Mohamed Salah (MID, 12.5m) has broken a Premier League record on the opening day of the season after scoring a goal for Liverpool in the win of 0-2 against Ipwsich Town at away. The Egypt international has also provided an assist in the goal of Diogo Jota (MID, 7.5m).

Salah’s goal was ninth on the first day of an English top-flight season, moving him clear of Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and Alan Shearer on the list of the Premier League’s most profilic opening-day marksmen.
It’s a statistic that we all know, but did we use this? Doubt, as Erling Haaland (MCI, FWD, 15.0m) is a most captained in the game week 1 and also most vice captained, which says anything.

We are not doubting Haaland’s potential in the game against Chelsea, but the biggest mistake in this game already was Salah and his 14 points against Ipswich.
Not even many Fantasy Premier League managers have captained him, many are not having him in their teams either, which is a big problem, for them, already.
However, the big problem will come in the coming days ahead of the game week 2, as Salah with Liverpool will play against Brentford at home, and Haaland will play against Ipwsich Town with his Manchester City at home, and it will be a big discussion among the Fantasy Premier League managers who to captain.
