A stat I particularly like to use is goal Involvement. What percentage of goals does a player score or assist when on the pitch.
Last season Gameweeks 1-38.
Salah = 38%
Auba = 51%
Arsenal need to score 2 for Auba vs Liverpool needing your score 3 for Salah.

Defensive changes
Salah vs Leeds
Leeds have lost main Centre Back in Ben White to Brighton. As a result, they are unlikely to be as strong defensively.
Auba vs Fulham
No new signings yet for Fulham in defence so will likely line up as they did in the championship.
