One Gameweek cannot tell you who will score all season. It can tell you who the manager trusted, where they played and when they came off.
What to do
- Check whether your player started and played at least 70 minutes.
- Hold a blanking player if the minutes, position and set pieces stayed the same.
- Wait for the next press conference unless an injury or price change forces the move.
Check the team sheet first
A start and 80 to 90 minutes are good reasons to hold. An unexpected benching is a reason to check team news before the next deadline.
Find out whether an early substitution came from fitness, tactics or the match already being won. Do not guess from the minute alone.
Check the role before the points
Look at position, set pieces, shots, chances created and minutes. These tell you more about the next match than last week’s score.
Wait when nothing is forcing the move
If you are not about to lose an important price rise, wait for the press conference and the rest of the matches. More information is usually worth more than an early transfer.
