Official FPL status, match record and listed set-piece order

Saka's 9-point return came through 1 goal in 67 minutes. Season xGI is 0.72, or 0.97 per 90. That is the part to compare with the next two starts.

Saka is currently listed first for penalties. At £9.5m, that dead-ball route is a specific source of value, but it still needs confirmation from the next competitive kick.

Away at Aston Villa is an FDR 4 test where goal, assist and clean-sheet routes need to beat a difficult matchup. The model lands on 5.0 points; use that as a one-week baseline, not the whole transfer case.
