Episode notes
Keep Enzo For Minutes And Underlying Output
- If you want a Chelsea attacker to own through a busy Christmas period, keep Enzo Fernandes for his minutes and underlying numbers.
- Avoid relying on Palmer for now as rotation risk increases once he returns from injury.
Be Patient With Semenyo If Absence Is Illness
- If Semenyo is merely ill and expected back, hold him for the Sunderland fixture rather than selling immediately.
- Monitor any further absences; repeated misses suggest a bigger problem that warrants action.
Sunderland Regression Creates Attacking Opportunities
- Sunderland's defensive numbers have worsened recently, making them more vulnerable than early-season form suggested.
- Fulham creating over 2.0 XG against them signals a good attacking fixture for owners targeting returns.
