Owners of Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) were very happy coming out of Gameweek 4, as the Egyptian scored twice and picked up 13 FPL points. However, from a team and individual perspective it was misery for Salah as Liverpool fell to a crushing 7-2 defeat away to Aston Villa. It was a similar story, although nowhere near as bad for Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) with the Man City star scoring and picking up 9 FPL points, although City failed to beat Leeds with their clash ending a 1-1 draw.
Liverpool are involved in the Merseyside derby in Gameweek 5 at Goodison Park against Everton, whilst Man City host Arsenal. Goals are usually scarce when Liverpool visit the Toffees, whilst City normally find goals against the Gunners. Although Sterling is an injury doubt having pulled out of international duty through injury. With his availability in doubt for Gameweek 5, we have to plump for Salah here to be on the safe side.
Verdict: Mohamed Salah
