In the past three weeks Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has 31 FPL points, 10 more than anyone except Chris Wood (27) and 16 more than the next best premium asset, Cole Palmer (15).

Pedro Porro, Spurs, defender, £5.5m – home to Ipswich
If you’ve owned Porro this season you’ve probably lost patience and I don’t blame you, but hear me out.
The Spain right-back has the most crosses (64) and shots (19) of any defender and has made more final-third passes (216) than any …
