"Fantasy Premier League managers who ditched Mohamed Salah - he is now owned by fewer than four in 10 teams - will be looking nervously at Liverpool's home game against Manchester United. Salah has 13 goals and six assists in 15 league matches against United, which is some record. This is where you need to decide what matters most to you as an FPL manager - form, statistics or history."
"His expected goals is just 2.13 in seven games and he's only had five shots on target. So this team of the week has no Salah, Erling Haaland as captain and the budget spread more evenly. Of course, that decision could go spectacularly wrong! The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a 100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit."
"Much has been made of Newcastle's superb defensive start to the season, with a league-high five clean sheets. But away from home they have scored ZERO goals - three 0-0 draws - and managed just six shots on target. If that trend continues, Brighton have a decent chance of a first clean sheet of the season. Gabriel (6.3m) and Jurrien Timber (5.9m), Arsenal - Fulham (a) Last week I wrote: "West Ham (h), Fulham (a), Crystal Palace (h), Sunderland (a), Burnley (a).""
Mohamed Salah is now owned by fewer than 40% of FPL teams and faces Liverpool v Manchester United, where he has 13 goals and six assists in 15 league matches. Current form and metrics show only two goals and four returns this season, with expected goals 2.13 from seven matches and five shots on target. The team of the week omits Salah, names Erling Haaland as captain and balances budget across positions within a 100m Free Hit build. Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen is selected for a home clean-sheet chance against Newcastle, while Arsenal defenders Gabriel and Jurrien Timber are recommended for a favourable fixture run.
