How do Salah’s underlying numbers compare to past seasons?

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) dropped again in price last night, with his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownership now dipping below 30%.

We know why he’s been deemed dispensable by many managers: he simply can’t compete with Erling Haaland‘s (£12.2m) output at the moment, while other cheaper premium assets like Kevin De Bruyne (£12.4m) and Harry Kane (£11.4m) are bettering his current points-per-match average.

Another suggested (and connected) reason for his decline in appeal has been his perceived dip in goal threat.

While this season is still in its infancy, we thought we’d take a look at what underlying numbers the Egyptian has been posting in the past compared to what he’s delivering right now.

All the graphics below are expandable by clicking on them, with data taken from our Premium Members Area.

SHOTS IN THE BOX

Salah is currently below par in terms of shots in the box this season, though not dramatically below the historic mean.

There have been drier spells: a mid-season slump in 2020/21 was worse, which featured a 12-game stretch in which he only once registered more than two shots in the box in a league fixture.

BIG CHANCES

Big chances are similarly down on his historic six-game average.

It’s actually improved since the end of last season, however, when there was a real shortage of gilt-edged opportunities: just three of those came in Salah’s final nine appearances of the season.

      Anything is possible. I Feel like he will come on as a sub if only a goal down, otherwise just plays the next game directly and gets subbed off after an hour or so if they are winning.

        He’ll be rested imo

        Piksi (the national team selector) went and visited him on Thursday evening, my guess and bet he is making sure Mitro doesn’t risk it since he is super important for the WC

    Is it wise to take 1 or 2 hits to get back Liverpool Arsenal and City players in for GW13 and onwards? Blank in GW12 creating a big problem.

    So only 2 names I shortlisted

    A) Guaita - LEE(H) LEI(A) WOL(H)
    B) Kepa - WOL(H) AVL(A) BRE(A)

    For B, I don't know if Kepa is nailed

      Not at all. You want to maximise points bereenwood tween now and GW16 and there's so many good midfield options ut makes sense. On WC too and was considering Greenwood and 5 good mids. Still went with Wilson and Andreas because I need starters for GW12, have 3 City now. Andreas will, Greenwood won't.

    What to do with this midfield:

    No other big issues, but i keep Mitro so dont want to play 3 in midfield in case he doesnt play.

    Only 0.1 itb. I see no good 1 ft fix for Sinisterra.

    Barnes punt eased some of the pain for not having Maddison, but Im afraid of what more damage Madd can do.
