The FFGeek choice

This is one of the captain choices that will potentially be rank changing whatever you choose.  At the moment I haven’t even decided on transfers let alone captain choice but will post the team with captain choice on Friday/Saturday

Some basic stats

De Bruyne Man City mid £10.4m

4 games 3 goal 2 assists.  FPL point every  9.6mins.  Consistency return rate (return in a game of a goal or assist) 3 returns from 4 games ie 75%.  Good creating chances stats but not so strong shooting stats great assist record.  Played 2 games over the Intnl break against Andorra and Israel in Brussels.

Bournemouth defence:  8 games 12 goals conceded 1 clean sheet.  Underlying defensive stats are pretty good though.

STK(A) 1-2

Sanchez Arsenal  mid £11.2m.

8 games 5 goals 1 assists.  FPL point every 11.4 mins.  Consistency return rate 3 returns from 8 games ie 38%.  The best midfield shooting stats of any player. Has been in South America for the Intl break.  Some hint of a groin injury.

Villa  defence:  7 games 13 goals conceded 1 clean sheet.  Underlying defensive stats aren’t nearly as bad as you would imagine though.  More mid tableish apart from errors which are poor.
