Millions of Dream Team players are giving up on Salah: what caused the sharp drop.

Situation in Dream Team amid changing player popularity

According to The Sun: This week, a lot of changes have accumulated in Dream Team.

At the time of writing, two players - Mohamed Salah (£7.3m) and Joao Pedro (£4.9m), who were previously very popular, are now on the list of those most often dropped ahead of the 7th round.

THE MOST POPULAR PLAYERS BEING SOLD BEFORE THE 7TH ROUND:

1. Trevo Chalobah
2. Joao Pedro
3. Mohamed Salah
4. Marc Cucurella
5. Hugo Ekitike

This is indeed a rare case where Salah's popularity is decreasing, especially when he has no health problems.

His total points are 55, placing him second among forwards. However, he trails his long-time rival Erling Haaland (£7.7m) by 33 points.

This is even before Manchester City plays against Monaco this evening.

Those who picked the Egyptian superstar over Haaland at the beginning of the season and remained loyal to their choice have suffered significant losses.

It is clear that the 6th round became a critical moment for many managers.

Salah scored three points against Crystal Palace, and in the game against Galatasaray, he earned just one point, playing only 28 minutes as a substitute.

In contrast, Haaland earned 21 points with two goals and an assist when his team crushed Burnley.

The Norwegian forward may complicate matters even further if he performs again in the Champions League later today.

Switching Salah to Haaland seems obvious this week, especially for those who unjustifiably chose the latter at the start of the season.

Nevertheless, the Anfield hero is capable of generating significant winnings in the coming weeks, as his team under Arne Slot will face Manchester United, Frankfurt, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Real within 17 days after the international break.

Dream Team managers who have both Haaland and Salah in their squad are hoping for a successful autumn.

As for Pedro, his week has gone even worse than Salah's.

The Brazilian forward had little impact in the match against his former club Brighton, earning only three points for the match.

On Tuesday night, he received two yellow cards against Benfica in just 29 minutes on the field, which deducted two points from his score.

The 'Blues' team has been frequently receiving red cards lately.

Pedro’s total points from the two matches amounted to just one point, which triggered a decline in his popularity.

His current ownership stands at 32.9%, which still makes him the fourth most popular choice in Dream Team, although at one point he was in 45% of teams.

Enough patience!

The 24-year-old player will miss the next Champions League match, so he will not be able to play in the 8th round.

It's clear why many managers have lost their patience.

This Saturday, Salah and Pedro will meet again as Liverpool heads to West London.

Thus, considering the recent results, Dream Team managers should rethink their strategies before upcoming rounds. The situation with Salah and Pedro's popularity indicates how quickly a player's status in a team can change and adjust coach plans. The next matches could be decisive for the return of these footballers’ popularity.
