FPL Show: 'Salah is a risk as captain'

Fantasy Premier League

Palace defensive duo are why Fantasy expert says managers should snub most popular player for armband

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."
