Official FPL status, match record and listed set-piece orderBenitez logged 90 minutes from the start against Nott'm Forest. Across the season that is 3 starts and 270 minutes, so role security, not the latest points total, is the live question.
1,200 net transfers in is a modest market move. With ownership already at 0.1%, buying now is partly a protection decision; the minutes and role still decide whether it is a good one.
Away at Brighton is an FDR 4 test where clean-sheet and save-volume routes need to beat a difficult matchup. The model lands on 3.4 points; use that as a one-week baseline, not the whole transfer case.
