Salah most-sold and third-most captained FPL asset for Gameweek 28

All Fantasy Premier League eyes are on Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) at Wolves tonight.

The Liverpool midfielder has been a divisive figure in the community this week after blanking in each of his last four matches.

As a result, Salah was the most-sold Fantasy asset ahead of Gameweek 28, losing more than 500,000 owners before Friday evening’s deadline.

However, following a decent Champions League display last week, Salah is also the third-most captained player for Gameweek 28, backed by over 800,000 armbands.

The Egyptian’s away form could be a factor in that decision too. No FPL midfielder has found the net more often on the road this season than Salah (10), his last three away matches producing three goals and 25 points (8.3 points per game.

Salah will be helped in attack by another start at centre-forward for Diogo Jota (£6.6m), who returns to his former club tonight.

Sadio Mané (£11.8m) joins the pair in Liverpool’s front-three but is still owned by just 4.9% of Fantasy managers, Gameweek 20 the last time he produced a goal or assist in the Premier League.

Andrew Robertson (£7.2m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) start at left and right-back respectively, either side of Ozan Kabak (£5.0m) and Nathaniel Phillips (£4.0m).

That centre-back pairing allows Fabinho (£5.4m) to return to central midfield, a tactical tweak that could bring out the best of Liverpool’s forward line.

Meanwhile, Wolves line-up in 3-4-3 formation with Pedro Neto (£5.7m), Willian José (£6.9m) and Adama Traoré (£6.0m) in attack.

Gameweek 28 Line-ups

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Semedo; Neto, Willian J, A Traoré.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Kabak, N Phillips, Alexander-Arnold; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Mané, Jota, Salah.

    Let's keep it nice on here, no "nowhere to hide's" or "epic fails"

      That's mild banter which is surely ok. Celebrating injuries is different.

    Salah hat trick...got to be

      No doubt, congrats to all Salah owners. I'm not one of them though but fully expect a Salah haul

        It's the way of FPL...it is known

    2. Baps hunter

      No risk, he is my Captain.

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Excited for my red arrow tonight !

  4. Salan
    • 14 Years

    Have a feeling that Liverpool may have a big win tonight, against the odds.

  5. Gudjohnsen

    Average score for my captain this season is 7,2
    Could be worse and could be better

    1. Napoleon IV
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      what a splendid piece of analysis!

    2. oshsan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      If I had captained my VC instead each week I’d be 103 points better off. Exactly the difference between me and top 100 OR (currently 16k ish)

    Is it not really worrying that Jiminez has been out this long after a head impact injury?

    1. fusen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      He'll be really lucky if he ever plays again tbh. Considering how much of his goal scoring would involve heading the ball, I don't see how it'll work. At least with Cech he didn't have to put his head in harms way much.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Chivu as a centre half played with a scrum cap for years.

        I still reckon he'll play again before Grealish does.

      2. Isca Extremadura

        3 years, 13 days ago

        Agree with you.. even if FA grant permission for him
        to wear protective hardware, how will that work after a fractured skull..

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      He fractured his skull. That takes a while to fix itself . . if it does.

    I don’t get ppl buying dunk. Brighton have two good games left so surely veltman at £0.6m cheaper for 29 and 33 and then he stays on the bench?

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      I'm only buying dunk for the blank gw29 (with 2ft) then he changes to azpi/rudiger in gw30. He does carry a slightly higher goal threat.

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Bought him last week and played him this week for Lowton in prep for GW29.

      Many will do the same as WC GW31.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Dunk will be a short term punt for me, WC out in 31, I'm sure many others are the same

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      WC out in 31- only want for week 29 game

  8. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Would you take a hit for one more BGW player?

    A) Gross/Trossard (NEW)
    B) Auba (whu) + Dunk (NEW) (-4)

  9. Gazwaz80
    • 4 Years

    Please Jota, any return will do....

  10. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Same team tonight that played against RB Leipzig last week.

    Same 2-0 result with the same scorers would be ideal for tonight too please.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      1-0 wolves it is then

  11. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Only me and one other in my ML still have Salah. Unfortunately, the other person is top and has captained him. Not even sure what I want to happen!

  12. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    As a Salah owner, but Bruno captainer, I don't think I'd swap my captain to Salah right now even if I could.

    Feel like he could bang a hattrick as my vice captain, but would be a guaranteed blank if he was my captain.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Us salah cappers appreciate that

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          I do what I can.

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          How many weeks have you been captaining Salah recently?

        3. GoonerSteve
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Agreed

      • TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        2vs3 then really

      Is Firmino injured?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Yes he is.

      2. JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        He got no look tackled.

    4. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Predictions?
      I believe Wolves win 1-0 with:
      Willian Jose G
      Johnny A

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        1-1

      2. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        1:2

      3. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        1-2 with Jota and Salah scoring . . Liverpool have a very good record against Wolves

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          They had very good record Vs Brighton Vs Fulham Vs Burnley Vs Leicester but they lost to all of them

    5. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Salah(c) - I suppose I’ll be content with just a brace

    6. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Salah fail

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        13 minutes in...

    7. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      best GK till the end of the season?
      Pope or Martinez or Ederson?

      1. mezza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Mendy

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          oh yes

        2. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Why not Emi?

          1. gonzalocampos
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 13 days ago

            Look at their fixtures.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Mendy.

        But of those three I'd go Ederson if money no option.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)

        Tossed salad.

    9. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Semedo is on fire. 18 pointer inbound

    10. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Wolves looking most likely to score

    11. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Annoying that even if I hate transfer Salah out, he will come back and I'll have to sell him again.

    12. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Adama Traore has 23 shots and 39 chances created, without a single goal or assist 😯

    13. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Liverpool likely to concede today?

    14. Isca Extremadura
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Lubed up show pony with no end product !

    15. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Would you do Mount to Lingard for a hit?
      I like Mount's fixtures after 29 tbh

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Not worth it

    16. sentz05
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      I’ve currently got 6 BGW players including Son and Bamford with 2FTs. Therefore, if Bamford is ok I’m looking at potentially 7 players. Should I take hits or is it not worth it?

      1. Effe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Probably is worth a hit or 2. Depends on your current team.

      2. Doctor Evil
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        I took a -16 to get 10
        Players but I’m trying to stay top of my mini league and have a 40 point lead. For overall rank it’s probably not a great idea

      3. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Depends on who, but doubt it. I wouldn't for anyone I didn't see as having potential beyond 29. Don't get tunnel vision

      4. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Same position
        No good answer

    17. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Mane has no confidence. What a wasted opportunity

    18. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Mane is nowhere near his levels of last year

    19. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Mane cant see Salah
