Haaland's on City pens. You knew that. Seven in 10 own him. Nothing to say. Fernandes takes everything at United — pens, free kicks, corners — at £11.9m with 4 in 10 owning him. Priced for what he is. Saka's interesting: Arsenal pens shared with Gyökeres, free kicks, corners, £9.5m, and only about 1 in 10 own him. Filed away. Gibbs-White same shape at Forest — pens and free kicks, £8.0m, roughly 1.5 in 10.
Housekeeping before the pick. Several takers are hurt, so don't chase the role blind: Palmer (muscular, 75% to play), Mateta (hamstring, back mid-October), Kroupi Jr (foot, out to November), plus Wright, Osula and Diarra with no return dates. Their names on this sheet mean nothing until they're on a pitch.
My pick is Thierno Barry. Everton's first-choice penalty taker, £5.6m, and 8 in 100 managers own him — under 1 in 10, which is where I live. Our model has him around 20 points over the next six, which sounds modest until you remember the price and the fact that any Everton penalty is his by right. A striker at £5.6m with guaranteed spot-kick duty is how you fund the expensive end of your squad. The honest caveat: he's cheap for a reason, Everton won't create like Brighton, and the weekly return will be lumpy — blanks, then a penalty and a goal in the same afternoon.
I called Mateta at 6% last season before the world caught up. Ledger's decent on cheap penalty takers. Barry's the next entry.
