Episode notes
Pick Salah For Midfield Bonus
- Prioritise Mohamed Salah over Erling Haaland because midfielders get extra points for goals and Salah historically scored more fantasy points.
- Be mindful Salah costs £14.5m versus Haaland £14.0m which affects team balance.
Midfield Goals Now Worth More
- Midfielders now earn an extra point for goals, increasing their fantasy value compared with forwards.
- This scoring tweak makes elite midfielders like Salah more valuable than equally priced strikers.
Balance Attack With Two Proven Strikers
- Build a balanced attack by selecting two reliable forwards and a bench forward to cover injuries and rotations.
- Choose proven Premier League scorers like Ollie Watkins for consistency over hyped newcomers.
