Captain Salah one last time? FPL team of the week

2 hours ago 45

Mohamed Salah (captain), Liverpool, £14m - Crystal Palace (h)

You have to take a punt on Salah this week if you can, not least because it might be the last chance you get - with him leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.

Palace could end up being favourable opponents this week, if they are distracted at all by their European fixture.

And Salah has a goal in his past three starts. His numbers in that time aren't incredible - four shots on target, three big chances and three goals.

But Salah is on penalties and it wouldn't be a surprise if he found his way to two returns, which is what you want from a captain.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £10.3m - Brentford (h)

United flopped in their last home game - the 2-1 defeat by Leeds - but Fernandes still returned an assist.

He'll likely be on the teamsheet each week until the end of the season and is also a great captain choice.

Harry Wilson, Fulham, £6m - Aston Villa (h)

Only Fernandes (49%) has been involved in more of his side's goals this season than Wilson (43%).

Over their past six games, only Chelsea and Burnley have conceded more than Villa's 13 goals.

Expecting this match to be high-scoring, an attacking asset from each team makes this week's XI.

Casemiro, Manchester United, £5.7m - Brentford (h)

Three goals in his past five starts for Casemiro and only Arsenal (19) have scored more set-piece goals than United (16), which is where the Brazilian thrives.

This is also a pick that backs United's attack - the third-highest scoring at home - to overcome Brentford's defence.

The Bees have conceded 1.11 goals per game at home compared to 1.56 on the road.
