FPL 19/20 Chapter 9: Salah, Salah choice?!

Finally, International fixtures are coming to an end again and FPL is back!

Not many injuries to look at for now. KDB's status is still not confirmed. Salah is still nursing an injury and has trained separately from the main team as well. Would it be prudent to take Salah out now?





Many Salah owners have recently stopped believing in him after the past 8 games.
From a points perspective,  he is not worth the 12.5 million price tag. Especially when there are better performers at that price point (Mane and KDB specifically).

Salah’s next 5 fixtures - MUN(A), TOT(H), AVL(A), MCI(H), CRY(A)
- He has never scored or assisted against Man United in the Premier League in 4 appearances.
- He has 3 goals & 1 assist against Tottenham in 4 appearances.

He might or might not play as well this coming derby against Man Utd given that he was still recovering from an injury. However, if he does play, it would be against a severely weakened Red Devils side with Pogba, AWB and De Gea still out injured.

There are some rational reasons to keep Salah in your team. Comparing just the first 8 games, he has performed slightly better than last season. Top goalscorers in the EPL 2018/2019 were Auba, Mane and him. Furthermore, he has the most touches in the box compared to any other player. Well, if only those touches become actual goals. That would be great.

Will the Salah disbelievers be punished for their weakness in faith? Time will only tell.
