521 net transfers out has pushed the market away from Merino. For an owner, the useful question is whether 0 starts and 0.29 xGI support holding through the crowd movement.
Away at Nott'm Forest is an FDR 3 fixture that puts the focus on goal, assist and clean-sheet routes. The model lands on 2.0 points; use that as a one-week baseline, not the whole transfer case.
