What's Happening?
Mohamed Salah's performance in Liverpool's recent match against Crystal Palace has raised questions among Fantasy Premier League managers. Despite being a top scorer last season, Salah's involvement in the game was limited, with only one shot and no chances created. This comes as Liverpool adjusts to a new 4-2-3-1 formation to accommodate new signing Florian Wirtz. The tactical shift has seen Wirtz receive significantly more passes than Salah, indicating a change in the team's attacking dynamics. Salah's ownership in Fantasy Premier League has decreased, with other players like Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro gaining popularity.
Why It's Important?
The changes in Liverpool's formation and Salah's reduced involvement could have significant implications for Fantasy Premier League managers and Liverpool's overall strategy. Salah's high ownership in Fantasy leagues means that any dip in performance could affect many teams' standings. Additionally, the tactical shift suggests a potential change in Liverpool's attacking focus, which could impact Salah's scoring opportunities and influence the team's success in upcoming matches. Managers will need to closely monitor Salah's performance and Liverpool's adaptation to the new formation to make informed decisions about their Fantasy teams.
What's Next?
As Liverpool continues to integrate new players and adjust to the 4-2-3-1 formation, Fantasy Premier League managers will be watching closely to see how Salah's role evolves. The upcoming matches will provide more data on whether Salah can maintain his high scoring output or if the tactical changes will affect his performance. Managers may consider diversifying their teams by investing in other Liverpool players who are adapting well to the new system. Additionally, Liverpool's management will likely assess the effectiveness of the formation and make adjustments as needed to optimize team performance.
