bickster Posted October 21, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2022 1 hour ago, a-k said: Salah looks like he's maybe starting to hit form Disagree, it depends where he plays. He plays wide when Darwin Nunez starts and thats where he rarely gets returns. Picking Salah is a gamble that Nunez doesn't start. Midweek, he got three points, played out wide again. Last weekend played up front, got a return. Playing Salah imo is a gamble based on Darwin Nunez not playing. Now Nunez also after a slow start due to injury and suspension seems to be getting his act together and in my mind, that means lots more of Salah out wide With respect to KDB, unless you have Foden in your team already, there is no point, just get Foden instead. Even now with Foden's price rapidly shooting up, there is still over £3.5mil in value to be saved. Foden's price went up last night and is predicted to rise again tonight so be quick to make that decision. EDIT: I also think Nunez or Firmino are better options points wise and pts per £ wise than Salah if you don't have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2022 I switched from KDB to Salah given the extra fixture Salah had but I’ll probably switch back to KDB for a couple of fixtures before the World Cup Neither of them are value for money at the moment but their fixtures need to be attacked.

bickster Posted October 22, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2022 Going to play Ward ahead of Pope this week for a bit of a differential in my work league Next decision is who to replace next week, Rashford, Peresic or Pope. That decision kinda rests on performances this week. Curent thinking is Saka in for Rashford but I could be tempted to downgrade Peresic to White or Pope to a cheaper option put more money back in the pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted October 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2022 it's kinda sad that just cannot get excited about haaland goals in the top 1m, he has 99% ownership, of which 90% captained him. it means so little...effective points for my team is only 0.5 for that goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
