With the focus understandably on Mo Salah, there has been an alarming drop in the number of managers buying Sadio Mane (9.5). Priced nearly 4.0 million lesser than his teammate, the Senegal international has been impressive this season and has been unlucky to not rack up more points in the recent games.

Opting for Mane can save a hefty amount of money which can be used to spread the funds across the team. This move could be a crucial one for FPL managers this season, as it could prove to be the difference.

Christian Eriksen has been an FPL favourite for many seasons now, but has been bought by a measly 6.1% of managers owing to his long absence due to injury. However, the Dane has come back all guns blazing, having scored 4 goals in the last 5 games. With easy fixtures up ahead, the Dane could rack up big points and make up for the time he lost in the first half of the season.

In the lower price range, David Brooks (5.0) of Bournemouth has been impressive with 2 goals and an assist in his last 4 games. The Cherries have good firepower up front, and Brooks could be a steal at his price range.

In the same range, Cardiff City offer exciting prospects, especially considering the fact that they have a great run of fixtures lined up ahead of them. Victor Camarasa (4.6) and Callum Paterson (5.1) are both good value-for-money.
