What Salah blank against Sheff Utd means after Mané’s latest FPL score

Liverpool 2-1 Sheff Utd

  • Goals: Roberto Firmino (£9.3m), Diogo Jota (£6.3m) | Sander Berge (£5.0m)
  • Assists: Sadio Mané x2 (£12.0m) | Oli McBurnie (£5.7m)
  • Bonus points: Firmino x3, D Jota x2, Berge x1

Point of Mo Return

Fantasy Premier League managers who captained Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) for Gameweek 6 can certainly feel rather hard done by given the way Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Sheffield United played out.

The heavily-backed Egyptian was not particularly involved in proceedings initially, after the Blades won a controversial 13th-minute penalty. And a move away from the traditional 4-3-3 formation seemed to hinder Salah finding any kind of rhythm.

He was officially deployed as the centre-forward in a 4-2-3-1 with Diogo Jota (£6.3m) operating in his usual right attacking midfield berth, although this development seemed to cause the former Wolves man and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) to get in each other’s way and damage supply to Salah.

But even after the Reds turned things around in the second half, it appeared the FPL gods were truly against the Egyptian.

Alexander-Arnold found Salah with a trademark 62nd-minute through-ball from deep, allowing him to nip in behind the Sheffield United defence and poke beyond Aaron Ramsdale (£4.9m). However, the goal was chalked off by VAR for a very marginal, albeit correct, offside call.

Then, in the 81st minute, Salah peeled an agile turn off the back of John Egan (£4.9m) to get behind the Blades’ defence and go one-on-one with Ramsdale. This time he shimmied inside the six-yard box and flicked his deft shot… onto the post.

Backed by over 40% of the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll for this weekend, Salah’s second blank of the season could be a Gameweek-defining event considering that Harry Kane (£10.8m) proved the most popular skipper in the top 10k.

While it is unlikely to offer too much comfort in the event that Spurs’ key attackers explode on Monday night, the fact that Salah was so unfortunate not to return is surely enough to keep him in the captaincy conversation for Gameweek 7 when West Ham come to Anfield.

Mané of the Moment?

Salah’s blank was made all the more conspicuous by an eight-point haul for Sadio Mané (£12.0m) who has proved a more reliable asset since returning from his coronavirus-related absence in Gameweek 4.

In the last two matches, Salah has registered a total of nine points, while his left-sided colleague has totted up a total of 14.

On the Virg

Against Sheffield United, Fantasy managers got their first look at Liverpool without Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) in the Premier League.

After keeping out Ajax in the Champions League midweek, the Reds were a little more vulnerable on Saturday evening.

Liverpool were actually boosted by the unexpected return of Alisson (£5.9m) behind a centre-back pairing of Fabinho (£5.5m) and Joe Gomez (£5.4m), although they were still unable to keep a first home clean sheet of the 2020/21 Premier League campaign.

For all the Blades’ struggles in front of goal this season, they still asked questions of Liverpool’s defence on Saturday night.

Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) ghosted in behind Alexander-Arnold in the 20th minute, allowed enough time to fire a left-footed shot across Alisson’s goal.

Then in the 23rd minute, George Baldock (£5.4m) pressed into space left by Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) to loop a cross to the back post where Ben Osborn (£4.9m) fired a powerful volley at the Reds’ goalkeeper.

The right wing-back then had a fierce effort from the edge of the box deflected wide for a corner after John Lundstram‘s (£5.3m) initial ball was cleared.

That said, owners of Alexander-Arnold and Robertson can arguably feel as hard-done-by as those who captained Salah regarding Liverpool’s clean sheet.

None of the aforementioned chances created by Sheffield United found their way into Alisson’s net, the Blades scoring from a controversial penalty, with replays heavily suggesting that Fabinho won the ball when tackling McBurnie, as well as the incident taking place outside the penalty box…

So, is it worth holding onto the Liverpool defensive double-up? It certainly gets more difficult each week, but, forgetting what they have shown in the first five Gameweeks, the clean sheet wipeout feels more about bad luck on this occasion. Sander Berge‘s (£5.0m) spot-kick was the first one Liverpool had faced at Anfield in the Premier League for 37 such matches there.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold; J Henderson, Wijnaldum; Mané, Firmino (Minamino 83′), D Jota (Milner 83′); Salah.

Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale; Ampadu, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Berge, Lundstram (McGoldrick 76′), Baldock; Brewster (Burke 54′), McBurnie.

    Why am I thinking of doubling up with Chillwell and James for then next three.

    Why am I doing this to myself 😆

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

      I'm getting Chilwell for Taa too.
      If anything for next 3 looks decent for Chelsea.
      Azpi makes james tricky

      Fan fever

    3. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years

      Will James start?

    4. Coys96
      • 6 Years

      Don't like james, looking to get rid

    5. Over Midwicket

      James isn't nailed. Waste of 5 mil.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I already have him. Can easily ship him for someone like a West Ham defender after next week if I must.

    6. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Get Dallas instead

    1 FT use it save and mini wild card next week?

    Martinez
    Saiss, TAA, Lamptey
    Salah, Son, Zaha, Jamez
    Jiminez, DCL, Kane

    0.1 ITB

    Any obvious moves?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Save

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Without your bench, it's harder to give advice.

      I personally would be looking to play someone ahead of Lamptey next week.

      I'm selling James Justin for a Leeds DFer - boring transfer I know, but it will be a good long term move and will mean I can bench Lamptey next week v's Spurs away.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would have loved to see who you had on the bench. Not comfortable starting Lamptey against the best attack that can score against them

      Still, there's no obvious replacement outside Kilman (which is a short term move), so roll

    4. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years

      Very good side!! Impressive!

    5. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My bench is woeful

      Dunne, Mitchell, Alzate

  3. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I think I might be saving a FT. That's weird...

    Mart
    Robbo Digne Chilwell
    Salah Son James Grealish Foden
    (K)ane DCL

    Steer Kilman Brewster Lamptey

    0.0 ITB, 1FT

    Hopefully, no injuries or the like

    Kilman over Robbo really tempts me, but I guess I'll stick and see what happens. Lower risk

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Save

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks mate. First time it's felt this obvious to me this season, so I'll do that

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I dare you to save FT 😛

      Today's games most likely will change that though...

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Lmao! I'm more surprised than you are, and I accept the dare 🙂

        Today's games might change things if Everton boys get injured or suspended... Or Kilman hauls again on my freaking bench (definitely starts over Robbo, then)

        Digne blank wouldn't even surprise me, as S'oton's a good team. Just couldn't get over his increased attacking threat without Richarlison, or set pieces if James doesn't start. Digne starts vs Castle, still

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Nice team I'm already a full 2m short of that and it's only GW6.

  4. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    who woudl you do Trossard to? Barkley, McGinn or Bowen?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brighton is the type of team to score vs Spurs

      Spurs attack is great, but their defence isn't (same with Pool)

      Roll

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        i was thinking that tbh

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If u already have a Villa attacker, Bowen. Otherwise, Barkley

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        no ham or villa

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Have patience with Trossard. He will come up good. If you must transfer him out, go for Bowen

  5. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Dunno about you guys but I'm finding this season very difficult. So many hat-tricks, braces and double figure hauls. But not a whole lot of them in my team! Seem to be chasing the points around like some kind of macabre game of whack-a-mole.

    Since WC-ing in GW3, I've been putting fires out in my team spending hits, every single week, and yet, my team could still do with multiple transfers to get it to where I want it to be. But on the other hand, my pre-WC team was poor as well, so I can't even say that I played my WC at the wrong time.

    I hope going forward that things start to calm down and return to something approaching normalcy. My blood pressure can't take all this craziness!

        Luck doesn't always pick and choose. All you can do is pick the team you feel will get points and once that deadline goes it is in hands of the FPL gods. Just keep picking the most logical team and don't chase points like 95% on here and it will come i guess.

        I feel you man. I can't recall a season in 15 years of playing where seemingly every move I make is punished. No salah GW1, WC GW3 when my awful GW2 side suddenly turned up and the 3 bookies favourites for the week got routinely trounced, Werner out before his haul. The list goes on. Just got to try and enjoy it though. If you've got a current rank as bad as mine it gives us a nice challenge to climb up to something respectable from such a low position 🙂

      Exact money to do these for free today, Y/N?

      Maupay + Pullisic -> DCL + Zaha ?

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I know Pulisic hasn't set the world on fire, but, I think he's looking better each game. And, in Chelsea's last game he was the most threatening player.

        I'm keeping him for the next few at least.

      2. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Keep Pulisic for Burnley

      3. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years

        No

    5. Party time

        To all those my dear managers who have gone with Mo Salah as captain this gw.

        Brace yourselves, our rank is about to sink beneath the ocean bed

            Thoughts on Fabianski? I want to get rid of Guaita who I actively hate and don't want the template Martinez pick.

            1. Coys96
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Not worth using a FT on

            2. thegaffer82
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Just get Martinez. It's too early in the season to worrying about ownership and templates.

              Martinez is a good keeper playing for a decent-ish DF. I wouldn't over-think it until much later in the season

            3. ivantys
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I'm keeping until GW12 then go Leno, unless you are on a wild card I won't waste a transfer on keeper.

            4. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I would 100% keep Guaita. 11 point hauls on their way soon.

            5. FPL Theorist
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Sounds like a good pick, although you might want to wait until after Liverpool -- a 0-0 between Wolves and Palace would not surprise me.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Could be worse. You could have Ramsdale.

              Got 2 FT this week and sorely tempted to bin him for Guaita or Matinez.

                    Probably save with that team. Two tansfers will come in handy next week and you can think about if you want to keep Jimi for longer and you can also get rid of Justin as well

                        And then Mitchell moved to RB when PVA came in.

                      I thought it was because someone at Palace browsed the FPL circles and realised the cool kids all think he's crap so they took him out of the firing line

                    Podence or James out. Or both. See how Podence does first though. I like James to Dallas

                          wolv. Leeds. Burnley are not appearing at all especially that crystal palace are so limited offensively

                    I would say no, and not biased but would keep Zaha over Lookman. This season playing as the last man opposition players cant afford to foul him as much as in his old position (was one of the most fouled players prev seasons), getting allot more freedom and better results from him as we seeing.

                      yeah was thinking Ward to Kilman

                      Castagne to Regulion?

                      1. Coys96

                        Not sure about Reguilon, prefer Cancelo

                      Soucek out, right before the fixtures improve? Madness.

                      Wasn't Antonio injured during the game? And I don't get the Lookman love, though my patience with Soucek is running out despite just being a bench player

                        Watch Fulham and you'll rate Lookman. Hit post twice yesterday and could've had another. Prefer him to Soucek.

                        Antonio should be fine

                  If you don't have 2FTs, unless your player is injured or suspended, the answer to your transfer question is 'hold transfer' almost 100% of the time...

                      Maybe but I'm finding it a lot easier to just be content with the game this way. And it's not because I have a good rank, I'm sub 1m... But I put myself less in rage inducing situations by being more conservative with hits and flip flop transfers

                    Watkins to Antonio or Bamford, or maybe Mitchell to Kilman?

                  Would appreciate any comments on my team and plans for next week;

                  ............Martinez
                  .....TAA - Saiss - Justin*
                  Mo - Son - Pulisic - J-Rod - Podence*
                  .......Kane(c) - DCL
                  Bench: Brewster - Lamptey - Mitchell
                  1FT & 0.7 ITB

                  Obviously, a lot will depend on how Podence does today - if he even starts.
                  But, basically if he plays and does okay, then I'll keep him for CPL game next week. If he's benched or looks awful, then I'll prioritize him out first.

                  But anyway, provisionally, which one looks best?

                  A) Justin > Ayling
                  B) Justin > Masuaku
                  C) Podence > Barkley
                  D) Podence > 6.2 (who?)
                  E) Justin & Podence > Ayling/Masuaku & Barkley
                  F) save FT

                  Not keen on saving by the way, as I don't want to play Justin or Lamptey this week

                    A or E, depending on today

                      Thx for the reply. That's my preference too

                    Just keep Podence regardless, you have so much more flexibility with 2FTs

                    Justin has to go, regardless

                    Justin to Coufal

                    Sort Podence out next GW, even if benched... Except if injured

                    And yes, Podence to Barkley

                      Oh. Coufal's fixture says no

                      Roll FT and do both next GW, sorry

                  TAA is beginning to try my patience to the limit now.

                  For £7.5m he needs to be getting regular assists and CS. Not one or the other, but both.

                  Kind of getting neither from him, which makes him poor value right now.

                    VVd out has changed the entire value of pool defenders. Remember how trash they were defensively before he came in, always reliant on scoring 2-3 goals a game to win

                    He's a goner for me as soon as I have a transfer to spare.

                    At least he is playing and has a 'decent fixture' (if there is such a thing these days) which means he's safe for another week in my side.

                    But totally agree with you, I'm struggling to find any good reasons to keep him to be honest.

                    Yup clearly not worth his price tag at the moment. Got Chilwell and Saiss already so keeping for now until eventually wildcard

                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 14 Years
                      3 years, 5 months ago

                      Yes, I have Doherty who is more of an immediate need to replace, so he easily becomes Chilwell this week.

                      The fact that TAA is nailed is what's been saving him so far.

                      To be honest, him, Ramsdale, Doherty and Tierney were all pretty awful picks in hindsight.

                        Doherty the most unlucky of those, could well have worked out if was allowed to play to his strengths

                  It's unfortunate that Antonio is such an injury risk. Don't thing I can bring him in, transfer waiting to happen and constant worry.. Rather Bowen

                    • 3 Years
                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    I'm still bringing him in. Anything is better than Mitrovic.

                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    I'll get him once he's back. He's a cracking player - both in FPL & real life!

                    He gets injured... I'll just transfer him out

                    1. Brosstan
                      • 9 Years
                      3 years, 5 months ago

                      Yes it's a valid approach.. im trying to play extra conservative this season, trying to avoid hits. And for me that includes avoiding crocks like Pulisic and now Antonio until he shows ability to play 90

                    • 5 Years
                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    He gives 200% on pitch.
                    Maybe that's why he's so prone to muscle injuries as he tries so hard.
                    Moyes said it's not dangerous though.

                    If including 6.0, Barkley. Klich or Lookman otherwise

                    Travelled with the squad, just whether starting or on bench. As McCarthy owner and no Rodriguez/DCL I'm selfishly hoping for the latter!
