Really? I thought there was an abundance of good choices in midfield, not so much among forwards. Hazard and Sanchez were ruled out because of better options whereas there was a time when we were stuck with Morata because there was nobody else.

Arnautovic is another who should be reclassified.

Wouldn’t/shouldn’t Hazard and Sanchez be reclassified if the likes of Salah is?

Mane too for that matter.

Don't know if this makes sense, but Hazard plays more like a mid than Salah. It's an eye assessment more than anything else but the BPS supports the view.

Mane is difficult to judge, maybe keep as such? No need to reclassify. Sanchez.. will depend a lot on how Mourinho plays. Man United already have a premium forward, so FPL might decide to retain him as a premium mid.

Tbh, by the Sanchez logic, Salah should also stay a mid. Firmino already occupies the FWD slot. Reversing their positions can be argued.

I posted this in the sun forum... might as well complete my walk of shame;

Zimmerman wrote: 23 Aug 2017, 22:29 Salah - Stuart Downing with big hair. I'll go on record now... after 5 games, he looks distinctly average. I'm not even sure he's quick (though he was meant to be rapid)? Deceptively slow and a touch like Titus Bramble.

In GW10
Out GW33
In 35
Out 37
In 38

Flogging him in 33 (along with a load of value) might have been decisive for me. It looked ominous in terms of his potential minutes and I had the FH and WC to call on as a back up. Should maybe have held my nerve.

Gw1 here. :D Read some reviews on the RAWK forum during pre-season where the tactics were mentioned during those games which showed Salah to be the most dangerous player and the one with the most potential. Safe to say, that was great insight.

I had Salah every week since GW1... Though I went for him to save the 0.5 over Mane, who I preferred. Pretty much couldn't let him go due to TV reasons, even if I'd wanted to, an idea which I dabbled with once or twice.

If a player is a forward he should be classified as one. It should be nothing to do with choice. Mane is a forward too, yes. Hazard is another example of a player that should be classified as a forward, also players like Zaha for example.

Salah's position is still wrong. Silly really. He should be listed as a forward.

I already said that in my post. You are agreeing with me.

I actually agree with what you're saying in principle but having played the WC game this summer, they had basically classified all the wide players as forwards and it led to a really odd distribution of players that I think would make FPL less enjoyable.

Agree with this completely. I think game enjoyment should take priority over fastidious technical accuracy, even if FootballFanatic is technically correct when he says that Salah is really a forward.
