Why Salah is the FPL Goat ... and why we should avoid him this season

1. Too priced for perfection. Poorer pre-season performance compared his players (no goals and no assists according to Fantasy Football Hub) than last year (1 goal, 2 assists). Why should we buy him when he is more expensive than last season but the indicators are weaker?

From Fantasy Football Hub currently - pre-season attacking output with a key player missing ...

2. Crowding out effect. Unlike usual seasons where the choice is between Salah and players from other teams... he is crowding out better picks from his own team this time. Makes more sense to buy Wirtz and Gakpo who are doing well, and whose combined cost is slightly higher than his.
3. Buy those scoring from his assists! Add to the fact that Salah is now doing more assists as part of his evolving GOAT play - why not play for those who bank in the goals (5 pts) than the assists (3 pts).
