23 matches of the campaign, Henderson now has five since the start of Double Gameweek 24, more than any of his colleagues.

In truth, Liverpool had to work much harder than many would have expected considering Norwich’s defensive displays this season. The Canaries restricted their illustrious visitors to very few clearcut chances, Mane’s effort in the closing stages, arguably the biggest of the afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were, understandably, dominant in possession but, especially in the first half, struggled to fashion anything really testing for Norwich or goalkeeper Tim Krul (£4.5m). Salah was his usual busy self in the penalty area with plenty of efforts on goal to show for it, but he lacked quality and accuracy – and the same was true of Roberto Firmino (£9.7m).

Liverpool had to watch their own back-line too with much of their issues in the opening period coming from a spirited start to the game from Norwich. In the 35th minute, new signing Lukas Rupp (£4.5m), deployed on the right flank of attacking midfield again, got clear behind Liverpool’s defence. In acres of space he probably could have shot himself but opted to square to Teemu Pukki (£6.5m), the pass lacking the power to get past an impressive Alisson (£6.1m) save. Either way, were it not for their goalkeeper’s actions, Liverpool might have found themselves (arguably) deservedly behind.

Todd Cantwell (£4.9m) was a thorn in the Reds’ side for much of the afternoon, fouled four times in the opening half-hour and spearheaded their counter-attacks in the second half, one of which resulted in Alex Tettey (£4.5m) inadvertently striking the foot of Alisson’s post.

It was in this period of the game that it became more attack versus defence in favour of Liverpool but they only started to work Krul enough just before the hour-mark.

Salah teed up Naby Keïta (£5.8m) for an edge of the box effort in the 57th minute, which required palming over from Krul, although he was still comfortable.

Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) then headed the resulting corner at the Norwich goalkeeper, before the former Newcastle shot-stopper produced a world-class double-save.

Salah shot on the turn from close range, forcing another impressive Krul stop and setting up Keïta with an easy loose-ball to tap in. However, his effort was stopped by a smothering save from Krul.

It was after this that Henderson played a fantastic through-pass, which Mané hit beyond Krul on the turn.

Firmino had a late chance to get on the score-sheet as Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) fizzed a ball across the goal-line, perhaps too fast for the Brazilian to get any real purchase on it.

Despite Norwich’s spirited efforts, and Alisson’s crucial first-half intervention, it was also a big evening for those who had doubled or tripled-up on Liverpool defence.

With the Reds dominating possession and only one player scoring at Carrow Road, the excessive number of passes registered at the back helped Andrew Robertson (£7.0m), Joe Gomez (£5.3m) and Alexander-Arnold to bonus points to go with their clean sheet.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Byram (Lewis 27′), Zimmermann, Hanley, Aarons; Tettey (Buendia 83′), McLean; Cantwell, Duda, Rupp (Drmic 83′); Pukki.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Keita (Milner 84′), J Henderson, Wijnaldum (Fabinho 60′); Oxlade-Chamberlain (Mane 60′), Firmino, Salah.

    How exactly has Mane haunted sellers? 5pts in 2 gameweeks

      I held him cos I had salah too. But yes, 5 points doesn’t seem like a haunting!

      Not to mention the DGW

      Haunt? 😆 with 5 points in 3 fixtures and no bonus.. Another poor headline from Monday

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Seemed to be a pretty dire write up by someone who read a news report or two. Didn’t sound like the watched the game.

    4. Rhinos

      I did Mane to Robbo-4 so very far from haunted. Granted Pepe was a bust but hopefully Moura can calm the ghosts

      1. Bushwhacker

        You still have him too? Thought I was the only one ..

        Salah = 3 Points

        A difference of 2 Points

        Time to pack this game in

          Enormous pts difference. Haunting me already barely slept last night. 🙂

    Goodnight fellas. Hope I can sleep. Those 5 points absolutely haunting me.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      To be fair someone in my ML (c) Mane so it was 10-6.

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

      Think of the points you’ve received over the past 3 GW’s by spending 12 million.. still haunted? 😆 how do these blokes come up with this

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tbf i think at this point these headlines are just a parody of themselves and they know it

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      But seriously, why is this clown with one top 20k finish in his entire FPL career writing articles on this site?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The articles are fine

        It is just the silly sensationalist headline that does him no favours

      2. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        because it's his job. Dont equate OR with ability, there's many ways to play this game. He's a pro journalist not a clown

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I have no idea what you're talking about. I can't be a pro journalist in the field of archeology because I know nothing about it. His ability as an FPL player is 100% relative to his ability to write about it.

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Relevant* perhaps. Dunno, not a journalist.

          2. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            What exactly is your issue with the article?

          3. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            yes but OR doesnt prove ability. And spending all day in the members area must make you knowledgeable

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              The only thing we have to gauge ability is OR?

              1. I Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Literally the only thing.

              2. Rhinos
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                that's the only objective measure yes but it's pretty obvious from how someone talks about fpl whether they know their stuff, much better gauge of ability imo

                1. I Member
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Someone saying that Mane haunted the people who sold him in the title of the article and calling the people who kept him clear winners within the article is conclusive evidence that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Is it not?

                  1. Rhinos
                    • 10 Years
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    those headlines are a business decision to get the most views via google. You're welcome to your opinion i just get defensive when you're calling someone a clown

                    1. I Member
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      And that's fine. Have no problem with you taking exception to what I said.

                Rubbish. What about cash winnings. ? It's a fantasy game. You have lucky seasons, you have unlucky seasons. Some play boring and finish higher because they do what stats tell them some play reckless and like to have fun, sometimes getting a lucky start which is what you need in FPL. The ONLY real ability is having an eye for good players and noticing before the masses are drip fed on here

            How can there be any real football journalists then? They've never played football beyond Sunday league in their life. You don't have to be good at what you are writing about to be a good journalist which I think Munday is.

            You appear to know nothing about how journalism works. I have a few journalist friends none of which did degrees in the fields they report on. They all did degrees in literature or the humanities and then specialised on a subject once they went into journalism.

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

          A prerequisite of being good at something is having qualifications and respect. Being a good journalist doesn’t mean you have the qualifications to write articles for a fantasy game which you’re poor at.

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years

            Exactly.

      3. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        why is people like you so rude? No need to dish out unfriendly names on people you hardy know is there?

        And if you read that headline, the problem is not haunt but returns, that´s use of a euphemism as haunt kind of already suggests that the person is back-) what he says is that Mané with his goal says "i´m back" to all his sellers, do you disagree with that?

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          How dare I call someone a clown. Please don't act like this was some sort of scathing attack.

          1. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            just pointing out that calling people clown is not a proper way of communicating, that is neither here nor there (no it was not a scathing attack) but it is what it is and it is not nice. And it is pointless, almost as pointless as the whole discussion on how he uses a term, which is not used in a entirely correct manner grammatically speaking, but nonetheless is meaningful. The point from the author side is not the 5 points he gained this week.

        You can apply for a post 🙂
        Calling someone a clown for whatsoever reason, does not make you a better human being.

    Held a 12m+ player for two no shows and a 5 pointer = the real winners.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No need to go overboard, poorly worded headline is all it is

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think it's overboard. Man gets paid to write and speak nonsense. Thankfully they've limited his Scoutcast appearances this season. As someone paying for a service I think I have every right to criticise said service. If you disagree that's also fair.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Seems like a nice enough chap, it is overboard. You have a right to criticise but you don't have to be mean and you don't have to make numerous posts

              No lessons learnt from yesterday's awful news. Everyone's human and even though this is just online it can affect people

              I'll have a pop at anyone for saying something dumb, and will receive a pop back too but it's different when lots of people are piling in

              1. I Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                His niceness is not in question. I have nothing bad to say about him as a human being and have not done so.

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    So that's not you up there calling him a clown? And I didn't say you were saying anything bad about him as a human anyway, I'm saying you can criticise his writing or his fpl just don't be mean or go overboard. The choice is yours

                    I don't particularly agree with the article either, your post could just be posed as a question? "David surely you don't believe the real winners held onto Mane considering Salah's totals during Mane's absence?"

                    1. I Member
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      I completely take your point. Perhaps I reacted poorly and if that offended him then I apologise for it.

                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      I held Mané as I felt I would want him back if I sold and as I had him from very early I had too much value tied up in him to sell then re-buy back the 5 points yesterday was a real bonus once we seen he was benched and even better with a Salah blank (I also own Salah but never captained)

                      So I do feel like a winner I got more points than Salah ( in a match Salah was suppose to haul) but more important I got them both in my team going forward.

                      The article is fine imo comparing the last few weeks when Mané has been out is what is ridiculous

                      1. I Member
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 1 month ago

                        How can you say comparing the last few weeks when Mane was out is ridiculous? It is totally relevant.

                        1. Daddymac
                          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                          4 years, 1 month ago

                          It’s not relevant as at no point does he say that it justifies not selling Mané for Salah when he got injured.

                          If you only have 1 it’s Salah all day for me but too hold Mané if you had both felt like a mini win yesterday imo.

            Genuinely thought I'd had an awful week what with benching Lundy, but 40 points was enough for a green arrow and kdb Grealish Aguero to go. Symptom of being on this place you only read about the megahauls which makes you think you've done terribly

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yep, on a red at the moment with 38, but Aguero (C), KDB and Son so expecting a large green from here

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Damn that's gonna be a good score, we've turned our horrendous seasons around at the same time

                why would 40 with 3 left be bad. Especially as one os the best pick this week by a mile, or at least was till the game got postponed

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    Idk, just got clouded (pun intended) by cancellations and delays and most of my team blanking and benching Lund. Decent score in the end, very good if city go crazy

                    Can’t say I’m haunted.
                    Took him out straight away to get VVD for -4. Two clean sheets

                    This week. Spare cash enabled me to do Greenwood > Ings. = instant return.
                    Next week Deeney > Jimenez

                    Will still have money itb to use.

                      Also dropped the haunting man for VVD and more than happy with it!

                      I reckon we’ll tighten up even more as season closes out so double def will pay dividends

                            I’m pretty much the same. I’m on 42 (-4) with Martial, Grealish and KDB to go. Your Son pick could be the magic sauce.

                            You just got mega unlucky with the Bench Boost play. Looked like a decent punt

                              Played because the cup opponent was on Bb too.

                    On the serious note, I'm actually looking at Mane. If he looks good for next game or two, I won't be afraid to sell Salah for him

                      About as sideways as it gets but if you need a differential fair enough.

                      Salah has more points in 3 consecutive seasons. I’m honestly intrigued as to why you would sell? Try to consolidate rank after wildcard and bench boost not working out

                          But honestly I would like to hear your thoughts. It just seems exceptionally sideways/backwards to me. Maybe your opinion can sway me

                            Ha ha
                            I am a very eye test biased manager. Love the player's that i liked from game i watch. It is sideways agree. I'm not keen on losing out on double defense. So it's either Salah or Mane for me. We had the same discussion few days ago if you remember 😀

                            1. IRBOX ⚽
                              • 7 Years

                              I’m 100% with you on double defence, but I can’t advocate Salah to Mane transfer.. they will most likely score similarly remainder of the season

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

                                You're probably right.

                                I just think that Mane is the better footballer, but granted that doesn't always translate linearly to fantasy points. He's two-footed so more unpredictable, just as quick as Salah, a much better finisher (IMO), and can actually create (or wants to) for others.

                                As I say though, from a fantasy perspective hard to justify, but I do think Mane will outscore Salah between now and end of the season (fitness willing), and those few points could be the difference.

                      I’m monitoring but it wouldn’t be for a switch as I think that’s asking for trouble. If he was suddenly tearing it up I’d consider switching back to double mids but would rather not lose VVD.

                      Still haunted though...

                        Agreed. I'd much sooner add Mane to Salah than make the switch. Also not convinced that a second mid offers more value than double defence. TAA, Robbo and VvD all outscored Mane and Salah today.

                        Defense is real value. Juggernaut of CS !!

                          That’s what I’m hoping 😉

                        Imo when both are fit and playing equal minutes, we had enough evidence to show Mane outscores Salah, to me yesterday showed that will continue too.

                        Nah, Salah seems to take most of the pens now.

                      Is it wise to jump on Mane looking at his differential??He will get a hual soon looking at their fixtures

                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 1 month ago

                        I'm sticking with Salah and double defence. Those clean sheet points are more reliable than goals.

                        Problem is having him and Salah isn't great value seeing as you can't captain both. Salah to Mané is a high risk/high reward move.

                        Double defence keep racking up the points for much less $

                              I'm probably gonna be alone here but I'd keep your current strike force, can't have them all. I see Vardy bouncing back when Ndidi is back

                              If Ndidi isn't back then yes Vardy to Jimi for sure

                            Got same debate mate. Ings your third?

                            Alternative is to keep both and get in Traoré for me for now (have Martial and Grealish to lose)

                          3. HTL

                            No point ditching Vardy at this stage, but I wouldn't be buying him in if I didn't have him.

                            Auba > Jimenez for me, in time for the blank

                          Problems with gk, defence, forwards and have Martial:

                          Hendo (Button)
                          TAA Holgate Rico (Taylor Lundstram)
                          Salah KDB Martial Traore (Cantwell)

                          1ft, 1.6 in the bank

                          Could be to something like this on WC:

                          Pope Button
                          Lascelles, Basham, O’connel, TAA, Tanganga
                          Salah, Mane, KDB, Son, Grealish

                            I would just do Aguero to Jimmy and get a second Pool defender for now.

                          Who scores more next GW:

                          A) Aguero (lei)
                          B) DCL (ars)

                            Do you think Aguero will start ?
                            If yes, then easily him

                            Not sure kun starts against Leicester- (owner)

                            A if he starts but that's why it's a pointless question till after city play west ham

                            Cheers all - not sure about Aguero starting. Part of me think Pep will want him back in form and he starts both games before Madrid game.

                          Will any games be called off today because of Storm Dennis?

                            But he needs an in form Aguero and he needs games to get form.

                              A ban is a ban - would be interesting to see last years champions excluded tho

                              What? Winning it doesn't cancel their ban.

                            Vardy if any but would save personally.

                            I think any combo of Vardy, Jimenez, DCL and Ings is the best combination of form, fixtures and value

                                    Monitor Auba carefully today. Check his average position and number of chances.

                          What’s all this GW 28 hand wringing about? Or will there be more teams missing than in the ticker?

                          Anyone think this is move is worth it for GW27...

                          Aurier > VVD
                          Aguero > Jimenez (-4)

                          Im assuming Aguero either doesn't play the Leicester game or has very limited minutes. Also blanks the week after.

                          Anyone considering free transfers for GW28 and GW31 blanks (field maybe around seven that week if no Liverpool). Then big season finish with FH, WC and BB in double GW at the end of season.

                            That's my plan. Build for GW 31

                          If I did not have VVD and TAA this GW my rank would have been shredded to pieces. 29 points so far this week which is really sh*te, exactly the average this GW but at least I have still held onto a spot in the top 100k after Salah blanked and I capped him. It happens.

                          I was going to get Mane in dropping VVD but looking at it, double Pool defence at this point is more chance of guaranteed points on a regular basis with cleanies and attacking returns compared to having Mane and Salah taking turns to haul.

                          I would also have to bring in Mane for KDB which is bound to come back and bite. Of course he is blanking GW28 but if I can field 11 starters for the blank then I would rather bench KDB instead of shifting him out for one GW and having to get him back again for the following GW.
