Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: Most value for money pick from each of the top 6 PL clubs

Does Mo Salah make this list?

#3 Liverpool - Roberto Firmino (£9.5m)

At a valuation of £9.0m with which he began last season, there's no doubting that Mohamed Salah was an absolute bargain for the 303 points he tallied across the length of 9 months. This year though, he is the most expensive player in the game, at a whopping £13.0m.

The Egyptian might still do enough to justify his price point, but investing such a sum of money on one player means that you would have to cut corners in the rest of your squad. And many of us would prefer going in with multiple marquee players than one in our playing line-ups.

When it comes to Liverpool, you expect a plethora of goals and fast-flowing football, which means that you need to pick some forward from the Reds. This is where things get easy. You simply pick Salah next alternative. And that's Roberto Firmino. At £9.5m, he's definitely not the cheapest, but definitely the most value for money pick out there in Liverpool's proven attack.

We've all come to become fans of his no-look passes, goals and shiny ties. But besides all the flashy stuff, the Brazilian does put in a shift every time he takes the field. His false false-9 role which is unique to him across the world allows the likes of Mo Salah and Sadio Mane to cut in from the flanks and weave their magic while he dictates play sitting deep.

Bobby Firmino's efforts reflect in his bonus points tally too, with the Liverpool No. 9 recording 29 of the same in his overall points tally of 181 points last season. With 15 goals and 8 assists, you simply can't look over him.
