🗨️“Salah is a different level when he starts without Mane” was claimed by @ahopcroft13 today.
At first I thought that this phenomenon was surely caused by the bad level of the opposition in the games without Mane. So I took a deep-dive into the stats 🧐 [Thread]
First lets look at Salah’s returns starting alongside Mane (1st) vs Salah starting without Mane (2nd)
Starts – 27 v 6
Goals – 12 v 7
Assist – 6 v 4
G+A/start – 0.67 v 1.83
Salah noted almost 3 times higher output without Mane! 😮
Salah started 6 matches without Mane in 19\20 - scoring 7 out of his 19 total goals! It is noticeable however, how easy the opposition were in these games. All the teams being among the 9 worst defensive teams in the league (Referred to as “The Bramble” teams by @lateriser12)
Inspired by @FFScout_Joe’s talk of price points I’ve looked at which price points are the most stacked with players I *might* want soon. At the moment I’m looking at picking minimum one player from each of the 6 price points listed in this [Thread]
Midfielder 11.5 to 12.0m:
- Aubamayang
- Salah
- Mane
- KDB
- Sterling
