Fantasy Premier League managers are trying to comprehend how Mohamed Salah didn’t have any contribution in Liverpool’s nine goals against Bournemouth as Roberto Firmino stole the show with two goals and three assists. Given the Egyptian's incredible scoring in FPL over the years, his owners shouldn't be too worried about him suffering an attacking blank. Knowing him he'll bounce back with a hat-trick against Newcastle.
Given we gave you advice on how to handle your Liverpool assets last time out, we are going to offer you some fresh suggestions based on the latest Premier League action we witnessed over the weekend. Here are our latest three tips ahead of Gameweek Five as the first set of midweek fixtures have arrived.

Arsenal’s centre-backs might be worth having
Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the season as they came from behind to beat Fulham at the Emirates. Centre-back Gabriel made a crucial error which led to Fulham taking the lead through Aleksandar Mitrovic, but the Brazilian more than made up for it by scoring a late winner as the Emirates Stadium went wild. His winner was assisted by his defensive partner, William Saliba, who has already scored himself this season. This is worth noting as the Gunners prepare to take on struggling Aston Villa at home on Wednesday.
Current prices
Gabriel: £5.0m
Saliba: £4.7m
If you don’t have Haaland, what are you waiting for?
As Manchester City came from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 4-2 on Saturday, Erling Haaland showed his quality by scoring the first hat-trick of his Premier League career, and we expect it won’t be the last. Watching his goals back, you can see how intelligent he is by the positions he takes up to give himself the best chances to score and that is something that the few FPL managers who don’t have him in their teams need to start thinking about. With six goals already, he is the leading marksman in the league and you should get him now before his price goes up any further.
Current price
£11.8m
If you want clean sheets, Brighton are the way to go
Brighton & Hove Albion have made another bright start in the Premier League. Graham Potter’s men are unbeaten, winning three out of their first opening four games and keeping three clean sheets along the way. Their main three defenders, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster and Joel Veltman, are all cheap which shows they are great value. They travel to Craven Cottage to play Fulham on Tuesday.
Current prices
Dunk/Webster: £4.5m
Veltman: £4.6m
