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.

    If it stays like this I will make it into the top 10k for the first time ever. No players playing tonight. A Wolves goal would ensure that I think. Just please no Salah goal!

      Ok great

        It really is isn’t it!

      2. Ibralicious

        Cheer up old man. Not everyone's doing terrible this season!

      I'm in the same boat, first time in top 10k in twelve years of playing if results hold. Together, we can influence all of the pie charts next week by .02%

      The fact that you, of all people, are top 10k says a lot about this game and this season. Sad really

      1. Nimby
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Why would you say something like that unless you were a pitifully bitter child?

        1. A. PRISE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Erm.. because it's the truth 🙂

        Not a nice thing to say. Anyone in the top 10k deserves to be there.

        1. A. PRISE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Sure..

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

        Why’s that then? 140k last season and 40k the season before that. Not great but not awful.

    Is Salah playing?

    This comes from A very, very happy Salah seller!

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

      Who’d you sell him for?

    2. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Who did you sell him for?

    3. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      For whom did you sell him?

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

      Sold him
      This week for Bale, and he gives me 3 points as A prating gift. Might get Jota after the blank though

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Why are you very, very happy about getting fewer points?

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Getting the 3 points now, sold him two days ago, Bale for bgw.

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 13 days ago

            And not regretting that I didn’t keep him this match. But know ut can bite me

          2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 13 days ago

            Ah, I see. I will probably do the same move.

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

    3 points is a haul by Salah 2021 standards

  7. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Salah is predictability rubbish

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Any other Pool players worth having at the moment?

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        No-one over 6.6m

      2. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        looking at Wiliams for a cheap 4.0 def

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

        ‘Other’?

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

        I should add I own Salah lol. I think they will come good again

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Fernandes was predictably rubbish as well

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Are players just knackered now?

      2. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        bruno at least shoots. she should have had 2 assists in the 1st half and a goal in the 2nd. salah hasn't even had a shot

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

    How has Coady looked?

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

    I’m still confident Salah gets a goal.

    Always gets undeserved goals when I don’t own him. So why should it be different when I do?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      This is the new level of crap Salah though

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

      Last 2 games I didn’t own him he got a poxy deflection from outside the box and a pen

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Should have known it wasn't going to be my gameweek when I lost a double cleanie in the 94th minute on Friday

  11. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Who will get more points the next few gameweeks Salah or Fred?

    1. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      fred

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

    Salah scoring 2 points more than Bale is a success currently.

    Such low standards for Salah...

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

      3 is a haul this GW tbf.

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Think Liverpool’s recent wins over Leipzig says more about the Bundesliga, minus Bayern, than anything else.

    Pure shite again here, Jota the only one worth even considering. Keep your armband away from them at all costs.

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

      Think it’s the fact they play better against attacking, expansive teams. In the league they struggle to break down defensive sides

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

        Yep, Leipzig were so naive in both legs. Not the same in the Prem.

  14. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Salahs recent form and recent stats regarding shots in the box, did cappers actually expect any returns? His form/stats all pointed in the wrong direction.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Almost great timing

  15. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Salah a huge differential for me in my ML this week, of course he does nothing

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Same, seems every chance that looks nice to gain ground always flops. Anything from him today would have really helped me even tho I didn’t even cap him.

      Typical.

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

        Story of my season, not one of my differentials have done anything unfortunately

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 13 days ago

          Same, game has lost all integrity for me

  16. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    So who's everyone getting as auto-sub for Salah?

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

      KDB

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Gundo

  17. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Salah nearly!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      How many points for nearly?

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Well 3 more than Gundo already.

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

          Gundo got many 6 Dallas points.

          1. Ibralicious
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 13 days ago

            And even more 1 Bamford point

  18. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Jota rested, now concede a goal

  19. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Salah is actually finished

    1. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Think the whole team as we know it are finished

  20. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Fred or Salah

  21. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Dunk going up in price tonight?

  22. FPL DONKEY
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Maybe I should sell Salah instead of Son. Can't stand him stinking up my team

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

      Salah goal disallowed

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah, Salah must got from any team he’s still in.

      Jump on Jota down the line.

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

    Such an anticlimax

  24. dmcnam12
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    In a GW30 WC?

    A) Salah + Jota
    B) KDB + Lingard

    ??

    1. dmcnam12
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      C) Salah + Lingard
      D) KDB + Jota

      🙂

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        D

    2. FPL DONKEY
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Not a good time to ask that question if you want a rational and unemotional response

      B obviously Salah is a 5.5m mid max

  25. Nimby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Bloody offside.

  26. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Salah offside

  27. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Traore Hulk mode engaged. Pawson in trouble.

  28. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    Salah offside - bps

  29. djman102
    • 14 Years

    Never rooted for LiVARpool before, but...please?

  30. Nimby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 13 days ago

    At least he showed he can still finish.
