The Scout is looking at the ICT Index, which helps Fantasy Premier League managers look beyond points to determine players' values as FPL assets through their Influence, Creativity and Threat.

Midfielders and Threat:

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) is the standout midfielder for Threat in the ICT Index over the opening four Gameweeks.

The Threat component measures a player's potential to produce goals.

Salah has only scored two goals this season but, incredibly, his score of 278.0 is more than 100 clear of any midfield rival. It highlights the Egyptian's huge potential for goals.

Salah is followed in the ranking by his team-mate Sadio Mane (£9.9m), on 171.0.

Mane is the top-scoring midfielder in FPL on 39 points, having scored four goals.

But these goals have come from just 10 shots, a high conversion rate of 40 per cent.

Along with Salah, Eden Hazard (£10.7m) and David Silva (£8.5m) are the only players to be among the top 10 midfielders for both Threat and Creativity.

Hazard's Chelsea team-mate Pedro (£6.8m) has scored in three of the first four Gameweeks and has been bought by more than 184,000 managers for a Gameweek 5 home match with Fulham.
