FORWARDS
Mohamed Salah, LIV v. GNK ($10,500): Salah is the most expensive player on the slate, which is pretty much what happens when you have the highest anytime goal scorer odds and your team is by far the biggest favorite. Consideration for Salah really should be about how many goals he will score, as his floor for cash games is simply not high enough at this price, especially with other reasonable options at lower salaries. Salah has been dealing with an ankle injury of late, one that limited him to 65 minutes this past weekend against Aston Villa, though he has still managed to score two goals on 14 shots (seven on target) and pick up one assist on two chances created in his last three games, including a goal and an assist against Genk in the reverse fixture. Salah hasn't been crossing much, nor drawing many fouls, so again, his floor is poor for cash games, but his ceiling is quite high on this slate, and with many people eyeing Liverpool because they are big favorites, he should be decently owned. As a result, Sadio Mane ($10,300) and Roberto Firmino ($9,400) could be decent GPP pivots
