Can you captain Marmoush over Salah? FPL tips and team of the week

I’m confident going up against Mohamed Salah as the captain for the first time in a while in the Fantasy Premier League gameweek.

That might seem daft to say if you look at the Egyptian’s past seven scores – 16, 13, 8, 12, 14, 6, 15.

He has been quiet in those games and will now face a Merseyside derby, which has the potential to turn into a tight game, despite having only scored in one of his previous five games in all competitions.

Leicester City face Manchester City in a fierce match, and with Erling Haaland almost certainly absent, Omar Marmoush has a great chance to score a goal.

If Haaland, who had his ankle in a protective boot during City’s FA Cup win at Bournemouth, was fit, it would be a little easier to make a decision.

In this game, nine out of ten FPL players would have led Haaland over Salah in a matchup six months ago.

Marmoush scored 15 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season, and he has already scored four in seven league games for City.

David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.5m – Fulham (h)

Arsenal has the second-most clean sheets this season, with 11 clean sheets coming from Raya, who has four in his previous seven. This game is one of the chances of clean sheets coming out this week.

Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol, £6 million- Leicester City (h)

City may struggle to maintain a clean sheet this year, but they must do so when facing a Leicester side that has only scored once in their last 14 games.

That’s awful from Foxes, and Gvardiol could score with a goal and score you a 15-pointer.

Manchester City’s Ruben Dias, £5.4 million– Leicester City (h)

Due to the reasons cited above, Manchester City should defend twice this week. Dias appears to be the first choice after his first three league starts.

Dias seems to be City’s best option if we’re looking for a cheeky attacking return with a chance to keep up a clean sheet.

No, he hasn’t scored in the league in two years! However, he made seven attacking returns in 2021-22. Every drought has its end at a certain point.

Everton (h) – Jarell Quansah, Liverpool, £3.9 million

A major bargain is $3.9 million for a piece of defense that has kept the most spotless this season.

Liverpool face Everton at home, but the Derby game can go either way. They should outsmart their rivals, expect to win, and should dominate.

Milos Kerkez, Bournemouth, Ipswich (h) for £5.2 million

In his last three games, the Hungarian is currently rolling with assists. There were no clean sheets at the time, but if he can combine them, he’ll be alarmed.

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool, £13.7m – Everton (h)

This week, Salah is out of armband. If you decide to bet against him and follow my advice, you’re just hoping he has a “quiet” game, which for him would mean just one goal or perhaps even one assist.

Ipswich (h) Justin Kluivert, Bournemouth, £6.3 million

Although they appear to be excellent at using Bournemouth attacking assets, they have recently fallen behind.

Additionally, Andoni Iraola’s rotational roster, which includes their FA Cup match against Manchester City on Sunday, makes this game feel prime for at least a few players.

Every Bournemouth player is therefore a slightly risky pick, but I’m betting on Kluivert with his form and penalties.

Ismaila Sarr, Southampton, £5.6 million (a)

With Jean-Philippe Mateta likely to start back up front, Palace will look forward to a respectable victory over Saints, who has 26 points in his previous two games.

Sarr, a midfielder for Senegal, has scored 43 shots this season, compared to his teammate’s 83, but more than half (24) have been on target, which is the most by any Palace player.

Only Salah and Cole Palmer have created more outstanding midfield chances.

Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, $5.7 million, Tottenham (h)

Nkunku is revealing aspects of the offer that many FPL players had in mind.

Only Palmer has allowed more shots in the Chelsea box than Nkunku in the previous four games.

Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush (captain), £7.3 million- Leicester (h)

Marmoush has four goals from six shots on target, four shots in the box, and two big chances since making his league debut in Gameweek 23.

You must consider three more factors, besides the fact that those underlying statistics are effective but not particularly impressive.

1 – Opportunity – He’s certain to be playing front-row for City in a game where they could win lots of points (and he’s very affordable).

2 – Watchs his hat-trick against Newcastle if he passes the eye test. The finishing by Marmoush is outstanding.

3 – Leicester City – Beto (week 24, 13 points), Mikel Merino (week 25, 13 points), Bryan Mbeumo (week 26, 14 points), Bruno Fernandes (week 29, 17 points). In recent weeks, these are all forward players who have faced Leicester. The next might be Marsmoush.

Brighton’s Joao Pedro, Aston Villa, $5.6 million (h)

With only four clean sheets this season, Villa are facing, on penalties, in form (three goals in four), at home, and in good form.

Jose Sa, Wolves, keeper, £4.4m – West Ham (h)

Liverpool striker Cody Gakpo, £7.4 million-Henderson (h)

Bournemouth midfielder Antoine Semenyo, £5.7 million transfer to Ipswich (h)

Southampton, £4.4 million defender Chris Richards (a)

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi, £5.5 million.

Awoniyi might have a great chance to fill the central striker’s position for the Champions League-chasing team, according to Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who says Chris Wood’s injury is “not good.”

The Nigerian has previously excelled in the FPL, scoring once in six straight games, but it is actually Wood’s injury and form that have kept him out of the side.

Brighton and Brighton vs. Crystal Palace (a), and Newcastle and Manchester City (b) in double gameweek.

After two solid games, a double-celebrity could lead to a potential double for Palace in Gameweek 33.
