Official FPL status, match record and listed set-piece orderBuendía logged 85 minutes from the start against Brighton. Across the season that is 1 start and 85 minutes, so role security, not the latest points total, is the live question.
Buendía is currently listed first for penalties, direct free-kicks. At £6.0m, that dead-ball route is a specific source of value, but it still needs confirmation from the next competitive kick.
Home to Arsenal is an FDR 4 test where goal, assist and clean-sheet routes need to beat a difficult matchup. The model lands on 3.1 points; use that as a one-week baseline, not the whole transfer case.
