Finding a way to bring in Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) should be a priority for managers in Fantasy Premier League.
Liverpool’s Egyptian is set to embark on a hugely favourable run-in, giving him the chance to deliver major hauls across the remainder of the campaign.
Salah's immediate appeal is lifted by a home meeting with Nottingham Forest in Blank Gameweek 32.

He has amassed 45 points over his last four matches at Anfield, scoring five goals and supplying two assists.
Salah will be a vital pick for managers playing their Free Hit chip to navigate a Gameweek where a number of highly-owned players from Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are without a fixture.
More than 96,000 currently have their Free Hit chip active, over three times the total of any other chip.

While Salah can help navigate Blank Gameweek 32, Liverpool’s subsequent schedule shows why he should be considered a long-term acquisition in Fantasy.
Liverpool’s run-in
| GW | Opp. | FDR | GW | Opp. | FDR |
| 32 | NFO (H) | 2 | 36 | LEI (A) | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 34 | TOT (H), FUL (H) | 3, 2 | 38 | SOU (A) | 2 |

The Reds have four home matches in the next four Gameweeks, including a pair of Anfield encounters with Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham in Double Gameweek 34.
Meanwhile, his remaining three away matches are against three of the bottom six clubs.
That schedule gives Salah the opportunity to enjoy a successful end to the campaign, starting against Nottingham Forest this weekend.
