Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) could get a Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 1 score that will make managers regret not captaining him for the opening weekend.
The 2019/20 Gameweek 1 deadline is today at 19:00 BST, an hour before Liverpool kick off the season at home to Norwich City, and FPL expert David Munday sees possible Salah fireworks from the off.
The Egyptian has been top FPL points-scorer in each of his two seasons at Anfield and Munday says Salah's popularity, owned by 40.7 per cent of managers, cannot be ignored.
"You have to think about Salah's ownership," he said on the first FPL Show of the season. "It's really high and a lot of people are going to captain him, so if you don't captain him and he bangs then you're in a bit of trouble."
Raheem Sterling (£12.0m) is also a captaincy candidate for Manchester City's trip to West Ham United, but expert Az Phillips expects Salah to outscore him this weekend.
"You can't see West Ham keeping Man City out, so you've got to think that Sterling will score a goal in that game," said Phillips. "I just think that Salah could score four. That's the difference."
