Are Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland now essential if you want to succeed in FPL this season? Thomas Woods breaks down the statistics.
Three gameweeks of the Fantasy Premier League season are in the bag and the international break is a good chance to reflect on the state of your team and what we've learned so far.
Yes, you can have a Cole Palmer or Bukayo Saka in there too, but almost every other player in your squad would be £5.5m or less - and history tells us that those prices don't often result in high-scoring FPL players. For example, a combination of Salah and Villa's Morgan Rogers could become Palmer and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo , so if you prefer how that looks in your team then go for it.
Trent Alexander-Arnold , Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk are the three highest-scoring defenders, with Liverpool the only side to have kept three clean sheets this season. This suggests they will easily improve on last season's 10 clean sheets and, with Forest and Bournemouth at home next, a double-digit haul for one of their defenders is on the cards.If you're having Haaland and Salah, then you need value up front. Look no further than Brighton's Joao Pedro .
