Maitland-Niles: four angles, one call

The room’s callBetter options at the priceMaitland-Niles is the #67 defender in FPL on our projections for GW8–13 (15.5 pts). Davis (IPS, £4.0m) projects 13.2 more over the same six.

FPL Brains the numbers

Look elsewhere

#67 of the defenders on our numbers, 15.5 over six. Davis at £4.0m projects 13.2 more.

Haulage King the big hauls

Light week

2.1 projected in GW8, Arsenal away. Hauls don’t come from here this week.

Cheapy value for money

Fair price

3.44 points a million, #54 of 130 starting defenders. Nothing cheaper does the same job, but nothing here is a bargain either.

FPL Risky the bold calls

Too risky

1.5% owned, and the numbers say why. Bold is fine; blind isn't.
