Fantasy Premier League GW1 Bonus points: Salah misses out

He is owned by more than 2.5million Fantasy Premier League managers but choosing Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) as your captain this weekend might be a risky move.

FPL expert Az Phillips thinks last season's top scorer could struggle against Crystal Palace's in-form defenders, Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) and James Tomkins (£4.5m), on Monday night.

"Palace have not lost in 14 games when Sakho and Tomkins have started and they're a bogey team for Liverpool," he says in the latest episode of the FPL Show.

So who should managers entrust with their Gameweek 2 armband?

"Sergio Aguero against Huddersfield is just way too good to ignore," adds Az. "It's got to be him."
