The War Room · GW8–13

Diouf: four angles, one call

The room’s callBetter options at the priceDiouf is the #114 defender in FPL on our projections for GW8–13 (4.6 pts). Davis (IPS, £4.0m) projects 24.1 more over the same six.

FPL Brains the numbers

Look elsewhere

#114 of the defenders on our numbers, 4.6 over six. Davis at £4.0m projects 24.1 more.

Haulage King the big hauls

Light week

0.9 projected in GW8, Hull City away. Hauls don’t come from here this week.

Cheapy value for money

Poor value

1.02 points a million, #100 of 130 starting defenders. That money works harder almost anywhere else.

FPL Risky the bold calls

Too risky

0.1% owned, and the numbers say why. Bold is fine; blind isn't.
