Sometimes you need a saviour. Sometimes you need a hero. Sometimes you need a burger. Sometimes you need a Salah. That's my little ditty in homage to my (and, to be fair, everyone else with a brain's) 58 point captain pick from Gameweek 31. I'm willing to wager my left blarcc Mo man scored about 70% of the total FPL points this weekend and what a relief it was too. So, reinvigorated, we stride cocksure into Gameweek 32, brimming with confidence and a Salah swag in our step.
If my ego could take penalties right now, this is how they'd all look
BUY LOW
Wilfried Zaha (6.8) -- Crystal Palace | LIV (H)
Another cloud which has seemingly passed overhead this week is the injury to Fantasy darling Zaha.
He didn't exactly come back with a bang but should be fit to play a Liverpool defence which I'm still not convinced won't leak severely from time to time. And knowing me, Bantasy Football, knowing him Wilfried Zaha (Zaha!), put the man on the pitch and the man will hit the...

FOOL'S GOLD
Marcus Rashford (7.3) -- Manchester United | SWA (H)
Hot off a brace and up against the whipping Swans, Mark should be a prime candidate for inclusion in your FPL line up, surely?
Well, no actually, because despite his immense talent and the fact that he could quite figuratively be United's future, Mourinho only plays him for a (made up) average of 30 minutes a game.
Maybe he's not got the eye for talent that he used to, or maybe United just spaff too much money on spenny forwards, but you can't trust Rash to even play, let alone bag you megapoints.
He'll much more likely be sitting on the sidelines peeking over the wall hoping to get his ball on like a creep.
SELL HIGH
Ben Davies (5.9) -- Tottenham | CHE (A)
Tottenham's overall run-in is great but their next few fixtures sure ain't: Trips to Chelsea and Stoke followed by a visit from Pep's Champs elect (not to be confused with the Asian doggyboner tournament). Danny Rose started his first Premier League game since 2017 against Bournemouth so that's a thing. And Poch seems to be giving a surprising number of fucks about the FA Cup, which could mean more rotation and another blank fixture if they reach the final.
Davies is therefore a pretty unappetising prospect in the short-medium term, and given there are only 7 weeks left of the season, you'd be madhouse not to sell him.
Wayne Rooney (7.2) -- Everton | MCI (H)
There's plenty of subtext for Wazza's next few fixtures - his ex-Manchester rivals, his erstwhile and also present Merseyside rivals, and a trip to Swansea where he was once propositioned by a ball boy.
But whilst subtext does seem to push goals into fruition, it can't do much to help a player who hasn't scored more than 3 Fantasy points since before Christmas.
Admittedly there's not much on offer in his price bracket, but you really need to shift Wayne ASAP if you're gonna finish strong.
