Fantasy Premier League tips: Mohamed Salah alternatives you need to sign
MOHAMED SALAH is not an essential Fantasy Premier League superstar – but you're going to need some big players to replace him.
Fantasy Premier League bosses are piling on Mohamed Salah ahead of the 2018/19 season with the Liverpool star selected in over 50 per cent of teams around the world.
The Egyptian star set the all-time record points total at 303 during his debut season at Anfield, and despite a sharp price rise, he's still overwhelmingly popular.
Salah costs £13.0m in Fantasy Premier League this year, millions more than the likes of Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Leroy Sane who also set the league alight.
The 26-year-old sensation will no doubt enjoy a strong season, but is he really worth sacrificing talent across your whole XI?
There are several top class midfield alternatives who could fill his boots without the premium price.
