Benitez did not get on in Gameweek 1.
Official FPL status, match record and listed set-piece orderBenitez's competitive no-show is stronger evidence than a predicted XI. At £4.5m and 0.1% owned, the next team sheet decides whether patience is still justified.
102 net transfers out has pushed the market away from Benitez. For an owner, the useful question is whether 0 starts and 0.00 xGI support holding through the crowd movement.
Home to Man City is an FDR 4 test where clean-sheet and save-volume routes need to beat a difficult matchup. The model lands on 2.2 points; use that as a one-week baseline, not the whole transfer case.
