Mohamed Salah's statistics for Liverpool
A huge part of the Dutchman's success story has been contributed by Salah who continues to be in top form despite the uncertainty around his contract.
The Egyptian has 16 goal involvements of the 24 Liverpool have scored this season in the Premier League.
What changes did Salah make to his FPL?
According to FPL Local, Salah reportedly made changes to his team before the Friday deadline for game week 13.
The former AS Roma man is said to have transferred out Manchester City duo Josko Gvardiol and Ederson and replaced them with Arsenal's William Saliba and Nottingham's Mats Selz. He also captained himself.
It is an interesting decision, given that the 32-year-old will be directly against Gvardiol in the Sunday contest. Manchester City have already shipped in 17 goals, the worst of the top six teams, and Salah will be raring to unleash his form on the beleaguered champions.
