Salah a 6m midfielder. Does that make it a 10 player game? Sanchez and Mane also midfielders.

Simple Salah Summer Sweepstake

Post by Maldini »

SPR wins!

Surprised they’ve kept him as a midfielder but even more surprised they’ve only priced him at £6m.

I suppose, there’s a very good chance he had a freak season and will do well to score half the amount of goals this season.

But there’s a chance he becomes Ronaldo/Messi like in his goal scoring as well.

They’ve priced him as if he’s going to lose upto 1/3 of his points...

That's the odd thing. They often price in terms of points scored or what they see as potential (Jesus at 6.4 and Aubameyang at 6.6 for example). To price him lower than Morata seems very strange.

All because they asked the numpty masses what he should be. They said "midfielder" and so dumb old TFF went along with it and, even more stupidly, priced him as a midfielder.

If he even makes the pitch in pre season he surely gets in everybody's team.

Oh well, I only have to think about 10 players now!

Was their poll a subtle way of asking if people preferred a 10 player game instead of a 1 player game?

Where the 1 player game would be deciding whether or not to take an £8m Salah? Dooming all those who got that decision wrong.

Yes! You get to buy Salah in all your TFF teams for just £6m. And, as an added bonus, you can pretend he is a midfielder! Not only that but I'll chuck in a potential extra £40k when this unexpected bonus wins you the game.

The thing with making Salah a £6m midfielder is Firmino is £6.5m as a striker, why would you ever choose to have Firmino over Salah? So it's either both or just Salah, with I assume most opting to start with just the latter. They really should have priced Salah around £7m regardless of whether he was a midfielder in the game or not, as is you're always going to pick him as the value is obvious when comparing to similarly priced strikers.
