Or...

Salah is being rested as we speak. He’s on holiday as are the rest of the first team which is why Liverpool kids are playing Shrewsbury in the FA Cup replay.
When they all get back they will be rested plus Klopp will want the first eleven to dust the cobwebs off prior to the CL match.
I have no proof that any of them will or won’t play but this is why I am not concerned about benchings next game week

Hmm...is either Salah (Kun) or Kun (Salah) too risky a pairing? Very unlikely but what if both got rested or reduced minutes...I’m tempted to change to Salah (Auba) instead.

That last sentence is the same type of thinking that cost me 14 points last GW.
Trying to be to clever and over thinking it just backfires imo

See you in 2 weeks? You in trouble again?

No need to captain Mané. He’s likely to be back but objectively he is the one who is most at risk as he’s currently injured. Play him and any points you get will be a bonus

Sterling might be out for a couple of weeks, which might push Jesus to the left. Lets see what Pep says at the presser.

True, and we don't know who Pep will field thus we're left to speculate/guesstimate. If Sterling is officially confirmed out it doesn't make me less inclined to do Aguero(C) that is for sure. I'll leave it to others how it affects their decision making and Salah does look sharp at the moment.

Salah is gonna score a hat-trick very soon. Also, Man City-West Ham scores are very different home and away.

I'm torn between Salah and KdB, armband on Mo at the mo. Also I can't believe people are now complaining about having too many options in the poll after weeks of moaning about names being missed off the list 😂

That's a fair point... No use overthinking it stuck on Salah now (until I change my mind 2 mins before deadline).

Mane C Salah V

He who dares.....loses in my case 🤣

I just have a feeling he will score a couple and everyone who TC him recently be moaning saying he was meant to do that 2 week ago.

Ive only myself to blame if this backfires, but having Mane as a massive differential could boost me up this overall league, if he outperforms Salah

Would like to see numbers independently for people who have both Salah and Aguero.

I have both, and I have the armband on Aguero at the moment. Literally the only reason is because City are at home and Liverpool aren't. Could definitely be swayed.

Mane could be back - definitely factors in though.
It does...massively. Salah's returns when Mané hasn't started the game compared to when he has is quite staggering, and using the eye test it looks as though Salah tries to create more when playing with Mané who keeps screwing up the big chances, e.g. Leicester.

If Mané is back then I'll probably regret not captaining Firmino instead.

Going safety with Salah. Aside from playing a wack defensive team, Salah should at least be a safe starter. You never know when you'll get Pep'd with Aguero.

It's like Any Given Sunday with defensive show ups. Norwich aren't excluded from this no matter how bad they can be at the back. West Ham can also 'do a job' defensively but I think they are more likely to pull that off. So I'm not gonna win friends with Salah(d) but I won't let Liverpool do me dirty yet again in this regressive rubberbanding mini-season I'm having.

This GW really is an absolute load of nonsense. Going with Salah, but fully expecting to find he's injured in the space between games.
