Ballard's booking came in a 90-minute appearance against Ipswich Town. It is not a transfer reason by itself, but it belongs in the longer availability record.

6,782 net transfers out has pushed the market away from Ballard. For an owner, the useful question is whether 1 starts and 0.01 xGI support holding through the crowd movement.

Home to Fulham is an inviting FDR 2 spot for clean-sheet floor and attacking involvement. The model lands on 3.1 points; use that as a one-week baseline, not the whole transfer case.
