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.

    Salah > Son to give me this team, good enough for this week?

      is Guaita back?

      1. Il Capitano
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No clue, not heard anything but don't think it's worth a -4. Hopefully he's back so I can hold for the Norwich game before sending him on his merry way

    Bench Rudiger or ESR?

    Is Gundogan likely to play?

    1. EmreCan Hustle

      I have him. Hoping he starts.

  4. Ludde

    Is it good enough to have this XI without FH? Have a feeling that many of my players are at risk to get benched.

      I’d -8 and save FH. Who knows what next GW will look like and want to save chips

  11. Heisenberg W. W.

    So torn on Mahrez vs Foden.

    Would prefer Mahrez but suspect Foden will be the one to play.

    ​Which move to fund Son and CR7 as in need of 0.3?

    A) King to broja (dont need either to play, would love to hold King for DGWs)
    B) Livra to tsimikas (both would be on the bench)
    C) White to johnson
    D) Saka to Martinelli or Alonso to Davies also possibility

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I've just brought in Tsimikas - reckon it's worth it to have enough funds this gw and he can play the next 3

  17. JONALDINHO

    How many points would people say is worth free hitting? I’d gain 15-16 on average. Is that worth it?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Free Hit

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

      Not sure why but I always have 30 points as benchmark.

      Last season managed 56 points difference.

      Considering you’re picking the time to play it and form players etc the 30 points is based around 5-6 returns and bonuses

  18. tibollom
