Sell Salah, Free Hit and who to captain in Gameweek 19? What FPL managers think

There are some big questions facing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of Gameweek 19 and earlier in the week we set up some polls to gauge opinion on the key talking points.

Here’s how you voted over the last few days:

SELL SALAH IN GAMEWEEK 19?

Not far off 50% of responders are planning to offload Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) without a chip this week, with the vast majority of those not planning to buy him back before he departs for the Africa Cup of Nations after Gameweek 21.

FREE HIT OR NOT IN GAMEWEEK 19?

Over one in five Fantasy managers said they were planning to play their Free Hit chip this week but circa 30% were undecided at the time of voting, so there could be more in the offing – particularly as Spurs v Palace looks set to go ahead.

WHO TO CAPTAIN IN GAMEWEEK 19?

We’ve been used to seeing Salah mop up over 50% of the vote in our captaincy poll in recent months and the race is blown wide open this week, with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) leading the way with just over a third of the vote.

EXTRA FREE HIT: FOR OR AGAINST?

The decision by FPL to grant managers an extra Free Hit proveded to be a divisive one – more said they were against the move than in favour of it in on on-site poll but the result was reversed in the corresponding Twitter vote.

    I've decided my moves and I'm waiting until the last minute because of cancellations. Just imagine if FPL crashes.

  13. Ruinenlust

    Maupay or Laca???

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years

      Laca

    2. Moose™

    3. Diamondgeezer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      The answer is always not Maupay. He is an Fpl troll

  14. Gooner97

    DDG (Bachmann)
    Alonso Cancelo Livra Amartey (TAA)

    Salah sold. Slightly miffed it’s cost me 0.2m waiting but seems talk of the Spurs game being off, was well founded if it’s true that Palace’s request was refused.

  16. boombaba
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Zinchenko likely to play ?

  17. Norco
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen or Martinelli?

    I have Antonio and Saka

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli with this form I'd say

    3. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Long term Bowen tbh

    4. gera.bostock
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Is this a regular transfer? Get the one that you want in your team long term. Watford - West Ham will be postponed and Martinelli probably won't start against Wolves.

  18. BigKeith
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    a) ESR> Martinelli/Bowen
    b) Gallagher> Martinelli/ Bowen
    c) Antonio> Jesus/Broja

  19. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years

    Is this wildcard team good to go?

    de Gea, Foster
    Alexander-Arnold, Cancelo, James, Davies, White
    Bernado, Son, Jota, Bowen, Martinelli
    Ronaldo, Lacazette, Broja

    Thanks much!

    Hi Legends, need some advice here.
    Only 8 players this GW.
    1FT

    Guaita* (Foster*)
    White- Cancelo- James- Livra (TAA*)
    Bilva- Mount- ESR (salah* - Raph*)
    Laca (Antonio* - Dennis*)

    A) Salah+raph > Son+Bowen (-4 = 10 players)
    B) Salah+Raph+Guaita > Son+Bowen+Mendy (-8 = 11 players)
    C) just use FH

  26. Jensen Luiz Coleman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Salah to KdB (C)

    A Foolhardy
    B As dumb as a dumb thing
    C Brave and interesting
    D Sheer genius

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      E. Yolo

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would

  27. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    FH or use a transfer or two?

    Guaita
    Cancelo Dias Alonso Reece
    Foden Bowen Gallagher
    Antonio Wilson

    Salah Jota TAA Davis ....0.5 1 FT

  28. The Train Driver

    Not sure Spurs will dominate CP. Don't underestimate the will of bench players and youngsters when they finally get their chance. Just look at deplated Everton away against Chelsea.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe, but there is also the chance it goes the other way.

  29. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who’s a better option on FH?

    A. Foden
    B. Mahrez

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez

  30. Blens
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Seriously thinking FH (reluctantly) as I have 7 players right now, 2 of whom are flagged (Lukaku and Tomiyasu) - what do you think?
    Alternatively take a -4 to get Ronny and Martinelli in for Salah and Dennis.
    So,
    A) FH
    B) Salah/Dennis > Ronny/Martinelli (-4) to get to 9 players
    C) Other
    Help please guys...this is a tough one!

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
