Arsenal’s Saka and Martinelli seem to have taken the spotlight off of Odegard.
I actually think this is one of the things that I like about him. Saka and Martinelli have taken the spotlight at Arsenal despite Odegaard having the 2nd highest xG (behind Gabriel Jesus) and by far the highest xA in the 5 games prior to the World Cup break. These are the stats:
| Player | Minutes | xG | xA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Odegaard | 427 | 1.98 | 2.17 |
| Saka | 379 | 0.32 | 1.50 |
| Martinelli | 408 | 0.55 | 0.34 |
When you look at the last 5, there's only one player here that people should be choosing.
I like Almiron too and I'm £0.1m short of being able to pick him instead of Pereira - easily found be downgrading Raya to a £4.5m or Danny Ward.
My team’s looking a mess and I might have to do everything again. I’ve tried to buy all the big boys but ffp won’t allow me😂
Ha ha - You don't want to disobey FFP - you'll have a transfer embargo and will only be able to sign free transfers.
I’m not convinced Salah is back just yet
Me neither. It's something I'm still thinking about 🤔
Is Nunez a great option? I think I missed your analysis on him. Would like to know what you think.
I think that he is despite his terrible finishing. I briefly covered him in my core players post and he's somebody is almost 100% in my GW17 team.
