M.Salah vs. Ekitiké

Final Verdict: Ekitiké

Ekitiké's superior recent form, combined with a similar upcoming fixture run, makes him the better pick this week despite Salah's higher price and experience.

Head-to-Head Analysis

Form: Ekitiké boasts a significantly better recent form (10.0 vs 6.5), suggesting he's currently in a more prolific goalscoring phase. This is crucial for short-term FPL performance.
Fixtures: Both players face similar upcoming fixtures (ARS, BUR, EVE), with a mix of home and away games and varying difficulty. Fixture advantage is negligible here.
Value: Ekitiké offers far better value (2.3 PPM vs 0.9 PPM). While Salah's price reflects his established status, Ekitiké's lower cost provides a higher return on investment.
Underlying: Both players have strong ICT indices, but Ekitiké's influence is notably higher, indicating more involvement in key game moments. His role as a forward also offers higher goal-scoring potential.
Longer View: Salah's past seasons show consistent high-scoring ability, but Ekitiké's recent form suggests he's currently outperforming his price tag and could continue to do so in the short term. Salah's previous season was excellent, but we focus on current form for this decision.

The Deciding Factor

Ekitiké's superior recent form and significantly better value (PPM) are the key factors. His current hot streak makes him the more appealing option for this gameweek.
