1. Salah Morale & Confidence?
Being benched or not starting in recent matches can impact Salah's confidence. High-profile players often thrive on regular game time; a dip might lead to decreased motivation or form. However, experienced players like Salah can also use such situations as motivation to prove their worth.
2. Team Tactics & Managerial Decisions?
The manager might be experimenting with tactical setups or resting Salah for upcoming fixtures, especially if Liverpool has a congested schedule or if they’re managing fitness levels. Sometimes, tactical adjustments can temporarily sideline star players but aim for team benefit.
3. Contract & Future Prospects?
Salah’s contract with Liverpool is a key factor. If he’s nearing renewal, the club might be cautious with his use to manage wages and longevity. Alternatively, if he's in the final year of his deal, it could influence his playing time and transfer rumors.
4. Injury & Fitness Considerations?
Recent non-starts might be due to minor injuries or fitness concerns. If so, his situation could improve once he’s fully fit, impacting his future performance and availability.
In Fantasy FPL Perspective, Is it worth keeping Salah or selling?
Sell if:
- You need to free up funds for other key players.
- Salah’s recent performances and lack of starts suggest his potential for points is currently limited.
- You believe Liverpool’s tactics or his form will not improve soon, risking further low returns.
Keep if:
- You’re confident Salah will regain his starting spot and form soon.
- You have patience and see his potential for returns in upcoming fixtures, especially if Liverpool faces teams where Salah traditionally excels.
- You have a flexible squad and can cover his potential blank or low-scoring games.
My Advice:
Salah will be out starting from GW17-22 for international duty, it a good time to sale him out for a player with more consistent starting opportunities for the upcoming fixtures.
Evaluating back his worth after GW22, If Salah’s benching continues and his expected points are low, do not need to bring him in.
