At home to <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2016\/08\/11\/cardiff-city-lack-firepower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cardiff<\/a>, the Egyptian just has to be your captain. His position is strengthened by the fact that he will take any penalties <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/items\/liverpools-rebuilding-period-finally-complete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> might get with Milner injured. It would take a very brave man to go without Salah as captain this week. However, other Reds might be worth considering. Firmino and Mane are both huge threats whereas Robertson could be a great differential pick. A Clean sheet is possible and maybe one assist to get the total into double figures? Decisions must be made.<\/p>\n<p>Other captaincy picks for the brave ones are few and far between. With City taking on <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/10\/new-spurs-stadium-to-end-wembley-woes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spurs<\/a>, it would be prudent to stay away from that game. Hazard being doubtful also takes out another popular captaincy pick. Man Utd and <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/13\/why-lucas-torreira-has-been-the-key-to-arsenals-resurgence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a> players might be worth picking but can they be considered as captains? What about the Fulham-Bournemouth fixture? That could see a lot of goals being scored. Mitrovic, King, Wilson, Fraser or even Schurrle might be worth considering. It would take a man with really massive cojones to captain one of them over Salah though.<\/p>\n<h2>Injury Concerns<\/h2>\n<p>The big one is definitely Eden Hazard. My gut says Sarri will not take a risk on him but who knows.<\/p>\n<p>Another doubtful player is Jamie Vardy. He has a decent home fixture but apparently, he was sick and might be out of the squad. This could make Ihenacho an enticing prospect.<\/p>\n<p>Josh King is also rated as doubtful but he should start anyways.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Picks<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Mohamed Salah (12.9)<\/li>\n<li>Andrew Robertson (6.4)<\/li>\n<li>Roberto Firmino (9.3)<\/li>\n<li>Sadio Man\u00e9 (9.7)<\/li>\n<li>Aleksandar Mitrovic (6.9)<\/li>\n<li>Callum Wilson (6.5)<\/li>\n<li>Alexandre Lacazette (9.8)<\/li>\n<li>James Maddison (7.0)<\/li>\n<li>Danny Ings (5.6)<\/li>\n<li>Romelu Lukaku (10.9)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main image credit:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"EnReUHbvSOx7RJ8jzBtEtw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1052954988\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'EnReUHbvSOx7RJ8jzBtEtw',sig:'CZ8hs09YE9smu20ab2kuynUGoQgyB-lrFj9tRgbXtF8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1052954988',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big game of the week is not taking place at Wembley.
