There's freedom in their attacking play without the Egyptian as their talisman. Hugo Ekitike (£8.9m) is now top of the shopping list with Alexander Isak out long-term with an injury. Ekitike is their leading goalscorer after netting eight times in the Premier League and is in a rich vein of form. Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.6m) is an FPL differential who looks set to take penalty duties in Salah's absence and is another buy come gameweek 19, once his suspension has been served. Florian Wirtz (£8.1m) is also worth a punt as his minutes look secure with Salah and Isak out.
